A one-way road trip is often more convenient and can allow you to explore more of the country. For example, a popular one-way holiday route in France is Paris to Rome via Provence and the French Riviera (Côte d’Azur) – travelling through Southern France along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea through Saint-Tropez, Cannes and Monaco.
One-way rentals may not be available between all routes, and additional fees apply, depending on the pickup and drop-off locations. Our comparison tool will automatically factor in any additional fees and show you which vehicles are available on your preferred route.

The minimum age for renting a campervan in France is 21 years old, although many companies require you to be at least 23 to rent from them. Most campervan rentals also prefer drivers to have three years of experience before getting behind the wheel of a motorhome.
