Car hire FAQs

Find answers to frequently asked questions about car hires in Nantes, including policies, requirements, and more. FAQs were last updated on 19 March 2024.
  • What are the requirements to hire a car in Nantes?

    If you're planning on choosing a car hire in Nantes to explore the city, there are several requirements you'll need to meet before a company will let you take the car. The minimum age for car hire in Nantes is between 21 and 25 years old, depending on the company involved. If you're able to hire a car in Nantes and you're under 25, expect to incur an additional surcharge as a young driver. When arriving to pick up your car hire, you'll need a credit card with your name on it, a passport or other form of photo ID and a valid driving licence that you've held for at least one year. If your driving licence isn't printed in Latin characters, you'll need to have an International Driving Permit. Keep in mind, if you've booked your cheap car hire online, you'll need to bring the same credit card and the card owner must be present.

  • What are the rules for driving in Nantes?

    To ensure you keep yourself and other drivers safe, make sure you're familiar with local driving laws.
