Cheap Budget Car Rental Deals at Port-Royal, Paris

Ensure you know the rental office's hours to avoid arriving when they're not open.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

If you don’t find what you need at Port-Royal with Budget, you might discover more car rental options in Paris, which can occasionally be cheaper. However, keep in mind that the additional cost of transferring from Airport to Paris might result in higher overall expenses compared to picking up your rental car directly at the airport.

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

Be aware that some rental companies impose age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Make sure to check the company’s age policy when booking.

Before returning the vehicle, clarify the return procedures with the rental company. Knowing where to drop off the car and any required inspections can streamline the process.

When selecting insurance, consider whether it includes free excess coverage. Free excess means you won’t pay a deductible in case of damage, providing additional peace of mind. Compare options to find the best fit for your needs.

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.
