The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Montpellier 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
There are crossroads with circular movement close to numerous major squares. When entering a circle, do not forget that you should give way to drivers who make a maneuver in the right. Such a maneuver may seem to be quite complex to inexperienced drivers, so there are the so-called bypass “roads for cowards” close to major squares. One of them is located in Paris – it is located next to Place Charles de Gaulle.
There is a “main road” in all small towns located near the national road. In addition to the corresponding sign, the entrance to this road may be indicated by either a solid line ("stop"), or a line of triangles ("give way").
Drivers, who plan to travel in suburban areas a lot and want to make rides from one city to another, are recommended to install a GPS-navigator in their cars. The reason for this is the fact that even on large highways important signs may not be present in the right place.
