Peugeot car rental in Paris

Insurance, delivery and unlimited kilometres are included in every Peugeot car rental in Paris we arrange, with the car brought to the address you agree with our manager when you book. Our Paris fleet lists 7 Peugeot models, from the Peugeot 208 at €69 per day to the Peugeot 508 and the seven-seat Peugeot 5008 at €125 per day.

Which Peugeot models you can rent in Paris

Rent-Trip keeps 7 Peugeot models on this page across five classes, from the Economy Peugeot 208 at €69 per day to the 7-seat Peugeot 5008 and the Peugeot 508 at €125. We deliver the car to an agreed point, and the booking itself is arranged with a manager.

The full Peugeot line-up at a glance

The 208 is the only manual and the only Economy car on the page — if you want an automatic, book early, as 6 of the 7 models have one.

Peugeot 208 and 2008 — the small-car choice

The Peugeot 208 is an Economy hatchback at €69 per day with a 1.2 L 100 hp engine and manual gearbox; the Peugeot 2008 is a Crossover at €85 with the same 1.2 L engine, 130 hp and an automatic. Both seat 5, both run on gasoline and both are front-wheel drive, so the real difference sits in the body and the gearbox rather than in the fuel bill. The 2008 sits higher and shifts itself, which matters more in city traffic than the 30 hp difference.

Peugeot 308, 308 SW and 508 — comfort and luggage

The Peugeot 308 and 308 SW are Comfort-class cars from €85 and €92 per day, both automatic with a 1.2 L 130 hp engine; the Peugeot 508 is a Sedan at €125 with a 1.6 L 180 hp engine. All three seat 5 and run on gasoline with front-wheel drive. The 308 SW is the estate of the range — the extra length is what you notice when four people travel with cases, and it costs €7 a day more than the hatchback it is built on. The 508 is the quickest car we list, with 180 hp against 130 hp elsewhere in the range.

Peugeot 3008 and 5008 — hybrid and seven seats

The Peugeot 3008 is a hybrid SUV at €109 per day with a 1.2 L 136 hp engine, and the Peugeot 5008 is the only 7-seat model on this page at €125. Both are automatic, front-wheel drive and sit in the SUV & 4x4 class, so the choice between them comes down to seats and drivetrain. The 3008 is the only hybrid Peugeot on this page, so it is the one to pick if the ZFE sticker question worries you — a hybrid generally carries a cleaner Crit'Air class than a pure gasoline car, and the ZFE de la Métropole du Grand Paris bans Crit'Air 5, 4, 3 and «Non classé» vehicles inside the A86.

What a Peugeot rental in Paris costs

Daily, weekly and monthly rates for every class on this page, plus the lines that change the total: the class you pick and how long you keep the car.

Daily, weekly and monthly rates by class

What is included and what is agreed when booking

Peugeot car rental in Paris starts at €69 per day, from €414 per week and from €1,449 per month, and the rest of the conditions are set out in the rental agreement rather than quoted on this page. The hand-over time is agreed when booking, with a manager confirming the details before the car is handed over. Weekly is charged as six days and monthly as twenty-one, so a longer booking is where the rate per day drops rather than the headline figure changing. The seven models on this page run from the 208 at €69 to the 508 at €125, with five seats across most of the range and seven in the 5008, and both gasoline and hybrid versions available.

Is a Peugeot worth it if you stay in the centre

In the centre, street parking in zones 1–11 is charged progressively rather than by the hour: €6 for the first hour, €12 for two, €24 for three, €39 for four, €57 for five and €75 for six, with a maximum of six hours in one place. The tariff is the visiteur rate, split into 15-minute blocks, and an unpaid stay brings a forfait post-stationnement of €75 or €50 for a light car rather than a road-traffic fine. Parking is also payable through apps as well as at the horodateur. If most of your days are inside the city, the car earns its keep on the days you leave it, not on the days you park it — and on those days the 208 at €69 is the cheapest way to keep the option open.

Crit'Air, the ZFE and driving rules for a Peugeot in Paris

The city runs a low-emission zone, and every car that enters it needs a windscreen sticker. The rules decide which Peugeot you can drive into the centre, how fast you may go once you are there, and what a missing sticker costs.

The ZFE and the Crit'Air sticker

The ZFE de la Métropole du Grand Paris (Zone à Faibles Émissions) covers the area inside the A86 motorway — the A86 itself is excluded — and takes in the boulevard périphérique, the Bois de Boulogne and the Bois de Vincennes. Entry is controlled by the Crit'Air sticker on the windscreen. Crit'Air 5, Crit'Air 4, Crit'Air 3 and «Non classé» vehicles are banned from the perimeter. The Crit'Air 3 restriction has applied since 1 January 2025. Confirm the sticker class of your car before you drive into the zone — a Peugeot 208 and a Peugeot 3008 do not necessarily carry the same class, and the sticker class of each model is agreed when booking.

