  pick-up & return sites/processes

 

Pick-up and drop-off proceed almost identically to that of a car rental. In fact, many clients report that the process is even easier because all the paperwork is already taken care of and there tends to be no line of customers waiting at the desk. At the airport locations, courtesy phones and/or reception desks are in place to connect you with a shuttle that will take you to your vehicle nearby, where an associate will introduce you to your vehicle and send you on your way. Long before you arrive you will be provided with detailed directions and contact information regarding your pick-up and drop-off locations. Sorry, but it is not allowed to pick-up or return vehicles offsite or at cities or airports not listed on this page.

All the vehicles in the tax-free short-term leasing program originate at factories in France. They are delivered piggy-back on a truck, just like a brand-new vehicle is delivered to a dealership. Indeed the vehicles are brand new. Such delivery preserves for you that new-car feel and smell. A deeper reason for such delivery is a French law that makes it illegal for a European Union resident to drive one of these tax-free-registered vehicles. (This is why special deliveries to locations other than the specific offices/garages at the cities and airports indicated on this page are not allowed.) The cost of such delivery and the return, a cost which also involves certain importation fees if the vehicle is delivered outside France, is passed on to the customer in terms of certain pick-up/drop-off charges associated with only the locations outside France.

The Renault pick-up/drop-off charges are listed below. (These fees for the Renault Trafic are higher, as computed and presented by our online reservation software.) Such fees are additive. For example, if you pick-up in Rome and return to Frankfurt, you must pay a total of US$525 in terms of such charges. If you pick-up and return in Rome, say, you must pay US$600. Our online reservation software carefully works these fees in to the total prices it quotes to you.
