Rent Cars in Versailles

Versailles is located in the western suburbs of Paris, 17 kilometres from its centre. Versailles is home to 86,000 residents, giving it a considerably more relaxed atmosphere than bustling, fast-paced Paris. The city rests on a plateau 140 metres above sea level, providing a beautiful view of the surrounding lands.

The structural design of the city was planned to give it an elegant, open feel, and was used as inspiration for the architects who designed Washington DC. Versailles was first mentioned in a medieval document in 1038, giving us an idea of when the city was built. The fact that Versailles was used as a template for a modern city like Washington DC is a credit to the city planning done at such an early point in our history. The open spaces of Versailles make it especially well suited to touring in your own car hire. Auto Europe offers several Versailles rental car pick up locations and a large car hire fleet for you to choose from.

Inside, visitors will find a massive museum with historical paintings and other fine artifacts.
