Do I need insurance to rent a car in Paris?

Before you drive off

• Check out the vehicle and make sure there is no damage or scrapes. Be sure to make note of it on the paperwork, or you may get charged for it
• Make you have a properly inflated spare tire, lug wrench, and jack in the trunk
• Get familiar with the controls of your car. Adjust the mirrors and seats, and note how to turn on the lights and windshield wipers
