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
If the visibility on the road is less than 50 meters, then drivers are obliged to move at a speed of no more than 50 km/h, regardless of the type and characteristics of the road. There is also a speed limit for vehicles equipped with winter tires - no more than 90 km/h.
Drivers should not forget that there is also a concept of minimum speed on highways. Moving slower than 80 km/h is prohibited unless there is the influence of some external factors (the presence of adverse weather conditions or congestion).
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.
