Car rental at Paris-Beauvais Airport (BVA)

One step above the smallest city car, our Economy class puts 15 models at Paris-Beauvais Airport (BVA) from €29 a day — while the 19 SUVs and 4x4s in the same fleet start at €79. Rent-Trip runs 134 cars on this page, delivered to you at the airport, with the booking agreed with a manager.

What car rental at Paris-Beauvais Airport (BVA) includes

Car rental at Paris-Beauvais Airport (BVA) with Rent-Trip is a self-drive service: we hand over the keys and you drive yourself, without a chauffeur anywhere in the arrangement. The car comes to the place you agree when booking, and a manager confirms every term with you before the keys change hands. Nothing about the hand-over is improvised on the day.

Self-drive service at Paris-Beauvais Airport (BVA) explained

Rent-Trip is a self-drive service — you drive the car yourself, without a chauffeur: the driving is yours from the first kilometre. That single condition shapes the whole booking: the itinerary, the stops and the pace belong to you, not to a timetable. Our fleet on this page runs to 134 cars across 13 classes, from €29 to €1,300 per day, so the choice starts with what you actually plan to do. A five-seat Economy hatchback covers a week of short hops, while a seven-seat Minivan or a nine-seat Passenger van makes sense when the whole group travels together and luggage has to fit as well. Self-drive suits travellers who want to set their own pace; the agreement is agreed when booking, so the terms you accept are the terms you get.

Delivery of your vehicle and manager-agreed booking

We deliver the car to the place you agree when booking, and a manager confirms the terms with you — that sequence is the whole service, in order.

• Booking agreed with a manager: you settle the class, the dates and the hand-over point with a person, not with an automated form.
• Car delivery to the client: the vehicle is brought to the location you both confirmed, so the hand-over point is the one you named when booking.
• One confirmation, one set of terms: the rental agreement carries the deposit, the excess and any delivery fee, and those are set out in the rental agreement rather than quoted here.
• Changes before the day: because everything is agreed in advance, a different hand-over point is a conversation with the manager, not a last-minute scramble at the terminal.

Agreeing the hand-over point in advance avoids last-minute changes; details sit in the rental agreement, and in our experience the bookings that go smoothly are the ones where the client named the exact spot before the car left the yard.

Classes and models you can book for BVA car rental

Our fleet on this page holds 134 cars in 13 classes, from €29 to €1,300 per day. Class sizes differ sharply: SUV & 4x4 is the largest group with 19 cars, while Sedan is the smallest with 3.

Popular models in our BVA fleet

• Citroen Ami: Economy microcar, 2 seats, electric, automatic, 8 hp — the cheapest car we list at €29 per day.
• Renault Twingo: Economy hatchback, 4 seats, gasoline, manual, 1.0 L, 65 hp, €35 per day.
• Fiat Panda Hybrid: Economy hatchback, 5 seats, hybrid, manual, 1.0 L, 70 hp, €39 per day.
• Kia Picanto: Economy hatchback, 5 seats, gasoline, manual, 1.0 L, 63 hp, €39 per day.
• Toyota Aygo X: Economy hatchback, 5 seats, gasoline, manual, 1.0 L, 72 hp, €39 per day.

The pattern across our list is simple: seats and fuel move the price more than the badge does. A five-seat hybrid hatchback starts around €39, a five-seat electric crossover around €75, and a seven-seat minivan at €119. Two-seat commercial vans sit in between — a Volkswagen Caddy Cargo at €47, a Ford Transit Connect at €55 — because cargo space, not passenger comfort, is what you are paying for. In our experience, most travellers arriving at BVA book either a five-seat Economy hatchback for city days or a crossover when the trip includes Versailles or the Normandy coast. If you are unsure which body style fits your route, the manager confirms availability and the exact model when booking.

Matching a model to your trip

• Solo or couple, city only: Renault Twingo at €35 or Fiat 500 Hybrid at €49, both easy to park inside the ZFE perimeter.
• Family of four with luggage: Opel Corsa or Seat Ibiza at €49, or Ford Fiesta at €45 for a little more power.
• Electric city driving: Renault Zoe at €55 or Renault 5 E-Tech at €69, both automatic with a 52 kWh battery.
• Longer regional route: Dacia Duster at €79 with all-wheel drive, or Peugeot 2008 at €85.
• Group or bulky luggage: Minivans from €119 and passenger vans from €155, seating up to 9.

