Traffic Rules and Driving Tips

• Like all mainland European countries, vehicles in France drive on the right-hand side of the road. This means that your rental car will be somewhat different to an Irish model, as the steering wheel is on the left-hand side and the gearbox is on the right.
• Driving whilst under the influence of alcohol is illegal as well as being extremely unsafe. Auto Europe strongly recommends against drink-driving. The BAC or Blood Alcohol Content limit in France is 0.05 for regular driver licence holders. The limit is 0,2% for beginners who have held their licence for less than two years.
• The use of a mobile phone whilst driving is both illegal and advised against. Auto Europe recommends the use of a hands-free kit for taking calls for when you are driving.
• It is important that the driver and passengers wear a seatbelt when the car is in motion.
• Both the driver and the passengers must wear their seatbelts at all times while the car is in motion. This is strongly advised for passenger safety.
• Petrol stations are available in all major cities, and most of them are open 24 hours a day.

Road Tolls

Motorways in France are called "autoroutes" and most often you will have to pay to use them. Using the motorway isn´t too difficult. You are given a ticket at the entry gate and, depending on how far you´ve travelled, you will pay your toll at the exit gate.

Age Restrictions

In order to book a car hire in France, you will need to be at least 18 years of age, however it may depend on which rental company you use. "Young driver fees" may apply if you are 24 years old or younger.
