Alpine car rental in Paris

If you need Alpine car rental in Paris, we have 2 cars on this page — the electric Alpine A290 from €95 per day and the Alpine A110 from €450 per day, weekly from €570 and monthly from €1,995. Both come with automatic transmission, and we deliver the car to you anywhere in Paris, with the booking agreed with a manager beforehand.

Which Alpine to Choose for Your Rental in Paris

Two Alpines sit in our Paris fleet, and they pull in opposite directions: the electric A290 is a five-seat hatchback from €95 per day, the petrol A110 is a two-seat sports coupe from €450. Seats, drivetrain and daily budget decide between them faster than any spec sheet.

Alpine A290 or A110 — the two models in our fleet

Rent-Trip offers two Alpines for hire — the electric A290 and the petrol A110, one car in each class. The A290 belongs to the Electric class: a hatchback with a 52 kWh battery, 220 hp, front-wheel drive and an automatic transmission, at €95 per day. The A110 is the Sports class car: a two-seat coupe with a 1.8 L engine, 300 hp, rear-wheel drive and the same automatic gearbox, at €450 per day. The A290 seats five and drives the front wheels; the A110 seats two and drives the rear, so passenger count decides before price does.

Specifications side by side — A290 against A110

Which Alpine suits a longer booking

Weekly pricing starts at €570 and monthly at €1,995, and both cars are automatic.

Quick fit check

• Two travellers, short trip: the A110 — rear-wheel drive, 300 hp, two seats, from €450 per day.
• Family or luggage: the A290 — five seats, front-wheel drive, 52 kWh battery, from €95 per day.
• Longer booking: the A290 at weekly from €570 or monthly from €1,995.
• Automatic gearbox: both cars, so the choice comes down to seats and drivetrain.
• Hand-over: agreed with a manager when you book, whatever model you pick.

Alpine Car Rental in Paris Prices and How to Book

Rates for an Alpine hire run from €95 to €450 per day, depending on which model you take. Weekly and monthly figures are agreed with a manager at booking, along with the hand-over details.

Daily, weekly and monthly rates for an Alpine hire

Weekly is daily × 6 and monthly is daily × 21, so the longer you keep the car, the lower the effective day rate becomes. The A110 follows the same multipliers at its own starting rate of €450 per day. What we do not do is quote a discount we have not agreed: the exact total is set out in the rental agreement for your dates.

How to book an Alpine hire with a manager

• Choose the model: the A290 for five seats and electric running, the A110 for two seats and 300 hp.
• Send your dates: start and finish day, plus the time you want the car in your hands.
• Confirm the driver: the licence must have been issued more than 1 year ago, and for non-Latin-script licences an IDP not older than 3 years is shown together with the national licence.
• Agree the hand-over: where and when we bring the car, settled with the manager in the same conversation.
• Read the agreement: the terms are listed there, not in a chat message.

Every booking is agreed with a manager before it is confirmed, which means the model, the dates and the delivery slot are checked against the fleet rather than promised by a calendar.

What is agreed when you book

• Transmission: both models on this page come with an automatic gearbox, so there is no manual to choose between.

The A110 answers a different question — 300 hp, rear-wheel drive and two seats — and it earns its rate on short, deliberate drives rather than on daily errands. If your plans mix both, book the A290 for the working days and add the A110 for a weekend, since each model is priced separately and the multipliers apply per car.

ZFE and Crit'Air Rules for Your Alpine Car Rental in Paris

The low-emission zone and licence rules decide whether you can drive at all.

Licence and IDP rules for an Alpine hire

• Licence held more than 1 year: we require a licence issued at least a year ago, and digital licences are not accepted.
• EU/EEA licences: valid in France without a time limit and do not need exchanging while they remain valid.
• Non-EU/EEA licences: a tourist may drive on the national licence; where the script is not Latin, an official translation or an International Driving Permit is needed alongside it.
• IDP not older than 3 years: the permit is a translation only and must be shown together with the national licence, never instead of it.
• Residence case: driving is allowed for 1 year from the entry date shown in your visa, after which the licence must be exchanged.

ZFE de la Métropole du Grand Paris and the Crit'Air sticker

The ZFE de la Métropole du Grand Paris covers the area inside the A86 motorway (the A86 itself excluded), including the boulevard périphérique and the Bois de Boulogne and Bois de Vincennes. Crit'Air 5, 4, 3 and «Non classé» vehicles are banned, and the Crit'Air 3 restriction has applied since 1 January 2025. The sticker goes on the windscreen — without it, entry into the zone is formally prohibited.

One more condition worth knowing before you book: winter tyres are compulsory from 1 November to 31 March in roughly 34 mountain départements — the Alps among them. Paris and Île-de-France are not covered, so nothing changes for city driving, but an Alpine pointed at a ski resort in winter needs either four winter tyres or chains on two driven wheels.

The Electric Alpine A290 for City Rental in Paris

The A290 is the electric half of our Alpine fleet. It costs €95 per day, seats five and runs a 52 kWh battery with 220 hp through the front wheels. For short hops and a full day of errands across arrondissements, it is the cheaper and easier of the two Alpines to live with.

What the A290 is and who it suits

The Alpine A290 is a five-seat electric hatchback in our Electric class, priced from €95 per day. It produces 220 hp from a 52 kWh battery, drives the front wheels and comes with automatic transmission. It is not the model for a rear-wheel-drive thrill — that is the A110's job.

