Opel car rental in Paris

If you need Opel car rental in Paris, we deliver the car to you — the booking agreed with a manager. Our Paris page holds 6 Opels, from €49 to €92 per day, with weekly from €294 and monthly from €1,029. The line-up runs from the Opel Corsa to the Opel Grandland, all five-seaters, petrol, hybrid and electric.

Choosing an Opel for car rental in Paris

Six Opel models sit on this page across four classes — Economy, Crossover, Comfort and Electric — with prices from €49 to €92 per day. Every one of them is a five-seat, front-wheel-drive car, so the real choice comes down to body style, gearbox and fuel.

The six Opel models on this page and what each one is for

Automatic or manual Opel for driving in Paris

Three of our Opels come with automatic transmission — Mokka Electric, Mokka and Grandland. The other three, Corsa, Crossland and Astra, are manual, and each runs the same 1.2 L engine in different states of tune: 100 hp in the Corsa, 110 hp in the Crossland, 130 hp in the Astra. Manual Opels stay cheaper per day, so if your route is mostly the A86 corridor and weekend runs out of the city, the Corsa or Crossland does the same job for less. Pick the gearbox by the traffic you will actually sit in, not by the price tag alone.

Can I rent an electric Opel in Paris

Yes — the Opel Mokka Electric is the only electric Opel on this page, at €75 per day. It carries a 54 kWh battery and 156 hp, pairs the electric drivetrain with an automatic gearbox, and sits in the Crossover class despite the compact body. Charging here is a habit rather than a formality: you plan the charging stop before you set off, not when the battery warning appears, because street charging points fill up in the evening and the car has to be returned with the charge level set out in the rental agreement. For short city trips the Mokka Electric is the quietest and smoothest option in our fleet, and it is the one model here that sidesteps fuel stops entirely.

Opel car rental in Paris and the ZFE Crit'Air rules

The ZFE de la Métropole du Grand Paris (Zone à Faibles Émissions) covers everything inside the A86 ring, the boulevard périphérique included. A Crit'Air sticker on the windscreen decides whether your Opel may enter it at all.

Do I need a Crit'Air sticker for an Opel car rental in Paris

A hired Opel needs a Crit'Air sticker on the windscreen to enter the ZFE de la Métropole du Grand Paris. The vignette Crit'Air belongs to the vehicle, not to the driver, so it stays with the car between hires. Classes run from Crit'Air 0 for battery-electric cars up to Crit'Air 5 for the oldest diesels, and the windscreen disc is what identifies the class of the car. Our Opel Mokka Electric carries the cleanest classification of the six models we run, which is worth remembering if your route crosses the A86 ring more than once. Ask about the sticker at booking rather than at hand-over: the disc is issued per car, and a missing one turns a legal trip into a prohibited entry the moment you cross the perimeter.

Which Opel models are allowed inside the Paris ZFE

• Crit'Air 5, 4, 3 and «Non classé» are banned inside the A86 ring, boulevard périphérique included.
• The Crit'Air 3 phase-out starts 1 January 2025, so a car that was legal last year may not be now.
• Petrol Opels first registered from 2011 generally sit in Crit'Air 1 or 2 and keep full access.
• Diesels registered before 2011 usually fall into Crit'Air 4 or 5 and cannot enter at all.
• The Opel Mokka Electric is the only electric Opel on this page and the safest bet for the ZFE.

What happens if you drive into the ZFE without a sticker

Entering the ZFE without a valid Crit'Air sticker is formally prohibited, and the check runs along the perimeter rather than on a police stop. That makes the risk a daily one for anyone parking inside the ring: each crossing is recorded separately, so a week of short trips is a week of separate exposures. In our experience the drivers who get caught are not the ones crossing the city once — they are the ones who booked a hotel inside the ring and drove in and out every day without checking the disc.

Opel car rental in Paris prices by class

Weekly starts at €294 and monthly at €1,029. Every model on this page seats 5 and drives the front wheels, and the deposit, the excess and any delivery fee are set out in the rental agreement.

Delivery and booking of your Opel car rental in Paris

We deliver the Opel to you in Paris, and a manager agrees every booking before it is confirmed. The section below covers how the hand-over point is fixed, what the manager settles with you, and what the rental agreement contains.

How delivery of an Opel car rental in Paris works

We deliver the Opel to you in Paris, and the exact hand-over point is agreed when you book. That is the whole model: you name the address, the manager confirms whether the stop is workable, and the car arrives there. Hotels, apartment blocks and residential streets each have their own stopping rules, so a point that looks simple on a map is not always one a car can wait at. Tell the manager the arrival time of your train or flight if it matters, and the slot is built around it. If you are staying near Champs-Élysées or in Le Marais, say so at booking — the manager knows which side of the block a car can pull up on. Do not leave the meeting point to the morning of the hire; a confirmed point saves the driver a lap of the district.

