Practical Information for Your Journey: Vehicle Care and Safety
Before setting off, verify the condition of your vehicle. It would be highly inconvenient if a technical fault caused a breakdown en route and you missed your flight. Once you are satisfied, all that remains is to head to the airport on the day of departure and check in comfortably.
Pre-Trip Checks
Among other things, check your fluids (engine oil, coolant, etc.). You should also check the pressure of your tires, including the spare tire. We also recommend checking the proper functioning of all your lights.
Fuel
Whether you drive petrol, diesel, or LPG, you can find these fuels anywhere in France. Fill up first in an urban area before getting onto the motorway. This will allow you to save money on fuel prices. However, note that LPG is not always available in city centres for safety reasons.
