Tips for hiring a car in Paris

Browse helpful tips for hiring a car in Paris including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on 18 April 2024.
  • By hiring a vehicle in Paris, you give yourself the freedom and flexibility to explore the City of Love at your own pace and in your own way. With your own hire vehicle, you can head out to popular attractions outside of peak times and enjoy the city’s vibrant dining and nightlife scene on your own schedule.
  • If you want to get out of the city from time to time, Paris is an excellent starting point for plenty of beautiful road trips. If you love champagne, you can take the A4 to Reims and discover the place where bubbly was created. A little closer to the city, on the western outskirts of Paris, you’ll find the Palace of Versailles. Farther west, off the coast of Normandy, you can explore the Mont-Saint-Michel island.
  • In Paris, and all throughout France, your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) can be no greater than 0.05% when driving a vehicle on an open licence. Note that different countries in Europe have different legal BACs. For example, in the UK, it’s 0.08%, while in Sweden, it’s 0.02%. So, if you plan on driving to other countries with your hire car, always check the drink driving rules.
