Airport Car Rental in Paris: Pick Up Right After Landing

Rent a Car Directly at Paris Airports

Paris airport car rental is the fastest way to start your journey without depending on shuttle buses or expensive taxis. Our counters are located in the arrivals halls at both Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Orly (ORY), open seven days a week including public holidays. Present your booking reference, driving licence, and credit card, and you’ll be on the road within minutes.

CDG is France’s busiest international hub, handling flights from over 180 countries. Our CDG counters are in Terminals 1, 2E, 2F, and 2G, covering every major airline. A dedicated parking area connects directly to the terminal via covered walkway, so you won’t struggle with luggage in the rain. Orly serves mainly European and domestic routes; the rental counter is in Orly 4, a short walk from the baggage reclaim.

Flight delayed? No problem. We monitor arrivals in real time and hold your reservation for up to three hours past your scheduled landing time at no extra cost. If your delay extends further, simply call our airport desk — we’ll adjust your booking and guarantee vehicle availability.

What to Expect at Pickup

  • Show your driving licence (EU licence or international permit for non-EU visitors)
  • Credit card in the main driver’s name for the security deposit
  • Booking confirmation — printed or on your phone
  • Inspect the vehicle with the agent before leaving the lot

All vehicles are fully fuelled at pickup. We use a “full-to-full” policy: return the car with a full tank and pay nothing extra for fuel. If you prefer convenience, our “prepaid fuel” option lets you return the car at any level — useful on early-morning flights when petrol stations near the airport may be closed.

One-way rentals between CDG and Orly, or from either airport to a downtown Paris branch, are available without surcharge. This is particularly useful if you’re flying into one airport and departing from another, or if you want to drop the car in the city before catching your train home. Book in advance during peak summer and holiday periods to secure your preferred vehicle category.
