Scooter insurance in France

Rental car insurance in France is the layer of protection around a hire car: the third party liability the law requires, the damage and theft cover built into the rental price, and the optional extras sold at the counter. Every legitimate rental in France already includes liability insurance, so the real questions are elsewhere: how large is the excess after damage, what does the standard waiver exclude, and is the protection pushed at the desk worth its daily price, or is there a better way to cover the same risk?

For English speaking newcomers there is a second layer. Many expats rent for weeks or months while a car is shipped over or while they choose their first French vehicle, and during that period the rental contract is their motor insurance: written in French, built on French concepts, easy to misread. That is the gap this page, and our advisors, are here to close.

Best French Insurance, the bilingual Generali agency in Cognac, advises English speaking residents and second home owners on every stage of vehicle insurance in France, from the first hire car at the airport to a fully insured car of your own. We read the rental small print with you, say honestly which extras are worth paying for, and plan the move from renting to owning without a gap in cover.
