$44 Car Rental Paris City Center

Paris City Center is full of surprises, but don't restrict yourself to only one place. Grab a set of wheels and head off to explore the wider region. Here are some ideas:

• Le Mans is around 110 miles from Paris City Center. Renowned tourist attractions like Circuit de la Sarthe should be high on your list here.
• Roughly 80 miles away, Reims is also a hit with wanderers. Make time to take in Notre-Dame de Reims while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love visiting this buzzing city.
• Omaha Beach is approximately 150 miles from Paris City Center and is one of the region's most beautiful nature spots. Go for a walk around and enjoy the fresh air.

If you don't possess a driver's license issued in France, then it's likely you'll need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. It's also important to note that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

• Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most places to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of cars you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before getting behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with your rental car.
