Car Hire France - Cities and Towns
easyCar has car rental facilities in many cities and towns in France, including Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, Marseilles, Toulouse, Rouen, Reims, Nice, Cannes and St.Tropez.
Whether you enjoy visiting museums and admiring historic architecture, or shopping and eating in excellent restaurants, you’ll find plenty to do in France’s cities and towns. However, in order to get a true taste of France, jump in a rental car and visit some of the attractions outside of the cities.
Paris is famous for landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral and Sacré-Couer, as well as its museums, designer boutiques and restaurants, but you can use a rental car to get to other attractions in the Paris area, such as the Palace of Versailles or Claude Monet’s house, workshop and gardens in the village of Giverny.
If you are using Toulouse as a base for a car rental holiday, you can drive to the world-famous shrine at Lourdes or visit the vineyards of Bergerac, whilst if you’re staying in Marseilles, you can use a rental car to get to Aix-en-Provence, which was the birthplace of the artist Paul Cézanne, or the up-market beach resort of Cannes, home of the Cannes Film Festival.
Car Hire France - Coast, Countryside and Mountains
France is a beautiful country and you can explore it at your own pace in a rental car. If you want a beach holiday, head for the South of France and use your hire car to drive along the Côte d’Azur, stopping off at resorts such as Nice, Cannes, Antibes-Juan les Pins and St.Tropez.
Explore the French countryside by taking a driving tour of the vineyards of the Médoc region or by using your rental car to follow the Mimosa Trail, which stretches from the village of Bormes-les-Mimosa to the French perfume-manufacturing centre of Grasse. You can also drive to one of France’s ski resorts from airports in Geneva or Chambery, such as the neighbouring resorts of Val d’Isere and Tignes in L’Espace Killy, or the Ax Valley in the Pyrénées.
Car Hire France - Driving Tips
There are a few things to bear in mind when on a car hire holiday in France. Drive on the right-hand side of the road and carry your driving licence, V5 vehicle registration document and certificate of insurance in your rental car. You must, by law, wear a seatbelt when travelling in a car and must also carry visibility vests in your hire car.
Speed limits in France vary according to the type of road, so pay attention to the signs when driving your hire car.
