What car rental at Paris-Le Bourget Airport (LBG) includes

Rent-Trip is a self-drive service: the car comes to you, and the booking is agreed with a manager. Nothing is collected from a counter, and the hand-over happens without a chauffeur.

How self-drive hire at Paris-Le Bourget Airport (LBG) works

We hand the car over to you at the agreed point, and you drive it yourself — self-drive means the keys pass to you, and every kilometre after that is yours to plan. Our fleet on this page holds 134 cars, from a two-seat Citroen Ami at €29 a day to a nine-seat van for group transfers. The booking runs through a manager, not an automated queue: you state the class, the dates and the delivery point, and the manager confirms what is available. Because the car is delivered, your pick-up time depends on the manager's confirmation, not on a counter queue.

What is agreed before your booking starts

• Class and dates: you name the category and the exact days, and the manager confirms which of the 134 cars is free for that window.
• Delivery point: the place where the car reaches you is settled with the manager when you book, not chosen at the last minute.
• Rental agreement: the deposit, the excess, the delivery fees and any discount are all set out in the rental agreement — never quoted in advance.
• Driver details: the driver details are set out in the rental agreement and agreed when booking.
• Return: the drop-off time and place are fixed in the same document, which keeps the last day of your trip predictable.

Deposit, excess and delivery fees are set out in the rental agreement, so read it before you confirm the dates.

Prices for car rental at Paris-Le Bourget Airport (LBG)

Daily rates for our fleet start at €29 and run to €1,300 at the top of the range. How long you keep the car changes the total, and the two multipliers below are the only ones we apply.

Daily, weekly and monthly rates at Paris-Le Bourget Airport (LBG)

Weekly hire starts at €174 and monthly at €609, calculated as the daily rate times six and times twenty-one. A Renault Twingo at €35 a day comes to €210 for a week and €735 for a month; the Citroen Ami at €29 works out at €174 and €609. The multipliers are fixed, so the jump from three days to seven is not proportional to the extra time you get — and a car kept for a full month costs noticeably less than four separate weeks of the same model. If your trip is open-ended, price the monthly figure before you commit to a short booking, because the difference is already visible at the weekly step.

What the agreement covers at Paris-Le Bourget Airport (LBG)

Deposit, insurance excess, delivery fees and any discounts are set out in the rental agreement, not quoted in advance. The French market works on a franchise — a fixed excess you carry yourself if the car is damaged or stolen, set by the protection level you pick. Base packages normally include CDW for collision damage and TW for theft, both capped by that excess; rachat de franchise is the paid option that reduces it.

What sits outside the price

• Fuel policy: plein-plein — you collect with a full tank and return it full.
• Transmission: boîte manuelle and boîte automatique are both in the fleet — the Renault Zoe, Fiat 500e and Renault 5 E-Tech are automatic, while the Dacia Sandero and Citroen C3 come with a manual.
• Parking and tolls: forfait post-stationnement for unpaid street parking is €75 or €50 for light vehicles here, and the Duplex A86 tunnel runs €8.30–€13.70 on a weekday off-peak to peak, up to €14.90 on Fridays and holiday eves.

Choosing a car for rental at Paris-Le Bourget Airport (LBG)

Rent-Trip keeps 134 cars on this page, and the choice comes down to three things: how many people travel, how far you drive and what you carry. Match those to a class before you look at the price.

Match the class to your trip from Paris-Le Bourget Airport (LBG)

• Solo or a couple, city only: Economy from €29 a day covers the Citroen Ami, Renault Twingo and Kia Picanto.
• Family of four or five: Crossover from €75 or Comfort from €79, where the Opel Mokka, Peugeot 2008 and Toyota Yaris Cross all take five seats.
• Long motorway run: Comfort and Premium from €79 and €105.
• Heavy luggage or equipment: Commercial from €47 and Minivans from €119, up to the Passenger vans from €155 with nine seats.
• Short urban hops: Electric from €55 — the Renault Zoe and Renault 5 E-Tech need no fuel stop at all.

Automatic or manual, petrol or electric

Fuel splits four ways: gasoline, diesel, hybrid and electric.

Seats, luggage and where you are going

Seat counts run 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9. Tell the manager your group size and route when you book: that is what fixes the class, and the terms are then set out in the rental agreement.

