Renault car rental in Paris

Looking for Renault car rental in Paris? We keep 10 Renault cars in the city — from the €35 Renault Twingo to the €155 Renault Trafic Passenger — and deliver the car to the address you give us, with the booking agreed with a manager beforehand.

The Fleet and Classes of Renault Car Rental in Paris

Our local fleet holds 10 Renault cars across 7 classes, from the €35 Twingo to the €155 Trafic Passenger. Every booking is agreed with a manager, and we deliver the car to you.

Every Renault Model in Our Fleet

Which Renault Suits Which Trip

• City errands for two: the Twingo at €35 — 4 seats, 1.0 L, 65 hp, and the easiest car in the fleet to park.
• Zero-emission driving: the Zoe at €55 or the 5 E-Tech at €69, both 52 kWh with automatic transmission.
• Everyday five-seater: the Clio at €69, the Clio E-Tech Hybrid at €75, or the Megane at €85 for a 1.3 L, 140 hp engine.
• Moving or delivery work: the Master at €75 — a 2.3 L diesel panel van with 3 seats.
• Family of seven: the Grand Scenic at €129, a 1.7 L automatic MPV.
• Group of nine: the Trafic Passenger at €155, our largest Renault with 2.0 L diesel power.

Boot space, not seat count, decides most family picks. A seven-seat MPV with the third row folded carries more than a nine-seater with every place taken — in our experience, groups of six or seven travelling with full luggage are better off in the Grand Scenic than squeezing into the Trafic. We hand over each Renault with a full tank, and the fuel policy is agreed when you book.

Choosing a Renault for Car Rental in Paris

Our Renault car rental in Paris covers 3 to 9 seats, four fuel types and two gearboxes, so the choice usually comes down to what your group actually needs rather than what looks best on paper.

Automatic and Manual Renaults

The Zoe and 5 E-Tech pair a 52 kWh battery with a 136 hp and 150 hp motor respectively, both front-wheel drive. The Clio E-Tech Hybrid runs a 1.6 L, 145 hp hybrid through an automatic, and the 7-seat Grand Scenic uses a 1.7 L, 150 hp diesel. Manual covers the rest: the Twingo (1.0 L, 65 hp), Clio (1.0 L, 90 hp), Captur (1.0 L, 90 hp), Megane (1.3 L, 140 hp), Master (2.3 L, 150 hp) and Trafic Passenger (2.0 L, 150 hp). In France manual is the default gearbox, and automatics sit in a smaller, pricier group — on our fleet the cheapest automatic is the €55 Zoe against the €35 manual Twingo, so if you need two pedals, book early rather than assume one will still be free.

Seats and Fuel Types Across the Range

• 3 seats: the Master panel van — commercial use, Diesel, Manual, 2.3 L.
• 4 seats: the Twingo — the smallest and cheapest car we run, Gasoline, Manual, €35 a day.
• 5 seats: the Zoe, 5 E-Tech, Clio, Clio E-Tech Hybrid, Captur and Megane — the bulk of the fleet.
• 7 seats: the Grand Scenic MPV — Diesel, Automatic, 1.7 L, €129 a day.
• 9 seats: the Trafic Passenger — Diesel, Manual, 2.0 L, €155 a day.
• Fuel types: Gasoline on the Twingo, Clio, Captur and Megane; Diesel on the Master, Grand Scenic and Trafic Passenger; Electric on the Zoe and 5 E-Tech; Hybrid on the Clio E-Tech Hybrid.
• Licence check: a 9-seat Trafic needs no special licence in France, but the luggage of nine people rarely fits behind the third row — measure your cases before you commit.

Matching the Car to the Trip

In our experience boot space, not seat count, decides most family picks: a 7-seat Grand Scenic with all rows up carries less than a 5-seat Captur with the rear bench folded.

What Renault Car Rental in Paris Costs per Day or Month

Renault hire runs from €35 to €155 per day, and longer bookings cut that figure: a week costs six days' worth, a month costs twenty-one. Every rate below is ours, agreed when you book.

Daily, Weekly and Monthly Rates by Class

The cheapest Renault in our fleet is the Twingo at €35 a day — €210 for a week, €735 for a month. The Zoe and the 5 E-Tech sit in the Electric class from €55, the Clio and the Clio E-Tech Hybrid share Economy at €69 and €75, and the Trafic Passenger tops the range at €155 with nine seats. Note the arithmetic: the weekly figure equals six daily rates, the monthly figure twenty-one, so a month of the Twingo costs less than three weeks billed day by day.

