This was our 2nd time leasing a Citroen through Motorvana. We were happy each time with the car and the service. We will do it again.

This was our first experience and we could not be happier. The entire process was so easy and completely hassle free. We have already made our bookings for 2025!

We picked up our lease car in Geneva and spent 80+ days driving around Western France, Germany, Belgium, and a lot more France 3130Miles 5051 Kn this was our 5th time leasing from Motorvana. It is so easy to pick up and drop off. It's so nice to have a new car with great insurance. Drop off at Paris airport took about 5 minutes. It was great
Kenneth Mackenzie, Canada, posted on 7 September 2024This is the 4th time we have leased instead of renting a car with our trips ranging from 1 month to 6 months. In each instance the lines of communication were clear and concise. Delivery to and from pick up and departure points were easy and seamless. The paper work is essentially done by the time you arrive and you have none of the nonsense you usually have to put up with at traditional car rentals. The all inclusive insurance is just that - we had a slight mishap on one trip and there was absolutely no bother upon returning the vehicle, We highly recommend this way of travel to anyone traveling in Europe. And who doesn't love driving a brand new car?
Kristin McKinley , United States, posted on 20 August 2024Great Program
We picked up our Citroen Aircross C3 at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. The vendor met us and another couple at the airport and took us in a van to the vehicle site. Our car was ready and after a bit of paperwork, we received the keys and had a brief introduction to our brand new vehicle. We found our Citroen to be very comfortable. We had read about the innovations the carmaker had made in seat padding and the seats were wonderful! We also appreciated all the roomy storage pockets and extra areas for storage. It was easy to drive--even though there were a few differences in a French vehicle we had to figure out at first, such as the location of reverse gear! The vehicle was equipped with a GPS program, but we preferred linking our phone to the screen and using the maps/driving program we were more familiar with. We enjoyed driving through Belgium, Germany, Poland, Slovakia and Austria before arriving in northern Italy where we returned the car to Milan Malpensa airport. The return was not quite as straightforward as our pick-up was, but after some waiting we eventually signed the paperwork and returned the keys. The company provided a shuttle bus to our airport hotel. The benefits of a leased car versus a rental impressed us, including the full coverage, the available support and assistance (which we thankfully did not need), the affordability versus a rental, the ease of pick-up and drop-off, the comfort of our car and the ability to drive across borders easily. If the opportunity ever arises again, we would gladly use this Motorvana service again.

