Question 17

While visiting, is it worthwhile to rent a car while visiting Paris?

Accepted Answer

If you get a cheap car rental in Paris, you'll find yourself to be less dependent on other methods of travel, such as a bus or taxi. The good thing about driving in the city is that you'll not have to worry much about parking spaces as long as you're willing to part with a small fee (but you can be lucky and find free parking). Parking locations are present on the streets or underground public parking lots chargeable per hour or in private lots in hotels available at a fixed fee. We recommend that you avoid driving during rush hour just as the sun is rising and when it's about to set, and you'll steer from traffic stemming from Parisian drivers who are generally known to ever be in a hurry. With the city landmarks in proximity, quality sidewalks, and low crime rates, Paris is quite walkable. However, rental cars in Paris will make it much easier to explore beyond the city centre. Day trips out of Paris to places like the Versailles Palace and Claude Monet's house will be much easier to undertake with a car.

Question 18

Can I drive to other countries with a rental car from Paris?

Accepted Answer

Crossing the borders into surrounding countries like Spain, Belgium, Germany, or Switzerland with Paris car rentals should not be an issue. As long as you inform the car rental branch, you should be able to cross the borders by car, as most providers allow this. If you do not inform the rental company, you may be charged a penalty fee. However, make sure to reserve a vehicle that doesn’t have a mileage limit. Crossing European borders should not require any documentation. Nonetheless, having your passport on you would be necessary in case of being pulled over. The provider may apply a fee for driving the car into foreign countries.

Question 19

Can you hire a car in Paris without a credit card?

Accepted Answer

If you wish to hire a car in Paris without a credit card, you most likely won’t be able to. It’s not very common for car rental providers in France to allow rentals with debit cards. With Hertz, for example, you may make the reservation with a debit card, but upon picking up the car you must present said debit card along with a credit card. However, you may check with specific branches to confirm they don’t accept debit card payments. When getting your hired cars in Paris you’ll have to show your driving license along with a credit card in the same name as the renter’s and main driver’s. The car hire locations in Paris may only accept specific international bank cards, generally either with a MasterCard or VISA logo. Check with the rental offices to make sure your credit card will be accepted.

Question 20

What driving laws should I keep an eye out for in Paris?

Accepted Answer

If you aren’t familiar with the driving laws and rules in France, here are a few you should be aware of when getting cheap hired cars in Paris. They drive on the right-hand side of the road in France, as well as the adjacent countries. France uses the metric system, so the speed limits and distances are measured in kilometres per hour. Children under the age of 10 are not allowed to ride in the front seat and seatbelts are mandatory for all passengers in a vehicle. In France and the rest of Europe, the use of roundabouts instead of intersections is common. When approaching one, make sure to yield to the vehicles already circling. Drinking and driving laws in France are strict, so be responsible and refrain from driving your hired cars in Paris when under the influence. The law states 0.05% BAC and above as the point you'll be driving under the influence. Drivers must carry a reflective vest and warning triangle that will come in handy in an accident or car trouble. You'll also need a full set of replacement bulbs for the head and tail lights of the car, plus a "Crit'Air" badge if you plan on driving in central Paris.

Question 21

What documents does an international traveler need to rent a car in Paris?

Accepted Answer

If you’re visiting France from another country, make sure you have the correct documentation for picking up your rental car reservation. If your driving license is printed in the Latin alphabet, you should be able to retrieve your vehicle with just a valid driving license and a credit card matching the renter’s name. They may ask for a second form of identification, like a passport. If the driving license from your country of origin is in a different alphabet like Greek, Russian, or Japanese, the car rental provider may require you to present an International Driver’s Permit along with your document. This permit is just a translation of your original license and must be presented together to be valid. Nevertheless, contact your renting office in advance to make sure you have all the necessary documents to pick up your economy car rental.

Question 22

When did momondo last update prices for cars in Paris?

Accepted Answer

Prices for cars in Paris refresh daily.

Question 23

How many operators does momondo search for cars in Paris?

Accepted Answer

There are 437 operators available for cars in Paris as of January 2025.

Question 24

How old do you have to be to hire a car in Paris?

Accepted Answer

The minimum age for drivers varies by country, including Paris. In numerous EU countries, drivers must be 18 years old. To hire a car overseas, you'll generally need to be at least 21, and if you're under 25, a young driver surcharge may be applied. We advise that you read the policy of your chosen hire company before making a reservation.

Question 25

What documentation or ID do you need to hire a car in Paris?

Accepted Answer

To hire a car in Paris, all drivers must present a valid full driving license. If the license is written in a language other than the language of the country of hire, an International Driving Permit may be required to avoid the risk of potential fines. If you're hiring a car abroad, you may also need to provide evidence of your return travel and accommodation information during your stay. We always recommend that you verify with the specific hire company you're booking with.
