Good to know
You generally have to be at least 21 years old to rent a car in France. Some providers still accept younger drivers — just expect some extra fees or restrictions. Check the companies' terms and conditions before booking.
Kids coming with you? Car seat regulations vary according to the location, and the right setup may depend on their age, weight and height. Find out if you need to add one to your Annecy car hire reservation.
You'll be asked to provide some documents when you get to the rental counter. As a general rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with room for the security deposit (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will outline the exact requirements.
If you haven't driven before in France, be aware that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.
Keep within the local speed limits. Most of the time 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%. Because alcohol affects everyone differently, 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 smoother run. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
You'll be using the euro (EUR) for all your purchases and expenses on your trip. You may find it handy to carry a mix of cards and cash so you're covered for every situation.
French is the language spoken in most parts of the country.
