Driving Your SIXT Electric Car in France

We offer electric car rental in France in multiple locations including Paris, Lyon, and Monaco. Driving an electric vehicle has a definite advantage in this country, as several cities have either “traffic restriction zones” (ZCR) where the traffic is permanently restricted. There are also “air protection zones” (ZPA) that can impact a large area but are only valid for a few days at a time when air quality is bad. But in a zero-emissions vehicle you can enter these zones with no problem. That means you can drive from Paris to Nantes and the coast, from Lyon to Bordeaux, or from Monaco to Cannes or Marseilles. Just be sure to find out where EV charging locations are along your route before starting your journey.