Driving rules that affect your rental at Paris-Le Bourget Airport (LBG)

Speed limits, the low-emission zone and parking tariffs shape how you drive a hire car collected at Paris-Le Bourget Airport (LBG). The rules below apply to the vehicle you pick up, wherever you take it.

Speed limits you follow with a hire car from Paris-Le Bourget Airport (LBG)

Built-up areas run at 50 km/h under Code de la route, art. R413-3, and that limit can be raised to 70 km/h on certain stretches. Outside town the ordinary road limit is 80 km/h, rising to 90 km/h on two-lane sections where the department has decided so; a divided road takes 110 km/h and a motorway 130 km/h, both under Code de la route, art. R413-2. In rain those figures drop to 110 km/h on a motorway, 100 km/h on a divided road and 80 km/h elsewhere, and with visibility under 50 m every road is capped at 50 km/h by Code de la route, art. R413-4. Drivers holding a licence for under three years — permis probatoire — are held to 110, 100 and 80 km/h regardless of the road, under Code de la route, art. R413-5. The boulevard périphérique has run at 50 km/h since 1 October 2024 by decision of the Paris city hall, phased in from the inner ring between porte des Lilas and porte d'Orléans and extended to the whole périphérique by 10 October, even though Code de la route permits up to 70 km/h there. On the left lane reserved for covoiturage between Issy and porte de Bercy, both directions, cars need two or more occupants Monday to Friday 7:00–10:30 and 16:00–20:00; the penalty is €135, a contravention of the fourth class, issued since 2 May 2025.

Low-emission zone rules for a hire car from Paris-Le Bourget Airport (LBG)

The ZFE de la Métropole du Grand Paris (Zone à Faibles Émissions) covers the area inside the A86 motorway, the A86 itself excluded, and takes in the boulevard périphérique together with the Bois de Boulogne and the Bois de Vincennes. A Crit'Air sticker on the windscreen is the document that matters, and Crit'Air 5, Crit'Air 4, Crit'Air 3 and Non classé vehicles are barred from the zone. Winter tyres are a separate case: from 1 November to 31 March they are compulsory in roughly 34 mountain departments — the Alps, the Pyrenees, the Massif Central, the Jura, the Vosges and Corsica — across more than 4,000 communes by prefect decision, as either four winter tyres or chains or socks on two driven wheels, under loi Montagne II, with a €135 fine and immobilisation of the car. Île-de-France is not covered by that requirement, so a vehicle collected here needs nothing extra for city driving, but an Alpine trip does.

Parking and penalties you should expect

• Zone 1 kerbside parking: districts 1–11 charge a progressive visitor tariff — 1 hour €6, 2 hours €12, 3 hours €24, 4 hours €39, 5 hours €57, 6 hours €75 — split into 15-minute units, with a maximum of 6 consecutive hours in one place.
• Forfait post-stationnement: an unpaid parking session produces a fee of €75 or €50 for light vehicles in Paris, which is a parking charge rather than a road-traffic fine.
• Horodateur: the kerbside machine takes payment, and apps do the same, so keep the receipt until you hand the car back.
• Duplex A86: the underground tunnel between Rueil-Malmaison, Vaucresson and Vélizy, about 10 km, is run by Cofiroute/Vinci; the class 1 TTC tariff for Rueil → Vélizy runs €8.30–€13.70 Monday to Thursday depending on the hour and up to €14.90 on Fridays and the eve of public holidays.
• Péage en flux libre: on A13 and A14 there is no barrier, and payment falls due within 72 hours.
• Drink-driving: the general limit is 0.5 g/l of blood, 0.25 mg/l of breath; a permis probatoire driver is held to 0.2 g/l and 0.10 mg/l, in force since 1 July 2015, and exceeding it costs €135, six points and possibly suspension.
• Child seats: compulsory for children under 10 OR shorter than 135 cm — both conditions must be met before a seat stops being required, under Code de la route, R412-1 and following, with a fine of up to €750.

Documents and insurance for car rental at Paris-Le Bourget Airport (LBG)

Two things decide what you may drive and what you owe if something goes wrong: your licence and the level of protection in the agreement.

Licence rules for drivers collecting at Paris-Le Bourget Airport (LBG)

An EU or EEA licence is valid in France with no time limit and needs no exchange while it stays valid. Drivers on a licence issued outside the EU or EEA may use their national permit as a tourist; if the script is non-Latin, an official translation or an International Driving Permit must travel with it, and the IDP only translates the national licence rather than replacing it. Anyone resident outside the EU or EEA may drive for 1 year from the entry date stamped in the visa, and must exchange the permit after moving permanently. Our own condition is a licence held for more than 1 year, and digital licences are not accepted.