Model choice comes down to seats and fuel rather than class name alone — the manager confirms availability when booking.

Prices for car rental at Paris-Beauvais Airport (BVA)

Rates for car rental at Paris-Beauvais Airport (BVA) start at €29 per day and top out at €1,300 per day across our 134 cars on this page. Longer bookings follow a simple rule: weekly from €174, monthly from €609.

Daily, weekly and monthly rates

Daily rates run from €29 to €1,300. Weekly bookings start at €174, and monthly bookings start at €609. The arithmetic behind both is fixed and easy to check yourself: a week is calculated as the daily rate multiplied by six, a month as the daily rate multiplied by twenty-one. So the cheapest car on this page — Citroen Ami at €29 per day — lands at €174 for a week and €609 for a month, while a Premium model at €105 per day works out at €630 weekly and €2,205 monthly. Pick the length of booking first, then the class: stretching a hire from three days to seven changes the effective cost per day more than switching between neighbouring classes does. Our manager confirms the final figure for your dates when you book.

What affects the price of your BVA booking

• Vehicle class: Economy starts at €29 per day, Comfort at €79, Premium at €105, Luxury at €195 and Sports at €450.
• Seats and body type: five-seat hatchbacks sit at the bottom of the range, while seven-, eight- and nine-seat minivans and passenger vans start at €119 and €155.
• Fuel type: electric cars start at €55 per day, hybrid and gasoline models from €39, diesel vans from €47.
• Transmission: automatic cars are a separate, more expensive category than manual ones in France.

The deposit, the insurance excess, any delivery fees and discounts are not fixed here — they are set out in the rental agreement for your specific booking.

Getting the best value from your booking

Three patterns come up again and again in our Paris bookings. First, the day rate falls fastest when you cross into a full week: at €29 per day, seven days cost €174 rather than €203, and the gap only widens on pricier classes. Second, the cheapest car is rarely the right one — a four-seat Citroen Ami at €29 per day cannot carry the luggage that a five-seat Dacia Sandero at €42 per day handles without a second thought. Third, mixing classes inside one trip rarely pays: swapping a €39 Kia Picanto for a €85 Peugeot 2008 mid-hire resets the whole calculation.

Tell the manager your dates, passenger count and luggage when you book, and the price you are quoted will already reflect the class that actually fits.

Choosing automatic or manual for your BVA car rental

Both gearbox types sit in our BVA fleet, and the split matters more in France than many travellers expect: manual cars are the everyday default here, while automatic sits in its own, usually pricier category.

Automatic and manual cars in the fleet

Automatic and manual cars are both available — Citroen Ami and Renault Zoe shift themselves, Renault Twingo and Kia Picanto come with a manual. The automatic list also covers Renault 5 E-Tech, Fiat 500e, Opel Mokka Electric, Renault Clio E-Tech Hybrid, Fiat 500X, Nissan Juke and Toyota Yaris Cross, so an automatic is not limited to electric models. Manual covers the bulk of the Economy class: Fiat Panda Hybrid, Toyota Aygo X, Dacia Sandero, Citroen C3, Ford Fiesta, Opel Corsa, Seat Ibiza, Volkswagen Polo and Peugeot 208. Prices follow the class first and the gearbox second — the cheapest automatic on this page is the Citroen Ami at €29 per day, and a manual Renault Twingo starts at €35. In our experience, travellers arriving on a late flight from Beauvais do better booking automatic in advance: the manual pool is larger, but the automatic one is what runs out first. Confirm your choice with the manager when booking.

Fuel types across the BVA fleet

• Gasoline: the widest group, from Renault Twingo and Kia Picanto up to Ford Focus and Seat Leon, with 1.0–1.5 L engines.
• Diesel: Volkswagen Caddy Cargo, Ford Transit Connect, Renault Master and Ford Transit — vans built for loaded runs.
• Electric: Citroen Ami, Renault Zoe, Fiat 500e, Renault 5 E-Tech and Opel Mokka Electric, all automatic with 42–54 kWh batteries.
• Hybrid: Fiat Panda Hybrid, Fiat 500 Hybrid, Renault Clio E-Tech Hybrid, Fiat 500X, Ford Puma, Nissan Juke and Toyota Yaris Cross.

Driving in Paris means the ZFE de la Métropole du Grand Paris applies inside the A86, where a Crit'Air sticker is required and Crit'Air 5, 4, 3 and «Non classé» vehicles are barred. A gasoline or hybrid car with a clean Crit'Air class keeps every option open — check the sticker before you plan a route through the city.

