Renault Euro Drive short term lease

Used them several times. Experience was fine.

susan, are you, in general, asking about the european car lease experience? we are about to return our lease car in a few days time after 29 days of travel around europe. last year we also leased a car for 35 days. both citroen.we organised ours in Australia, I am guessing its much the same in the USA?

the process has been very easy both times. the only thing I can see that 'could' be an issue ( as you 'own' the vehicle) if the car is faulty ( probably not worth worrying about, as they are new) then you could have to wait around in a particular town waiting to have it repaired. compared to a hire vehicle, where they might give you another one.

otherwise we think there are real advantages in leasing a new vehicle. the other thing is our vehicles have had red coloured french number plates that do stand out as being a 'tourist'. picking up and dropping off in different cities ( we do this) is easy and not costly, when booked well in advance.
i hope this helps

I am hoping to do an extended stay trip to France next year to spend time with my daughter. I wouldn't be opposed to using another company, someone I know used Renault years ago so recommended it as an option. For kicks I put in a 2 month lease, it was $2349 and says it includes all taxes, full insurance. Seems like a good deal over a rental. Not that I can do 2 months at this point but....one can dream:)
Thanks:)

I have also had a seamless experience with them. Note that your pick up and drop off reservations may be for pretty specific times, not a wide window, since they are delivering a specific car to you, not just whatever is on the rental lot. This especially applies if you've arranged to pick or drop outside of France.

I've leased from Renault. The experience was good. I normally rent, even for longer terms, but my experience has been that renting bigger or nicer cars quickly gets more expensive than leasing. When I traveled with three kids in tow (needing a large car), leasing made more sense. When just traveling as a couple (and only needing an economy car), renting seems to be the better option.

We leased a seven passenger car (which was just about right for five people with one carry-on each). We picked it up in Amsterdam and dropped it in Rome. The agent who gave us the car was perfectly efficient (though he did have purple hair, piercings and black finger nail polish). Our biggest problem was in Rome. Fortunately, we returned the car when we arrived rather than when we planned to catch a flight out. The agent wasn't around and had to be called - we probably wasted better than an hour waiting for him to show for our appointment.

Leases come with CDW included in the price. We didn't have any scratches or bumps but it's good to know you don't have to worry about additional liability. For rentals, I used Costco Amex's CDW deal. I hope it remains available because it's a great deal (it's already limited as to what state you live in and where you're renting a car).

Anything over three weeks then lease. It is more cost effective and there are none of the rental car industry insurance issues. Peugeot also run a great option.
