While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to specialty and premium cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Grand Lyon?
The essentials are your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of alternative coverage if you choose to opt out. Make sure you check with your rental provider to avoid any problems.
What side of the road do you drive on in Grand Lyon?