Tomamos un citroen C5 aircross, muy buen auto , recorrimos mas de 5.900 kms sin ningún problema tanto la entrega como la devolución del auto fue muy rapida y facil
Andrew Ogilvie, San Francisco, posted on 15 June 2024Delightful experience
I planned the trip months in advance which gave us a good choice of vehicles and the option to cancel without charge up to a month or so before our trip. We picked up the car, a C-4, in Porto. The representative met us at the airport and drove us to the lot where they deliver the car. I signed some papers and then he gave us a thorough explanation of driving in Portugal, how to use the toll roads and all the features of our new Citroen. He synched our phones to the navigation system and gave us directions to the nearest gas station.
We loved the car. It has features you don’t find in cars sold in USA. Lots of pep and power, good seats, good visibility and plenty of luggage space.
We drove to Lisbon and then northern Spain and returned the car in Barcelona. We were met at the airport lot by the representative at the agreed time, signed some more papers and we were done. I highly recommend this program.
Brad, USA, posted on 10 May 2024Great Experience
Our new car was ready right on schedule in Madrid, and we were able to complete the pickup quickly with superb, friendly assistance. Our DS7 was much larger, but still less expensive, than renting a compact car for 3 months. We drove all around southern Spain and the hybrid electric motor proved quite useful. The drop off hit a snag when the shared shuttle van company lost their key, but our contact quickly solved the problem by getting us a large van taxi in minutes and we were on our way. We'd look to do the same lease on future long trips.
Chris Gregory, United States, posted on 1 May 2024Short Term Lease
We signed up for a short term lease of 90 days, picking up the car in Nice and dropping it off in Paris. Though we had initially wanted to pick up in Rome, we were quickly informed that this wouldn't be available due to the time of year. However, they were quick to offer up a solution that worked for us, though we had to make some adjustments to our travel. Aside from this, everything else with the process was smooth. The car was waiting for us when we arrived in Nice and dropping off in Paris was simple and easy. Customer Service was quick to respond to any queries and I recommend reaching out to them with any concerns. We didn't have any issues with the vehicle, though, so I can't comment on the service in that regard.
R Groce, France, posted on 6 March 2024Long term lease
We took a long term lease while we moved from US to France. Everything was on point staff was friendly and everyone was polite and informative. I would recommend Motorvana.
Kim Leaver, Australia, posted on 11 February 2024The Basque Country
My wife and I travelled in out of Lisbon Portugal from Australia and the car was ready for us on arrival and was quickly and easily processed on our return. We travelled northern Portugal, the north west of Spain, and the south west of France. A great experience and a great way of obtaining a first class automobile from a first class company.
Michael Williams, Sacramento, California, posted on 24 December 2023best car "rental" ever
For years we've wanted to try one of these leases. Finally we had a trip long enough AND there were cars available. Easy to set up the lease, Good communication through the process from the agency. Pickup at the airport was flawless. The car was brand new of course so that was as expected. We did have an engine warning light come on later in the trip. I reached out to the contact at Stellantis as well as going direct to a dealer. The Stellantis contact was very helpful in finding a garage that could look at the car immediately. Resolved and on the road again after an hour. Drop off was as the pickup was: flawless. We saw few vehicles throughout our trip with red plates. People who noticed the plates were definitely curious about why the car had red plates. We would not hesitate again to use this program.
Robert Arbeit, Setauket, New York, posted on 17 December 2023Great leasing program
My wife and I have leased Citroen Car-2-Europe for many years. Great cars and service with no surprises. We highly recommend this company.
Eric, United States, posted on 6 December 2023A Solid Program
There was flexibility with drop-off locations, and I did not need to worry about scratches or dents the way I would with a rental car. Improvements that could make the program even better include offering more premium vehicles (with a sunroof, etc.) and finding a way to facilitate direct toll billing in Italy, Spain, and Portugal, and Vignetes in other countries. Staff members rapidly replied to emails, and there was no wait time on the phone.
Lynne Mason, USA, posted on 13 October 2023Great Experience
We had a great experience from beginning to end. Though the initial car in our agreement was not going to be available, a suitable upgrade was provided. The only issue was that it was a hybrid, and we were not provided instructions on how to use this feature. Pick up to drop off went well and it was great to have a vehicle that was fully insured, that allowed for more than one driver at no extra charge and had GPS. The car we had also had advanced safety features. And the price to lease a new car was cheaper than a traditional rental. We will definately lease a car again with future travel events.
