Paris car rentals

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.
