Please note, that in order to rent in France a vehicle with capacity which exceeds 8 passengers, you would need a driving license of the corresponding category.
Minivan dimensions are quite unusual for an ordinary driver, which sometimes leads to appearance of scratches and dents during unsuccessful manoeuvring or parking. Therefore, we encourage you to order full coverage of insurance franchise during your booking, or directly at the rental office in Chamonix.
Before leaving the parking garage in Chamonix, inspect the minivan for exteriour defects and other signs of damage together with the office representative and mark the found defects found in your rental documents.