Roberta Peck, Sacramento, posted on 24 September 2023Should have been a 5
The lease would have been a 5 rating had the smaller car we contacted for been supplied. The Upgrade was not suitable for the medieval village we live in. It was a serious inconvenience. Everything else was perfect. The pickup and drop off could not have been easier. The car supplied , while to large for our use, was very nice and feature rich. We will use again and hope that smaller vehicles will be available.
Jean Louis De Mori, USA, posted on 21 September 2023It is the best way to rent a car for Europe. Not only you get a brand new car with all the options but you are completely insured 100% with no deductible. This last summer we had an incredible experience doing 3000 miles in 3 weeks , having to contact the company for a little trouble and everybody was so helpful. I completely recommended to rent a car to Motorvana.
Jonathan Ng, Singapore, posted on 3 September 2023Great way to tour around Europe
The car rental through Motorvana was quick and easy. The price is also much cheaper than the normal car rental through this program. Picking up and reutirning our car in Frankfurt and Geneva respectively was straight forward and easy. Would definitely recommend using Motorvana for long road trip in EU.
One suggestion though is to help people to purchase the low emission zone stickers in advance as we had to leave out some cities we planned to visit in France and Italy as we cant purchase the stickers on the spot in these countries. Fortunately we were able to get the sticker in Germany when we picked up the car in Frankfurt, else we probably can’t even drive around in most of the cities in Germany.
Martin , Virginia, posted on 22 August 2023Easy Process
I found out about this service a few weeks before my trip. I canceled my rental car and opted to do the short-term lease. I had a few questions before I booked and they were answered promptly. They worked with me on pick-up and drop-off at two different locations. I was on the road within 15 minutes of arriving to pick up the car and the drop-off was just as quick. They also provided a shuttle service to the airport at drop-off.
Dan Scheer, United States-Arizona, posted on 7 July 2023Great way to go
Leasing these cars is absolutely the best way to drive-in the EU. The pickup and drop off was absolutely perfect. The personnel who helped us were very friendly and professional. I will certainly lease another vehicle from Motorvana the next time we are in France. Thank you!
LMJ, Arizona, posted on 1 July 2023Great Service
Initial information on website was very informative. A follow-up question was answered promptly. Forms and payment were easy and timely.
After we booked, and just before pick-up at Frankfurt airport, the service informed us that a mechanical problem made it impossible to get our original Citroen car delivered on time. Yipes - but - no panic. Without further cost to us, they booked a replacement thru Avis. Convenient and great service! Note -- Avis gave us a BMW 2, a small SUV. It had comfortable seats and good engine but terrible sightlines and info system. We would never recommend this BMW; sorry we didn't get to try the Citroen.
KEN CALLAWAY, CALIFORNIA, posted on 26 June 2023SUPERB OPTION INSTEAD OF CAR RENTALS
Wonderful option that helped us relax and feel confident that we were taken care of. Motorvana makes long term use of a car for European travel SOooo economical and easy! Easy pick up and return. The car functioned properly the entire nearly 2 months that we traveled. We will use your services again next year for our next vacation. Thank you so much!
Steven Kim, USA, posted on 15 June 2023great way travel Europe
This is our 3rd time leasing Citroen car. We leased our car for 6 weeks during our trip covering 5 countries. The pick up and drop off process was easy and quick as usual. Citron C4 is getting better every year we leased and feel more comfortable driving. Plan to lease your car again when we will travel Europe next year.
Bryce S., Arizona, posted on 6 June 2023Flawless Experience
Flawless experience from end to end. The car I reserved was not going to be available from Citroen, so they upgraded us to a higher model at no extra charge. We picked the car up in Madrid and dropped it off in Paris, drove it over 5,000 km's. The car itself was great, all the current technology like adaptive cruise, speed limit detection, lane keep, CarPlay, etc.
We plan on making annual trips to Europe and will 100% use Car-2-Europe again.
Chris Jurca, United States of America, posted on 1 June 2023Great Experience
Everything went flawlessly. Citroen Car-2-Europe is the way to go if you need a car overseas and are going to be there over a month. The entire experience was smooth, from initiating the lease to final drop-off of the car. Thank you!
Cato, California, posted on 28 May 2023Review
We got a Citroen and drove it over 3000 miles in France. This is a good program. The car was excellent. We had to call for road support once and they immediately solved your problem. Pick up and drop off near the Lyon airport was easy. In short, we feel very good about the service and the car.
Jens, Florida, posted on 9 November 2022Great experience

