Which car to choose<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re staying close to the coast, a small car will make parking easier.<br\/>If you&#8217;re heading for the mountains, don&#8217;t take the smallest cars, as they&#8217;ll lack power.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/n-rGbRdb\/Conduire\/i-ss5p5WX\/0\/afadd0e4\/L\/Procence_voiture_location-L.jpg\" alt=\"Car on scenic road\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">One of our rental cars in Provence<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Which rental company to choose<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our advice is to choose rental companies with a rating above 7.8 (our price\/service quality limit).<br\/>There&#8217;s no one agency that really stands out in the region.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Decide on platform insurance<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have used the platform&#8217;s insurance several times and everything has gone smoothly.<br\/>Advantage: less expensive than the rental company&#8217;s, efficient for reimbursements<br\/>Disadvantage: an amount will be blocked on your credit card for the duration of the rental, so the rental company will still try to get you to buy theirs.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Check the car<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whatever the country, always check the car before you leave and take photos of any damage (including the roof and under the bumpers) &#8211; checklist below.<br\/>You should also check out the options for paying tolls.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/france?a_aid=zigzag&amp;chan=PL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Find the best offers<\/a><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/Aix-en-Provence\/n-LNWMRN\/Gare-TGV\/i-rjKNVTp\/0\/37717e97\/L\/Aix_provence_TGV_gare_loueurs_voitures-L.jpg\" alt=\"Choosing a car rental company\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Based on our local experience, we detail the process for collecting your car below, followed by all our advice based on over 20 years of car rentals worldwide.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it worth renting a car in Provence?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It all depends on what you plan to do during your stay.<br\/>Here are the two different cases:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you&#8217;re only staying in one of the big cities to visit all its museums, enjoy its beaches and explore the city, don&#8217;t bother with a car.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>But if you want to explore the beautiful region, visit villages, get out of town, you absolutely need a car.

Be sure to read the conditions.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Permits<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be authorized to drive in France (on vacation \/ short trip), you can use a standard international driving license. This means a permit that has :<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a license number,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a photograph,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a validity date,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>and is written in Latin letters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this case, you don&#8217;t need an international permit.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/n-rGbRdb\/Conduire\/i-rGMcFBs\/0\/b8e3b9a0\/M\/location-voiture-permis-conduire-France-M.jpg\" alt=\"French driving license\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Credit card<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you take out comprehensive insurance directly with the rental company, no need to worry about the card.<br\/>However, if you use another type of insurance, a deposit must be paid at the start of the rental period. For this reason, some rental companies insist on a credit card and refuse debit cards. Make sure this isn&#8217;t a problem for you (and also for the deposit amount, which is blocked on your card and counts towards your payment limit).<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Checking the car<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you take out comprehensive insurance directly with the rental company, remember to take a good look around the car before you leave, and to take photographs. If the parking lot is dark, use your phone&#8217;s flashlight.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Things to look for:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Check the entire exterior of the car for dents and scratches.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don&#8217;t forget to check the roof!

We don&#8217;t have any specific names to give you, or to avoid. All has gone well with those we&#8217;ve tested so far.<br\/>To help you choose, we recommend the following criteria:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the type of car available<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the price<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>cancellation conditions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>authorized mileage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>pick-up location &#8211; some require a shuttle to reach the rental location<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discovercars ratings (above 7.8 shouldn&#8217;t be a problem)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>comments on the Internet: beware, only people who have problems tell us about them. The 98% of people who had no problems didn&#8217;t take the time to write that everything went well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which car to choose?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To begin with, most cars in France are manual. If you want an automatic, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/france?a_aid=zigzag&amp;chan=PL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">remember to book<\/a> early.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then it depends on your program and how many people you are:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>For two people staying on the C\u00f4te d&#8217;Azur, we recommend a very small car to make parking easier.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you&#8217;re heading further inland, choose a slightly larger car to give you more power for the mountain climbs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And if you&#8217;re bringing the whole family, choose the right size to fit them all in, as well as your suitcases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There&#8217;s no need for a 4WD<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Provence-Lovers\/n-rGbRdb\/Conduire\/i-MfH8Dwt\/0\/5c00b254\/L\/Provence_conduire-L.jpg\" alt=\"mountain road in Provence\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much does it cost to rent a car in Provence?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Car rental prices in Provence depend on the time of year, the type of car, the conditions taken, and how far in advance you rent.<br\/>Prices are highest in summer, averaging around 80 euros a day (if booked well in advance).<br\/>In November and January, prices fall by around 50 euros on average.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/france?a_aid=zigzag&amp;chan=PL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">See the best offers on our preferred platform<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What insurance should I take out? We&#8217;ve tested it all!<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The question of insurance is not easy to explain. But here are a few things you should know:<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The minimum insurance requirements for driving in France are included in the rental price.<br\/>All we&#8217;re offering is a way of reducing the cost in case you damage the car (which is already limited to a certain sum).<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Option 1 &#8211; Use your credit card insurance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start by checking whether your credit card includes car rental insurance. But be sure to read all the fine print, as it often contains very precise criteria and limits. Among other things, there are limits on rental periods.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Option 2 &#8211; Rental platform insurance<\/strong> \/ or specialized insurance platforms<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you go through one of the platforms, they offer insurance.<br\/><strong>Advantage<\/strong>: a very attractive price, many things are covered, fast refunds (we used it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/france?a_aid=zigzag&amp;chan=PL\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">Discovercars<\/a> and the refund was made within 7 days).<br\/><strong>Disadvantage<\/strong>: the rental company will still block the deposit on your card, insist that you take out their insurance (be careful not to double up), deduct the amount from your deposit, and you will be reimbursed by the platform when you send in the paperwork.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Option 3 &#8211; Rental company&#8217;s on-site insurance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Advantage<\/strong>: no deposit to block, no photos to take<br\/><strong>Disadvantage<\/strong>: much higher price<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/Normandie-Lovers\/Tips\/i-Sft7GDQ\/0\/4b5de51f\/L\/Voiture_abimee-L.jpg\" alt=\"Damage to rental car\"\/><\/figure>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Scams<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are not aware of any particular scams in Provence.
