The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Valence are: Hyundai Tuscon, Toyota Landcruiser, Suzuki Jimny, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Santa Fe, 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
Yellow marking on a road signifies the presence of parking spaces. Only owners of a special card can park their cars there. Yellow dotted lines added to the border of a pavement indicate that it is possible to make short stops (for picking up and drop-off of passengers) at this part of the road.
In large cities large parking lot can be found near underground stations. The time of use of such parking areas is limited. Drivers are usually permitted to occupy a parking space there for the period from 15 minutes to 2 hours. The time of arrival to the parking lot is recorded in a special ticket, so in case of a late payment driver will have to pay a fine.
It is possible to park a car for a longer term at special underground parking lots. They are usually located near central part of cities. It is worth noting that the tariff for such parking is slightly higher than the tariff for an ordinary one.
