WHAT IS A EUROPEAN CAR LEASE?
European Car Lease is a specialized 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 organized 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.