What the Rental Agreement Sets Out

• Deposit: the amount blocked on your card for the duration of the hire is set out in the rental agreement, not quoted here.
• Excess: the fixed sum you carry if the car comes back damaged or is stolen is set out in the rental agreement, and depends on the protection level you take.
• Delivery: any fee for bringing the car to you is set out in the rental agreement and confirmed when you book.
• Fuel policy: you collect the car full and return it full — the arrangement is written into the same agreement.

Read those lines before you sign.

Electric Renault Car Rental in Paris and the Low-Emission Zone

Two zero-tailpipe models join the fleet — the Zoe at €55 a day and the 5 E-Tech at €69 — and both run on electricity alone. That matters more than it used to: the city's low-emission perimeter now excludes a large slice of older diesel and petrol cars, and an electric Renault sidesteps the whole question.

Which Renaults Can Enter the ZFE

The ZFE de la Métropole du Grand Paris bars Crit'Air 5, 4, 3 and «Non classé» vehicles from the area inside the A86 motorway, which itself is excluded from the perimeter. The zone takes in the boulevard périphérique, the Bois de Boulogne and the Bois de Vincennes. Compliance is shown by a Crit'Air sticker fixed to the windscreen; without one, entry is formally banned. Our Electric Zoe and 5 E-Tech run on electricity, so they enter without a second thought.

The Crit'Air Sticker and Charging an Electric Renault

• Crit'Air vignette: the emissions sticker required on the windscreen for ZFE entry; we hand the car over with the correct class already displayed.
• Zoe: 52 kWh battery, 136 hp, automatic, front-wheel drive, five seats, €55 a day.
• 5 E-Tech: 52 kWh battery, 150 hp, automatic, front-wheel drive, five seats, €69 a day.
• Charging: both models take a standard cable; top-ups are part of the trip, not something we bill for.
• Range planning: a day in the city rarely empties a 52 kWh pack, so charging fits around sightseeing rather than dictating it.

When Electric Beats Petrol

Electric makes sense when your days run short and central — museum hops, the Marais, a dinner in Montmartre — with a socket at the hotel overnight. If your plans reach out to Reims and Champagne, Deauville and the Normandy coast, or the Loire Valley châteaux, a hybrid or diesel Renault covers the distance with fewer stops. The Clio E-Tech Hybrid at €75 sits between the two: automatic, 145 hp, and no charging to think about. Tell us your route when you book, and we will match the drivetrain to it.

Booking a Renault Car Rental in Paris with Ease

Rent-Trip hands over the car where you are staying, and the booking is agreed with a manager before the keys change hands. That covers a hotel in Le Marais as readily as a flat near Porte de Versailles — you name the point, we bring the Renault to it.

What to Have Ready Before Hand-Over

• Driving licence: an EU/EEA licence is valid in France with no time limit and needs no exchange while it stays valid; a non-EU tourist licence works too, and if it is not in Latin script you need an official translation or an International Driving Permit alongside it.
• Licence age: the licence must have been issued more than one year ago — digital licences are not accepted for rental.
• IDP validity: if you carry an International Driving Permit, it must be no older than three years.
• Card and passport: the deposit and the young-driver surcharge are set out in the rental agreement, so the amount is confirmed to you when booking rather than guessed at here.

What the Rental Agreement Covers

The deposit, the excess and any delivery fees sit in the rental agreement, and nothing on this page replaces those lines. French contracts build on three protections as standard: responsabilité civile, the compulsory third-party cover included automatically in every hire; CDW, collision damage protection, which limits what you owe after damage down to the excess; and TW, theft protection, covering theft, attempted theft and vandalism while parked, also up to the excess. The excess itself is a fixed sum you pay if the car comes back damaged or does not come back at all, and it is not reducible by arguing afterwards — it follows the protection level written into your agreement. Optional rachat de franchise buys it down: a Medium package lowers it, a Premium package removes it or cuts it substantially.

Reading the Papers Before You Sign

The excess and the fuel-policy lines are set out in the rental agreement, and they decide what you pay if the car returns marked or with the wrong level in the tank. Fuel policy in France is usually plein-plein — collected full, returned full — though some contracts bill fuel by the litre instead. The état des lieux, the walk-round inspection at collection and return, is what you compare against when the car comes back. Our part is simple: we deliver the Renault, we agree the details with you beforehand, and the rest of the terms are the ones printed in your agreement.

Choosing the Right Renault for Your Booking

• City-only driving: a Clio at €69 a day or a Twingo at €35 covers two people and short hops.
• Electric driving: the Zoe at €55 or the 5 E-Tech at €69 runs on a 52 kWh battery with automatic transmission and front-wheel drive.
• Seven seats or more: the Grand Scenic at €129 or the Trafic Passenger at €155 once the group grows.

