Weekly car rental
Our fleet for weekly car rental in Paris holds 24 cars, from €29 a day — a week from €174. We deliver the car to you anywhere in Paris, and every booking is agreed with a manager.
What weekly car rental in Paris costs and how the weekly rate is built
Weekly car rental in Paris with Rent-Trip runs from €174 for a week, built on a simple rule: the weekly rate is the daily rate multiplied by 6. On this page we have 24 cars, and daily prices spread from €29 to €76 depending on class and model.
How the weekly rate is calculated
We build a weekly rate as the daily rate multiplied by 6, so a car at €29 a day costs €174 for the week. The same logic extends to longer stays: a monthly rate is the daily rate multiplied by 21, which puts a week and a month on one consistent scale. The two multipliers are the only ones we use, so the weekly price you see is the daily price you already checked, six times over.
Weekly prices by class
| Class | Cars | From, per day | From, per week |
|---|---|---|---|
| Economy | 15 | €29 | €174 |
| Commercial | 3 | €47 | €282 |
| Electric | 4 | €55 | €330 |
| Crossover | 2 | €75 | €450 |
What is not included in the weekly price
The deposit, the insurance excess and any delivery fee are set out in the rental agreement, not in the weekly price.
Choosing a car for a week of driving in Paris
The 24 cars on this page split by seats, fuel and gearbox rather than by badge, and the right weekly pick follows from how many of you are travelling and what you plan to carry. Rent-Trip keeps Economy, Electric, Commercial and Crossover classes on the fleet, and the specification of each model sits in the table below.
Weekly rates by class
| Class | Cars | From, per day | From, per week | Typical model |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Economy | 15 | €29 | €174 | Citroen Ami |
| Commercial | 3 | €47 | €282 | Volkswagen Caddy Cargo |
| Electric | 4 | €55 | €330 | Renault Zoe |
| Crossover | 2 | €75 | €450 | Jeep Avenger |
Small cars for two to four people
The smallest weekly option is the Citroen Ami at €29 a day — 2 seats, Electric, Automatic, 5.5 kWh — with the Renault Twingo at €35 a day for 4 seats, Gasoline and Manual. A 2-seat microcar suits a couple with light luggage and short hops between arrondissements; if you plan day trips with bags, the 4-seat Twingo costs €6 a day more and removes the packing problem entirely.
Five-seat cars for a family week
- Fiat Panda Hybrid: €39 a day, 5 seats, Hybrid, Manual, 1.0 L, 70 hp — front-wheel drive.
- Toyota Aygo X: €39 a day, 5 seats, Gasoline, Manual, 1.0 L, 72 hp — same price band as the Picanto.
- Dacia Sandero: €42 a day, 5 seats, Gasoline, Manual, 1.0 L, 90 hp.
- Citroen C3 and Ford Fiesta: €45 a day each, 5 seats, Gasoline, Manual — 83 hp and 100 hp respectively.
- Volkswagen Polo: €52 a day, 5 seats, Gasoline, Manual, 1.0 L, 95 hp.
- Renault Clio E-Tech Hybrid: €75 a day, 5 seats, Hybrid, Automatic, 1.6 L, 145 hp — the only automatic hybrid here.
Hybrid and gasoline models in this group differ by a few euros a day, so pick on boot space and gearbox rather than on price — the weekly gap between a €39 and a €45 car is €36.
Vans and crossovers for a week
Commercial vans start at €47 a day for the Volkswagen Caddy Cargo, with the Ford Transit Connect at €55 and the Renault Master at €75 for 3 seats and 2.3 L of Diesel. A panel van carries 2 or 3 seats only, so a van week is a cargo week, not a family week — check the seat count before you book, because the Caddy Cargo and Transit Connect both seat 2 and the Master seats 3.
Weekly car rental in Paris for electric and low-emission driving
The weekly rate is the daily rate multiplied by 6, so an electric week starts at €330 and a hybrid week at €234.
Electric cars in the weekly fleet
The Fiat 500e costs €59 a day with 4 seats and a 42 kWh battery, and the Renault 5 E-Tech at €69 a day pairs 5 seats with 52 kWh and 150 hp. If you want an electric crossover, the Opel Mokka Electric at €75 a day offers 5 seats, 54 kWh and 156 hp.
Hybrids and the low-emission choice
- Fiat Panda Hybrid: €39 a day, 5 seats, 1.0 L, 70 hp, Manual.
