Requirements for Hiring a Vehicle

To legally hire and drive a vehicle in France, the following are generally required:

• Minimum Age: The driver must be over 21 years old, although some agencies and vehicle categories may require a minimum age of 25. Young drivers (typically under 25) may be subject to an additional daily fee.
• Valid Driving Licence: A valid driving licence from the country of origin must be presented, held for at least one year.
• International Driving Permit (IDP): If the licence is not issued in the Latin alphabet (e.g. Chinese, Japanese, Arabic) or is not from an EU/EEA country, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is strongly recommended or may be required as a certified translation.
• Credit Card: A credit card in the main driver’s name is essential for the security deposit or guarantee. Debit cards or cash are generally not accepted for this purpose.
