Mercedes-Benz car rental in Paris

Mercedes-Benz rental in Paris with Rent-Trip puts 13 cars on the road, from €89 a day for a Vito panel van to €350 a day for an S-Class. We deliver the car to you anywhere in Paris, and every booking is agreed with a manager before it is confirmed.

What Mercedes-Benz car rental in Paris costs

We price by class, not by badge, so the range on this page runs from €89 to €350 per day. Rent-Trip holds 13 Mercedes-Benz cars here across seven classes — Premium, SUV & 4x4, Convertibles, Luxury, Passenger vans, Commercial and Electric — and every one of them has automatic transmission. Longer bookings are calculated on the daily rate, so the class you choose sets the band and the length of the booking sets the total.

Daily, weekly and monthly rates

Our Mercedes-Benz hire starts at €89 per day and runs to €350 per day across 13 cars. The cheapest entry point is the Mercedes-Benz Vito panel van at €89, and the top of the range is the Mercedes-Benz S-Class at €350; between them sit the A-Class at €119, the GLA at €125, the C-Class at €149, the GLC at €155, the C-Class Coupe at €159, the C-Class Cabriolet at €189, the E-Class at €210, the EQE at €215, the E-Class Cabriolet at €220, the V-Class at €240 and the EQV at €260. Weekly is calculated as the daily rate × 6, so the cheapest week starts at €534, and monthly as the daily rate × 21, which puts the cheapest month at €1,869. Fuel and mileage policy, the deposit and the delivery arrangements are set out in the rental agreement and confirmed when the booking is agreed with a manager — the rate card above is the only price we publish.

Mercedes-Benz prices by class

The class sets the price band, but the model inside it sets the seats and the fuel — check both before you choose.

What the deposit and excess cover

The deposit and the insurance excess are set out in the rental agreement, and we confirm them when the booking is agreed with a manager. In France the excess — franchise — is a fixed sum you carry yourself after damage or theft, and it is non-waivable: it is determined by the level of protection you take, not by the class of car. Rachat de franchise is the paid option that reduces or removes it, and the base package already includes responsabilité civile, CDW and theft protection, each capped by that same excess. Tyres under abnormal use, glass outside a collision, the sunroof and panoramic roof, the underside, misfuelling and lost keys fall outside the base cover. Before you sign, ask which protection level is attached to your booking — moving from the standard level to the top one changes the excess more than changing class does.

Mercedes-Benz car rental in Paris class options for your trip

Class is the first decision, not the model. With 13 Mercedes-Benz cars in seven classes, the range is wide enough that the class you pick decides your price band, your seat count and your fuel — and the model inside the class only refines it. We deliver the car to you, and the booking is agreed with a manager.

Automatic transmission across the Mercedes-Benz range in Paris

All 13 Mercedes-Benz cars on this page have automatic transmission, so there is no manual option to filter out. In France a manual is the ordinary hire car and an automatic is a separate, dearer category — the boîte automatique sits above the boîte manuelle in every price list, and travellers who cannot drive a manual often pay a premium for it. Here the automatic is the baseline, not an upgrade: the Vito panel van at €89 a day and the S-Class at €350 a day both shift themselves. That removes a filter most drivers in France have to apply before they even look at price. What it does not remove is the size question — a rear-wheel-drive C-Class and an all-wheel-drive GLC behave differently on wet cobbles, and the all-wheel-drive option only appears on the GLC and the S-Class. Check the drivetrain line, not the badge, if your week includes mountain roads.

Which Mercedes-Benz class suits which trip

• Premium: the A-Class hatchback, C-Class sedan and C-Class Coupé cover city driving and short runs out of town, from €119 a day.
• SUV & 4x4: the GLA and the GLC give higher seating and all-wheel drive on the GLC, from €125 a day.
• Convertibles: the C-Class Cabriolet and E-Class Cabriolet suit occasions and warm evenings, from €189 a day.
• Luxury: the E-Class and S-Class sedans are the long-distance and arrival cars, from €210 a day.
• Passenger vans: the V-Class and the electric EQV move eight people each, from €240 a day.
• Commercial: the Vito panel van carries cargo rather than people, from €89 a day.
• Electric: the EQE sedan runs on an 89 kWh battery, from €215 a day.

Seat count, not badge, is the constraint that decides most bookings — 3, 4, 5 or 8 seats is the first thing to fix, and only then does the class make sense.

