Car hire in France : important 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 from your country of origin, and you must have held this licence for a year or more. 
You will need to show this license when picking up your vehicle.
Temporary visitors (tourists)  from other European Union countries, the United Kingdom and some other countries do not need an International driving licence.  However they may need to show a passport or national identity card.

Visitors from Asia, Australia, Africa, and many parts of the Americas (including some US states) must also have an International Driving Permit. This is true whether hiring a rental car or driving a vehicle that is put at your disposal under any other circumstances, i.e. lent by friend or family, company car, or long-term leasing. 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 their vehicle on line using the services of the companies concerned.

  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  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 model. This is true even with the largest operators, except when specific  terms of the vehicle rental contract guarantee a particular make of vehicle and/or  model.
