Parisian streets certainly favor a smaller vehicle such as a sedan, coupe, or two-door vehicle, as many of the older streets are quite compact and narrow. Finding streetside parking would also be much more difficult in a larger vehicle.
For urban roads in Paris, the general speed limit is 50 km/h (31 mph) unless otherwise noted. Outside of the city, however, the speed limits will increase significantly with expressways posting speed limits up to 110 km/h (68 mph) and highways posting limits up to 130 km/h (80 mph). However, in adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, or fog, the legal speed limits on expressways and highways drop to 100 km/h (62 mph) and 110 km/h (68 mph), respectively.
Parking in Paris is scarce and can be difficult for those not used to big city parking. In general, streetside parking and underground parking lots are the main options available. Parking costs are significantly more expensive in the central arrondissements, so for those who don’t mind taking the subway, parking in the outlying arrondissements is a good option. Travelers should also note that parking is free in most areas of the city on Sundays and at night.

Almost all car rental companies charge additional fees. Some charge a fixed fee per day, while others charge you an additional fee based on the rental car coverage you choose. Some companies may charge you a fuel surcharge, while others charge an additional fee if you damage your rental car. You could be charged hundreds of dollars in unexpected fees if you don't read the fine print. We recommend protecting your rental car with theft and collision damage insurance to avoid these fees. You can also purchase optional extended coverage for even more peace of mind.

Whether you’re planning to cruise around the capital’s landmarks, a day-trip to a nearby wine region like Champagne or the Loire Valley or set off on a road trip across the country to the South of France, there are plenty of options for car rentals in Paris. You can even pick up a car in Paris and drop it off at your destination, so no need to backtrack. And if you’re planning an extensive trip throughout France, you may even snag better deals on longer-term rentals.
As the capital, all roads really do lead to Paris. But the city’s strategic position in the northern part of France puts you within a quick drive of other scenic stretches of the country, like Normandy, as well as other countries entirely, like Belgium. And for those who enjoy city driving, you can’t get much better than cruising down iconic boulevards like the Champs-Élysées, around squares like Place de la Concorde, and past monuments like the Arc de Triomphe. Car rental companies are located throughout the city, as well as at train stations and in the airports, and most of the rental agencies are open on Sundays and holidays, so you can pick up a car whenever you need it—even if it’s last-minute.
Similar to the U.S., you’ll need to have a valid driver’s license, an ID or passport, and a credit card in your name for a deposit and incidentals. The minimum age to rent a car in Paris is 21, and you will need to have had your license for at least a year. Some companies have a higher age minimum of 25 for certain types of cars, such as luxury vehicles, and most agencies will have a surcharge for “young drivers” under 25 or those over 70.
Manual cars are the most affordable option when it comes to rentals, but electric vehicles can also be a good deal and are especially good in cities since you're not driving long distances.
Parking can be a challenge in Paris and some streets or alleys can be a tight squeeze, so unless you’re traveling as a family or group and need car seats or room for luggage, opt for something on the smaller side (there’s a reason why smart cars are so popular). Electric vehicles can be a great way to save on gas, and you’ll find charging stations throughout the city.
You can rent a car at both airports (Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly) and agencies are open from the first to the last flight. If you’re arriving by train or staying close to a station, you can pick up a car from most of the major train stations, including Gare de Lyon and Gare du Nord. Most of the larger rental agencies have offices scattered throughout the city as well.
If you’re planning to end your trip in another city or country, you can reserve a one-way car rental and drop the car at one of the rental agency’s other locations. Keep in mind this usually ups the fee, especially if you’re returning the car in a different country. Be sure to check to see if your car insurance includes the same level of coverage if you leave the country. Italy, for example, may have its own rules, and some credit card car insurance policies don’t cover rentals in Italy.
Drivers need unlimited third-party liability insurance, which agencies may include in their daily rental rates. Often, rental companies include some sort of minimum protection, or you can add on extras like collision protection. If your credit card includes car insurance, you may have to deny the car rental company’s insurance so yours kicks in. As with any city, cars can get bumped or scratched while parked on the street or in a garage, and paint jobs can be pricey, so better to be on the safe side with insurance.
In the city, the average speed limit is 30 km/h (19 mph), but in some spots, it’s 50 km/h (30 mph). The rules change when you get to the ring roads, where the limit is 70 km/h (43 mph). Main roads are usually around 80km/h (50 mph) or 90 km/h (56 mph), while motorways are between 130 km/h (80 mph) and 110 km/h (68 mph), depending on the weather. Always give way to traffic on the right, and cars already in a roundabout have the right of way. While cyclists should be following the same rules of the road, they often weave in and out of traffic, so keep an eye out for bikes and crossing pedestrians.
Street parking is tough to find, but if you do get lucky and score a spot, you’ll have to pay for parking Monday through Saturday from 9 am to 8 pm and you’re limited to two hours. Depending on where you’re at in the city, the hourly rate is around €6 (about $6.6) in the center of Paris (1st to 11th arrondissements) and about €4 (around $4.4) per hour for the rest of the city. You can pay by credit card or with an app like PaybyPhone. Your best bet is one of the underground garages—marked with signs with a white “P” on a blue background—which are open 24/7 and charge hourly, half-day, and full-day rates, as well as fares for longer stays. If you want to ensure a space before getting to a garage, you can reserve a spot using BePark.
Your best option for a gas station is around the ring road (périphérique) since there are fewer stations in the more tourist-heavy parts of Paris. Gas averages around €2 (about $2.20) per liter, and some stations are open late (until around 10 p.m.) or 24 hours. To find electric charging stations, use an app like Chargemap or Plug Share, which you can also use to pay for EV chargers.

Traffic is one of the main problems in Paris, especially in the summer months, so try and avoid rush hour and holiday weekends, when Parisians skip town for the sea or their country home.
