Dear friends,
My partner and I are moving to France and will be living there for 9+ months in a house we have rented about 15 minutes from Bergerac in Dordogne. We will be moving there in September. We are both from Denmark.
I need to find a solution for transport as our house is somewhat in the countryside. I don't have big finances at the moment, so Looking for the cheapest, but also most reliable solutions. For example I am open to paying a bit more for a rental, if it means I will have a new car, and that I won't be responsible for paying for repairs etc. as I would be if I bought an older car.
I have looked at the regular rentals, which are of course simply too expensive for such a long term stay.
1. I have heard about some special deals that you can get from the supermarkets, can any of you in the know please help me out with more information on this- especially if you know something about the specific current deals in the area I will be living in? I tried looking at some of their websites but had a hard time understanding the terms, even with google translate.
2. I have also considered purchasing a car, my limit would probably be around 500-1000 Euro for this (not including the card and insurance that I have to get). Is this a straightforward procedure, and would I be able to get a decent car (I don't care abou the size so much, as long as it can transport me back and forth) that won't cost hundreds in repairs for the budget I have?
3. Last but not least, I have considered purchasing a scooter that can transport me to Bergerac for my weekly shopping etc. I like this idea as it my be my cheapest option. Anyone have info on prices for a used scooter (under 125cc so I won't need to get extra drivers license) and also whether this will be a reliable solution in the winter months in the area of Dordogne where I will be living?
Thank you so much for your answers, Highly, highly appreciated...
