How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Car in Paris?
Renting a car in Paris costs on average 138.60€ per day in the high season for the cheapest car, and 229.90€ per day for a mid-range car.
During the low season, it costs 94.50€ per day for the cheapest car and 133.90€ per day for a mid-range car.
Now, let’s go into details and check how much it costs exactly to rent a car in Paris and the airports of Paris with different rental companies.
Our Study
In order to answer all your questions, we studied in detail the price differences between rental companies in the Paris region, and we took notes of multiple prices based on criteria such as:
- the type of car
- how long you rent the car
- where the rental company is located
- the price differences between low and high season
All the prices are always rounded up to the nearest euro to make it easier, and the prices are what you will pay if you book the car online. It allows a cheaper price that often has a substantial difference compared to booking on site.
Please remember that the type of car is only an indication and is only to be used as a reference. It is possible and even likely that you will drive a similar type of car and not the exact one mentioned here.
Be careful when you book your car: some rental companies might require that the driver has several years of experience as a driver. These rules vary from one company to the other.

Results
It is cheaper to rent a car in downtown Paris than to rent one directly from the airport, both in high and low seasons. Between the two airports, the average prices are similar, with only a few euros difference.
During the low season, Orly is cheaper. During the high season, Charles de Gaulle is cheaper.
Please note however that companies in Paris often have a more limited offer of available car models.