Booking an Opel car rental in Paris with a manager

Every booking is agreed with a manager, so dates, model and delivery point are confirmed before you pay anything. You are not locking in a category code and hoping for the best — you are agreeing a specific car from the six on this page, whether that is the €49 Corsa or the €92 Grandland. The manager also settles the questions the website cannot answer for you: the deposit, the insurance excess, any delivery fee and any discount are set out in the rental agreement, so ask for them at this stage rather than at hand-over. Bring the paperwork question up in the same conversation. Driving licence rules, the minimum age for the driver and the deposit terms are agreed when booking, and the manager will tell you what the agreement requires in your case.

What the rental agreement covers

• Deposit: the amount is set out in the rental agreement and is agreed with the manager when you book, not published as a figure here.
• Insurance excess: the excess and any reduction of it are set out in the rental agreement — ask the manager which level applies to your Opel.
• Delivery: the hand-over point is agreed when booking; the fee, if one applies, is set out in the rental agreement.
• Documents: licence requirements and the minimum age for the driver are agreed when booking, so raise them before the car is assigned.
• Duration: weekly from €294 and monthly from €1,029 — six and twenty-one times the daily rate, confirmed by the manager against your dates.

One practical note from our side: agree the return point in the same conversation as the delivery point. A car collected in Montmartre and returned across the river is a different booking from a round trip, and the manager needs both halves before confirming.

Rental rates for Opel car rental in Paris by class

Our six Opels split into four classes, and the daily rate tracks the class rather than the badge on the grille. Below is what each tier costs, what you get for the money, and how the weekly and monthly rates work out.

Daily rates and classes on this page

Pick the body you need first and the class second.

Weekly and monthly rates for an Opel car rental in Paris

Longer bookings are priced off the daily rate: a week is six times the day, a month is twenty-one times the day. On the cheapest car that puts a week at €294 and a month at €1,029; the Grandland works out at €552 weekly and €1,932 monthly. Those multipliers apply across the range, so you can price any model from its daily figure without asking us for a quote. What you cannot see in the arithmetic is the deposit, the excess and any delivery fee — those are set out in the rental agreement, not in the rate table.

What moves the price up or down

• Class: the jump from the €49 Corsa to the €75 Mokka Electric is the largest single step on the page; everything above that is €7 or less at a time.
• Transmission: the three automatics — Mokka Electric, Mokka and Grandland — sit in the two dearest tiers, while both manual cars are the cheapest two.
• Fuel: the only electric model is also the only car you refuel at a socket rather than a pump, which changes your running costs rather than the rate.
• Length of booking: the weekly and monthly multipliers do the work here; a single day at €92 costs more per day than any week on the page.
• Delivery point: agreed when booking, along with the rest of the terms.

In our experience the question that decides the budget is not which Opel but how long you keep it — a fortnight on the Corsa lands under a week on the Grandland, and most travellers who ask us for the cheapest option end up choosing on seats and boot space instead.

Documents and driving rules for an Opel car rental in Paris

Licence and speed rules decide whether an Opel hire runs smoothly, so we check the paperwork side before the keys change hands. The rules below are the ones that apply to French roads and to the ZFE perimeter around the city.

Which licence do you need for an Opel car rental in Paris

An EU or EEA driving licence is valid in France with no time limit and does not need exchanging while it stays valid. Visitors from outside the EU or EEA can drive on their national licence, but a licence in a non-Latin script needs an official translation or an International Driving Permit — the IDP never replaces the licence, it is shown together with it. Anyone moving to France may drive for 1 year from the entry date stamped in the visa, and must exchange the licence if they take up residence. We hand over cars to holders whose licence was issued more than 1 year ago; digital licences are not accepted. Minimum age, the young-driver surcharge, the card and the passport are agreed when booking — France has no single state norm for them.

Speed limits and alcohol rules that apply to an Opel car rental in Paris

R413-2. R413-4. R413-5.

Equipment and fines worth knowing before you leave

• Child seat: compulsory for children under 10 OR shorter than 135 cm — both conditions must be met before a seat is no longer needed, under Code de la route, R412-1 and following.
• Child-seat fine: up to €750 as a contravention of the 4th class if a child travels unrestrained.
• Winter tyres: required from 1 November to 31 March in around 34 mountain departments — the Alps, Pyrenees, Massif Central, Jura, Vosges and Corsica — covering more than 4000 communes by prefect decision: either four winter tyres or chains/socks on two driven wheels. The city and Île-de-France are not included, so the rule does not affect a booking here, but it does apply if you drive to the Alps. The fine is €135 plus immobilisation of the car under loi Montagne II.
• Carpool lane: the left lane of the périphérique between the Issy quay and porte de Bercy, both directions, is reserved Monday to Friday 7:00–10:30 and 16:00–20:00 for cars carrying 2 or more passengers; the €135 contravention of the 4th class has been issued since 2 May 2025, after the experiment that began on 3 March 2025.

