Q:

Can I add accessories such as child seat
or roof rack? |
A:
top
|
You can choose to purchase from us, at the time of your reservation,
child seat(s). Such seats are required by law for children less than 10 years of
age. Click here to see our child seats options. You may also elect to buy such seats
locally and install them in your car yourself.
We do not offer roof racks or ski racks, we have 3 car models already equipped with
roof bars: Clio Estate Station Wagon, Megane Estate Station Wagon and Laguna Estate
Station Wagon. Racks can be bought locally and in most cases easily installed using
those bars.

Q:
|
Fuel or Diesel? |
A:
top
|
In most European countries the price of diesel can be as much as 10 to
20 percent less than that of gasoline. Diesel engines are also about 20 percent
more efficient than gasoline engines. Therefore in most countries you could end
up saving up to 20 to 30 percent on your fuel cost if you drive a diesel rather
than a gasoline-powered vehicle. Fuel prices (gasoline and diesel alike) vary from
country to country and may also be affected by local distribution networks. If you
are not already set on a gasoline or diesel option, we recommend you check pricing
and distribution options in the countries you may consider visiting, before making
your choice.

Q:
|
Can I buy the vehicle? |
A:
top
|
You may purchase your vehicle at the end of your lease.
All you have to do is contact Renault in Paris at the relevant phone number listed
in the Traveling Instructions booklet (provided with the vehicle) at least 8 days
prior to the termination of your lease. Renault will arrange for 2 weeks worth of
temporary registration and insurance (appending to the end of your lease duration)
while further assisting you in regard to financing.
We recommend however that, if you are planning such a purchase, you buy the vehicle
outright. We will be more than happy to help you with this process which offers
more flexibility than the leasing option in term of customization of the car. We
will also be able to offer you a significant discount on the list price on that
vehicle.
