What Should I Do If I Get Into an Accident With My Rental Car in France?
First, ensure everyone is safe and call 112 for emergencies. Move to a safe location if possible. Contact your car rental company at PIS Airport immediately. Fill out the European Accident Statement ('constat amiable') found in your glove box. Take photos of the scene and exchange information with the other party. Do not admit fault.

What Should I Know About Fueling a Rental Car in France?
Most car rentals from PIS operate on a 'full-to-full' policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid extra charges. In France, unleaded gasoline is 'Sans Plomb' (SP95/SP98) and diesel is 'Gazole'. Always double-check the fuel type on the rental agreement or inside the fuel cap. Many self-service pumps require a chip-and-PIN credit card, especially after hours.

Understanding your insurance options is key. Most rentals include basic coverage with a high deductible (up to €3000).

Poitiers Car Rental Guide

Essential driving tips and rental advice for US travelers exploring Poitiers and western France

Can I drive in France with my US driver's license, or do I need an International Driving Permit?
You'll need both your US driver's license AND an International Driving Permit (IDP) to drive in France. The IDP is a mandatory translation recognized by French authorities—police can and do ask for it. You can get an IDP through AAA or the American Automobile Association before departure (about $20). Without it, you risk fines up to €135. Your US license alone is not sufficient in France.
How do I pay for highway tolls in France? Do I need a separate device or card?
France uses a mix of automated toll booths—you can pay with any major credit card (Visa, Mastercard) directly at the machine. Look for the blue 'CB' signs. Some rural tolls only accept contactless or cards under €20, so carrying a credit card is essential. Unlike Italy or Portugal, you don't need to rent an electronic toll tag (like Via Verde or Telepass). Tolls run roughly €0.10–€0.15 per km on autoroutes; Poitiers to Paris (340 km) costs about €35–€45.
I'm 22 years old—will I face extra fees, and what's the minimum age to rent in France?
The minimum driving age in France is 18, but most rental companies require you to be at least 21 to rent a car. If you're under 25, expect to pay a 'young driver surcharge' of roughly €25–€35 per day on top of the base rate. Some premium/luxury vehicles have a minimum age of 23–25. Budget accordingly—this fee can easily add €150–€250 to a week's rental.
What type of fuel do French gas stations use, and is diesel cheaper?
French stations offer both gasoline (essence sans plomb 95 and 98) and diesel (gazole). Diesel is typically 10–15% cheaper than gasoline in France, and many rental cars are diesel-powered—check your contract. Most major stations accept credit cards at the pump, but some unmanned stations only take French cards. In Poitiers, you'll find Shell, Total, and Intermarché stations along major routes. Always return the car with the same fuel type to avoid penalty charges.
Will I need snow chains or winter tires to drive around Poitiers in winter?
Winter driving in the Poitiers region is generally mild but not negligible. From November to March, frost and black ice are common on rural roads, especially in early morning. While not legally required to carry chains year-round like in Alpine regions, the D950 and rural roads can be hazardous. If visiting December–February, consider renting a car with winter tires or carrying chains—rentals rarely offer this automatically. Check the forecast on meteo.fr before heading into the countryside.
What are the speed limits in France, and how strictly are they enforced?
Speed limits in France: 130 km/h on autoroutes (highways), 110 km/h on divided roads, 80 km/h on secondary roads, and 50 km/h in urban areas. Speed cameras (radars) are widespread and automatic—fines arrive by mail 2–4 weeks later. In 2024, the fine for exceeding limits by 10–20 km/h starts at €68. A new '票违章违规' system means rental companies forward your details to authorities if you're caught. There's a 20% tolerance margin on static cameras, but don't rely on it with mobile radars.
