Practical Information for Your Journey
Several days before your departure, check your vehicle for any technical defects. This will allow you to avoid a possible delay on departure day and ensure you arrive on time to catch your flight stress-free.
Mandatory Vehicle Checks
This includes checking the engine oil and coolant levels, as well as the pressure of your tires. Don't forget to check the pressure of the spare tire to be ready for any eventuality on the road. When checking your vehicle, also remember to inspect the functionality of your lights.
Fuel
Whether you drive diesel, petrol, or LPG, you will find service stations everywhere in France to fill up. However, we recommend filling up in the city, where fuel is generally cheaper than on the motorway. Note that LPG is not available in all urban areas due to safety concerns.
