What insurance should I choose for my car rental in La Rochelle?
After perfectly planning your escape, don't scrimp on your insurance — purchase collision protection while reserving your La Rochelle rental car with Expedia.

Plus, with a zero-dollar deductible and 24-hour emergency assistance, you can breathe a little easier should the unexpected occur.
Can I drive in La Rochelle with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in France, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. It's also important to note that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to 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 you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with your rental car.
