Why is car rental so expensive in France?


Why is car rental so expensive in France? Car prices in France are much higher during the peak tourist season, and cars are scarcer then. Prices may also climb during French holidays, around Christmas, or in summer.


Can you turn right on red in France?

There is no “right turn on red” in France. A yellow flashing arrow means that you can drive in the arrow's direction, with caution, even though the other lights may be red. Headlights are mandatory when it is raining. On multi-lane roads and highways, slower traffic always stays to the right.


How do I pay tolls on a rental car in France?

Any driver can pay for tolls by credit, debit card or cash (for manned toll roads). Across the country, most tolls are now automated and unmanned – however, on the larger, busier autoroutes, some continue to provide manned booths.
