What You Need to Rent a Car in France

France is the most visited country in the world by tourists. The thing is that the tourist flow does not fade away even in the low season, because the unique landscape and atmosphere makes the country interesting even in the cold season. France is also a country rich in history and culture. There are many majestic sights here. Renting a car will help you not to be dependent on public transport and excursion schedules.

When planning long-distance trips in France, you should choose rental companies that do not set mileage limits, even if they have a higher rental day. The approximate cost of renting a car with insurance and a navigator is 40-50 EUR per day, the economy option is from 25-30 EUR. To rent a car in France, you will need the following things:

  • the international driver's license;
  • the credit card.

It should be borne in mind that to rent a car in France, the driver must be over 21 years old and have driving experience of at least a year. For some car models, the minimum age must be 23 years. Larger companies may require you to pay a "young driver fee" if you are under 25 years of age. The amount of car rental in France includes the following aspects:

  • unlimited mileage (in the vast majority of cases);
  • the standard CDW insurance (a package that covers damage to the car except for wheels and windows).

If the driver needs additional services or devices, such as a child car seat, a navigator, guides and roof racks, etc., this needs to be discussed in advance. In France, you will get a rented car with a full tank. So, you will have to return it in the same condition. With a short-term lease, it is possible to rent a car to a branch of the company in another city without paying extra for it. For longer rentals, this issue must be clarified in advance as well.

Before receiving a rental vehicle, you should carefully inspect the car body and interior for scratches, cracks and chips. If the damage occurred through the fault of the client, he/she risks only the franchise amount since the rest is covered by the insurance company. In the act of acceptance and transfer, all components that are present in the car are noted. You should carefully reconcile so that in the end you do not have to pay for the missing element.

To block the amount of the deposit (franchise, fuel and VAT), a credit card issued in the name of the driver is required. Cash, cards of Maestro, Switch, Visa Electron systems, any debit cards are not accepted for processing. The owner's name and credit card number must be raised or embossed.

The highest demand for car rental in France occurs during the high tourist season happens in summer. The cost increases by 20-30% and the choice of available cars is significantly reduced if you do not take care of booking in advance. You can find the best price for car rental in France at our website Solrentacar.com. Our analysts constantly monitor the rates of leading car rental companies in France. This enables us to provide our customers with the best service at the most reasonable price.

Driving and Parking in France

In France, for the convenience of roads in cities, in some places they are equipped with special scoreboards that determine the speed of a moving car and warn of a dangerous excess of the norm. Police officers can collect fines on the spot with a receipt in France. The legal blood alcohol content for a driver is 0.50 ppm. With a significant excess of the permissible level of alcohol, the driver will not only pay 4,500 euros, but will also lose his license for three years in France.

You should pay attention to speed limits: in the city, the maximum speed of movement is only 50 km/h. On the motorway, you can accelerate to 130 km/h, and outside the city, it is up to 90. For non-compliance with these rules, fines from 68 to 1,500 euros are charged. The unspoken rule of French roads is that the pedestrian is always right. This means that passing people at the crossings should be strictly.

Some roads in France are subject to payment depending on the distance and rented vehicle category. The fare is indicated on the scoreboard at the entrance to the paid section. Bank cards and cash are accepted for payment. According to the official website of the Ministry of Transport in France, toll roads are marked with the letter "A" on a blue road sign. The fare varies depending on the seasons in France, the car and the number of people. There are also dates when the tunnels in the mountains are closed.

France is equipped with radars that automatically control the implementation of the necessary speed limits by drivers. Nowadays, there are no longer warning signs on the roads. What matters here is that the function of reporting the approach to the radar must be turned off in cars equipped with electronic devices.

Lots of parking lots in the country have horodateurs machines that accept certain cards sold at tobacconists. Generally, you can park for free from 19:00 to 7:00 on weekdays, at any time on weekends and holidays, as well as throughout August. In small French towns, it is additionally allowed to park for free from 12:00 to 13:30. You can find exact information at the parking machine. Parking for more than a day is prohibited (except for special long-term parking lots).

The Les Invalides in Paris is a famous architectural monument that has become a haven for wounded soldiers and honored war veterans who returned from the war. Today, the complex houses several museums, in particular, the famous Army Museum and the Necropolis.

The beauty of the Loire River is able to strike on the spot, so it is not at all surprising that the French kings, dukes and marquises chose the Loire Valley for the construction of castles. Today in this territory there are more than seventy castles built in different styles and at different times.

Some of them are in excellent condition, and some have not passed the test of time and turned into ruins. One of the most recognizable is Chambord Castle. The snow-white Chateau de Chenonceau, standing right on the river, instantly catches the eye. Today the palace is privately owned, but is open to anyone who wants to touch the beauty.

A fashionable resort city, the pearl of the Cote d'Azur, Nice attracts tourists not only with beaches and entertainment. In Nice, there are the Chagall and Matisse museums, the Archaeological Museum dedicated to ancient artifacts, and a park exposition of primitive art objects. To have time to see all the cathedrals, castles and palaces of Nice, it will take several days.

There is a small town of Chamonix Mont Blanc in the east of France. It is surrounded by the picturesque Alps. Nearby, there is the mountain of the same name, whose peak every year hundreds of climbers try to conquer. Chamonix Mont Blanc is mostly known for skiing, and the local resorts regularly receive several thousand people per season. The slopes of the local mountains are ideal for skiing. Coming to Chamonix Mont Blanc in a rented car, remember that you are visiting, and then not only ski resorts will open for you, but also the hospitality of the French.

How to Rent a Car in France without a Deposit? 

When signing a car rental agreement in France, the client pays a deposit for the car, which is the amount of liability and franchise in case of damage or theft of the car. The cash deposit is the price limit for which you are responsible and payable at your own expense. As a rule, this is at least 10% of the market value of a new rented car.

However, by purchasing full insurance, that is, insuring your risks of paying a franchise, you can rent a car without a deposit in France. Several international companies (Budget, Avis, Sixt, Hertz) and national ones (National) provide this opportunity. Pay attention to the types of insurance included in the price. If the price per day of renting a car is suspiciously low, it is possible that there is no insurance. As a result, it will still have to be purchased, as a result of which the cost will increase several times.
