How far will it really go on one charge?
Plan on 450 to 550 km at motorway speed in summer, and around 20% less in winter cold. Every route we plan assumes the lower figure.
Where do I charge, and who pays?
On the autoroute fast-charging network, and at most hotels we deliver to. The charge card in the car bills at cost to the card on your booking, with no mark-up.
Can I drive into Italy, Switzerland or Monaco?
Yes. Belgium, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Monaco, Italy and Spain are covered at no extra cost if you tell us when you book. The car must come back to a French branch.
What does the one-way fee cover?
Bringing the car back to its home branch: €120 to €290, depending on the route. Some weeks we need cars moved north or south, and those routes carry no fee.
Who can drive?
Drivers aged 25 or over who have held a full licence for three years. Up to two additional drivers are free, if they meet the same rules.
What if my plans change?
Cancel free of charge up to 48 hours before collection. Inside 48 hours we charge one day's hire. Dates and branches can be changed at no cost, subject to availability.
