Driving Tips for Paris

Book Your Car Hire in Paris Today

Before you book car rental in Paris, here are a few things to bear in mind:

Get a Crit'Air sticker: When you rent a car in Paris, ask our agents about getting a low-emissions car and a Crit'Air sticker. This allows you to drive in the city's restricted access zones within the A86 motorway perimeter, where many of the best attractions are.
Hire an automatic: You'll be driving on the right in Paris, so make it easier on yourself by hiring an automatic vehicle. Then you won't have to get used to changing gear with your unfamiliar hand.
Overtaking trams: Remember that you may only overtake moving trams on the right. However, if you're on a one-way street and there's more room on the left, you may use that side.
No hooting at night: You're only allowed to flash your lights to warn other cars on the road between sunset and sunrise. Hooting is only permitted in built-up areas in absolute emergencies.
Parking: When driving in Paris, be prepared for limited street parking, especially in the city centre. Opt for underground car parks (signposted as "P") for safer and more reliable options.
Refueling: For refuelling, petrol stations can often be found on the outskirts of the city or along major motorways—most accept debit and credit cards for convenience.

Best Places to Visit in and Around Paris

Hire a car in Paris and Start Your Journey

Car hire in Paris frees you to explore the city at your leisure, and visit lesser-known attractions:

Historic artistic graffiti: Once you've seen the big attractions like the Eiffel Tower and so on, close to the Louvre you'll find Le Squat du 59 Rue de Rivoli. It used to be a squat for graffiti artists, until being declared a museum in 1999. Paid on-street parking is available right there
Parc des Buttes-Chaumont: Only a stone's throw from the busy urban streets, here you can picnic among waterfalls and go hiking. In the Canal Saint-Martin district, the viewing point offers a different perspective on Paris. You can use the covered parking at nearby Garage Saint-Georges.
Domaine de Chantilly: Take about a 30-min road trip to this magnificent estate and mansion. It has a huge collection of historical ornaments and paintings.

And if you're only on a long weekend visit, here's some inspiration for a quick three-day trip to Paris.
