  • Add a car seat to your Valence car rental reservation if you're planning to travel with the kids. Requirements change from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their age and size is always the safest approach.

  • Bring the right documents to keep the pick-up process smooth. You'll typically need your physical driver's licence (no electronic copies) plus another photo ID. Also bring along a credit card with room for the security hold. If anything extra is required, you'll find it in your booking.

  • If you've never driven in France, keep in mind that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.

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

  • A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.05% applies in France. The only guaranteed way to stay safe to drive is to avoid alcohol completely.

  • Try to travel outside high-traffic periods for a faster run in general. 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 your card when it's possible, but have some cash ready when electronic payments aren't an option.