Speed limits and the boulevard périphérique

The default limit in a built-up area 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 the limit is 80 km/h — 90 km/h on two-lane sections where the département has decided so — under Code de la route, art. R413-2. On a road with a central divider it is 110 km/h, and on a motorway 130 km/h, both under the same article. In rain the limits drop to 110 km/h on a motorway, 100 km/h on a divided road and 80 km/h elsewhere; when visibility falls below 50 m, 50 km/h applies on every road (art. R413-4). Drivers with less than three years since passing the test (permis probatoire) are held to 110, 100 and 80 km/h respectively (art. R413-5). The boulevard périphérique has run at 50 km/h since 1 October 2024 by a decision of the city hall, introduced in stages: the inner ring from porte des Lilas to porte d'Orléans on 1 October, and the whole ring by 10 October. Code de la route would allow up to 70 km/h there.

Alcohol, children and the reserved périphérique lane

• Alcohol, standard limit: 0.5 g per litre of blood, or 0.25 mg per litre of breath, under Code de la route.
• Alcohol, permis probatoire: 0.2 g per litre of blood, or 0.10 mg per litre of breath, for drivers with under three years since the test, in force since 1 July 2015. The penalty is €135, six points and possibly a licence suspension.
• Child seats: mandatory for children under 10 years old or shorter than 135 cm — both conditions must be met for a seat to become unnecessary (Code de la route, R412-1 and following). The fine reaches €750.
• Carpool lane: the left lane of the périphérique between the Issy embankment and porte de Bercy, both directions, is reserved Monday to Friday 07:00–10:30 and 16:00–20:00 for cars carrying two or more passengers. The fine is €135, a fourth-class contravention, issued since 2 May 2025 under an experiment that began on 3 March 2025.
• Winter tyres: compulsory from 1 November to 31 March in roughly 34 mountain départements — the Alps, Pyrenees, Massif Central, Jura, Vosges and Corsica — across more than 4,000 communes, as either four winter tyres or chains or socks on two driven wheels. Île-de-France is not covered, so the rule does not apply to a rental here, but it does apply if your trip heads for the Alps. The fine is €135 plus immobilisation of the car.

Away from the ring road, the city gives the car back to you in other ways: the left-hand lane rule only bites at peak hours, and outside 07:00–10:30 and 16:00–20:00 it is an ordinary lane again.

Documents and licences for Peugeot car rental in Paris

The paperwork follows French rules, and the two things that decide your booking are where your licence was issued and how long you have held it. Bring the original document, not a photo.

Which licences we accept

• EU/EEA licences: valid in France with no time limit and no exchange needed, as long as the licence is current.
• Non-EU/EEA licences, visitor: you may drive on your national licence; if it is not in Latin script, you need an official translation or an International Driving Permit alongside it.
• Non-EU/EEA licences, resident: driving is allowed for 1 year from the entry date stamped in your visa; after that you must exchange the licence.
• IDP holders: the permit is only a translation, never a replacement — it is shown together with your national licence.
• IDP age: the international permit must be no older than 3 years.

The one-year rule and digital licences

We hand over cars to drivers whose licence was issued more than 1 year ago. Minimum age, the young-driver surcharge, and which card and passport you bring are not fixed by any single national rule — each company sets its own, and ours is confirmed when booking with a manager. If your licence was issued less than a year ago, tell us before you pay anything: no upgrade to a bigger Peugeot changes that condition, and a same-day booking will not either. Photographs of the licence on your phone are useful for your own records, but the document you bring must be the original.

Translation, permit and passport

For a licence printed in Arabic, Chinese, Cyrillic or Japanese, arrange the official translation or the International Driving Permit before you fly — an IDP is not issued at the airport. Carry your passport with the licence, since the two are checked as a pair. The deposit, the excess and any delivery fee are set out in the rental agreement, and the hand-over point is agreed when booking; nothing about those is decided at the roadside. In our experience the delay that costs people a day is the translation, not the car: a driver who lands without it cannot take the Peugeot 208 booked for the morning, and the next slot is rarely the same day.

How delivery and hand-over work for Peugeot car rental in Paris

We deliver the car to a point you agree with a manager, and the booking itself is confirmed the same way.

What we agree before the car is handed over

• Delivery point: the address or landmark where you want the Peugeot to meet you, agreed with a manager when you book.
• Time window: the hour the car should be in place, set against your flight, train or first appointment.
• Hire period: the day you collect and the day you return, since daily, weekly and monthly rates are counted from those two dates.
• Model: the Peugeot you chose, from the 208 at €69 per day up to the 508 at €125.
• Deposit and excess: both stand in the rental agreement, and we send it to you before the hand-over.
• Return: where and when the car comes back, whether that is the same point or another one you agreed at booking.

What happens at the hand-over itself

Because the booking is arranged with a manager, the person you speak to when you reserve is the person who knows your file: the model, the delivery point, the dates. The rental agreement and the fuel policy are attached to that booking, so the terms you read before the hand-over are the terms that apply to your Peugeot.

Any extra you want added is agreed when booking, not after the car has been delivered. The same goes for any change to the delivery point or the return time.

