Tips on Driving a Hire Car in France
Below is a list of some helpful points that should be remembered when driving a car in France:
- Always drive on the right and do not attempt to drink and drive as France has even stricter drink driving laws than the UK
- The minimum age for driving in France is 18 but to hire a car there you must be at least 21 years old and have held a driving licence for one year
- Children under 10 years of age are not allowed to ride in the front of the vehicle
- Children should always be restrained by an appropriate car seat and if they weigh over 15kg children may use a booster seat with an adult seat belt.
- Always carry your driving licence with you. If you do not have a photo card licence, then carry your passport as well to confirm your identity. It is also advisable to carry your rental agreement as proof of insurance.
- Give way to the traffic coming from the right (Priorite a droite) unless a yellow diamond sign indicates you have right of way. Roundabouts are generally exempt from this and priority is given to the traffic already on the roundabout
- Speed and radar traps are commonplace in France and police charge heavy on-the-spot fines Parking restrictions are strongly enforced in France - particularly in towns.
- Keep a look out for areas where you need a “Zone Bleu” sticker to park (usually available at newsagents or the local tourist office).
