There are many things to do and many places to visit while in Paris and the best way to do it is in your own time and in your own car. If you have not brought your car over, then go in for car hire in Paris, which is available in all ranges and models.<\/p>\n<h2>Important Info<\/h2>\n<p>If you are coming from the United States, then you can use your driver\u2019s license to drive around while other international customers will be required to have an international license for driving. \u00a0Most <b>car rental agencies<\/b> encourage their customer to book online and they will give discounts when you pay ahead of time.<\/p>\n<p>US insurance agencies may also not give insurance coverage while abroad, so you many have to pay anything between 10 to 20 dollars a day for insurance while in Paris. Be careful while driving in any new place to avoid accidents and you might find that driving on the highways is easier than driving within the city. \u00a0\u00a0Avoid returning your rental cars late as some companies charge nearly a 100 Euros extra as late fee. \u00a0In case you are driving from the countryside and into the city, give at least two hours to reach your destination to avoid being late.<\/p>\n<h2>Best Car Hire Service in Paris<\/h2>\n<p>Paris is aiming to become a green city by cutting down on its carbon emissions\u00a0and so has launched Autolib&#8217; car rental scheme\u00a0which uses \u201cblue cars\u201d powered by electric motors. \u00a0All you have to do is subscribe to the program and the car is yours for as long as you need it. \u00a0However, if your stay in Paris in less than a day, then you can use the public transport system rather than investing in a car.<\/p>\n<p>If you need a car right from Paris CDG airport, which is 25 km from Paris, you can contact Sixt <b>car rental<\/b> which has three locations for hire within the airport. \u00a0You can also get in touch with Europcar which is said to have an impressive fleet if you want a regular car for rent. \u00a0You can compare rates of big companies for car hire in Paris through the online booking site of Argus Car Hire.<\/p>\n<h2>Sight Seeing Essentials<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogonautes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/\u00a9-Beboy-Fotolia.com_.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-21\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogonautes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/\u00a9-Beboy-Fotolia.com_-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Notre Dame de Paris, France\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.blogonautes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/\u00a9-Beboy-Fotolia.com_-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.blogonautes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/\u00a9-Beboy-Fotolia.com_.jpg 424w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Now that you have rented your car, it is time to drive around the city and enjoy the various sights. \u00a0When one comes to Paris, the first place that one gets to see is the Eiffel Tower and in 1991, it has become a world heritage site by UNESCO. \u00a0You can even book a table at the restaurant on the first floor called \u201c58 Tour Eiffel\u201d and enjoy a beautiful view of the city at the same time. \u00a0The tower gets nearly 6 million visitors annually and if you have not been on a tour of the tower, then you have not seen Paris at all.<\/p>\n<p>Equally famous is the Louvre Museum, which receives 10 million spectators annually and a visit to the museum can be next on your list. \u00a0The museum has an extensive collection of art from many cultures and civilizations along with masterpieces such as Venus de Milo and Mona Lisa.<\/p>\n<p>Then you can spend a fun day at the Paris Disney World with your family and you can get to see two parks with one admission ticket. \u00a0You can spend as much time as you want in the Walt Disney Studios Park. \u00a0Then you can go over to the Disneyland Park and back again to the former park if you want to by using the same ticket.<\/p>\n<h2>A few recommended websites<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>For more info on Sixt car rental go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sixt.com\/car-rental\/france\/paris\/paris-cdg-airport\">http:\/\/www.sixt.com\/car-rental\/france\/paris\/paris-cdg-airport<\/a><\/li>\n<li>To hire from Europcar the site is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.europcar.com\/\">http:\/\/www.europcar.com\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.carhireparis.net\">www.carhireparis.net<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Paris, the cultural hub of Europe, sees around 44 million visitors every year out of which 17 million happen to be from other countries.