- Fiat 500 Hybrid: €49 a day, 4 seats, 1.0 L, 70 hp, Manual — a smaller body for two people and city parking.
- Renault Clio E-Tech Hybrid: €75 a day, 5 seats, 1.6 L, 145 hp, Automatic — the only hybrid here with an automatic gearbox.
- Crit'Air sticker: the ZFE de la Métropole du Grand Paris (Zone à Faibles Émissions) bans Crit'Air 5, 4, 3 and «Non classé» inside the A86, boulevard périphérique included.
- Weekly multiplier: daily rate × 6 applies to every class, electric and hybrid alike.
What the low-emission zone means for a week
The ZFE perimeter runs inside the A86 motorway, the A86 itself excluded, and takes in the boulevard périphérique along with the Bois de Boulogne and the Bois de Vincennes. Crit'Air 5, 4, 3 and «Non classé» vehicles are banned there, and the Crit'Air 3 restriction has applied since 1 January 2025. A week is long enough for the zone to matter on every trip into the centre, not just once. Confirm the Crit'Air class of your chosen car with the manager when the booking is agreed, because the class decides which streets you can use at all.
Picking up your weekly rental car and what to bring
Licence rules for driving in France
An EU or EEA licence is valid in France for as long as it stays valid, with no exchange needed. A visitor from outside the EU or EEA may drive on a national licence, and if that licence is not in Latin script you need an official translation or an International Driving Permit to go with it — the IDP is a translation only and never replaces the original. If you live outside the EU or EEA and hold a residence permit, driving is allowed for 1 year from the entry date shown in your visa, and an exchange becomes necessary once you settle. To hire, the licence must have been issued more than 1 year ago, and digital licences are not accepted. Carry the physical card: a scan on your phone will not get you behind the wheel.
What we agree with you when booking
- Agreement and payment: the paperwork, the deposit and any delivery fee are set out in the agreement, and the manager confirms the practical details with you before the week starts.
- Additional driver: a second driver is a paid option added at booking, so tell the manager at that stage rather than after the keys change hands.
- Fuel policy: plein-plein — you collect the car with a full tank and return it full.
- Crit'Air sticker: the vignette Crit'Air goes on the windscreen, and without it entry into the ZFE de la Métropole du Grand Paris is formally prohibited.
Rules that matter when renting a car weekly in Paris
A week behind the wheel here is mostly about three things: the low-emission zone, the speed limits on the ring road, and parking. Get those right and the rest of the week runs itself.
The low-emission zone
The ZFE de la Métropole du Grand Paris (Zone à Faibles Émissions) covers everything inside the A86 motorway, and the A86 itself is excluded — but the boulevard périphérique, the Bois de Boulogne and the Bois de Vincennes are inside it. The zone is enforced by the Crit'Air sticker on the windscreen, and Crit'Air 5, 4, 3 and «Non classé» vehicles are banned; Crit'Air 3 has been caught by the ban since 1 January 2025. Without a sticker, entry into the ZFE is formally prohibited.
Speed limits and the périphérique
- In town: 50 km/h, and it can be raised to 70 km/h on certain sections under Code de la route, art. R413-3.
- Ordinary roads outside town: 80 km/h, or 90 km/h on two-lane sections where the département has decided so — Code de la route, art. R413-2.
- Dual carriageways: 110 km/h; motorways: 130 km/h.
- In rain: 110 km/h on a motorway, 100 km/h on a dual carriageway, 80 km/h elsewhere.
- Visibility below 50 m: 50 km/h on every road — Code de la route, art. R413-4.
- Under three years since the test (permis probatoire): 110 km/h on a motorway, 100 km/h on a dual carriageway, 80 km/h elsewhere — Code de la route, art. R413-5.
- Boulevard périphérique: 50 km/h since 1 October 2024, phased in from porte des Lilas to porte d'Orléans and across the whole ring by 10 October, by decision of the Paris municipality, although the Code de la route would allow up to 70 km/h.
Parking, alcohol and the covoiturage lane
Street parking in zones 1–11 is not charged by the hour but progressively: 1 hour €6, 2 hours €12, 3 hours €24, 4 hours €39, 5 hours €57, 6 hours €75, with a maximum of 6 consecutive hours in one place under the visiteur tariff in force since 01.08.2021 and split into 15-minute blocks. The covoiturage lane on the périphérique — the left lane between the Issy embankment and porte de Bercy in both directions — is reserved for cars carrying 2 or more passengers. The alcohol limit is 0.5 g/l of blood (0.25 mg/l of breath), and 0.2 g/l (0.10 mg/l) for drivers within three years of the test since 1 July 2015. Keep the parking app handy and save yourself a walk back to the car.
