WHAT IS A EUROPEAN CAR LEASING?
European Car Lease is a specialised vehicle leasing option designed for non-European residents planning to explore Europe for 13 to 175 days.
At France at Leisure, we have partnered with Car-2-Europe, including Peugeot, Renault Eurodrive, Citroën, and Car-2-Europe OS, to make your car leasing experience memorable. You will receive a brand-new vehicle, comprehensive insurance with no excess, and the freedom to drive through over 35 European countries, including Eastern Europe, with unlimited kilometres.
All paperwork is completed and submitted before your departure, allowing sufficient time for your vehicle to be sourced, registered in France, and delivered to your chosen pick-up location. This means you can travel peacefully, knowing everything is organised before arrival.
You can collect your vehicle at delivery centres located at many European airports, offering the flexibility to pick it up in one country and drop it off in another. Please note that picking up and dropping off outside France incurs a fee, which is included in the upfront price, while there are no fees for pick-ups and drop-offs within France, where the majority of delivery locations are situated.

RECENT TESTIMONIAL
Hello Christian
It seems that even though everything was done professionally and courteously, it felt like the service we received was more than that. After two insurance claims and a couple of general inquiries, my wife and I began to feel in our trek right through Central Europe that you had our back
On return, we received the same brilliant, personalised and professional care. At the same time, even though we’d been right through Central Europe and loved every second of it, we developed the highest love for France and the French. This was in no small way due to the way we were being treated by you and your colleagues.
I also have to thank your representative in Australia, Christian, from France, at leisure. He set the tone for what happened to us for the entire length of our contract and would happily represent him and you to any friends and acquaintances who are looking to travel to Europe.