Electric car rental at Paris-Beauvais Airport (BVA)

Electric cars make up 18 of the 134 vehicles on this page, starting at €55 a day. We deliver the car to the place you agree when booking, and a manager confirms the terms with you before hand-over.

Electric models in the fleet

• Renault Zoe: Electric hatchback, 5 seats, automatic, front-wheel drive, 52 kWh, 136 hp, €55 a day.
• Fiat 500e: Electric hatchback, 4 seats, automatic, front-wheel drive, 42 kWh, 118 hp, €59 a day.
• Renault 5 E-Tech: Electric hatchback, 5 seats, automatic, front-wheel drive, 52 kWh, 150 hp, €69 a day.
• Opel Mokka Electric: Electric crossover, 5 seats, automatic, front-wheel drive, 54 kWh, 156 hp, €75 a day.
• Citroen Ami: Economy microcar, 2 seats, automatic, front-wheel drive, 5.5 kWh, 8 hp, €29 a day.

Charging and driving an electric car from BVA

Charging an electric car in France runs on the same socket types as the rest of the EU, and the Zoe, the 5 E-Tech, the 500e and the Mokka Electric all take a Type 2 cable for AC charging and CCS for DC. On a 52 kWh battery the Zoe and the 5 E-Tech cover roughly the same real-world range, and the 5 E-Tech's 150 hp makes it the quicker of the two on the motorway. The Mokka Electric has the largest pack at 54 kWh and the most power at 156 hp, which matters if you plan longer runs out of the Île-de-France region. In our experience, drivers booking an electric car for the first time under-estimate how much a motorway stint at 130 km/h eats into range compared with city work — plan a charging stop rather than trusting the dash figure. Charging costs and any fuel or charge policy sit in the rental agreement, not on this page.

What to check before booking an electric car

• Battery size: the pack is listed per model — 5.5 kWh on the Citroen Ami, 42 kWh on the Fiat 500e, 52 kWh on the Zoe and the 5 E-Tech, 54 kWh on the Mokka Electric.
• Seats: electric options run from 2 seats in the Ami to 5 in the Zoe, the 5 E-Tech and the Mokka Electric.
• Transmission: every electric car on this page is automatic, so no manual gearbox to think about.
• Charging cable and card: confirm what comes with the car and how charging is settled when you book.
• Daily rate: electric starts at €55, against €29 for the cheapest Economy car, so the gap is worth weighing against your mileage.

For a short city break an electric hatchback keeps running costs low; for a long motorway run with luggage, a hybrid or a diesel van may suit better. Either way, the class, seats and fuel type you want are confirmed with a manager when booking, and the car is delivered to the place you agree.

How booking and delivery work for BVA car rental

Booking a car with Rent-Trip runs through a manager, not an automated checkout: you agree the hand-over point and the terms first, and the vehicle is delivered to you afterwards. Nothing about the arrangement is fixed until both sides confirm it.

What the manager confirms before your trip

• Hand-over point: we deliver the car to the place you agree when booking — a terminal, a hotel or another address in the Paris area; the exact spot is settled with the manager.
• Dates and duration: pick-up and return times are confirmed in the same conversation, so the rate you were quoted matches the days you actually keep the car.
• Car class and model: availability across the 134 cars on this page is checked at booking, not promised in advance.
• Agreement details: the deposit, the excess and any delivery fee sit in the rental agreement — we set them out there rather than quoting a figure up front.
• Driver documents: bring a licence issued more than 1 year ago; digital licences are not accepted by rental companies. An IDP, if you need one, must be less than 3 years old and is shown alongside your national licence, never instead of it.

How delivery works on the day

We bring the car to the agreed point and hand it over there, which is why a confirmed booking matters more than a fast one — a delivery address that changes at the last minute is the single most common reason a hand-over slips. You drive the car yourself for the whole period; the car comes without a chauffeur and no transfer service. The fuel policy is plein-plein: you collect the car with a full tank and return it full. Mileage and the one-way option, if you need to drop the car somewhere else, are agreed when booking.

Why we keep a manager in the loop

A manager confirms every detail because the terms of a French booking depend on things a form cannot see — your licence issue date, the class you actually want, whether you are crossing into a mountain department between 1 November and 31 March where winter tyres or chains are required. If your plans shift, tell the manager before the hand-over rather than after; the agreement is what governs the arrangement, and it is easier to change before the car moves than once it has.

