Planning the perfect France road trip
A road trip is one of the best ways to experience a place like France. Consider a one-way rental to make the most of your journey—pick up in one city and return in another, with no need to backtrack. This gives you maximum flexibility to see more sights and spend more time exploring.
France through a driver’s eyes: general driving tips
With a developed road network, routes in France are easy and convenient, connecting major points of interest. Observe local rules for the driving side. Speed limits are strictly enforced. Watch for toll roads on main highways and keep some local currency or a credit card handy.
What do you need to rent a car if France is on your itinerary?
While France has its own local rules that may vary, certain requirements are standard. Use this checklist to ensure a smooth rental experience.
Valid Driver’s License and IDP: Your standard driver’s license from your country is the first step. For international travel, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is strongly recommended and often required—especially if your license isn’t in Latin script.
Minimum Age Requirements: Most rental companies require drivers to be at least 21, and many set the minimum at 25. Drivers under 25 should expect a Young Driver Fee. Some locations may also have an upper age limit (e.g., 75+).
Credit Card for Security Deposit: A valid credit card in the main driver’s name is the global standard. It’s used to hold a security deposit for potential charges such as tolls, fuel, or damage. Debit cards are rarely accepted for the deposit.
