Despite the name, Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) is located 14 miles outside of Paris. As such, a car hire at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport makes perfect sense for anyone who is eager to get started right away on their holiday, or those headed to further regions of France. The airport is directly connected to Autoroute A1, which connects Paris all the way to Lille in the northern end of France. Normally, it takes less than an hour to get to the centre of Paris from the airport.
Driving in France is generally a pleasure for anyone used to British and European cities. Traffic moves freely on the main network, and although the busiest motorways like the A1, A10 (Paris to Bordeaux) and A6 (Paris to Marseille) can see congestion, traffic lightens considerably after 20:00. Alternatively, Bis routes, the equivalent of British HR holiday routes, can be used to circumvent traffic during peak hour traffic when you spot signs directing you.
Car hires at Paris Charles de Gaulle are straightforward and simple. The airport makes it very convenient to hire a car, as most car rental agencies have offices in Terminal 1, Terminal 2ACD, 2E, and 2F. The car hire counters are usually close to one another and there are helpful and friendly staff there to help you organise the collection of your car as well as answer any questions.
As Charles de Gaulle Airport is Europe’s second busiest airport in terms of passenger numbers, planning when to return the car can be useful. Rush hour at most airports tends to be mid and late mornings, as well as the late afternoon and early evening. If possible, try to return your car in the early afternoon to make use of the lull in foot traffic to and from the car rental desks.
25% of our users found a car hire at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport for $72 or less
Book your car hire at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport at least 4 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price

What kind of amenities are offered at the Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport car hire offices?
Since the car hire agencies have their offices within the airport terminals you will have access to all the same amenities of the airport. This means comfortable seating, restaurants and cafes, toilets and baby-care facilities, children’s play areas, business workstations, and even a lounge for listening to music and another for watching films, all free of charge.
What do I need to take with me for my car hire at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport ?
Naturally, you need your driver’s license with you to legally drive a car, and an International Driving Permit will be required if the licence is not in the Roman alphabet (languages such as Arabic, Greek, Russian or Chinese). You will have to be at least 21 years old to hire a car, as well as a valid full driving license, held for at least a year by the start of your rental. Additionally, a surcharge applies for drivers under the age of 25. Certain vehicles will be restricted to drivers of a certain age or older. Make sure to have a debit or credit card with you as a hold needs to be put on for potential charges.
How do I drop off my rental car at the airport?
When it’s time to leave, returning a car at the airport couldn’t be simpler. You will either need to return the car to one of the parking spots in the area from where it was taken, or the signed returns area from your chosen supplier. The car will be checked to make sure it's in the same condition as it was when you picked it up, and that the fuel tank is full. Agency staff will then collect the keys. If you are returning the car out of usual hours, there will be a drop-box for you to return the keys after parking in the designated area.
How much does it cost to rent a car at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport?
On average a rental car at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport costs $102 per day.
Which car rental companies will pick you up at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport?
Car rental companies that offer shuttle or pick-up services from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport to off-airport locations include keddy by Europcar, Hertz, Budget, and Avis.

I reserved a gas engine car but got assigned an electric car or gas car in the confirmation. The electric car class is $200 cheaper in the reservation page. I paid more but SixT purposely sneak in a cheaper product. I tried to contact them and got very rude response. They refuse to admit their mistake and charged me three days of rent + tax for cancelling a reservation due to their fraud presentation. SixT is a fraud and a very rude company. I'm glad I only lost $200 and dumped SixT.

I chose to have full insurance coverage when booking and prepaying for the car. The reservation on the Sixt App showed that collision and theft coverage were included but upon arrival the agent said that her system does not have it included and that I would have to pay $40+/day to get collision and theft coverage. She said I only had 3rd party liability. I showed her the reservation that clearly said "collision and theft coverage included" and she said that it was not showing that on her side so it was not included. I did not add the insurance and probably would have had a major fight if I would have needed to use the insurance.

Got a WAY smaller car than we were supposed too, it did not fit our luggage and kids. It smelt AWFUL in it. Charged me $400 after the fact with no explanation, no bill, no breakdown of why. The car was clean, and virtually sat on a driveway for 10 days minus the drive to and from the airport (5 hours each way). Horrendous pick up service.

Pick up and the airport was great. Staff very friendly and helpful. We had more luggage than expected to had to size up. Car was dirty which made condition difficult to assess. Luckily I took photos as they went over it with a fine tooth comb at drop off. My son was a little sick in the car so they charged for cleaning. Fair enough but £135 felt like a lot for what was probably going to be 5 mins with bucket of hot water.
