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.
Those pick-up/drop-off fees, where applicable, are set in the currency of your market.
Therefore we present them below in USD but we note to you here that if you reside
outside the USA these fees are typically set in another currency (e.g. CAD, AUD) and therefore
in a different amount. The IdeaMerge online order software will present these fees to you in the currency appropriate to your market.
(For the New Zealand market the currency applied is actually AUD. For the Israel and Turkey markets the currency applied is actually USD.)

The Renault pick-up/drop-off charges are listed below.
(These fees for the Renault Trafic are slightly 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.
The Peugeot pick-up and drop-off fees are additive as well, and the depots are those listed below.
Such fees for the Peugeot Expert Tepee
are slightly higher, as computed and presented by our online reservation software.