Choosing a delivery point that works

• Arrival by air: the car can meet you at the point you agreed, which matters when a flight lands late.
• Arrival by train: the same logic applies at Gare du Nord, Gare de Lyon or Gare Montparnasse — you name the meeting point, we agree it.
• Staying centrally: a hotel or apartment address in Le Marais or Montmartre works as well as an airport, provided the street allows a car to stop.
• A base outside the centre: if you are staying near La Défense or Porte de Versailles, the hand-over point can sit there instead of in the middle of the city.

The one thing worth deciding early is the return. A Peugeot 5008 with seven seats is a different car to park than a 208, and if your last day ends in the centre, agreeing a return point outside the busiest streets saves you the drive back. Tell the manager where your trip finishes, not just where it starts — the hand-over is planned around both.

Trips out of Paris in a rented Peugeot

A Peugeot 208 at €69 per day is enough for the run to Versailles or Disneyland Paris, but the longer trips west and south reward the 308 SW estate or the 3008 hybrid. Fuel is the cost that moves most between models: SP95-E10 sits at €2.183 per litre across France and Gazole at €2.414, so a hybrid SUV and a small petrol hatchback are not the same bill over 400 km. We hand the car over with the tank and the paperwork agreed at booking, and you plan the route around the tolls.

• Disneyland Paris and Versailles: 32 km and 20 km out — the 208 or 2008 covers both on a single tank, and the 5008 only earns its €125 if seven of you travel together.
• Giverny and Reims: 75 km and 145 km — the Champagne run is mostly motorway at 130 km/h, where the 508's 1.6 L 180 hp engine is the calmest of the seven.
• Deauville and the Normandy coast: about 200 km — the 308 SW estate takes four people with cases without folding anyone's knees.
• Mont-Saint-Michel and the Loire Valley châteaux: 360 km and beyond — the 3008 hybrid is the pick, and a two-day booking is charged as two days.

Tolls are where the budget quietly shifts. The Duplex A86 tunnel between Rueil-Malmaison and Vélizy, roughly 10 km, runs €8.30–€13.70 on class 1 on Monday to Thursday depending on the hour and up to €14.90 on Fridays and the eve of public holidays, and the A13 and A14 now work on péage en flux libre — no barrier, payment due within 72 hours. In our experience the mistake people make is treating a flux libre gantry as a free one. Parking is the other half: a street space in zones 1–11 is charged progressively, €6 for the first hour and €75 for six, with a six-hour maximum in one place, and the forfait post-stationnement for an unpaid space is €75 or €50 for a light car. If your day trip runs long, a car park with a daily cap beats feeding the horodateur every two hours.

Winter changes the picture for the mountain routes rather than for the city. From 1 November to 31 March, winter tyres or chains are compulsory in roughly 34 mountain departments — the Alps, Pyrenees, Massif Central, Jura, Vosges and Corsica — across more than 4,000 communes under loi Montagne II, and the penalty is €135 plus immobilisation of the car. The capital and Île-de-France are not in that zone, so a car collected here is legal on the périphérique without them, but the requirement follows the car into the Alps. If your trip heads for the ski resorts, ask about winter equipment when you book — it is not something you can arrange at the roadside, and the 208's manual gearbox is the last thing you want on a snow chain fitting in the dark.

Insurance, excess and what Peugeot car rental in Paris does not cover

Every hand-over carries the same legal base: responsabilité civile, the French third-party cover that is compulsory by law and comes with any booking automatically. It pays for injury and property damage you cause to other people, up to the statutory limits of the country. It does not cover the driver's own injuries, and the limits themselves are not published as a single number.

On top of that base, French packages normally include CDW, which limits what you owe for repairs and for the days the car sits off the road, and TW, which covers theft, attempted theft and vandalism in a car park. Both work within a franchise — a fixed excess you pay yourself if the car is damaged or stolen, and it does not disappear with the level of cover you pick. Raising the protection lowers that excess; on the top tier it can drop to zero. Because we deliver the car to you, the level of protection is agreed when booking, and the rest is set out in the rental agreement.

What the base cover leaves out

• Tyres: damage from abnormal use, not ordinary wear on a road trip.
• Glass: windscreens and windows, unless the damage came from a collision.
• Roof: the sunroof and the panoramic roof are excluded as separate panels.
• Underside: scrapes and impacts to the floor of the car.
• Wrong fuel: misfuelling and the engine damage that follows it.
• Keys: keys lost or stolen during the hire.
• Negligence: damage from careless handling, and anything deliberate.

Where the excess can be paid for you

Visa Premier and Gold Mastercard often cover the CDW and TW excess when the booking is paid with that card and the cardholder is the main driver on the agreement. That is industry practice rather than a written rule, so check your own card's terms before you rely on it. If it does not apply, the excess is what you settle — and on a Peugeot 5008 or 508, the largest cars on this page, it is the line worth reading twice.

One thing the sticker does not fix

The Crit'Air vignette is a separate matter from insurance: without it, entry to the ZFE de la Métropole du Grand Paris is formally prohibited, and no protection package changes that. The hybrid Peugeot 3008 is the model in our fleet that makes the sticker question easiest, since it is the only hybrid on this page.
