Why rent a car with Léa Auto rather than another rental company?

Or how to enjoy car rental 24/7 in Angers!

Par DROUOT Thomas ·

1. Our rental cars are close to Angers Saint-Laud station.

Planning a weekend in Les Sables-d'Olonne or at the Puy du Fou? Arriving from Paris by TGV at Angers St-Laud station? Then what could be better than walking out of the station and finding a car ready for you, self-service and available with an easy-to-use mobile app, without queuing at a rental desk?

Of course, you will have to walk a little to reach the car, which is usually a few minutes (about 7 minutes) from Angers Saint-Laud station. But the same goes for traditional rental companies, which often park their cars outside the station.

But don't worry: at Léa Auto, we can, on request, bring the car as close as possible to the station, for example to the Lafayette car park , you just pay the parking fee.

2. Our cars are self-service, 24/7.

How does it work? Thanks to the Connect technology of two well-known platforms: Getaround and Ouicar (now part of Turo). Our service runs entirely through these two platforms, where our cars are listed.

Everything about how self-service cars work is explained on our website.

After that, it's really simple: depending on the platform you booked on, you follow the instructions and pick up the car on your own :).

3. We provide booster seats and car seats for your children!

Why carry a child car seat with you when your rental company provides one free of charge*, suited to your child's age and weight?

At Léa Auto, you can simply use Léa's car seat :).

Please send us a request with your child's weight and age and the number of children travelling with you. Feel free to remind us before your rental starts.

* subject to availability (book ahead in high season)

4. Great value for money!

By renting through the two peer-to-peer rental platforms Ouicar (Turo) and Getaround, you get great value for money. And by renting from a private owner like Léa Auto who has gone professional, you get the best of both worlds!

All our cars are self-service rentals. We clean them regularly so you get a top-quality service. Insurance is included and we are here to help if anything goes wrong.

5. Reliable, well-maintained cars with the options you'll love!

The original problem with peer-to-peer car rental platforms was that the cars were often old and did not match the quality of a traditional rental agency. At Léa Auto, we chose to offer only recent, low-mileage cars so that your rental is as stress-free as possible.

We offer recent cars, but not brand new ones, to keep the best balance of price, quality and equipment. At a traditional rental agency, you also pay more because the car is often very new. At Léa Auto, you get a good middle ground.

This way we avoid the mechanical problems that can occur on older models, like those you often find on peer-to-peer rental platforms.

Of course, all our cars are perfectly maintained according to the manufacturers' recommendations, and even beyond. So you can drive with complete peace of mind.
