While the city of lights is an exciting destination, booking a rental car in Paris with Auto Europe allows you to see more and enjoy day trips out of Paris to the Chateau de Versailles, Fontainebleau, and Chartres, to name just a few. Slip behind the wheel of a sporty convertible and leave the Eiffel Tower behind for a few hours as you and your sweetheart enjoy a champagne tour at Reims or Epernay. Escape the bustle of Paris for a quaint stroll through the charming city of Rouen - lingering over local delicacies for a memorable lunch before hopping into your Paris car rental and heading back to the most romantic city in the world for a night on the town. Renting a car is the perfect way to enhance your trip - allowing you to see and do more than possible without the freedom a rental car provides.

Auto Europe offers more questions about renting a car in France and more comprehensive information about driving regulations in France.
To rent a car in Paris, you must be at least 21 years old and have held your license for at least 1 year. Specific car categories or luxury vehicles may have restrictions and require drivers to be at least 25 years old. All drivers under 25 should check if a young driver surcharge is included in their rental rate.
Travelers picking up their rental car in Paris should know that all drivers must carry unlimited third-party liability insurance. With Auto Europe, the cost is already included in our daily rental rates. This protects travelers from injury, death, and property damage to others while behind the wheel of their car. While some major credit cards offer cardholders car rental insurance, not all car rental suppliers will accept this.
Check with Auto Europe or your supplier before your trip to determine what coverage you need and where you will purchase it. Insurance purchased at the car rental counter can be more expensive than purchasing it at pick-up time. Learn more about required and optional rental car insurance in Paris with Auto Europe.
It is strongly recommended that you carry an International Driving Permit (IDP) when driving a rental car in Paris. However, you may drive with a valid driver's license if it is accompanied by a notarized translation in French.
Travelers to Paris who do not possess a credit card can still rent a vehicle through Auto Europe. If you want to rent a car with a debit card or some other form of payment, we recommend calling our customer service team at 1-888-223-5555. If you do book a rental car with a debit card, be aware that when you pick-up your vehicle the rental company will need to charge your debit card enough to cover any damage done to the car, this money will be returned to your debit card after the car is returned in good condition.