In our experience the two things that catch drivers out are the child-seat rule, where both the age and the height test have to be satisfied, and the carpool lane, which looks like an ordinary overtaking lane until the camera reads your passenger count. Ask us about the licence and permit details when you book, and we will confirm what your rental agreement covers.

Insurance and deposit on an Opel car rental in Paris

Cover is not an optional extra on a French contract — the legal minimum rides along with every booking, and the rest is a question of how much risk you want to carry yourself.

What is included in an Opel car rental in Paris

• responsabilité civile: compulsory by law and included in every booking automatically — it covers injury and property damage caused to third parties within the country's statutory limits, but not injuries to the driver.
• CDW / collision damage protection: part of the base package on the French market; it caps your liability at the excess and covers repair plus the days the car sits off the road.
• TW / theft protection: also in the base package on the French market; it covers theft, attempted theft and vandalism in a car park, again up to the excess.
• Excess (franchise): a fixed amount you pay yourself after damage or theft; it is not reducible over time and follows the protection level you pick.
• What the base cover leaves out: tyres damaged by abnormal use, glass unless it broke in a collision, sunroof and panoramic roof, the underside, misfuelling and the engine damage it causes, lost or stolen keys, and damage from negligence or intent.

Raising the cover on your Opel

Rachat de franchise is the paid option that changes the picture: Medium lowers the excess, Premium removes it or brings it down substantially. The exact figure for your booking is set out in the rental agreement — it depends on the model and the protection level, and we confirm it with you before you pay. One route many drivers take instead is paying with a Visa Premier or Gold Mastercard: those cards often cover the CDW/TW excess when the booking is paid on the card and the holder is the main driver on the contract. That is industry practice rather than a written bank guarantee, so read your own card conditions before you rely on it.

Deposit and fuel policy on an Opel car rental in Paris

Caution, or dépôt de garantie, is the sum blocked on your card for the duration of the booking and released when the keys come back; the amount is set out in the rental agreement and agreed with a manager at booking. Fuel runs on the plein-plein principle — collect the Opel with a full tank, return it full, and settle any difference by the method stated in the contract. Kilométrage illimité, unlimited mileage, is worth checking model by model, because its opposite, franchise kilométrique, puts a cap on the kilometres included. Etat des lieux, the walk-round at hand-over and return, is your record if a damage claim ever comes up — photograph the car yourself at both ends, and any damage noted at the start is set out in the rental agreement.

Long-term Opel car rental in Paris

A longer booking changes the maths more than it changes the car. On this page the daily rates run from €49 to €92, and the two longer periods are calculated straight from them: weekly from €294, monthly from €1,029. Those figures come from the daily rate multiplied by six for a week and by twenty-one for a month, so the longer you keep the Opel, the less each day costs.

Weekly and monthly rates for the Opel range

• Weekly rate: the daily price of your chosen model multiplied by six, from €294 for the Opel Corsa.
• Monthly rate: the daily price multiplied by twenty-one, from €1,029 for the same car.
• Class matters more over time: the €76 Crossland and the €92 Grandland scale up on the same multipliers, so a month in a Crossover is a different budget from a month in an Economy hatchback.
• Model choice is fixed for the whole period: the Corsa, Crossland and Astra come with manual transmission, the Mokka Electric, Mokka and Grandland with automatic.
• Fuel type drives the running cost: the Mokka Electric is the only electric Opel here, the Grandland is the only hybrid, the rest run on gasoline.

The weekly and monthly rates are the only longer-period figures we publish — anything beyond that, including the deposit, the insurance excess and any delivery arrangement, is set out in the rental agreement rather than quoted in advance. If you are staying for a month or more, tell the manager your dates before the booking is confirmed, because the model you want has to be available for the whole stretch and not just the first day.

What a long booking means for the ZFE and the périphérique

A month of driving here is a month of driving inside the ZFE de la Métropole du Grand Paris, where Crit'Air 5, 4, 3 and «Non classé» vehicles are banned within the A86 ring, boulevard périphérique included. The Crit'Air 3 phase-out starts 1 January 2025, so the sticker on the windscreen decides whether your Opel may enter at all, and that sticker belongs to the car, not to you. The left lane between the Issy embankment and porte de Bercy is reserved for cars carrying two or more people, Monday to Friday 7:00–10:30 and 16:00–20:00, with a €135 fine from 2 May 2025.

Keeping the same Opel for the whole booking

In our experience the long-term questions are almost never about the car — they are about what happens on day twenty. Parking on the street in zones 1 to 11 is charged progressively rather than 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 six consecutive hours in one place. That is a running cost the daily rate does not show, and over a month it adds up faster than the difference between two models. Rent-Trip delivers the car to you and agrees the booking with a manager, so the delivery point and the return are settled before you start; the fuel policy and the rest of the terms are set out in the rental agreement.
