Good to know
Typically, you have to be at least 21 years old to rent a car in France. Being younger doesn't always disqualify you — just be prepared for extra fees or rules. Check the suppliers' terms and conditions before you book.
Kids coming with you? Child car seat laws vary by location, and the right setup may depend on their height, age and weight. Make sure you add the right one to your Montluçon car hire booking.
Come prepared to avoid delays at pick-up. You'll typically need your physical driver's licence (not a screenshot or digital version) and another form of photo ID. Bring a credit card with enough balance for the deposit too. If extra documents are required, they'll be listed in your booking.
If you're new to driving in France, don't forget that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.
Make sure you follow the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 45kph in built-up areas and 125kph or so on highways, unless signed otherwise.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in France is 0.05%. Because alcohol affects each person differently, the only way to be certain you're safe to drive is to skip the drinks.
Try to travel outside high-traffic periods for a smoother run in general. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
You'll be using the euro (EUR) here. In addition to your bank cards, consider bringing some cash for minor purchases.
French is the language you'll hear most people speaking in this country.
