Good to know before you book in Argentan

A few details make the difference between a smooth rental and an expensive surprise. The headline price usually includes basic cover with a large excess; a Full Coverage add-on reduces it to zero and is cheaper online than at the desk. Suppliers block a deposit on a credit card in the main driver's name, so bring one. Choose a full-to-full fuel policy, book an automatic early if you need one (they're limited in France), and pick a free-cancellation rate while your plans are flexible.