Diesel, gasoline or electric Mercedes-Benz

The fleet runs on Diesel, Electric and Gasoline, with two electric models — the EQE sedan and the EQV van. Fuel choice interacts with the low-emission zone: an electric car removes the Crit'Air question entirely, a diesel one does not. The ZFE de la Métropole du Grand Paris bans Crit'Air 5, 4, 3 and «Non classé» vehicles inside the A86 ring, boulevard périphérique included, so a diesel Mercedes-Benz needs the right sticker on the windscreen before you drive it into the centre. Gasoline models such as the A-Class, GLA, C-Class Coupé and both Cabriolets sit outside that problem. In our experience the electric EQE is the one travellers ask about first for city days and the diesel GLC for a week that mixes the capital with the motorway south — check the fuel line on the model card before you decide.

Mercedes-Benz prices by class

Weekly is calculated as the daily rate × 6 and monthly as the daily rate × 21, so the cheapest entry point — Commercial at €89 — starts at €534 a week and €1,869 a month.

Mercedes-Benz models you can rent in Paris

Thirteen Mercedes-Benz models sit on this page, from a €89 panel van to a €350 S-Class. Each one is listed with the numbers that actually decide a booking: seats, fuel, gearbox, drivetrain and engine.

From the Vito to the S-Class: the full Mercedes-Benz line-up

• Mercedes-Benz Vito — €89/day: Commercial panel van, 3 seats, Diesel, automatic, rear-wheel drive, 2.0 L, 163 hp. The cheapest way into the range and the only three-seater.
• Mercedes-Benz A-Class — €119/day: Premium hatchback, 5 seats, Gasoline, automatic, front-wheel drive, 1.3 L, 163 hp. The compact city car of the fleet.
• Mercedes-Benz GLA — €125/day: SUV, 5 seats, Gasoline, automatic, front-wheel drive, 1.3 L, 163 hp. Raised seating position, compact footprint.
• Mercedes-Benz C-Class — €149/day: Premium sedan, 5 seats, Diesel, automatic, rear-wheel drive, 2.0 L, 200 hp. The default business saloon.
• Mercedes-Benz GLC — €155/day: SUV, 5 seats, Diesel, automatic, all-wheel drive, 2.0 L, 197 hp. All-wheel drive and a 197 hp diesel in one body.
• Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupe — €159/day: Premium coupe, 4 seats, Gasoline, automatic, rear-wheel drive, 2.0 L, 258 hp.
• Mercedes-Benz C-Class Cabriolet — €189/day: Convertible, 4 seats, Gasoline, automatic, rear-wheel drive, 2.0 L, 258 hp.
• Mercedes-Benz E-Class — €210/day: Luxury sedan, 5 seats, Diesel, automatic, rear-wheel drive, 2.0 L, 197 hp.
• Mercedes-Benz EQE — €215/day: Electric sedan, 5 seats, 89 kWh battery, automatic, rear-wheel drive, 292 hp.
• Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet — €220/day: Convertible, 4 seats, Gasoline, automatic, rear-wheel drive, 2.0 L, 258 hp.

• Mercedes-Benz EQV — €260/day: Passenger van, 8 seats, 90 kWh battery, automatic, front-wheel drive, 204 hp.
• Mercedes-Benz S-Class — €350/day: Luxury sedan, 5 seats, Gasoline, automatic, all-wheel drive, 3.0 L, 381 hp. The top of the range.

What to check before you pick a model

Seat count and fuel matter more than the badge. The range splits into 3, 4, 5 and 8 seats, and only the Vito carries three — if you are moving boxes rather than people, that is the one. Four seats means a coupe or a cabriolet, so a family of four with luggage will be tight; five seats covers the sedans and SUVs; eight seats is the V-Class or the EQV, and nothing else in the range will take a group that size. On fuel, eleven cars run on Diesel or Gasoline and two are fully electric, the EQE sedan and the EQV van.

In our experience, the model people book and the model they need are often two different cars — a cabriolet sounds like the obvious choice until two suitcases have to go somewhere. Tell the manager the passenger count and the luggage when the booking is agreed, and we match the car to it rather than to the photograph.

How Mercedes-Benz car rental in Paris works with delivery

We deliver the car to you, and the booking is agreed with a manager. That single line covers the whole hand-over: you choose the model, we bring it, and the terms — deposit, excess, delivery — are set out in the rental agreement.

What happens after you pick a Mercedes-Benz

The booking is agreed with a manager, not confirmed by an automated checkout. You name the class and the dates, we check the 13 cars on this page against availability, and the manager confirms the exact model, the daily rate and the delivery arrangement in writing. Nothing is charged on the spot. Because the agreement is settled with a person, every detail of the booking is worked out before you commit, not after.

