I want to rent a car in Avignon. The car rentals offered through SNCF are very attractive. I can rent an economy 4 door with A/C for 3 days for 167.41 Euros. If I understand the conditions posted for this rental at the SNCF website (in French) this price includes all taxes and full insurance including LDW, liability, and theft.

Has anyone rented through SNCF and am I correct in my interpretation of the rate and were you satisfied with the experience?

Thanks for any responses.

....i have and no problems..but i had a friend (who is a Parisien) book for me so i cant really tell you about trying to book or how deposit made ect..anyway the car was fine and no hitches....

Hello, check with Nova rentacar. I have found them to have the best rate on my last three France bookings. I got a booking for a Clio with AC for 6 days including all the insurance for 207 euros in May. I also booked through them for Scotland. Have been very pleased with cars and service. They broker for lots of agencies, my last 2 rentals in Avignon were from the EuropeCar rental right in the parking lot of Avignon TGV. By the way, you can add an insurance for about 5 euros per day that lowers the deductible to about 100 euros. I am overly cautious so I opted for that also.

Hi

Another vote for http://www.novarentacar.com/

Thanks to all who replied. I am going to rent through Nova as their terms are even better than SNCF and the insurance details are more clearly defined.
