Low cost car hire in France

Hiring a car in France is as easy as doing so in any other country. Low-cost car hire facilities as well as the big names in car hire are available at all airports, all main rail stations, and at many other locations within towns and cities. There are a lot of car hire firms in France, including the main international car-rental companies. You may feel happier booking with a car-hire firm you know, but often the low-cost car hire companies, working through local operators, offer care-hire at cheaper rates.
    The hire-car finder box below will search through the offers of a range of car hire companies, and offer you a range of solutions, from the cheapest to the most expensive.
      Select your hire point from the drop-down list
     Place cursor in date box, and use the calendar that opens up.

Use the search box below to find a selection of cheap car hire options in France, including EasyCar (a sister company to EasyJet), Carhire3000 and others. Do not use this box if you prefer to hire from one of the big car hire companies such as Hertz or Avis. Do not use this box if you want to pick up a car in one country and return it in another. Use one of the big international operators.



Useful information:
To hire a car in France you must be at least 21 years old; some car-hire firms will not hire vehicles to drivers under 25.  You must hold a valid drivers license (or driving licence) from your country of origin, and you must have held this licence for a year or more. 
Drivers from other European Union countries and some other countries do not need an International Driving licence.  However they may ned to show a passport or national identity card.

Tourists from Asia, Australia, Africa, and many parts of the Americas (including some US states) must also have an International Driving License.  It is advisable to check with your local driving organisation, tour operator, or the local French embassy if you are in any doubt as to whether you need this document. An international driving license is a document you will need to obtain in your own country, before coming to France.

About-France.com is not a car hire company;  the role of this web page  is to allow travellers to compare cheap car hire options offered by a number of companies and/or brokers, and to book car hire on line using the services of the companies concerned. By using this form, you will be taken to carhireengine.co.uk, a U.K. based car-hire broker working with reputable low-cost car-hire operators throughout France and worldwide. By using this service, you will have a choice of cheap car hire options from several different companies, often including unbeatable rates.
Any booking contract made through this site is a contract between you, the user, and the car hire company selected. Under no circumstances can About-France.com be considered as party to or guarantor of any car hire contract entered into by users of this website.  Travellers are reminded that it is unusual for car hire companies to guarantee a specific model of car; in virtually all cases, advanced bookings will guarantee a specific type of car (compact, economy, limousine, etc.), but not a specific make. This is true even with the largest operators, except when specific  terms of contract guarantee a particular make of vehicle and/or  model.
