Good to know
Usually, you have to be at least 21 years old to rent a vehicle in France. Younger drivers aren't always turned away — just be prepared for extra fees or rules. Check the companies' terms and conditions before you book.
Add a car seat to your Lorient car hire booking if you're bringing the kids. Regulations change from one place to another, but using a child seat suited to their age and size is always the safest way to travel.
You'll be asked for some documents when you pick up your ride. As a rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with enough balance for the excess (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will confirm exactly what's required.
Driving in France may take some getting used to if it's your first time. Don't forget all vehicles travel on 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 road signs indicate differently.
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.
Try to travel outside high-traffic periods for a faster run. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
The euro (EUR) is the currency you'll be using for day-to-day purchases and activities. Pay with a debit or credit card when you can, and keep some cash handy when electronic payments aren't an option.
