Good to know

  • Typically, you have to be at least 21 years old to rent a vehicle in France. Being younger doesn't always disqualify you — just expect some extra fees or restrictions. Check the suppliers' terms and conditions before booking.

  • If you're travelling with kids, find out if you need to add a car seat to your Vannes car hire booking. Whether local laws require them or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to ride.

  • Come prepared and save time at pick-up. You'll generally need your physical driver's licence (no electronic copies) plus another photo ID. Also bring a credit card that can cover the deposit. If extra requirements apply, your booking will list them.

  • Driving in France might take some adjustment for first-time visitors. Be aware that traffic travels on the right side of the road.

  • Stay within the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in urban areas and 125kph or so on highways, unless signed otherwise.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in France is 0.05%. Since alcohol's effects vary from person to person, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink at all.

  • Aim to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a smoother run. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • You'll be using the euro (EUR) on your trip here. In addition to your debit and credit cards, consider taking some cash for minor purchases.
