There was no information on

There was no information on the page that at arrival one has to contact the rental company. Or I can say the description was wrong with telling the client that the rental company is at the terminal. This way one has to figure out how to get the car, where is wheego by asking several people in the terminal and in front of the building which costs a lot of time and causes stress.

I was supposed to receive

I was supposed to receive an extra mail after the confirmation for happycar.com which was supposed to contain more detail about my booking but never came in the end. Arriving to Brussels airport, I wasn't even 100% sure about which rental company I chose. Since the mail from Buget didn't came, I guess I'm not the only one to whom this happened, it would be great that the mail from happicar.com would contain a little summary about what was select on happycar.com at booking time (at least the actual rental company's name and maybe the model chosen)

France attractions and Travel Tips

Why rent a car in France?
For good reason, Paris, the capital of France, is one of the world's most popular tourist attractions. Fine food, culture, and wine combine to make for a luxury destination. There is far more to the country than simply Paris, however. Read on to find out more about why hiring a rental car in France is the way to go.
 
Choose a company like HAPPYCAR for the best car hire in France. We have the cheapest car hire in France. We advise booking ahead to secure your vehicle of choice. From cheap car rentals in any major French city to cheap car rentals in Denver, cheap car rentals in New Orleans, and beyond, we offer reliable car hire worldwide.

Access to the internet - that's all it takes to bring your car rental in France closer. Thanks to the HAPPYCAR service, you can choose between the different car rental suppliers' products. What makes our service unique is the comparison of car rental prices and additional add-ons.

  • Additional driver
  • Glass and tire insurance
  • Roof and chassis insurance
  • The best fuel policy
  • Automatic or manual
 
Rent a car in France - What's important to know?
1. Can I rent a car without deposit?
A deposit in the form of a credit card block is required to rent a car in France.

 
2. How can I take out insurance?
During your search, choose an Excellent Offer, where you fully cover your excess. Any damage costs will be reimbursed to you by the provider in accordance with their terms and conditions.

 
3. What documents do I need to pick up the rental car?
Every car rental company in France needs the following documents from you: 
  • ID/ passport
  • Driving license
  • Credit card
  • Your car rental voucher
All documents must be issued in the name of the main driver.

 
What to do in France?
For flexible traveling in France, car hire is strongly recommended. It is a large country and many attractions are far apart. Whether you arrive by train or plane, you can hire a car directly from major airports, such as cheap car rentals from the Bordeaux/Mérignac Airport BOD. Cheap car hire in France allows you to see most of the country. France is great for road trips. It features charming country roads and a particularly sunny southern coast that is lovely for driving, especially in the summer.
 
Paris is a great destination, but far from the only one in France. To see it all, we recommend cheap car rentals in France. There is a lot on offer depending on your preferences. Wine fans will love the vineyards dotted around the country. Those who love the beach and marinas will be at home in the sunny south. Skiers and snowboarders have plenty of pistes in the French Alps to play on. Albi, Bordeaux, and Avignon feature UNESCO World Heritage Sites. 
The size of the country surprises many. That's why car hire in France is so important. Many of the top destinations are spread out. Fortunately, rental cars in France are cheap, and it's an excellent country for a road trip.
Road trips are a great way to experience French culture. A lot of French cuisine is rooted in the country's lifestyle. From the vineyards to the farmyard, there is plenty to see. Plus, staying at quaint cottages and homesteads along the way is part of the experience. It's also a chance to properly interact with the locals and practice your French.