Why an electric hatchback works better in central Paris

• Automatic transmission: stop-start traffic on boulevard périphérique and the inner ring is far less tiring without a clutch.
• Five seats: room for a small group, which the two-seat A110 cannot offer at any price.

The A290 against the A110 in the city

• Price: €95 per day against €450 per day for the A110 — the A290 is the budget choice.
• Seats: five against two, so passenger count decides before anything else.
• Fuel: electric against gasoline, which changes your running costs and your refuelling stops.
• Drivetrain: front-wheel drive against rear-wheel drive.
• Output: 220 hp against 300 hp.

For a week, the A290 starts at €570; for a month, €1,995. Both figures follow the same rule — weekly equals daily × 6 and monthly equals daily × 21 — so the longer you keep the car, the lower the effective day rate. Every booking is agreed with a manager, who confirms the model, the dates and the hand-over. If you are weighing the A290 against the A110, tell the manager how many people are travelling and how far you plan to drive; that one answer usually settles the choice before price is even discussed.

Delivery and Hand-Over of Your Alpine Rental in Paris

We bring the car to you — you do not travel to a depot to collect it. Rent-Trip delivers the Alpine to the address you give us, and the whole arrangement is settled with a manager before the car arrives. That is the working method on every booking, and it is the part of the process worth understanding before you choose a model.

How delivery works on an Alpine booking

The exact place and time of delivery are agreed when you book, together with the model, the dates and the terms of the hire. The hand-over happens where you are staying. What we need from you is a reachable address and a window in the day when someone can meet the car. Anything beyond that — the precise meeting point, who hands over the keys, what happens if your arrival time shifts — is confirmed by the manager handling your booking, because those details belong to the agreement and not to a general rule. Book the delivery slot at the same time as the car itself; leaving it to the last day is the one thing that reliably complicates a hand-over.

What is agreed before the car reaches you

• Model and dates: the A290 or the A110, the day and hour of delivery, and the day of return are fixed with a manager in advance.
• Place of hand-over: the address where you want the car brought, agreed at booking rather than assumed.
• Deposit and protection: the caution and the level of cover are set out in the rental agreement for your specific booking.
• Return: where and when the car goes back.

The A110 is a two-seat rear-wheel-drive coupé with a 1.8 L engine and 300 hp, and the A290 is a five-seat electric hatchback with a 52 kWh battery and 220 hp.

Both models come with automatic transmission, so there is no gearbox briefing to sit through. Confirm the delivery window with your manager a day ahead, and keep the phone reachable on the day — that single call is what keeps the hand-over on schedule.

Day Trips from Paris in a Rented Alpine

The A110 was built for roads like the ones that start just past the périphérique, and an Alpine turns a day out of the city into the point of the trip rather than the drive between two stops.

Where an Alpine earns its keep outside the city

Both cars are automatic, so neither asks anything of you in stop-start traffic on the way out of town. Longer days change the maths: a full day in the A110 costs €450, the A290 €95, and the gap matters when you are adding a second or third excursion to the same booking.

Planning the drive around the ZFE

• Crit'Air sticker: the ZFE de la Métropole du Grand Paris bans Crit'Air 5, 4, 3 and "Non classé" inside the A86, so check the class on your car before you set the route for the day.
• Carpool lane: the left lane between Issy and Porte de Bercy is reserved for cars with 2+ occupants on weekdays 7:00–10:30 and 16:00–20:00, with a €135 fine from 2 May 2025.
• Winter tyres: the loi Montagne II requirement runs from 1 November to 31 March in roughly 34 mountain departments; it does not apply to a car collected in the city, but it does apply if the day trip heads into the Alps.

Booking the car around the trip, not the other way round

Tell the manager which excursion you have in mind when you book — the model, the dates and the hand-over are agreed together. On a day trip the tank matters more than in town: the A110 runs on petrol and the A290 on electricity. A full day in the A110 at €450, or in the A290 at €95, is the figure to weigh against what the day actually covers.

Insurance, Deposit and Running Costs of an Alpine Rental in Paris

What French insurance covers on an Alpine

• Responsabilité civile: compulsory third-party cover included automatically, paying for injury and property damage you cause to others within the country's legal limits.
• CDW / collision damage protection: part of the base French package, it caps your liability at the excess figure and covers repairs plus the car's off-road time.
• TW / theft protection: also in the base package, covering theft, attempted theft and vandalism in a car park, again up to the excess.
• Not covered by base protection: tyres under abnormal use, glass outside a collision, sunroof and panoramic roof, underbody, wrong-fuel damage to the engine, and lost or stolen keys.
• Driver injuries: responsabilité civile does not cover the driver, so check your own travel cover before you collect the car.

Excess, deposit and the buy-back option

The excess is a fixed sum you pay yourself if the car is damaged or stolen — it depends on the protection level you pick.

Fuel, mileage and what an Alpine costs to run

• Fuel policy: plein-plein — collect with a full tank and return it full.
• Parking: street parking in zones 1–11 is progressive — €6 for one hour, €12 for two, €24 for three, €39 for four, €57 for five, €75 for six, with six hours the maximum at one spot.
• Tolls: city streets and the boulevard périphérique are free; the Duplex A86 tunnel is not, and it bills by hour of day.