Insurance and the excess in the agreement

Third-party liability (responsabilité civile) is compulsory by law and comes with every booking automatically; it covers injury and property damage to others within the country's legal limits, but not the driver's own injuries. Collision damage protection (CDW) and theft protection (TW) are part of the standard French package, covering repairs, vehicle downtime, theft, attempted theft and vandalism on a car park — all within the excess. The excess (franchise) is a fixed amount you pay yourself after damage or theft, and it follows the protection level you choose. The exact figure sits in the agreement for your particular booking.

What the base protection leaves out

• Tyres: damage from abnormal use is not covered.
• Glass: windscreens and windows are excluded unless the damage came from a collision.
• Roof: the sunroof and panoramic roof sit outside the base package.
• Underside: damage to the floor pan is your own responsibility.
• Wrong fuel: misfuelling and the engine damage it causes are excluded.
• Keys: lost or stolen keys are not covered under the standard terms.
• Negligence and intent: damage caused deliberately or through carelessness is never covered.

Card cover and the terms we agree at booking

Some Visa Premier and Gold Mastercard cards cover the CDW and TW excess if the booking was paid with that card and the holder is the main driver on the agreement — a market practice rather than an official bank rule, so check your own card conditions before you rely on it.

Booking your car rental at Paris-Le Bourget Airport (LBG)

A booking with Rent-Trip is agreed with a manager, not dropped into an instant checkout. You tell us the dates, the class and where you want the car brought, and a manager confirms the arrangement before anything is fixed. That conversation is also where the terms of the rental agreement are explained.

How to book car rental at Paris-Le Bourget Airport (LBG)

• Dates and times: give the day and hour you want the car, plus the day and hour you will give it back — the rate depends on that window.
• Class or model: name the class from our 13, or ask for a specific car such as the Dacia Duster if you want all-wheel drive.
• Delivery point: say where you want the car brought and a manager confirms whether that point is served.
• Driver details: the licence held for more than a year, and an IDP no older than 3 years if your national licence is outside the Latin alphabet.
• Agreement terms: deposit, excess, delivery fees and any discount are set out in the rental agreement, so read them before you confirm.

What a manager confirms before hand-over

Booking is agreed with a manager because the car is delivered, and delivery has to be matched to a person, a place and a time. Everything about payment is agreed when booking. If you are hiring for a week or a month, the manager applies the fixed multipliers: weekly from €174, monthly from €609.

Île-de-France recorded 48.9 million overnight stays from April to September 2025, with July alone at 8.6 million — the peak of the year.

What to have ready when you book

Minimum age, the young-driver surcharge, and which card and passport are accepted are not fixed by French law — each rental company sets its own condition, so ask the manager directly rather than assuming. If you hold a licence issued outside the EU or EEA and plan to stay, remember that driving is allowed for 1 year from the entry date on your visa, after which the licence has to be exchanged. Tell the manager which case applies to you and the booking is agreed around it.

Practical tips before you collect your rental car

• Check the fuel policy first: plein-plein means the tank goes out full and comes back full.
• Read the franchise figure: the excess is the sum you pay yourself after damage or theft, and rachat de franchise is the paid option that lowers it.
• Plan the péage: the A13 and A14 run in flux libre — no barrier, and payment falls due within 72 hours, so keep a card ready for the online portal.

Kerbside parking inside arrondissements 1–11 works on a progressive tarif visiteur, not by the hour: 1 hour is €6, 2 hours €12, 3 hours €24, 4 hours €39, 5 hours €57 and 6 hours €75, with a maximum of 6 consecutive hours in one spot. The charge splits into 15-minute blocks, so a short stop costs less than a full hour. If you overstay, the forfait post-stationnement applies — 75 € for a light vehicle, and it is a parking charge, not a driving fine.

Gazole averaged 2.414 € a litre across France and 2.44 € in the département of Paris. SP95-E10, the standard petrol grade, sits at 2.183 € a litre nationally.

Alcohol limits are 0.5 g/l of blood or 0.25 mg/l of breath, dropping to 0.2 g/l and 0.10 mg/l for drivers within three years of passing.
