Take hire car abroad

dutchcloggie

Hello,

I am planning a trip to the Alps and I am planning to fly to Turin, rent a car and drive to Les Arcs. I am about to book the rental car but now I am not sure I will be allowed to take the car from Italy to France or will I need a special insurance for doing this?

*confused*

You shouldn't have a problem crossing borders, but check with the T&C of the hire company first, and check if there's a daily mileage allowance. Are you returning the car to Turin?

Yes I am.I didn't think there would be a problem but I just wanted to check before I base my entire holiday booking on being allowed to do it :-)

Thanks.

Don't worry about it, there's effectively no borders and hire firms don't usually mention any restrictions.

Ah, the joys of being part of the European Union. Oh wait... Never mind ;-)

Check with the hire company there are some that don't allow cross border travel. I've had one before that didn't allow Spain/France border crossing but Spain/Portugal was fine.
