Long-term car rental in France

Yes, and, generally speaking, the longer the rental, the lower the daily rate.

For example, supermarket SuperU advertises rentals for six months from €5 a day.

Europcar and Avis are among many firms with such deals. Comparison sites such as rentalcars.com and rentacar.fr can be helpful to track down a bargain.

Watch out for hidden extras, though, such as usage allowance and insurance conditions.

Insurance will cover third-party damage but the excess may leave you liable for as much as €1,000 of damage to the vehicle.
