Originally introduced in the 1950s to support the growth of France's tourism sector, Car2Europe™ offers a tax-free leasing program for brand-new vehicles, exclusively tailored to visitors traveling in Europe. With over 66 years of trusted service, we consistently provide an exceptional solution for travelers, students, business professionals, and expatriates alike. We warmly invite you to experience the freedom and confidence of Car2Europe™, a program proudly endorsed by the acclaimed travel authority, Lonely Planet™.
If you will need a car in Europe, by far the cheapest option is to 'purchase' a new one from Car2Europe™ and then 'sell' it back at the end of your trip. In reality, you pay only for the number of days you have the vehicle, but the 'temporary transit' (TT) paperwork means that the car is registered under your name - and that the whole deal is exempt from all sorts of taxes. All the plans include unlimited kilometers, 24-hour towing and breakdown service, and comprehensive insurance with absolutely no deductible/excess, so returning the car is hassle-free, even if it's damaged.

All-Inclusive Insurance
Enjoy complete peace of mind with our all-inclusive insurance. The policy features third-party liability, a zero-deductible CDW (Collision Damage Waiver), and even protection against risks often excluded by standard rentals, such as glass, tires, and misfuelling. 24/7 assistance and coverage across 30+ European countries are always included.
Tax-Free Vehicle
Receive a brand-new, factory-fresh vehicle. Throughout the term of use, the car is registered in the contract holder's name with the French government, which grants the vehicle tax-free status and ensures a highly advantageous price.
Guaranteed Model
Choose your preferred model with certainty, a guarantee not offered by standard rentals. For a journey of any length, knowing your vehicle in advance is a simple privilege—one we are proud to secure for you.
No Limits on Age
Drive without limits. We impose no extra charges based on a driver's age or mileage. All licensed drivers aged 18 and over are welcome for one flat rate, regardless of the journey's distance
Family-Friendly
Share the driving with your family at no extra cost. The contract holder's spouse, parents, and children are automatically included as authorized drivers, making it the perfect choice for family travel.
Flexible Itineraries
Design your journey with ultimate flexibility. Our program eliminates the costly one-way fees that often dictate a round-trip itinerary. Routes with different pick-up and drop-off countries are never an issue.
