FAQs
Fortunately, the driving rules for a camper rental in France are similar to other vehicles. You can drive overland to Switzerland, Italy, and other nearby countries. All you need is a driver’s license. Even though people recommend having an International Driver’s License, it’s not a requirement by law. Also, depending on your nationality, you may need a visa. Passports are an obvious requirement. Ensure you also have the campervan rental paperwork and membership documents for the camping association if you belong to one.
Generally, the minimum age requirement to hire a campervan is 21. However, some campervan rentals specify renters to be at least 25 years, and some are even 30. In some cases, primary renters who are 21 may have to pay extra because of insurance.
“le camping Sauvage,” a.k.a wild camping, refers to parking and sleeping in your campervan in France. Fortunately, it is legal to wild camp. However, there are specific conditions. Unless it is a designated camping site: 1) You must get permission from the landowner to sleep on private property 2) It’s illegal to sleep in a camper on the French coast 3) You must not wild camp in historic areas or national parks 4) French authorities can set special rules in specific locations which you must adhere to.
France has many autoroutes i.e., private roads. These roads always have signage, typically blue, so you’ll know whether you are about to enter one. If you decide to use autoroutes, you’ll receive a toll ticket upon entry. You’ll then pay at the end of your journey, depending on the distance covered.
