SIXT Car Rental in Paris
With many convenient locations and English-speaking branch agents, booking a car rental in Paris with SIXT is straightforward and easy. Whether you’re in town to catch a glimpse of the Eiffel Tower or experience the romance of a Parisian café, a SIXT rental car in Paris is the best way to travel in “the City of Love.” From short to long-term rentals, we offer premium vehicles at economy prices, including compact cars for navigating the city streets, station wagons, SUVs, sedans, and multi-seater vans for large parties.
Driving Tips for Paris
Make the most of your SIXT car rental in Paris with our rules for the road:
- Bus Lanes: Stay clear of the bus lanes because they’re only for buses, bicycles, and taxis.
- Pedestrians: When you see someone walking along the road, give them lots of space. Pedestrians in Paris are known for walking decisively through traffic, sometimes without looking.
- Speed Limits: Within the city, expect speed limits of 50 km/hr (30 mph). However, the speed limit reaches up to 130 km/hr (80 mph) on the motorways.
- Roundabouts: Normally you should yield to cars already in the roundabout, and stay in your lane until you reach your exit. However, some roundabouts in Paris give priority to vehicles entering the traffic circle.
- Parking: Consider pre-booking a parking space in a garage online if you want to park in the city center.

Usually, you will drop off your car at the branch where you picked it up. However, you can also decide to drop it at another branch, e.g., in CDG if you want to use your car to go to the airport. But to do so, you have to specify the return location during booking!
