A car rental in France is the ideal way to tour this beautiful nation. With its decadent food and rich history, it's no wonder that France is the most visited country in the world. Renting a car in France will invite you and other independent travelers to zip from the small cafes of Paris to the sun-drenched countryside of Bordeaux. Are you inspired to pick up? Pick up a car at Gare de Nice-Ville on the French Riviera, where pristine beaches stretch along the Mediterranean coast as if inviting you to play. The French landscape is dotted with castles and monuments that speak to the country's rich history, and whether you plan to tour the Atlantic coast or cruise through the French Alps, a rental car in France will allow you to chart your course and explore at a pace that suits you.
A French car rental is your ticket to explore some of the most historic cities in the world. Enjoy a fine wine? Spend a week in the Loire Valley or Bordeaux - one of the world's premier wine-making regions where succulent French cuisine prepared by world-renowned chefs will be paired with the best local vintages. While France's capital is lovely, we invite you to look beyond Paris and discover nearby Versailles or Nice, where the famed Château de Versailles and surrounding gardens invite a sense of exploration and discovery. From the port of Calais in the North to Saint-Tropez, a seaside gem in the south - France offers something for everyone. Our France travel guide will help you make the perfect itinerary for your time in France.
