With French tax-free short-term auto leasing …
  • You get a specific* brand-new, factory-fresh vehicle
  • unlimited kilometers
  • zero-deductible collision/fire/theft insurance effective in some 30 countries
  • 24/7 toll-free English-speaking phone assistance
  • 24/7 roadside assistance Europe-wide
  • full factory warranty
  • one-ways are no problem: pick-up in one country and return in another
  • no hidden or last-minute charges
  • It's all virtually as easy as a car rental — and in some important senses easier.
  • We welcome you to peruse (and eventually add to) our customer reviews.
  • You pay entirely upfront (usually 30 days ahead of the pick-up), the amount being only the difference between the implicit purchase and repurchase prices.
  • No taxes will apply. (In contrast, so-called value-added tax — ranging up to 20 percent and more — must be paid on all car rentals in Europe.)
  • No airport pick-up/drop-off surcharges apply. Although there are delivery/return charges associated with locations outside France, our online software factors those charges into the exact cost it computes. Depots are present throughout France and in England, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Switzerland.
  • No additional-driver charge(s) apply.
  • No security deposit required. On the pick-up occasion just show your drivers license, passport, and contract copy; no money changes hands; no credit card blocks or charges.
  • Such lease is a sure way of getting a super-high-fuel-economy diesel vehicle. (Diesels in Europe cost 30–40 percent less to keep fueled than do their gasoline-powered counterparts.)
  • No maximum customer age applies; and the minimum age is 18 years (if you've had your valid, non-provisional driver's license for at least one year). Rental companies, in contrast, typically require customers to be no older than 70 years, and at least 23, or even 25.
  • No first-service required until a very high threshold; for instance 15,000 or 30,000 km (9000 or 18,000 miles,) depending on the vehicle.
  • You can buy the vehicle outright at the end of the lease, if you like. Click here for details about this option.
  • You earn at least 2000 Air France / KLM "Flying Blue" miles per lease.

  • Renault and Flying Blue are proud to introduce the Renault Eurodrive rewards program which allows you to earn 2000 miles for any Eurodrive booking and, until December 31, 2010, an extra 2000 Miles for any such booking of more than 50 days.

    To get your miles, simply follow the instructions below:

  • When making your reservation on the IdeaMerge website, enter your Flying Blue member number in the Flying Blue field (when you enter your personal information).
  • The Eurodrive booking and the Flying Blue Card must be in the same individual's name.
  • When eventually sending us your documents (signed contract, Declaration and Power form, passport copy, etc.), include a copy of your Flying Blue Card.
  • That information will then be transmitted to Renault / Flying Blue and your miles will be directly credited in your account after delivery of your car.

    We know the above list is long and generally seems too good to be true, so here's an explanation of the market forces that really do allow it to be true: the why and how.

    safety

    Renault is the only automaker to receive Euro NCAP's maximum 5-star safety rating on at least 12 models, including the Clio, Mégane, Mégane coupe/convertible, Scénic, Laguna and Espace. With major technological innovations in accident prevention and vehicle occupant protection devices, Renault strives to provide the same optimum safety level for both front and rear seat passnegers. See in this respect the Euro NCAP Website. By the way, have you heard about the alliance between Renault and Nissan? And do you know about Renault's Formula 1 team?

    warning

    Although motor travel in Europe is not generally considered prohibitively dangerous, there are, of course, associated risks — including death. For quantitative measures of these risks, please see the Association for Safe International Road Travel (ASIRT) http://www.asirt.org.

     
    * Per the pick-up and return dates and locations you submit, the vehicles shown by the IdeaMerge reservation request software are presently available for booking, according to the manufacturer. However, there’s a slight chance that such availability will change between now and the time IdeaMerge attempts to book a reservation request. (The shorter the leadtime the greater that chance.) In that case we would contact you straightaway to discuss the alternatives. Of course you would be under no obligation to accept one of those alternatives.

    One of the prime benefits of a French tax-free short-term auto lease in contrast to an auto rental is the precision such lease arrangement affords to you in procuring a vehicle. Which is to say, such lease contract stipulates a particular vehicle in terms of make, model and certain features (as presented on this Website) and effectively ensures that said particular vehicle will indeed be delivered to you unless the naturally ineluctable force of circumstances causes such vehicle to be actually unavailable for delivery to you on your contracted pick-up date, in which case another new vehicle reasonably considered equivalent (but not identical) to the stipulated vehicle will instead be delivered to you for your use until the contracted drop-off date. The very close temporal connection between the manufacture and delivery of these lease vehicles is what makes the aforementioned, remarkable precision of selection possible, but it likewise makes the delivery of such vehicles sensitive to circumstances such as labor strikes, vehicle recalls and natural disasters, i.e. to the veritable force of circumstances. Truly rare are the circumstances which make said replacement necessary, but they are a natural element of the industry.