Delivery, hand-over and return

• Delivery to you: the Mercedes-Benz is brought to the address you agree when booking; the time window is fixed in the same conversation.
• Return: the car goes back the same way — the manager confirms the drop-off point and time when the booking is agreed.
• Fuel policy: plein-plein — collect with a full tank, return it full.
• Mileage: kilométrage illimité on the rental agreement; the opposite would be a franchise kilométrique, a capped allowance.
• Deposit: the caution is set out in the rental agreement and agreed when booking.
• One-way: a location aller simple, returning the car to a different point, is arranged with the manager.

Why delivery changes the maths on a Paris rental

Street parking in zone 1 of the city runs on a progressive tariff — €6 for the first hour, €12 for two, €24 for three, up to a six-hour maximum on one spot — so a car that arrives at your door and leaves from it saves you the horodateur entirely. Our Mercedes-Benz car rental in Paris starts at €89 per day and runs to €350, and a Mercedes-Benz Vito at €89 or an A-Class at €119 both come to you. For longer stays, weekly is the daily rate × 6 and monthly is the daily rate × 21, so a month of an A-Class works out from €1,869 rather than thirty separate days. In our experience the delivery slot matters more than the badge: fix the morning drop-off first, then pick the class around it.

Licence, age and documents for Mercedes-Benz car rental in Paris

The paperwork follows French driving law, and the part that catches most visitors is the rule about the licence itself: it has to have been issued more than 1 year ago, and digital licences are not accepted by rental companies. Everything else — the minimum age and the young-driver supplement — is not fixed by any state norm in France. It is set by each company, and we confirm our own conditions when the booking is agreed with a manager.

Which licence works for Mercedes-Benz hire

• EU/EEA licences: valid in France with no time limit, and there is no need to exchange them for a French one as long as they stay valid.
• Non-EU/EEA licences, visitor: you can drive on your national licence; if it is not in Latin script, you need an official translation or an International Driving Permit alongside it.
• The IDP itself: it does not replace your licence — it is only a translation, and you present it together with the national document.
• IDP age limit at rental: the international permit must be no more than 3 years old.
• Non-EU/EEA licences, resident: driving is allowed for 1 year from the entry date stamped in your visa; if you move to France permanently, the licence has to be exchanged.
• Digital licences: not accepted by rental companies.

Age and the young-driver supplement

France sets no single national rule here, so age and the young-driver supplement are the conditions of the individual company — we set out ours when the booking is agreed with a manager. What is fixed is the experience requirement: the licence must have been issued more than 1 year ago. A driver with a permis probatoire, meaning less than 3 years of experience, also drives under lower speed limits on French roads — 110 km/h on a motorway, 100 km/h on a divided road, 80 km/h elsewhere, under Code de la route, art. R413-5. If you are hiring a Mercedes-Benz and the named driver is under 25 or recently licensed, raise it at the booking stage rather than at hand-over — a supplement or an age floor changes who can legally drive the car, and it is cheaper to fix before the agreement is drawn up than after.

What to have ready before the car arrives

Non-Latin script licences need the official translation or IDP with them, and the IDP must be under 3 years old. Additional drivers are a paid option arranged at booking, and their documents are agreed then too — we do not list them here because the condition is set per booking. The same goes for the security deposit and the insurance excess: both are set out in the rental agreement, never quoted as a figure in advance. Our 13 Mercedes-Benz models, from the Vito at €89 a day to the S-Class at €350, all run on automatic transmission, so there is no manual-versus-automatic clause to check on top of the licence rules.

Driving a rented Mercedes-Benz in Paris

Driving a rented Mercedes-Benz in Paris means right-hand traffic, left-hand drive cars, and a low-emission zone that decides which cars may enter the centre. Speed limits, the périphérique rules and parking tariffs are the three things that shape almost every trip here.

Speed limits and the boulevard périphérique

In built-up areas the limit is 50 km/h under Code de la route, art. R413-3, and it can be raised to 70 km/h on certain stretches. Outside built-up areas it is 80 km/h, or 90 km/h on two-lane sections where the département has decided so (art. R413-2), 110 km/h on divided roads and 130 km/h on motorways. In rain those drop to 80, 100 and 110 km/h, and below 50 m of visibility every road becomes 50 km/h (art. R413-4). Drivers with a permis probatoire — less than three years since passing — are capped at 110, 100 and 80 km/h (art. R413-5). The boulevard périphérique runs at 50 km/h since 1 October 2024 by decision of the city hall, phased in from porte des Lilas to porte d'Orléans and complete across the whole ring by 10 October; the Code de la route itself still permits up to 70 km/h there. On our Mercedes-Benz C-Class and E-Class the adaptive cruise makes the 50 km/h ring far less tiring than it sounds.

