national car

France has a well established network of motorways and dual carriageways that make it easy to get around the country, with regular rest stops and good facilities throughout. As such, the overall road and driving conditions in France offer a combination of experiences for those renting a car, from typical city centre traffic conditions to scenic routes through the French countryside.

City Driving

  • Driving in city centres can, at times, be quite daunting, especially during the rush hour

Travel tips

In built up areas drivers must give way to vehicles coming out of a side turning on the right - this is a basic rule in France if there’s no stop or yield.
