Van Hire
A word of caution: You can hire 20 cubic metre vans with an ordinary B
driving licence, but if you fill such a van up completely with furniture and
removal boxes, you can easily end up having charged twice as much weight as
allowed. Not only will you be fined in case of a police control, you will not be
allowed to continue unless you offload enough for getting the van below the
allowed maximum weight. That means hiring a second van, moving half the stuff
over there, and finding someone to drive it - or leaving one van with contents
on the spot until you can get back to collect it, hoping that no one has emptied
it in the meantime. Finally, if seriously overcharging a van, there is a real
risk of tyre explosion because of the increased tyre deformation and friction
that wil overheat the tyre. A 12 m3 van can
typically load 1075-1500 kg, which is more than the maximum of 625-900 kg for a
20 cubic metre van. The motorway tolls are more expensive for a 20 m3
van than for 12 m3, by the way. For an ordinary
removal, less may therefore mean more. Ask at the local mairie (town
hall) where you can weigh the van before starting out if you want to play it
safe.

Note: In principle, estate agent sites would fit here, but because of the
vast number of estate agents in France, it is impossible to include them. In
order not to discriminate, we will therefore not list any, although it cannot be
guaranteed that a few will not slip through the net. We allow an exception for
agents who stand out from the crowd, for example by specialising in châteaux. Any site that can
reasonably be characterised as a portal or property search or information site
of general interest will be listed. Estate agents wanting a presence are free to
buy adverts on this site at most reasonable prices. Please contact
us.
See the Banking & Finance section for links
about mortgages, money transfer etc.
Pass-GRL. You want to RENT
property but you don't fulfil the strict criteria of providing a permanent
employment contract and spending no more than a third of your income on rent,
for example because you are self-employed or earn your living from seasonal or
fixed term contracts. This government scheme can help providing a guarantee for
the landlord so you will be accepted as a tenant. You would need to be settled
in France already.
Locapass. You want to RENT
property. This government scheme can pay the 1-month deposit requested by the
landlord. You repay it interest free over 3 years.
