Car rental at the Paris–Le Bourget Airport

Discover the freedom of the open road with an array of car rental stations available at the airport. Choose from a range of reputable providers such as Europcar, Sixt, and Hertz, offering rentals to cater to all needs and budgets.

Recommended Car Classes

We recommend opting for a compact car or hatchback for easy city driving. However, those planning to explore the countryside may feel more comfortable in a larger sedan or SUV.

Fueling Your Adventure

Before setting off, fill up at one of the local petrol stations, conveniently located near the airport. Remember, petrol stations in France are self-service and operate using card payments, which can be a change from UK customs.

Driving on the Right

A key point to remember for UK drivers is that in France, they drive on the right-hand side of the road, opposite to UK roads. Take your time to adjust and be cautious, especially when making turns. In the roundabouts, the cars in the inner circle have the right of way.

Local Currency and Climate

The local currency is the Euro (€), so you'll need to exchange your British Pounds (£) before or upon your arrival. As for the climate, Paris experiences a mild and moderately wet climate, so prepare for a bit of everything weather-wise!

Accessibility and Connections

The airport is perfectly situated for easy access to Paris and surrounding cities, with excellent road networks. For non-drivers, the Parisian public transport system is extensive and efficient, but be prepared for busy rush hours.

Castles, Boulangeries, and Beyond

From the glamorous city lights of Paris to the fairy-tale castles of the Loire Valley, your road trip adventure starts here. So, sit back, enjoy your favourite French croissant, and embark on a journey of a lifetime.
