But just to give you some indication of costs:   a Peugeot 197 or similar hired for seven days during the last week in September (Saturday to Saturday) will cost in the region of GBP155 (quotation includes collision damage waiver, theft protection, third party liability, VAT, unlimited mileage and airport fees).

In case you haven't driven in France before below are a few guidelines when using your hire car:

• The maximum speed limit is generally 50kph through French villages and towns unless signs show a maximum speed which is often 40kph or just 30kph in small villages.  Remember the speed limit signs are kilometres-per-hour. 
• The speed limit on a dual carriageway is 110 kph  (100 kph when raining or the road is wet) and 90kph on other roads
• There are speed cameras in France which are normally on the perimeter roads of large towns on "D" or "N" roads and a few located on the autoroutes. They are usually well marked with advance warning signs
• Pétrole is not petrol in France, Essence is petrol (normally unleaded 95 or 98 octane). Gazole is diesel: . Super is usually the old leaded 4-star which is usually a lot more expensive than unleaded. Don't be tempted to put Super in newer cars otherwise because it will damage the catalytic-converter. The 24-hour unmanned petrol stations in France are unlikely to accept anything other than a French Visa card (or notes in Euros).
