You can trust us to make your rental experience simple and hassle-free. Our fleet ranges from compact vans to large trucks so you can choose the right vehicle for your load, whatever that may be.
If you need to collect a purchase that just won’t fit in an average-sized car, the Renault Kangoo, Citroen Berlingo or Peugeot Partner might be just what you need. Moving a large piece of furniture? The Peugeot Boxer or Mercedes Sprinter is the answer. And for the biggest jobs, like moving house, you’ll be wanting the Iveco Daily. The choice is yours.
Van driving tips in France
Never driven a truck in France before? Don’t worry, here a few things to remember:
- You must drive on the right hand side of the road.
- Speed limits are: 50km/h in built-up areas, 80km/h outside built-up areas, 110km/h on urban motorways and dual carriageways separated by a central reservation, and 130km/h on motorways.
- If you need to drive in or through a city it’s a good idea to avoid peak times when traffic will be at its busiest.
- Plan your route in advance and make sure it doesn’t include any roads that are unsuitable for large vehicles.
- Be aware of the height of the vehicle and check it will fit under any structures such as low bridges or car park entrances.
- A large truck may need a bit more space for turning than you’re used to so be sure to allow for this when parking and manoeuvring.
- Slow down, particularly in windy conditions.
- Carrying a heavy load can affect braking and acceleration so make sure you allow for this.
It’s also useful to know that you can dial 112 from anywhere in Europe and an operator will connect you to an emergency service in the country you're visiting.
And that’s it – now you can be on your way. Bon voyage!