Weekly rates start at €210 and monthly at €735, so the longer your booking runs, the lower the daily figure falls.

Driving a Renault on Your Car Rental in Paris Trip

Street parking inside the first eleven arrondissements is priced by the hour on a rising scale, not a flat rate, and the meter only covers the first six hours.

What Street Parking Actually Costs

• Zone 1 (arrondissements 1–11): €6 for one hour, €12 for two, €24 for three, €39 for four, €57 for five, €75 for six.
• Maximum stay: six consecutive hours at one spot.
• Beyond six hours: you must move the car — the meter will not sell you a seventh hour.
• Unpaid parking: the forfait post-stationnement applies, €75 for a light vehicle, and it is a parking charge, not a road-traffic fine.
• Zone 1 covers the centre: the same scale runs across the arrondissements where most of the city's sights and hotels sit, so a day of short stops adds up quickly.

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

One practical note from our own hand-overs: keep the parking receipt with the car if you park in Zone 1, since the terms of the rental agreement cover how a question about parking is settled later.

Insurance and Protection on Your Renault Rental

In France, responsabilité civile is compulsory by law and comes with every Renault booking in Paris automatically. It covers injury and property damage you cause to third parties within the country's legal limits — it does not cover injuries to you as the driver. On top of that legal floor, French packages normally include collision damage protection (CDW) and theft protection (TW), both of which limit your liability to an excess rather than removing it.

What the Package Covers — and What It Does Not

• responsabilité civile: third-party cover, mandatory, included in every booking; covers damage and injury you cause to others, never your own.
• CDW (collision damage protection): limits what you owe for repairs and vehicle downtime after an accident, but only up to the excess.
• TW (theft protection): applies to theft, attempted theft and vandalism while the car is parked — again within the excess.
• Not covered: tyres damaged by abnormal use, glass (unless from a collision), sunroof and panoramic roof, underbody, wrong-fuel damage to the engine, lost or stolen keys, and damage from negligence or intent.

The Excess and How to Reduce It

The exact amount is set out in the rental agreement. Two paid options change it: Medium reduces the excess, Premium removes it or cuts it substantially — this is rachat de franchise.

Deposits and Hand-Back

Fuel policy is usually plein-plein: you collect the car full and return it full. The état des lieux — the walk-round at pick-up and return — is where any pre-existing mark gets recorded, so look at the car before you drive off, not after.

What to Do If Something Happens

• Stop safely and secure the scene: hazard lights on, warning triangle out, and never move an injured person unless there is immediate danger.
• Report the incident: note the location and whether anyone is hurt, and keep the details for the claim.
• Complete a constat amiable: the joint accident report both drivers sign on the spot — without it, fault is far harder to establish later.
• Photograph everything: positions of the cars, damage, road markings, the other driver's plate and insurance details.
• Tell us the same day: report the incident to the rental company as soon as you can, with the location, the other driver's details and photographs of the damage.

A drink-driving offence costs €135 and six points, and any damage caused while over the limit sits outside your protection entirely — you pay it in full.

Practical Conclusion for Renault Car Rental in Paris

Ten Renault models, seven classes, €35 to €155 a day — the range covers a solo driver in a Twingo and a nine-person group in a Trafic Passenger without a single gap in between. What decides the pick is rarely the badge on the bonnet. It is seats, gearbox and what the car has to do on the day.

• City driving for two: the Twingo at €35 or the Clio at €69, both manual, both easy to leave in a Zone 1 street bay.
• Automatic and electric: the Zoe at €55 and the 5 E-Tech at €69 run on electric power and need no gear changes in périphérique traffic.
• Families past five seats: the Grand Scenic at €129 with seven seats, or the Trafic Passenger at €155 with nine.
• Loads, not people: the Master panel van at €75 takes three up front and cargo behind.
• Long stays: weekly works out at six days' rate, monthly at twenty-one — €210 and €735 at the entry price.

Two things catch people out. The first is the low-emission perimeter inside the A86, where a Crit'Air 5, 4, 3 or unclassified vehicle is barred and a windscreen sticker is compulsory. The second is the excess — the fixed sum you carry yourself after damage or theft, whatever the class. Both are settled before you drive, not after.

We deliver the car to you and agree every booking with a manager, so the model, the dates and the hand-over details are confirmed in conversation rather than assumed. Anything the agreement sets out — deposit, excess, delivery fees — is worth reading on the day it reaches you.

Book the Renault that matches the trip, not the one that looks best in a photograph. A five-seat hatchback for four adults and a week of luggage is the most common mistake we see; the Crossover at €81 or the Megane at €85 costs little more and ends the argument at the boot.
