Tips For Renting a Car in Paris
Using a rental car is the best way to get around Paris. It can be faster than public transportation and it gives you the freedom to explore the city at your own pace. If you are flying in to Paris, you may be able to rent a car at the airport.
- For the best deal, you should shop around. Some companies offer the same model car but at a lower price. Some companies even offer a free inspection before delivery.
- You may not be able to drive your own car in Paris but you can rent a limousine or mini-bus. It's also possible to rent a SUV, sedan, or sports car.
- You can rent a car for as little as EUR 35 per day with a private individual. Some rental companies offer packages with entrance to various sights, meals, and other perks. These packages are a good way to save money over booking accommodation and a car.
For a complete tour of the city, you'll need at least 5 days. You can choose to rent a car during the first day or you can pick it up when you leave the city. It's important to keep in mind that traffic is notoriously bad in Paris. If you're uninformed about the city's traffic rules, you might get stuck in a traffic jam.
It's a good idea to learn about Paris' driving etiquette. You'll need to give way to other cars when making a left turn and leave some room for other cars, especially motorcycles. The metro is also a good way to travel in and around the city.
Popular Places to Visit in Paris
Visiting Paris is a great way to experience the world's capital for fashion, art, culture, and cuisine. The city is a major European center, and you will find plenty of designer boutiques, cafe culture, and wide boulevards to explore. The River Seine crisscrosses the city, and there are 19th-century cityscapes to explore as well.
Bibliotheque-Musee de l'Opera
Located in the historic Palais Garnier, the Bibliotheque-Musee de l'Opera National de Paris is a museum that traces the history of opera in Paris. At first, the museum contained souvenirs of opera performers. Over time, the museum expanded to include more than 500 paintings, stage jewelry and other artifacts related to opera. The museum has also acquired 2,500 scale model mock-ups of stage sets.
The Opera Library and Museum is housed in the Palais Garnier and contains archived materials from three centuries. The museum also holds materials related to dance and lyrical theatre. It has been affiliated with the National Library Music Department since 1942.
Parc des Buttes-Chaumont
Located in northeastern Paris, Parc des Buttes-Chaumont is one of the most popular places to visit in Paris. It's located near the city's famous Butte de Montmartre. It's a small, romantic park with plenty of green space and views. It's also home to a Roman-style monument and a temple.
The park is home to a number of features, including a lake, waterfalls, caves and a grotto. The temple is perched on a rocky cliff and offers a spectacular view of Sacre Coeur. The Temple de la Sibylle was designed by Gabriel Davioud and was inspired by the Temple of Vesta at Tivoli.
Arc de Triomphe
Located on the western end of the Champs-Elysées, the Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile is one of the most famous monuments in Paris. This Neoclassical take on the ancient Roman triumphal arch style is a symbol of valour to the people of France.
This structure was constructed between 1806 and 1836 and was designed by Jean-Francois Chalgrin. He took inspiration from the Arch of Titus in the Roman Forum. His plan for the Arc de Triomphe was to create a monument that would honor all of the soldiers of the Grande Armee.
Place de la Concorde
Located between the Tuileries Garden and the Champs-Elysees, the Place de la Concorde is one of the largest and most popular squares in Paris. It is a bustling area at all times of the day and is the ideal location to visit for a photo opportunity. Place de la Concorde is best accessed on foot.
Place de la Concorde is located along the River Seine, and is also bordered by the grand boulevard of the Champs-Elysees. Place de la Concorde is known for its fountains. The fountain on the square represents fish, shells, coral, harvest commerce, and the maritime spirit of France.
Eglise Saint-Louis des Invalides
Located in the 1st arrondissement of Paris, Eglise Saint-Louis des Invalides feels like a secret retreat. It is the only church in Paris where you can visit the tomb of Napoleon Bonaparte. His tomb is under the towering cupola of the Eglise du Dome. The tomb has numerous statues and paintings.
The Eglise du Dome des Invalides is a beautiful example of French classical-style ecclesastical architecture. It was built as Napoleon's tomb in 1861. It is considered one of the most impressive military history museums in the world.
Pantheon
Located in the Latin Quarter of Paris, Pantheon is one of the most famous monuments in Paris. The building was first used as a church and has since then been turned into a mausoleum for famous French citizens.
The Pantheon's interior is a vast space with ornate walls and floors. It also contains a crypt. Inside, tourists can visit the tombs of some of the greatest French writers and philosophers.
The monument was designed by Jacques-Germain Soufflot, who wanted to merge the lightness of Gothic architecture with classical principles. The Pantheon is 110 meters long and 84 meters wide. Its dome weighs about 17,000 tons.

Frequent Questions and Answers
When it comes to car rental costs, Paris is generally competitive. The price normally depends on several factors, including the time of year, the length of your trip, and the sort of vehicle you wish to rent.
There is always an increase in demand for automobile rentals in Paris during the summer months, which drives up the prices. During the off-season, particularly the winter, the prices are significantly lower. The duration of your rental also affects the total price. Typically, renting a vehicle for a longer period of time results in a lower daily rate, thus a five-day rental may cost only somewhat more than a three-day rental. If possible, consider spending at least a week exploring Paris.
Third-party liability insurance is mandatory in Paris for any car rental. This is typically offered at no extra cost with most rental car agencies.
You should consider getting a CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) and theft insurance, although it's not required. If you want to upgrade your coverage, the ideal time to do so is when you first make your reservation.
Purchase insurance while booking your car:
The freedom to see sights at your own pace and on your own timetable is a major perk of having a rental car while on vacation. It's nice to be able to schedule your travel whenever you'd like, whether that's at the crack of dawn or after midnight to avoid crowded bus or train times.
You can rent almost any kind of car in Paris, from small, cheap cars to high-end ones. Here are some things you might want to think about:
A size of the car: A bigger car may be more comfortable on the highway, but many beautiful villages in Paris have narrow streets. Parking garages are often small, and getting in and out of them can be a nightmare. Fiat Panda is the most well-liked model among economy classes in Paris. From EUROPCAR the daily rate for this vehicle begins at 14$. For those who want some extra comfort and have the appropriate budget, EAST COAST is ready to offer a Business-class model - Mercedes E, price starts at 51$ per day.
Most rental cars in Paris are manual, but more and more automatic cars are becoming available. Automatic cars usually cost more to rent, and if your license only lets you drive an automatic car, you won't be able to rent a stick shift car.
The most likely model is displayed on both the search result page and on your voucher. Despite this, the automobile class is always reserved at all rental car firms because doing so is required by international rules regulating car rentals. When you get to the office, you'll be given the opportunity to select the make and model of the car you want to drive. The following is an explanation of the many classifications of cars:
On the other hand, there are some circumstances in which you will be able to reserve a specific model. In the event that such a feature can be selected, a distinct notation will be displayed next to the automobile in the list of search results.
When you pick up the vehicle, the same card must be used to guarantee the rental agreement. There are two card kinds we accept:
- We will accept a credit card as a guarantee.
- We will accept a debit card if purchase our Platinum Insurance plan for the duration of your rental period.
Just bear in mind that the cardholder/renter and any additional drivers must sign the rental agreement in person at the time of pick-up.
