You should be able to pick up a car from %26lt;your choice of company%26gt; at Gare de Lyon, which is very near to Gare Bercy (10 mins walk). The 87 bus runs between the two stations as well.

I recommend you check with a rental broker such as Autoeurope for best pricing:

Picking up a rental at a train station such as Bercy can add 30 to 60 euros to the total rental fee vs. picking up a rental at an in town office near Bercy.

Is this the location that you suggested picking up the rental car??



Gare Lyon



193-197 Rue De Bercy



Thanks for your help TA travelers

Yes, all the car rental companies seem to have that address. It looks to be about 1 km back to Gare de Paris-Bercy, so if you%26#39;re not too laden, you can just walk back to the station.




|||



And I%26#39;d pay the extra for the convenience of dropping the car at the train station, but I%26#39;m old and lazy :-)




|||



If you pick up at a train station or airport , then you get the additional facility charge (usually 30+ Euros). However, I don%26#39;t think dropping off at these places add any extra charge.

Definitely pickup from Gare de Lyon. All the agencies are there and they have better competitive pricing. You can walk from the car via a bridge to the train station and you are right on one of the main metro lignes.





I have obtained good prices via http://www.avis.com and used the AARP discount (if you have that).
