The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Nimes 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
Highways have a huge number of radars that trace speeding accurately. The presence of cameras is not marked and drivers are not alerted about them, so you should be especially careful and try not to exceed the speed limit.
According to the current rules, car drivers and bikers must always carry a disposable breathalyzer. It is prohibited to refuse to pass the test. This will inevitably lead to a heavy fine and disqualification.
If the content of alcohol in blood is from 0.5 ‰ to 0.8 ‰, the violator will be issued a fine of 135 euro. If the result of the breathalyzer exceeds 0.8 ‰, the violator can be fined up to 4,500 euro and can lose his driving license for a period of up to three years. If a drunk driver became a participant of an accident, he is likely to go to prison.