Hakob, Canada, posted on 20 September 2022Excellent
My wife and came across the option of short term lease when we were searching for a car for our wedding and honeymoon. Compared to regular rental options, this short term lease featured a very competitive price so it was a no brainer for us. Both the pick up in Rome and the drop off in Paris were smooth. The transfers from and to the respective airports were also very nicely handled. We will certainly consider using this option again when we need a car in Europe for a prolonged period of time.
Don English, Arizona, posted on 9 September 2022Best rental car deal in Europe
This is by far the best rental car deal in Europe. We leased a car for 3 months with the average daily price significantly below the traditional car rental places. Their service was absolutely great. Pick and return were a breeze. I highly recommend them.
Michelle, Hong Kong, posted on 27 August 2022The best short-term car rental in France
It’s my first time to stay for six months in France and I tried to look for cheaper car rental for this stay. Then I found Car-2-Europe on internet and the price was so much cheaper than normal car rental. During this trip, we had broke our tires twice and the CS was so helpful, I couldn’t believe I didn’t even need to pay for anything. It’s easy & fast to pick up and return the car, no need to deal with all the insurance issues. Brand new car with 2 keys for the entire trip, so good to be true!
James Freschi, Oakland, California, posted on 16 August 2022August, 2022

We were in Europe for over 3 months and for that length of time, leasing with Car-2-Europe was way cheaper than renting, but what I was impressed with was the overall service. Easy to pick up, easy to drop off, got quick answers to questions, and not being worried about little dents and scratches all made the whole thing seem a little too good to be true!

Leasing from motorvana could not have been easier and the car was just perfect for our group. It was almost too good to be true. Everything that they said was true. The car was brand new and The check-in and checkout process was quick and easy. I would recommend this service to anyone. It was certainly cheaper than renting a car for our length of stay in Europe.

Picked up the car, Citron C4 diesel automatic, in Paris and drove 5500km thru northern Spain to Portugal Lisbon for four weeks. This is our second time leasing a car from motorvana and pick up and drop off process was very easy and simple. The car has right amount trunk space for two carry on luggage and perfect size to maneuver thru narrow street with plenty of power. The built in GPS system was very accurate and reliable compare to my Garmin GPS. Rearview camera was helpful to park the car at narrow parking spot. The car has improved a lot from my last leasing experience five years ago. Plan to lease C4 diesel next year.
Kerwin, us, posted on 2 June 2022great choice
The lease experience was as advertised. The staff at pick up was very helpful in in familiarizing us with the car, and the recommendations of car selection was spot on. Drop off was swift with preprogramed destination in GPS very helpful. A great choice when pick up and dropoff destinations are in different countries.
DON RODGIRS, Canada, posted on 28 May 2022Perfect solution
Although I had to cut my trip short (pick pockets in Paris CDG ) I would use and recomend Motorvana in any and every time. The service and signin was flawless,quick and the guys were great to deal with. The return ( 2 weeks early ) was without any issues. The car while basic was great, good on fuel and served its purpose. Easy to park even in Florence, Italy. On street. Unlike standard rental companies I wasn't subjected to any upselling or 1001 resons why they will charge for damage that doesn't exsist.
I will definatly use them again in the future.
Eric, USA, posted on 23 May 2022Portugal this time
We leased out of Lisbon airport this time. This was the third time we've leased a Citroën from IdeaMerge/Motorvana, the other two being Paris and Toulouse. As usual a seamless experience. We'll do it again next year.
Geoff, Thailand, posted on 17 April 2022The whole process, from picking up the car to the final drop off, worked perfectly and was very easy. We chose an automatic model which are often quite expensive to rent in France so the cost of TT was much, much less than traditional car rent. Also great that we were able to pick up at Paris and drop at Geneva without a surcharge. The car itself was great; 100% reliable despite freezing conditions and heavy snow where we were in the French Alps. Automatic box was a huge benefit on the mountain roads. Altogether a really good experience that we will repeat each time we visit.
Fabrizio, USA, posted on 2 April 2022Very easy dealing with this rental
Everything went very smooth. Pickup in Rome and drop off in Madrid. Used the car in Italy, France and Spain during a 2 1/2 months. I will recommend this car to anybody, me and my wife thought that was just big enough for the two of us, easy to park and drive. All Good
Tim Hall, Seattle, WA, posted on 25 December 2021What a deal
Needless to say, when Erik at Motorvana explained to me the buy back program, I was a bit skeptical. From my experience, when something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. However, in this case, it's true!
The car was new and fantastic. The GPS was beyond helpful. The zero deductible insurance allowed for peace of mind. And the ease with which I picked up and dropped off the car at the Lyon airport was a dream. It was such a good deal that I'm planning another trip to France this the spring!
Thank you Motorvana.
Alan, USA, posted on 21 December 2021Easy and flexible
We rented from Paris and returned in Rome. When we compared with a traditional rental, we found we had a lot more flexibility and it was overall much less expensive. We got a brand new car, and the service was incredible both on pickup and on return. I will definitely do this again next time I'm in Europe.
Fabrizio, US, posted on 20 September 2021Perfect car

