How to find a cheap car hire deal in Saint-Denis

  • Pick up a cheap rental car in Saint-Denis and start your adventure for around 109 € a day. From solo rides to family outings, we'll help you find a rental that keeps up with your trip.

  • Consider this your cheat code for when to book. Three weeks in advance gives you better odds at securing the best price on a Saint-Denis car hire.

  • Get behind the wheel with Final Rentals, Ace Rent a Car or Goldcar. They're some of the most reliable providers in the city.

  • Check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Saint-Denis car hire policy, whether you book with Final Rentals or another supplier. Some companies might not include it in the base price and instead sell it separately.

  • Booking one-way could snag you a bargain on your rental. Providers sometimes offer lower rates when vehicles need to be moved between branches. Simply click 'Return car to a different location' when searching the range of cars for rent in Saint-Denis.

  • Spend less on fuel by choosing a vehicle that offers a 'Fair fuel policy.' You collect the car with a full tank and return it full, so you only pay for what you use.

  • Hit the highway without watching the miles and racking up extra charges. Go to the 'Policies' filter and choose 'Unlimited mileage' to find a car that lets you explore further.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Adding excess insurance to your Saint-Denis car hire offers peace of mind. It protects you from paying a hefty excess fee in case of theft or an accident. Insurance policies aren't the same across all rental providers, so compare before you book.

  • From navigation systems to mobile Wi-Fi, the right extras can totally transform your drive. Consider which features will help you make the most of your trip when you rent a car in Saint-Denis.

Good to know

  • Check each provider's age requirements before booking your car hire. Rules can differ, and added fees or restrictions may apply if you're a younger driver. At the start of your search, uncheck the 'Driver aged between 25–70' filter and enter your age to explore your options.

  • If you're going away with the kids, check if you should add a car seat to your Saint-Denis car hire reservation. Whether local laws require them or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to ride.

  • You'll need some documents when you pick up your ride. As a general rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough funds to cover the excess (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and additional photo ID. Your booking will lay out the exact list.
