The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Metz are: BMW X5, Hyundai Santa Fe, Suzuki Jimny, Hyundai Tuscon, BMW X3, Toyota Rav4 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
In cities drivers should pay a special attention to local cyclists. Sometimes it may seem that they have absolutely no "instinct of self-preservation". Drivers of the “two-wheeled transport” can move leisurely in the center of a busy road and easy to speak on the phone. Honking and complaining in such a situation is not accepted.
Motorcycles are particularly dangerous during traffic jams. They can easily ride between the rows of cars at a high speed. When driving on a highway, do not forget to look to the side view mirrors.
It is better to move slowly close to parked cars. Once they’ve parked their cars, some local drivers can open the car’s doors without even paying attention to other road users. Typically, representatives of the fair sex are distinguished by such carelessness.
