Hello! Order number 221685959. We plan to drive from France to take the ferry across the English Channel to London, then from Newcastle in northern England to take the ferry across the North Sea to the Netherlands, and then return to Paris via Belgium. Are there any special restrictions or mandatory insurance requirements for this itinerary? Are there any special requirements for drivers at the ports in England and France? How do we pick up the car after arriving at Charles de Gaulle Airport? Our flight is 'MU569', please inform the car rental company in Paris. Can I drive if I was born on October 5, 1987? Is there an additional fee? What are the dimensions of the luggage compartment in the car (length x width x height)? Also, how much deposit do we need to prepay with a credit card for the car we are renting? Thank you!

Hello, We have confirmed with the car rental for you that the vehicle can be driven to the UK without any special requirements and no need to purchase additional mandatory insurance. You can go directly to the AVIS counter in the CAR RENTAL area at TERMINAL 2 of Charles de Gaulle Airport to complete the pick-up procedures. Please prepare the following documents: your passport, your driver's license and an English notarized document (or International Driving Permit), your credit card, and a printed English electronic pick-up voucher. We will transmit your flight number (MU569) to the pick-up counter and generate a new electronic pick-up voucher, which will also indicate the flight number. After the new electronic pick-up voucher is generated, you will receive an email notification. At that time, please print the new pick-up voucher (Voucher). Drivers under 25 years old will be charged an additional 'young driver fee' by the car rental company, 32.5 euros/day, capped at 325 euros. The luggage compartment volume of this car model is 435 liters. The credit card pre-authorization for this car model is 1300 euros. Thank you.

We arrived in Paris on the 13th and stayed for 6 days, then drove to Fontainebleau, Lyon, Nice, Monaco, Genoa, Florence, and arrived in Rome yesterday. We were on edge the whole way... First of all, the temperature here is not hot. The wind is quite cold. We have to wear down jackets and woolen hats to keep warm. It is not recommended to drive in the city of Paris. It is difficult to find parking spaces on the road surface. The entrances and exits of underground parking lots are too narrow and difficult to find. Navigation mainly relies on the map built into the Apple phone, which is actually a collaboration with Tom Tom and is very accurate. The maps we downloaded at home are not very reliable, including Google Maps. We were misled several times, even guided to a snow-covered mountain road at night. Maybe it's because we didn't enter the address accurately. Remember to enter the postal code of the region. Google Play needs to be installed to have offline maps, so you must have wireless WiFi. The high-speed rail here is very fast. France is 130 and Italy is 110. I think this is the lowest speed. There will always be cars following me to drive. After all, the car company gave me a top-of-the-line Mercedes-Benz E200 station wagon, black German license plate, which is too eye-catching. This caused me to park in the underground garage and dare not park on the road, for fear that my car windows would be broken and my bag would be stolen. All overtaking must be done from the left side, and then the left lane must be given up. It is forbidden to occupy the left lane for a long time. Right-hand overtaking is strictly prohibited, which is very dangerous! Highways need to prepare some 50, 20, 10, 5, 2, 1, and 0.5 euro banknotes and coins in advance. Do not enter the electronic payment channel by mistake. France and Italy have many dark tunnels that are relatively narrow. Overtaking and turning do not slow down. It feels like you're driving a race car, so small cars are popular here. Their control performance is good. Remember not to rent big cars! My Mercedes-Benz is too long, and the city control is really a bit difficult. Those streets, tunnels, and parking lot passages are really narrow! Bring fewer luggage when you go out ? France Q&A

I rented a car from France's InterRent in June and was fined 35 euros for speeding.

May I ask if the 300 euros charged on the first day of picking up the car will be refunded? He said it will be refunded if nothing happens, but from your chat content, it feels like it's up in the air! Also, for another order, 90 euros of prepayment for fuel was charged first, and this was refunded, but 1200 euros were frozen, saying it will be refunded if there are no violations. It will take 30-60 days. Will this really be refunded ? France Q&A
