10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Paris

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for the summer months, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise the filters on Expedia to help you identify the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it is advisable to secure your car well in advance of your trip. Booking early often allows you to obtain lower rates and ensures better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may incur higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or premium models—may not be accessible. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements necessitate a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel alternatives, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: There is often a surcharge for collecting your rental car from airports, though it may be worth it for the added convenience.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies primarily accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you sidestep unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in case of any unforeseen events during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is straightforward when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning extended road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is required to rent a vehicle.

Some outlets will apply a surcharge to young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
Can I drive in Paris with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., know that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with a rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
