Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Washington Dulles Intl. Airport (IAD)?

What types of cars can I rent in Paris?
Economy, premium, full-size ... It's up to you! However, compact models are the most popular in Paris. If you want something small and cost-effective, but not too small, this category of rental car is a wise choice. Navigating traffic-filled streets will be easy in one of these. Compact cars are a little roomier than economy rides and are well-suited to solo travellers, couples and families on a budget.
