Renting a car in France is quite easy. There are rental places in practically every town and city and, in many places, you can have the car rental delivered to you. Check the regions of France for a car rental location in the area where you wish to holiday.

Blood alcohol levels are enforced stricter in France (as in many EU countries) than they are in much of the rest of the world (0.5 mg/ml rather than 0.8 as is normal elsewhere). In short, don't drink and drive. This is good advice anywhere in the world.

Also, seat belts front and rear are required for all passengers.

Cautions and Alerts:

• The French do love their Radar guns so expect them to be hiding around every corner.

• Keep in mind, when the roads are wet, the speed limit is automatically reduced.

• In France, anyone caught travelling at more than 25km/h above the speed limit can have their license confiscated on the spot.

• Also be aware that urban speed limits begin at the town or city sign, usually denoted by a white name panel with a red border, and the limit ends where the name panel has a diagonal black bar through it.
