The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Limoges are: BMW X3, Toyota Rav4, Kia Sportage, Toyota Landcruiser, BMW X5, Hyundai Santa Fe 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
Tourists, who want to travel with children, should take into account a special rule that concerns the transportation of children weighing less than 13 kg. Besides the fact that they can travel only in special child seats, these seats have to be installed with their back in direction of the motion. The non-compliance of this rule will result in a fine of 135 euro.
A fine of up to 135 euro can be paid directly to a police officer. You must receive a receipt in this case. Violators, who pay a fine in the following 15 days after the fine’s issue, will get substantial “discount. If you delay the payment for more than 45 days, the fine will be increased in several times.
Note that “discounts” for fines are applied not to all traffic regulation violations, but only in case the fine was issued for a minor violation, such as a small speeding. Drivers must never forget to pay off all fines. A delay will inevitably lead to litigation and, as a result, to even greater financial penalties.
