Avignon Car Rental Guide
Essential driving tips for exploring Avignon and Provence by car
Can I drive in France with my US driver's license, or do I need an International Driving Permit?
You'll need both your US license AND an International Driving Permit (IDP). French law requires an IDP for non-EU licenses, and rental companies will NOT hand over the keys without it. Get your IDP from AAA before departure ($20). The minimum driving age is 18, but most rental agencies require you to be at least 21—some luxury vehicles require 25.
How do I pay for toll roads in France? Is it better to rent a télépéage device?
Toll booths (péage) are unavoidable on French autoroutes. You'll encounter them frequently near Avignon on the A7 and A9. Payment options: credit card, cash, or the télépéage electronic tag. Renting a télépéage device costs roughly €3-5/day but saves time at booths—worth it if you're driving extensively. Otherwise, just use your credit card at the booth barriers.
I'm 23. How much will the 'young driver surcharge' cost me?
Expect to pay €25-40 per day extra for being under 25. Some agencies cap this at 10 days. If you're 21-22, expect an even steeper rate (€35-50/day) or outright refusal from some companies. Book early and compare agencies—Sixt and Europcar are generally more transparent about these fees than budget operators.
What's the parking situation in Avignon's historic center?
Don't even think about driving into the historic center (Intra-Muros). Streets are narrow, pedestrianized, and enforcement is aggressive. Use the parking garages: Les Halles (€2.20/hour, 5-min walk to Palais des Papes) or the car parks on Rue de la République. Street meters charge €1-2.50/hour and are enforced Mon-Sat 9am-noon and 2pm-7pm. Free parking exists outside the city walls—look near the train station area.
Should I worry about fuel type? What's the refueling policy?
Most rental cars in France run on diesel (gazole) or unleaded 95/98. CHECK YOUR RENTAL AGREEMENT before filling up—the wrong fuel voids your coverage. Diesel is significantly cheaper (€1.50-1.70/L vs €1.70-1.90/L for gasoline). Most agencies use a 'full-to-full' policy: they hand over a full tank, you return it full. Returning empty when you received full can cost €15-20 more than pump price.
Can I drive from Avignon to Switzerland or Monaco? What do I need?
Yes, cross-border trips are allowed with most rental agreements—confirm when booking since some prohibit it. Switzerland requires a vignette (€40/year) to use highways; you can buy one at the border. Monaco is a 2.5-hour drive via A8. Note: if your rental includes Belgium or Italy, always check—some agencies charge €10-30 for cross-border permissions.