Driving in France with your BVA rental car

Driving in France runs on the right, all our cars are left-hand drive, and the rules you meet on the road from Beauvais to the capital are set by the Code de la route. Speed limits are 50 km/h in built-up areas under Code de la route, art. R413-3, 80 km/h on ordinary roads outside towns under art. R413-2, 110 km/h on dual carriageways with a central divider, and 130 km/h on motorways. In rain those drop to 110, 100 and 80 km/h respectively, and when visibility falls below 50 m every road becomes 50 km/h under art. R413-4. Drivers with less than three years since passing the test — permis probatoire — are capped at 110, 100 and 80 km/h under art. R413-5, so a young driver in a group should not be the one setting the pace.

The boulevard périphérique around the capital is capped at 50 km/h since 1 October 2024 by a decision of the city hall, phased in from the inner ring between porte des Lilas and porte d'Orléans and extended to the whole ring by 10 October, even though the Code de la route would allow up to 70 km/h there. The left lane between the Issy embankment and porte de Bercy in both directions is reserved for cars carrying two or more people, Monday to Friday 7:00–10:30 and 16:00–20:00 — the covoiturage experiment runs from 3 March 2025, and the fine is €135 as a contravention of the fourth class, issued from 2 May 2025. In our experience the lane catches out drivers arriving from Beauvais with a full car and no idea the rule exists, so agree your route into the city with the manager when booking.

Alcohol limits are 0.5 g/l of blood, or 0.25 mg/l of breath, and 0.2 g/l of blood for permis probatoire drivers since 1 July 2015. A young driver over the lower limit faces €135, six points and a possible suspension. Children under 10 or shorter than 135 cm must be in a child seat — both conditions have to be met before one is unnecessary, under Code de la route, R412-1 and following — and the fine for going without reaches €750 as a fourth-class contravention. Winter tyres are compulsory from 1 November to 31 March in roughly 34 mountain departments with over 4,000 communes covered by prefectural decisions, either four winter tyres or chains or socks on two driven wheels, with a €135 fine and immobilisation for non-compliance. Paris and Île-de-France are not in that zone, so a car hired here needs nothing extra unless you are heading for the Alps.

Practical takeaways for car rental at Paris-Beauvais Airport (BVA)

Car hire at Paris-Beauvais Airport (BVA) comes down to four decisions: how many cars you need, how long you keep them, what you put in them, and where the vehicle is handed over. Everything else — the class, the transmission, the fuel — follows from those four.

The fleet on this page holds 134 cars in 13 classes, from €29 to €1,300 per day. Weekly bookings start at €174 and monthly at €609, and both are worked out from the daily rate — daily x 6 for a week, daily x 21 for a month. Economy is the biggest value at €29, Sports sits at the top from €450, and the middle of the range is crowded: Crossover from €75, Comfort and SUV & 4x4 from €79, Premium from €105, Minivans from €119. With 2 to 9 seats across the range, a couple travelling light and a group of nine are both served here — but not by the same car.

• Seats first: count the people who will actually travel, not the people who might, then match 2, 4, 5, 7 or 9 seats to the model list.
• Fuel second: Gasoline and Diesel remain the simplest for long motorway runs, Hybrid and Electric for short hops and city traffic.
• Transmission third: Automatic sits in its own, usually pricier category in France, while Manual is the ordinary choice and covers most of the cheaper models.
• Length last: if a trip runs past a few days, price the weekly or monthly figure rather than stacking daily rates.
• Agreement always: the deposit, the excess, delivery fees and any discount are set out in the rental agreement, not fixed on this page.

Two practical points save the most time. The first is the hand-over: we deliver the car to the place agreed when booking, and a manager confirms the terms with you beforehand, so the meeting point is settled before you travel rather than found on arrival. The second is the paperwork — driving in France with an EU/EEA licence needs no exchange while it stays valid, and a non-EU tourist can drive on a national licence, with an official translation or an international driving permit alongside it if the script is non-Latin. An IDP is a translation, not a licence, and it must be valid for no more than 3 years.

One more thing worth doing before you book: decide whether the car leaves the city at all. For a stay in the capital, an Economy hatchback at €29 handles the périphérique and the ZFE sticker question perfectly well; for a run out to the châteaux or the coast, the 7- and 9-seat Minivans and Passenger vans from €119 and €155 earn their keep. Tell the manager which of the two you are planning — the booking is agreed with a manager, and that single detail decides the class far better than any list.
