The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Corsica are: BMW X3, BMW X5, Toyota Rav4, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sportage, Suzuki Jimny and others.
While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in France ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in France are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.

Common questions on rental process
Road tolls should be paid in special kiosks that are located at the entrance or exit of a toll road. Drivers are also welcome to use special machines. Payments can be made either in cash or by a credit card.
Despite a huge number of cars, traffic jams are rather rare on local roads, even in large cities. As a rule, traffic is slow on weekdays from 7:30 to 9:00 and from 17:30 to 19:30. On Friday evening traffic jams can appear a little earlier.
When entering a paid section of a road, do not forget to pay a particular attention to the special scoreboard as it indicates the amount of the toll. Drivers should also keep in mind that in different parts of the country toll roads are managed by different companies.
