French law requires consumer contracts in French (Loi Toubon, Article 2), so this version puts French first, with English beside it, and the renter-friendly reading where they differ.

What the France version covers

Camera fines. A company that owns a vehicle must designate the driver within 45 days for offences caught by automatic camera, or pay a heavier fine itself. The agreement says you will designate the renter.

Disputes. Every business selling to consumers must offer a free consumer mediator (Consumer Code L612-1), and the consumer can sue at home (Consumer Code).

Two wheels. Helmets and approved gloves for rider and passenger; a B licence held two years plus 7 hours' training allows 125 cc in France.

Zones and seasons. Crit'Air stickers for low-emission zones, and winter tyres or chains in mountain areas from 1 November to 31 March.

Every EU version also follows EU consumer law: prices shown with every compulsory charge included, damage charged only at its evidenced cost and never above the excess when a damage waiver applies, no keeping the whole deposit as a penalty, and the 14-day withdrawal right not applying to car rental for set dates. Fines and renter details follow the GDPR, and the renter signs on paper or electronically, both valid under eIDAS.

How to use the builder

1. France is preset in the form.
2. Add your business, vehicle, prices and deposit, or leave anything blank to write in at handover.
3. Download the Word file or the print-ready PDF. Each country version lists the public sources it was written from.

Other countries are on the main free rental agreement page. A template based on public information about local rules. It isn't legal advice: check it fits your business before you use it.
