Driving Tips and Rules in France

When driving your rental car in France it is important to remember that the rules of the road may differ to those of your own country - especially for those coming from the UK. When you hire a car in France from Sixt, firstly remember that you must drive on the right-hand side of the road and overtake on the left. Other imperative rules include:

✔ Carry two NF certified breathalysers, as an unused one must be produced upon request

✔ Reflective jackets and a warning triangle are also compulsory

✔ You must not carry any device capable of detecting speed cameras; this feature and warning system on SAT NAVs must be disabled

✔ The speed limit on motorways is 80 mph (130km/h) and in urban areas it is 31 mph (50km/h)

The above are just a few of the unique points to remember when driving your car hire in France. To further assist you during your time in France and to ensure your safety we have produced a full set of guides for driving in different countries, including driving tips in France.
