Sage Advice for Renting Cars in Paris

A trip to Paris is one of the most common travelling goals for people around the world. However, how do you get around and visit other parts of Europe while you are there? The simple answer is a rental car. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when renting a car in Paris, France.

•While in Paris, hiring a rental car, dealing with the enormous city’s traffic, and finding parking spaces will not only be difficult, but can also put unnecessary strain on your pocket book. Paris has great public transportation that will get you anywhere you want to go, so renting a car is not required.

•We recommend tourists who are not familiar with driving in larger cities like Paris take public transit to the outskirts of the city when they wish to travel further afar in Europe. Rent a car from there, and have a great trip.

•If you are fine driving in Paris and will be leaving through the airport when you return from your driving trip, we recommend hiring a rental car from the airport so you do not have to travel through the city using public transit while carrying your luggage.
