Good to know
Typically, you have to be at least 21 years old to rent a car in France. Being younger doesn't always disqualify you — just expect some extra rules or charges. Check the companies' terms and conditions before booking.
Add a car seat to your Valbonne car hire booking if you're bringing the kids. Rules vary from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their age, size and weight is always the safest option.
You'll need to show some documents when you get to the rental desk. As a general rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with enough balance for the excess (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will tell you exactly what you need.
Spend a moment familiarising yourself with your rental. Fix your seat and mirrors, learn where everything is, and get a feel for its handling before you drive away. And don't forget to stay on the right side of the road in France.
Stay within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in built-up areas and 125kph or so on highways, unless signed otherwise.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in France is 0.05%. Because alcohol doesn't affect all people equally, the surest choice is to avoid drinks so you remain legal to drive.
Try to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a smoother trip. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
You'll be using the euro (EUR) here. As well as your bank cards, consider having some cash handy for minor purchases.
The language most commonly spoken in this country is French.