The ZFE, the Crit'Air sticker and the covoiturage lane

The ZFE de la Métropole du Grand Paris (Zone à Faibles Émissions) covers everything inside the A86 motorway, the A86 itself excluded, and takes in the boulevard périphérique, the Bois de Boulogne and the Bois de Vincennes. Crit'Air 5, 4, 3 and «Non classé» vehicles are banned, and the sticker must be on the windscreen; without it, entry is formally prohibited. Our two electric models, the Mercedes-Benz EQE and the Mercedes-Benz EQV, carry no Crit'Air question at all, while a diesel Mercedes-Benz C-Class or GLC does. The left lane of the périphérique between the Issy embankment and porte de Bercy, in both directions, is reserved Monday to Friday 7:00–10:30 and 16:00–20:00 for cars with two or more occupants — an experiment running since 3 March 2025, enforced from 2 May 2025 with a €135 fine, a fourth-class contravention.

Fuel, tolls and parking

• Gazole (diesel): €2.414 per litre nationally and €2.44 in the département of Paris, measured 21.09.2026 across 9,803 French stations and 48 in the département.
• SP95-E10 (the standard petrol): €2.183 per litre nationally.
• Duplex A86: the underground tunnel from Rueil-Malmaison through Vaucresson to Vélizy, about 10 km, run by Cofiroute/Vinci — class 1 toll of €8.30–13.70 Monday to Thursday depending on the hour, up to €14.90 on Fridays and the eve of public holidays.
• Street parking, zone 1 (arrondissements 1–11): progressive, not hourly — €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.
• Unpaid parking: the forfait post-stationnement is €75 for a light vehicle here, and it is a parking charge, not a driving offence.

City streets and the boulevard périphérique are free to use; the paid tolls begin with the Duplex A86 and the motorways beyond the city.

Alcohol, children and winter tyres

The general alcohol limit is 0.5 g/l of blood (0.25 mg/l of breath), and for a permis probatoire it is 0.2 g/l (0.10 mg/l) since 1 July 2015 — over the young-driver limit the penalty is €135, six points and possible licence suspension. A child restraint is compulsory for children under 10 years old or shorter than 135 cm, and both conditions must be met before one becomes unnecessary (Code de la route, R412-1 et seq.); the fine for going without reaches €750, a fourth-class contravention. Winter tyres are mandatory from 1 November to 31 March in around 34 mountain départements — the Alps, Pyrenees, Massif Central, Jura, Vosges and Corsica — across more than 4,000 communes by prefectural decision, requiring either four winter tyres or chains or socks on two driven wheels. Île-de-France is not covered, so a car hired here needs nothing extra for city driving, but a ski trip does; the penalty is €135 plus immobilisation of the car under loi Montagne II.

Insurance and protection on Mercedes-Benz car rental in Paris

Every Mercedes-Benz booking through Rent-Trip includes the cover French law requires, and the full terms sit in the agreement we confirm with you when the reservation is agreed.

What is included as standard

• Responsabilité civile: compulsory third-party cover, included automatically in every hire, meeting bodily injury and property damage to others within the country's legal limits; it does not cover the driver's own injuries.
• CDW / collision damage protection: part of the base package on the French market, it caps your liability at the excess figure and covers repair and the car's off-road time.
• TW / theft protection: also in the base package here, covering theft, attempted theft and vandalism while parked, again up to the excess.
• What base protection leaves out: tyres damaged by abnormal use, glass unless it broke in a collision, the sunroof and panoramic roof, the underside, misfuelling and the engine damage it causes, lost or stolen keys, and damage from negligence or intent.

Excess, deposit and buying it down

The excess — franchise — is the fixed amount you carry yourself after damage or theft; it is non-waivable and follows the protection level you pick. On the French market a small city car, an SUV or something larger each sits in its own band, and rachat de franchise is the paid option that reduces it. The exact figure for your Mercedes-Benz stands in the agreement, and the deposit is set out in the rental agreement. One practical note from our bookings: the protection level you choose — from the base package up to a full rachat de franchise — is agreed when booking, and the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, C-Class and GLC each sit in their own band, so it is worth settling before you drive off.

Damage, fuel and the small print that costs money

An état des lieux is done at hand-over and return, so walk the car with us and note anything you see before you drive off. Fuel policy is plein-plein: collect full, return full, or pay for the difference by prior arrangement. Parking without payment triggers a forfait post-stationnement of €75 for a light vehicle rather than a road-traffic fine, and the covoiturage lane on the boulevard périphérique — left lane, Issy to porte de Bercy, weekdays 7:00–10:30 and 16:00–20:00, two or more occupants — carries a €135 contravention. Child seats are required for children under 10 or shorter than 135 cm, with a fine of up to €750 if one is missing. Winter tyres are not a Paris requirement, but they apply from 1 November to 31 March in roughly 34 mountain departments if your trip heads for the Alps.
