Booking through Auto Europe Israel guarantees service in Hebrew and support before and after the rental.
Car rental companies in Paris
Auto Europe Israel collaborates with a wide range of car rental companies in Paris and throughout France, providing you with dozens of pick-up and drop-off points throughout the city and region. Many major stations are concentrated around the major transportation hubs of Paris, including train stations Gare du Nord, Gare de Lyon, Montparnasse, and Saint-Lazare, as well as Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports. In addition to these points, you'll find convenient neighborhood branches in central neighborhoods like the Marais, Champs-Élysées, and the Latin Quarter, as well as business areas like La Défense. This way, you can choose whether to pick up the car in the city center, near train or flight arrivals, or on the outskirts to avoid dense traffic — tailor the pick-up point to your route and needs.
Operating hours vary between rental companies and from branch to branch: some stations at train stations are open extended hours on weekdays but operate on a limited schedule on weekends and holidays, while airport branches generally have longer hours but not always around the clock. Before making a reservation, it is advisable to check the exact operating hours of the chosen branch and ensure they match your landing time, train departure, or travel plans, so you can receive and return the car at the most convenient time. Many branches offer after-hours drop-off via a key box, subject to availability and company policy. During peak seasons, there may be crowds, so it's advisable to book early, arrive with all required documents and a valid credit card, and plan for a little extra time for pick-up and drop-off, especially in areas with traffic congestion or emission restrictions.
Sometimes, pick-up points at train stations and airports are located in designated parking areas or in buildings adjacent to terminals, and sometimes a short shuttle to an off-airport branch is operated; it is advisable to consult the detailed arrival instructions on the booking voucher and supplier confirmation. If you plan to leave the city immediately, consider choosing a point close to the exit to the Périphérique or A1/A6 roads to save time, and familiarize yourself with Paris parking rules and low-emission zones in advance.

Tips for car rental in Paris
Planning to rent a car abroad? We've compiled four useful tips to help you choose the right coverage, prepare for security deposit, understand travel and toll restrictions, and return home without unexpected surprises. From booking to return.
Check Insurance Coverage and Deductibles
Check what is included in CDW/TP, deductible amount, and cancelation options. Ensure coverage for tires, windows, undercarriage, and understand roadside assistance policies and exclusions in countries or road types.
Prepare a Suitable Credit Card for Deposit
Most companies require a physical credit card in the main driver's name with sufficient limit and a PIN code. Make sure the card isn't debit only and understand how much will be held and when it will be released.
Plan Cross-Border Travel and Road Tolls
Check if border crossing is allowed, crossing costs, and local tolls. In many countries a vignette or toll transponder is required; inquire at the pick-up desk about purchase/activation and possible fines.
Document Car Condition at Pick-Up and Return
Photograph all sides, wheels, and interior, and compare with the damage form. Add notes as needed, keep fuel receipts close to return, and document mileage to prevent later charges.
