In France with Europcar
While there are some local car rental
companies
in france, there are fewer of them than in the neighboring countries.
The french rental car market is dominated by international companies. It doesn't mean that they know the country any worse than locals, though most of them have been in france for decades and their french branches have plenty of domestic expertise (and one of the largest car rental companies in the world, europcar, is french). While going with a regional company can be a good way to support a local business, there is no particular reason to avoid international providers.
Prices can vary from depending on the company, season and the car, but most places will offer a discount if you reserve the car a while in advance of your arrival in france. It usually costs about $15-40 per day for the cheapest automatic car. Bigger cars can be more expensive because they will require more fuel so you may want to opt for a smaller vehicle which will also benefit you on smaller roads. You may want to check out the discover cars to compare the different prices for your dates and find the best deals. You can get some good deals from world-renown rental companies like avis, sixt car hire, europcar and others.
Charles de gaulle airport is the largest of france’s airports, and is the second busiest in all of europe. It can be found 23 kilometres (14 miles) to the north-east of paris, the french capital city. Booking a hire car in advance allows you to get your holiday started straight away, and also allows you to save money. Depending on your destination, requirements, and the time of your booking, car hire in france can be as little as €3 euros a day . Many of the airports host some of the most popular car hire operators there are, such as alamo , hertz , europcar , keddy , and enterprise.
Car hire (rental) companies such as avis, eurodollar, europcar, hertz, national citer and thrifty have offices in most cities and large towns and at major airports. Look under location de voitures in the yellow pages. If you’re a visitor, it’s wise to book a rental car before arriving in france. Fly-drive deals are available through most airlines and travel agencies. French railways (sncf) offer inclusive train and car rental deals, and their france vacances pass includes car rental. You can rent an avis car from 196 sncf stations and leave it at any station operating the train + auto scheme (leaflets are available at sncf stations and include a map of participating stations).
What not to miss while driving in France
While france has an extensive rail network , a car is probably the best way to explore the country in total freedom. From motorways to departmental roads and country lanes, france has an extensive road network, and driving is a good option if you plan to explore the countryside. The most detailed maps are produced by ign (external link) (web site in french only), and show even the smallest paths. Others, such as michelin maps (external link) (web site in english), also give an excellent overview of the road network. As a general rule, tolls are levied on motorways.
6 mins read while france has an easy to use, well-connected rail system that allows you to get from one side of the country to the other in record time (thanks to the high-speed tgv that links many major french cities), those looking to explore the french countryside may find their travels are made much easier by renting a car. Luckily for americans (or anyone besides the british, really), people in france drive on the right side of the road (making driving in a foreign country a whole lot easier), and france has a well-maintained highway network. And because many of the most charming villages and areas of the country cannot be accessed by train, renting a car in france is a great way to get off the beaten path and explore tiny villages and vineyards from normandy to nice.
To rent a car in france, you'll need: driver's license international driving permit (idp) valid id (driver’s license or passport can be used; for non-eu visitors, an international driver permit is required if your license is not written in english. )international travelers must also show passport, proof of return travel & residency information credit or debit card. (debit cards will require an id and address verification.
[05:06] so, if you absolutely need to pickup a car in paris because you’re driving out to other parts of france, i recommend you get your car at one of the major train stations in paris. There are 6 major train stations in paris: gare du nord, gare de l’est, gare saint-lazare, gare montparnasse, gare d’austerlitz, and gare de lyon. You could also go to one of the airports, but that’s harder to do, a simple metro line will take you to any of the train stations. I’ll put a map on the show notes so you can see where they are in paris, to see that go to joinusinfrance.
