I'm assuming I can use one of the first two -- I picked the one that is actually coded as CDG. How far in advance should I plan to return the car before my departing flight (also out of T2B)?
Booked a compact (Peugeot 2008 automatic or similar). Curious what I may actually receive. This will be my first non-US rental.-J.
From what I can gather it has to be 2 E &F as the closest rental station has been closed until 2026 for God alone knows what. It is in my experience that worst rental station in France, The complete indifference of the staff is beyond belief and matches that of Miami. Do you know how to drive a manual gear change - as they may or may not have an automatic. The Peugeot 2008 is not what I would call compact but then I am not American. I have no idea where you are headed but if you arrive before 10.00 - be prepared for some of the worst and most aggressive driving in arguably the worst traffic jams in Europe unless it is not during the working week. If you gave us some times of your arrival and departure I could perhaps help be more precise. I would love to help if I can,
Please let me assure you that France is wonderful. Paris is not France.
