Car Rentals in Paris, Ile-de-France

If you wish to purchase car rentals 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 vehicle 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 car rentals in Paris you’ll have to show your driver’s license along with a credit card in the same name as the renter’s and main driver’s. The car rental 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.

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 car rentals 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 kilometers 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 traffic circles 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 car rentals 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.

If you’re visiting France from another country, make sure you have the correct documentation for picking up your rental car reservation. If your driver’s license is printed in the Latin alphabet, you should be able to retrieve your vehicle with just a valid driver’s license and a credit card matching the renter’s name. They may ask for a second form of identification, like a passport. If the driver’s 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.