Trips out of town with a weekly car rental in Paris
A week with us starts at €174 for an Economy car, and the vehicle is delivered to you with the booking agreed with a manager.
What a week out of town actually looks like
- Versailles: about 20 km from the centre, and the easiest day trip of the lot.
- Deauville and the Normandy coast: about 200 km west.
- Loire Valley châteaux: south-west of Paris; realistically a two- or three-day loop.
- Mont-Saint-Michel: roughly 360 km west, which is a long single day or a comfortable two.
Which car suits a week of day trips
For two people with light luggage, the Citroen Ami at €29 a day is the cheapest weekly booking on this page — 2 seats, Electric, Automatic. The Renault Twingo at €35 a day gives 4 seats with a 1.0 L gasoline engine and a manual gearbox, and the Fiat Panda Hybrid at €39 a day adds a fifth seat and a hybrid drivetrain for the longer runs. Five-seat gasoline hatchbacks fill the middle of the range: Dacia Sandero at €42, Citroen C3 and Ford Fiesta at €45, Opel Corsa and Seat Ibiza at €49, Volkswagen Polo at €52. For a family week with luggage, a Crossover such as the Jeep Avenger at €75 or the Opel Crossland at €76 a day carries five in more comfort.
Motorway costs and the rules that change outside the city
Duplex A86, the underground tunnel between Rueil-Malmaison, Vaucresson and Vélizy, is priced by hour and by day of the week. Winter tyres are compulsory from 1 November to 31 March in roughly 34 mountain departments — the Alps, Pyrenees, Massif Central, Jura, Vosges and Corsica — under loi Montagne II, with either four winter tyres or chains on two driven wheels; Paris and Île-de-France are not covered, so the rule only bites if your week heads for the Alps.
Protection, mileage and the terms of a weekly rental
What the weekly rate covers and what it does not
- Responsabilité civile: third-party cover is compulsory under French law and comes with any booking automatically, covering injury and property damage to others within the country's legal limits.
- CDW / collision damage protection: part of the standard French package, it caps your liability at the excess (franchise) and covers repairs plus the days the car is off the road.
- TW / theft protection: also in the standard package — theft, attempted theft and vandalism while parked, again up to the excess.
Mileage, fuel and the small print that catches people out
Fuel follows the plein-plein rule: collect the car full, return it full.
Base protection has gaps worth knowing before you drive off. Tyres damaged by abnormal use, glass (unless it came from a collision), the sunroof and panoramic roof, the underbody, wrong-fuel damage to the engine, and lost or stolen keys all sit outside it, as does damage from negligence.
Documents, age and what to sort out first
- Licence held over a year: our condition — digital licences are not accepted by rental companies.
- EU/EEA licence: valid in France with no time limit and no exchange needed while it stays valid.
- Non-EU/EEA licence, tourist: national licences work; non-Latin scripts need an official translation or an IDP, presented alongside the original.
- IDP: a translation only, never a replacement for your licence, and no older than 3 years.
- Minimum age and young-driver surcharge: no single national rule exists — the condition is agreed when booking.
Sort the licence question before anything else: a week of driving here is agreed around the documents you hold, and the manager confirms the rest when you book.
Making a weekly car rental booking in Paris work for you
A weekly booking is agreed with a manager, and the earlier you settle the car, the dates and the hand-over, the less there is to sort out on the day.
Booking steps that keep the week simple
- Choose the class first: Economy at €29 a day covers most city weeks; Electric, Commercial and Crossover sit higher, so decide the class before you look at extras.
- Fix the dates and the hand-over point: both are agreed with a manager when you book, so have the arrival time and the address ready before you call.
- Leave the driver details to the booking: anything about the driver, the documents and the deposit is settled with the manager, not guessed in advance.
What to settle before the week starts
Where the car is brought to you and when the agreement is arranged are both part of the booking conversation, so raise them at the same time as the dates rather than the evening before collection. If the week includes a longer run, say so when you book — a trip to Reims and Champagne or down to the Loire Valley châteaux changes what you want from the car, and the manager can match the class to it.
A week that fits how you actually drive it
Pick the car around the week you have planned, not around the headline rate, and confirm the rest with a manager before the keys change hands.
