Eiffel Tower is one of my favorite destinations and during last summer, I had a chance to take my family along to spend 10 days holidays in France. Once, Air-ticket booking and stay got confirmed, we started looking for cheap and best car rental service online. This www.121carhirefrance.com looked genuine as the terms and conditions are convincing with out of hours service, additional drivers option, extendable rental hours, child seats and roof racks etc. I started booking online and filled the first page with the details of my name, age, pick up location, drop off location, date and time slots. Once submitted I was asked to choose from a long list of car models with their size and door details. This helped me to choose the desired one as they’ve posted the picture of that particular make in every row. For extra safety, I took CDW, Theft waiver, and Vat and local taxes and airport fares for my convenience during travel. Online payment was smooth and fast and when I reach Paris Airport, I was happy to see my Estate car waiting there to take us for a jolly good ride. I strongly recommend this site to anyone who is looking for a France trip.
