If you are arriving around midday book your car for about an hour after that otherwise you'll be paying for time sitting in the Rentscape office. Make sure to check the car for make and take phone pictures of any that you find for proof when you bring the car back. email copied of the pictures to Rentscape before you drive off to be safe. Make sure you check google for shop closing times. Most are not open every day, all hours like in the UK.

Don't follow Satnav directions in town centre or you will end up in pedestrianised areas! We went to Puy du Fou just outside Nantes and had a great day out, really good theme park and good value for money.
