Whether you're new to Paris or have been several times, no two trips to the French Capital are ever the same. With so many attractions in one place it can be difficult to know where to start, but with car hire in Paris you will surely get to see all of the sights.
Nothing in Paris quite matches a trip to the top of the Eiffel Tower. Hire a car and take a trip there, then head to one of the main viewing platforms at the top of the tower and enjoy unrivalled views across this bohemian paradise. Art lovers are well catered for, with La Louvre, the most famous of Paris' many galleries highly recommended.
With so much to explore, hiring a car in Paris can be a great way to see the city. If the weather is on your side, a trip to the artist's haven of Monmatre is a great way to experience the Parisian lifestyle. Sit outside and enjoy a coffee whilst you admire the caricaturists drawing passers-by.
When you've had your coffee, make the short walk to Sacre-Coeur Basilica and marvel in this Italian inspired Roman Catholic wonder. Finished in 1919, Sacre-Coeur not only offers stunning architecture, but also fantastic views out over the city.

Rental Qualifications and RequirementsClick here for more information
I’ve rented cars here 5 or 6 times. The lines can be long (an hour or more wait) but eventually you can get your reserved car. The staff are relatively attentive and helpful but on weekends in the summer they only staff one agent thus it’s a long wait. Best to arrive in the morning when they first open!

Opened on time on a Saturday and had our car ready. Not too much fuss to get us in our way. They did not acknowledge any Gold Club benefits, which is disappointing. Something for Hertz to work on. Convenient to both bus and metro stops. Not hard to find.

Petrol / Diesel vehicles:
If you refill the fuel tank, please do so within 15km of where you return the vehicle, and keep your receipt as you will need to present it to our team.
If you do not take our Fuel Purchase Option (FPO) – see Fuel Policy for details - and do not return the vehicle with a full tank of fuel, we will fill the tank for you and charge you for the costs we incur and the service we provide in doing so. Our costs include purchasing, storing and managing our own fuel supplies, or refilling the tank off site, plus manpower and administration costs. Our service, of course, saves you from taking the time to find a local fuel station and refilling the vehicle yourself. The refuelling charge for your rental will be calculated as follows:
We will show the actual cost of refuelling on your rental agreement when you pick up your vehicle.
Electric vehicles:
Hertz will record the vehicle battery charge at the start of the rental. Failure to return the vehicle in the same state of charge as at pick-up will result in a recharging fee per missing kWh.
