With culture, history, gastronomy and rich vibrant entertainment, Paris is world renowned as the city of romance – and a must visit for many. Paris has numerous main train stations, together they make getting around France and beyond easy.

Many of our customers decide to book a car hire at a Paris train station because it can sometimes work out more convenient than hiring at an airport or even in central locations. Catching a train to and from the airport is sometimes cheaper than hiring a car at the airport itself, and a lot less hassle. When you rent a car at a Paris train station, often the local offices experience less queues, in turn making your experience more pleasant.A train from the airport into Paris is also much faster, ideal if you are in a rush. Likewise, renting your vehicle from a central location in Paris can be problematic in terms of traffic. For those that aren’t confident driving in central Paris, it can sometimes also feel scary jumping straight into driving in a central location.
