Detailed FAQ on the rental process

Driving Advices for France – Traffic Regulations and Road Usage Peculiarities

If you decide to neglect the local rules and, having overtaken a car, stay on the left lane, one of local drivers will definitely want to "punish the offender". An angered local driver can drive behind on a dangerously close distance and will haunt the offender’s car until he goes back to the right lane.

Quite an unusual fact - even in large cities there are a lot of streets with one-way traffic. This fact should be definitely taken into consideration, when making the route of your future ride.

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.

One of them is located in Paris – it is located next to Place Charles de Gaulle.
