Frequently asked questions

How do I get the best rates on a Lyon Dollar car rental?

We try to get you the lowest price, whether you reserve your vehicle. But reserving ahead of time can help you save even more. Be sure to keep the car under one driver's name and read the mileage policy to avoid any surprise fees.

Do I need to bring anything special when I get my rental car in Lyon?

You'll need to bring your driver's license and a credit card in your name.

What's Lyon's minimum age to rent a car?

Dollar's minimum age to rent a car in Lyon is 21. Some rentals, especially higher category vehicles, may have an added fee if you are under 25. Make sure to review Dollar's policies to know if there is an additional cost for you.

Is there a particular car I should get for my trip to Lyon?

That depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in Lyon. Economy or compact cars are easier to park and great for short commutes. If you are traveling with coworkers, then a SUV or mid-size vehicle is going to have enough room for all of you and provide a more comfortable ride on longer drives. Those looking for a dash of luxury on their trip can choose the premium category to get a car like a Mercedes C-Class or Audi A4 or similar.

Is insurance required when you rent a car in France?

In France you do need to have insurance before you rent a car from Dollar. Although many of the major card issuers, like Visa or American Express, give some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For example, they may not cover your rental car if you book a larger or luxury vehicle. Make sure to check credit card issuer's policy before you decide. Otherwise, as a United States citizen, you can also add on Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com at checkout.

Do I need to pay a deposit when I book my Dollar car rental?

Dollar requires a deposit when you book your rental. Dollar will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your rental for your trip to Lyon. Please be aware that the deposit can vary greatly depending on the make and model of the car.

Do I have to full up the tank before I take my car back to Dollar?

We encourage a full tank policy. You receive the car with full tank, and you should bring it back it with a full tank of gas. To avoid any added expenses, it is best to fill up your tank before you bring it back to Dollar. Stations near airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Why should I get unlimited miles?

Lyon definitely has its charms, but you may want to hit the road after you've checked off all the activities here.

Can I get a one-way rental from Dollar?

Dollar offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it easier to return your rental at another location. Be aware there may be an additional fee when you choose one-way.
