Question 4

What types of cars can I rent in Paris?

Accepted Answer

Bustling city streets and narrow parking spaces are no match for an economy car — the most commonly booked rental type in Paris. Jump behind the wheel of one of these and navigate traffic easily. Affordable, reliable and good on fuel, these small cars pack plenty of punch. But Paris can be explored in almost any sort of hire you like. Compact, full-size and premium vehicles are other options to consider.

Accepted Answer

There's so much to do in Paris, but head farther afield and you'll find even more magic. Hire a set of wheels and you can discover the greater area at your leisure. Add these fantastic drives to your list:

Head to Washington for a fantastic sightseeing experience. About 50 miles from Paris, it's home to many inspiring sights, including White House.
Your next pit stop? Make it Baltimore, which is around 75 miles away. National Aquarium in Baltimore is one local highlight you really shouldn't miss.
Visit First Landing State Park to discover some local nature. Take a picnic to enjoy or just recharge your batteries in the fresh air. From Paris, it's roughly 180 miles away.

Usually, the requirement is 21 years and over in Paris. It's worth noting that most outlets have a young driver surcharge. Read the fine print before you book, as different rules may apply between hire car providers. Bear in mind that if you're planning to hire a specialty ride or a large car like a premium SUV, you may need to be older than 21.

Question 8

What do you need to hire a car in Paris?

Question 11

Where can I find a Paris hire car if I am younger than 25?

Accepted Answer

Some Paris companies will hire to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll need to do your homework. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some businesses will apply a surcharge to customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.

Question 12

Can I drive in Paris with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car hire website before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car hire. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
