I've used Auto Europe which is a consolidator and has contracts with several rental companies. The car I rented in France was provided by Europcar. Book on the AE Web site or call their US toll-free number. Unless you specifically request automatic transmission--and are willing to pay a lot extra for it--your car will have manual tramsmission. It will most likely have a diesel engine. You can rent a GPS. AE's basic rate includes liability insurance and fire insurance. Their inclusive rate includes the same plus CDW (Collision Damage Waiver and theft insurance. If your credit card provides CDW in the US, it probably will in France also. Check directly with the card provider to be sure.
