KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Versailles
- Versailles is one of the most opulent and grandiose cities in Europe, with stunning political residences that deserve to be taken in at your leisure. While public transportation does exist, the municipality is larger than imagined and car hire in Versailles is a more independent way to take in attractions such as the magnificent Château de Versailles, with its mind-blowing gardens, the Hall of Mirrors, Versailles Chapel and the Royal Opera of Versailles. A stone’s throw from Paris, this beautiful part of France holds such a rich history. Park your hire car and take a horse-drawn carriage to the Trianon after seeing the main palace. Pop into the Versailles Cathedral, and if you feel like venturing into the big city, you can pop on the A86 and be in Paris in under an hour.
- You can find Versailles car hire easily at Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG). The car hire counters are based in Arrivals in Terminals 1 and 2, and here you can find many companies to assist you. These include SIXT, Hertz, Virtuo, Rentscape, Thrifty, Rent@Car and more. It’s advisable to hire a GPS and switch it to English mode if your French is a bit rusty.
- As Versailles was historically designed by a king for certain personal needs before the influx of residents, you will notice many of the streets are built in symmetrical grids that can best be described as rational and convenient. This road system has been the inspiration for newer cities over the years, as it proved to be so easy to navigate. You will enjoy using car hire in Versailles on well-maintained roads that offer good signage. The French drive on the right-hand side of the road, and you’ll need to stay under the blood alcohol level of 0.05% when driving. Driving rules are fundamentally the same as in the UK in terms of seatbelt use at all times and children being buckled up in the back of the car.
- When using car hire in Versailles, you will probably find your car hire company will give you a manual transmission vehicle, as this is the standard in France. If you feel more relaxed with an automatic, ensure you have booked one beforehand, as they are not as common. The biggest challenge on the roads of Versailles will undoubtedly be traffic, particularly if you visit from Paris. Use a GPS to detect congestion and look for alternate routes to avoid it. Sundays are the worst for traffic, as Versailles makes a great day trip and tourists come from all over the country. Keep your eyes peeled for pedestrians, as Versailles also has a lot of foot traffic.
- Book your rental car in Versailles at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Economy rental cars in Versailles are around 23% cheaper than other car types, on average
