Good to know
You typically have to be at least 21 years old to rent a car in France. Some providers still accept younger drivers — just expect some extra rules or charges. Check the suppliers' terms and conditions before you book.
Planning a trip with the kids? Car seat rules vary depending on where you are, and the best setup may depend on their height, age and weight. Make sure you add the right one to your Alès car hire booking.
You'll be asked for some documents when collecting your car. As a general rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough funds to cover the excess (most companies don't accept debit cards), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will lay out the exact list.
If you're new to driving in France, remember that traffic here sticks to the right side of the road.
Keep within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in built-up areas and 125kph or so on highways, unless signs say otherwise.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in France is 0.05%. Because alcohol doesn't affect all people equally, the only way to be certain you're safe to drive is to skip the drinks.
Try to travel outside high-traffic periods for a faster run in general. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
The euro (EUR) is the currency you'll be using for general expenses and activities. Pay by card when it's convenient, and keep some cash handy when electronic payments aren't accepted.
