In a recent tip, Le Figaro reminds readers that saving money on car rental isn't always a good deal, and this warning has put traditional rental companies back in the spotlight. Europcar appears in the pages devoted to car rental and remains one of the most frequently mentioned names in the sector in France. Hertz, for its part, shows up in agency listings and in reminders about short-term rentals.
Sixt stands out on major routes and at train stations, while Avis remains highly visible in comparison guides and agency listings. Budget appears frequently in recent directories, particularly at train stations in the Île-de-France region, and Enterprise continues to be cited among well-known rental companies. Alternatives are also gaining ground: Getaround is presented as a less expensive option compared with professional providers, and France Cars maintains useful visibility in regional directories. Goldcar is among the good deals highlighted in Le Figaro's advice, while Free2move, a mobility subsidiary, remains relevant without being as prominent in recent news.
The car rental sector in France therefore remains dominated by a few major brands well established at train stations and airports. However, newcomers such as Getaround are shaking up established habits by offering more attractive prices, which forces traditional rental companies to justify the quality of their service.
