Timetable information for your actual travel dates from: Eurostar: www.eurostar.com SNCF: www.voyages-sncf.com Car hire at Agen station There are several car hire companies opposite Agen station (Avis, Europcar), but these may shut around 6pm. However, if you need to collect the car after 6pm, they will leave the keys and papers with the booking office at the station and are helpful in doing this. However; (1) this MUST be arranged with the actual office in Agen (not central reservations - but they will give you the direct telephone number for the Agen Station branch); and (2) to collect the car key and papers you will need the same information as you would to collect the car direct eg: Driving Licence, Passport, booking reference etc. Either way, the car will be waiting for you in the station car park. Europcar: www.europcar.com Avis: www.avis.co.uk The Hertz office in Agen is not at the SNCF station but is only around 10 mins away by taxi. Hertz: www.hertz.co.uk
