  • Always check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Vannes car hire policy, whether with Rentscape or any other supplier. Some companies treat it as an optional extra instead of bundling it in.

  • Booking one-way could land you a discount on your rental. Providers sometimes offer lower prices when vehicles need to be moved around. Simply choose 'Return car to a different location' when searching the cars for rent in Vannes.

  • Cut down on fuel costs by choosing a vehicle that offers a 'Fair fuel policy.' You pick up the car with a full tank and bring it back full, so you only pay for what you use.

  • Medium: Not too small, not too big, this is the Goldilocks of rentals! Typically including compact and intermediate cars, they offer a mix of fuel efficiency and interior space and are good for small families and couples.

  • Large: Long drives fly by in this Vannes car hire category. Also known as full-size, they're built with bigger engines for better driving. The extra space and comfort make them a great option for groups of friends and families.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Adding excess insurance to your Vannes car hire gives you peace of mind. It protects you from paying a hefty excess fee in case of a collision or theft. Insurance policies can vary between rental providers, so always compare your options.

  • Make life easier when you rent a car in Vannes by adding some nifty extras. Think things like a navigation system to make wrong turns a thing of the past, or reverse cameras that'll help you park like a pro.

Good to know

  • To rent a vehicle in France, you usually have to be at least 21 years old. Some locations may allow younger drivers to rent vehicles for an additional fee, so always check the policies before locking in your reservation.

  • If you're bringing the kids along, find out if you need to add a child car seat to your Vannes car hire booking. Whether a legal requirement or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to travel.

  • You'll likely be asked for these three things when picking up your rental car: a current driver's licence, extra photo ID, and a credit card that can cover the security deposit. Debit cards are generally not accepted. Any additional requirements will be listed in your booking.

  • Driving in France may take some getting used to if it's your first time. Keep in mind you'll need to stick to the right side of the road.

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

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in France is 0.05%. Because alcohol affects everyone differently, the only way to be sure you're safe to drive is to avoid drinking.

  • Around 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination. Try to avoid rush hours if you want a smoother run.

  • You'll be using the euro (EUR) for all your purchases here. You may find it helpful to carry a mix of cash and cards to cover you in every situation.

  • French is the language you'll hear most people speak in this country.
