How old do you have to be to rent a car in Grand Lyon?
Grand Lyon rules state drivers must be at least 18 before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and stricter rental conditions. Most providers impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the usual car rental rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. 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.
