What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Europe?
For a smooth, stress-free journey, add Expedia's collision protection to your car rental reservation. This insurance covers your ride against theft, vandalism and collision damage. It also offers 24-hour emergency support in times of need. Opt in to this plan while finalizing your Europe ride with Expedia and save time and money at the rental counter.
Can I drive in Europe with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in France, then you'll likely need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. You should also note that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, 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 vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with your rental car.
