I fly regularly to Poitiers and have always rented through Hertz as they always seem to be cheapest compared with Avis and Budget. However Hertz are now pressuring their customers to take out extra damage insurance for approx 7 euros per day - quite expensive I think! If you don't take out their insurance they say that if they find a scratch you could be charged up to 800 euros! I feel that this is quite dreadful considering that the cars are usually covered in dents and scratches anyway. I would also be interested in finding alternative car hire next time I travel to Poitiers.
