The pick-up/return locations are all in France: Paris, Nice, Ajaccio (on Corsica), Brest, Lyon, Marseille, Montpellier, and Toulouse.

  • Paris–Brest: EUR350
  • Paris–Marseille: EUR350
  • Paris–Montpellier: EUR400
  • Paris–Lyon: EUR250
  • Paris–Nice: EUR400

  • Montpellier–Toulouse: EUR130
  • Our reservation software will add such cost into the total cost of the rental.

    Long before the pick-up date, we will send detailed directions to you regarding the pick-up location. Except at Paris, you will have to make your own way to that location by taxi or by another form of transport. As for return, you will receive detailed directions upon pick-up.

    The depots are open for pick-up Monday–Saturday 9:00am–11:30am and 2pm–5pm — except Lyon and Montpellier and Toulouse, which are closed Monday morning, and except Marseille, which is closed Saturday afternoon, and except the duration July–August, when all the depots are closed Saturday afternoon and do not allow return to be booked for Saturday morning and when Montpellier and Toulouse are closed all day Monday. If you choose a morning pick-up and an afternoon return, the vendor charges for the return day; otherwise the vendor does not charge for the return day. The depots stay open another half hour, morning and afternoon, to accept returns; but the vendor prefers that return occur in the afternoon. The depots are closed holidays, but our software checks against these closures.

    Any extension of the rental duration requires prior authorization by the rental company; and no refunds are offered for early return of the rental vehicle.

    The headquarters in Paris can be reached at the following numbers: tel. (+33) 01 47 49 80 40, fax (+33) 01 47 49 80 50. (Drop the country code and leading "0" if calling from outside France.)

    At Paris only, private transport is available from/to the international airports, the Gare du Nord train station (where the EUROSTAR arrives/departs), other Paris train stations, and hotels in the city center (downtown). This service costs EUR80 each way for up to 4 passengers (EUR90 for up to 5 passengers, EUR120 for up to 7 passengers) and — if booked — must be booked upon placing a reservation. If bicycle(s) are involved, the initial figure increases by EUR40, the second by EUR60, and the third by EUR80. (Bicycles are not available for rent.) The airport meeting points for private transfer (if you have indeed booked it) are the following:

    CDG - Terminal 1: outside, at Exit 8, Arrivals level; an associate will be there holding a card bearing your name.
    CDG - Terminal 2: Avis car rental desk, "le boutiquaire" level.
    CDG - Terminal 3: exit gate just after Customs; an associate will be there holding a card bearing your name.
    Orly: exit gate; an associate will be there holding a card bearing your name.

    Relevant flight or train or hotel details are eventually required. The service is available from 8am–3pm only. Last-minute transfers to the rental depot cannot be booked; only transfers which are booked and pre-paid at least 7 days in advance will be arranged. Due to potential traffic problems beyond the vendor's control, precise pick-up times of this transfer service cannot, of course, be guaranteed. In the event a client who has pre-paid for this service takes instead a regular taxi or public transportation, said pre-payment will not be refunded.

    Alternatively, you can park your car at the pick-up location free of charge for the duration of the camper rental, although the vendor does not guarantee that there will be space for such parking and does not guarantee the security of your car.

    For non-one-way rentals, the vendor will store luggage and other valuables free of charge.
