Clear all filtersA Nissan rental in Paris usually means one of the brand's crossovers. The range runs from the small Juke up to the seven-seat X-Trail, with the Micra at the city-car end and the Leaf and Ariya for going electric.
We're gorentcar, an online car rental service based in Paris, and you can reserve any of them in a few minutes, then collect the car in the city or at the airport. This page helps you pick the right Nissan for your trip and read the deal properly.
We cover what each model tends to cost per day, how the automatic e-Power hybrids differ from the petrol cars, and what the deposit and insurance excess commit you to.
Which Nissan fits your trip
Nissan's Paris range is built around crossovers, so the honest first question is how much car you actually need. For city errands and short hops, the Micra is the cheapest sensible choice, small enough to park and easy on fuel, though three adults in the back on a longer run will feel it.
Step up to the Juke and you get a raised driving position and a proper boot without much extra length, which makes it the easy pick for a couple touring the city and the odd day out.
The Qashqai is the one most people end up in, and for good reason. It seats four in comfort, takes a week of luggage with the parcel shelf in place, and still fits down a normal Paris street. If you're carrying five with bags, or you want the option of seven seats for a family trip to the Loire or Normandy, the X-Trail is the one to book.
Because the range leans so heavily on crossovers, a Nissan is also a natural starting point if you're comparing SUV rental in Paris more widely.
What a Nissan costs in Paris, and what to check
Daily rates move with the season and how far ahead you book, but the ranges below are realistic for a few days' hire in Paris. They cover the car with basic insurance included.
| Nissan model | Typical daily rate |
|---|---|
| Micra (small / economy) | €45–60 |
| Juke (compact crossover) | €65–85 |
| Qashqai (mid-size SUV) | €80–110 |
| X-Trail (large / seven-seat SUV) | €100–140 |
The headline rate is the easy part. What separates a good deal from an expensive one is the deposit and the insurance excess, the amount you're liable for if the car is damaged. A low daily price with a €1,500 excess and a large card hold can work out worse than a slightly dearer rate with the excess bought down.
We don't ask for a deposit, which is something to factor in when you compare. If a particular Nissan isn't free for your dates, the Renault Captur rents at around €76 a day and is the closest match in our fleet to the Juke and Qashqai end of the range.
Automatic, hybrid, or electric
Most of the Nissan range in Paris is automatic, which is the gearbox you want for stop-start traffic on the Périphérique or around the Arc de Triomphe. The Qashqai and X-Trail use Nissan's e-Power setup, where a petrol engine charges a battery that drives the wheels, so the car feels electric to drive but never needs plugging in.
You get smooth, quiet progress in town and sensible fuel use, without hunting for a charger mid-trip. The cheaper Micra and some Juke versions still come as manuals, which keeps the price down but is less relaxing in heavy traffic, and the automatics tend to book out first in summer.
To go fully electric, the Leaf and the Ariya sit in our electric range, and they make particular sense inside Paris. The city is a low-emission zone, and every recent rental car arrives with the right Crit'Air sticker already on the windscreen, so you can drive in the centre without sorting any paperwork yourself. The electric models sit in the cleanest band, and the e-Power hybrids are close behind.
Picking up your Nissan in Paris
You can collect a Nissan at the city desks or out at the airports, which covers most arrivals into Charles de Gaulle, Orly, or Beauvais. If you're landing and heading straight out of town, picking up at the airport saves dragging luggage across the city first.
If you're staying central and only want the car for a day trip, a city pickup is usually simpler and cheaper on parking.
One honest note on the bigger crossovers. The Qashqai is fine on Paris streets once you're used to its width, but the X-Trail asks for more care in tight underground car parks and on the narrow one-way streets of the older arrondissements.
For pure city driving the Juke or Micra is less stressful. Save the larger SUVs for trips where you'll actually leave the city, where the space and the motorway comfort earn their keep on a run down to the châteaux or the coast.
FAQ — Common Questions Answered.
Which Nissan should I rent for driving in central Paris?
For the city itself, the Micra or the Juke is the easier choice. Both are small enough to park on tight streets and in compact underground car parks, and they cost less to run for short hops. The Qashqai is still manageable in the centre and more comfortable if you're also doing longer drives, so it makes a fair compromise. Only go for the X-Trail if you genuinely need the space, because its size makes city parking harder.
Are Nissan automatics easy to get in Paris?
Yes, most of the range is automatic, including the Qashqai and X-Trail with their e-Power hybrid system. The automatic versions are the most popular for Paris driving because they take the effort out of stop-start traffic. They do get booked first in the busy summer months, so reserve early if you specifically want one. The cheaper Micra and some Juke trims are manual, which lowers the price if you're happy shifting gears yourself.
Can I rent a seven-seat Nissan X-Trail in Paris?
Yes, the X-Trail can be booked with seven seats, which makes it the Nissan to choose for a larger family or a group. The third row suits shorter journeys or children rather than three adults on a long drive. With seven people aboard the boot shrinks, so pack accordingly, or fold the rear seats flat when you don't need them. For a trip out to the Loire Valley or the coast it gives you far more flexibility than a smaller crossover.
Do I need a Crit'Air sticker to drive a Nissan in Paris?
You do need one inside Paris, but you won't have to arrange it yourself. Paris is a low-emission zone, and the rental car comes with the correct Crit'Air sticker already fixed to the windscreen. Recent petrol and hybrid Nissans sit in a clean enough band to enter the zone normally, and the electric Leaf and Ariya are in the cleanest category of all. Just check the sticker is in place at pickup, the same way you would the fuel level and any existing scratches.
How much deposit do I need to rent a Nissan?
With us there's no deposit, so you won't have a large sum held on your card during the rental. That isn't true everywhere, and a big card hold is one of the things to compare between providers. The number that matters most is the insurance excess, which is what you would pay if the car is damaged, and you can often reduce it by adding extra cover. Read that figure before you book, because a cheap daily rate with a high excess can cost more in the end.
