Will car rental companies allow me to rent a car in London and drive it into France?? Returning in London?

Hi All,

Have a trip to London and Normandy planned next week. I am from Canada and the car rental/booking phone lines are all seperate.

I'm wondering if anyone had any experiences renting a car in London and driving it into France. I've been planning on driving to Normandy. Will return the car back in London. Don't have access to overseas calling at the moment so can't call the office in question personally

im not sure if they care where you drive just as long as you return it

I'm still driving round in one i hired in france 2 years ago.

fk em...theyre french.

Yea they will, because they charge by the mile also

yes tghey will but you may have to pay a larger deposit and have a lot of proof of who you are a solicitors or doctors letter confirming who you are is a good lever,but you will find that there is an international company at your arrival point in france and it'll be cheaper to hire it from there and they'll be left hand drive have a great time in france,will you fit me in your suitcase so i can come to

You must check with the car rental company and find out their policy. For example, in the United States, very few companies allow rentals to be taken into Mexico or Canada. It really depends on the companies policy. The only way to know, is to check. Can you go to the companies website?

I know for a fact that they will not hire you a car on the continent, for use in the UK. It is all to do with left and right hand driving.......... and insurance anomalies.

I'm not sure about the other way.

You'll need to check with the hire company. A query on-line will get you your answers.

i think its cheeper to go to france on train then rent car over there
