While there are many ways to get around Versailles, traveling by car gives you the most freedom. Versailles is just a short drive away from Paris as well as many other close by tourist destinations. Renting a car in Versailles is probably the best way to take in area towns and villages at your own pace and schedule.
Most Versailles car rental companies require the person renting the car to be 25 years old. For US visitors, a US driver’s license is generally all that is required to rent a car, but you may want to purchase an International Drivers Permit (IDP). An IDP allows you to drive legally in over 150 different countries, including France. The IDP should be carried in addition to your driver’s license, not in place of it.