Very smooth and trustworthy process. The car pick up was smooth, and its return was smoother. We've had incidents such as a broken window during an attempt of robbery, and Car-2-Europe's handling of the situation was responsive and attentive: they quickly found us a repair shop where we dropped the car off, another car (same tier) was offered to us during repair days, and in 2 days total we got our car back. I definitely recommend this service.

Skeptical New Yorker took a chance. Everything was perfect. Changed model after booking-no problem. Car was fully explained on pickup at Paris CDG. National holiday on drop off day-they made special drop off arrangements around our flight schedule in Madrid, Spain. Our brand new car was well broken in after 125 days and 15,000km. Keep another one waiting for us. We’ll pick it up in August. Thank you.

Robert Arbit, Setauket, New York, posted on 14 December 2019My fourth year
My wife and I live in New York and France. Since we retired four years ago, we have leased a Citroen through Motorvana. Obviously, we have been very satisfied. The cars are brand new, the prices reasonable, and the service excellent. We plan on using Motorvana for all of our future trips to France.
Robet Woods, San Francisco, California, posted on 27 November 2019Generally very good, but....
My wife and I have homes in San Francisco, California and Antibes, France, and have been using short-term leasing for over 20 years. We had been leasing Renaults, initially through Motorvana (dealing with Scott Baxter) and when Renault dropped Motorvana through Renault Eurodrive. After several instances of Renault not having the car available upon our arrival, we decided to try Citroen instead; when we saw that we could book the car through Motorvana, we did.
Overall we are very happy with the service. Our only negative is that we arrive at Nice Cote d’Azur airport, and as of a few years ago the TT hut is about a kilometer from Terminal 2—which makes no sense, since all long-haul international flights operate out of Terminal 1. This would mean dragging about 200 pounds of luggage on to the shuttle, take it to Terminal 2, and then walking it to the hut; the procedure would be reversed going back. (Years ago, the hut was outside the airport, and a representative would come and pick us up; later, the TT desk was in Terminal 1, and the cars in a lot near the P3 parking lot.}
As I am now 80 years old and not as spry as I used to be, we now hire someone to pick us up at Terminal 1 (local taxis won’t do it), take us to the TT, and we pick the car up there. When we leave, we hire someone to meet at TT where we drop off the car, then take us (with our luggage) to Terminal 1. Hardly ideal. Since I retired 10 years ago, we make the trip twice a year, and this has become a real issue.
Thomas Zook, USA, posted on 20 November 2019Great way to see Europe!
Great service and a great car. Extremely easy pick up with friendly advisor. Drop off was also easy and quick. We have used this service through Motorvana many times and it is always organized and efficient. In the past any difficulties while traveling have been resolved in a timely fashion .
Greg , United States, posted on 11 November 2019You Pick the Auto. They deliver.
The auto was ready as promised at the price promised. We would have spent 4X the money with a rental. Had a crease in the rear fender...my fault...no problem. Incredible insurance, road side assistance and ease of pick up and return. This is our 5th time to use Motorvana...FANTASTIC Experience

This is my second time working with Motorvana. Leasing a car from Motorvana for a month in Portugal was a breeze. all that was needed were some documents. The car was new and easy to drive (automatic). The small size was very helpful in the narrow streets in city centers. The gas mileage was very good.
I would work with Motorvana in the future.
Marcus, Canada, posted on 24 October 2019Excellent & Easy
5 star rating for our experience. Very easy to deal with and we found the process straighforward and simple. Leased a Berlingo for almost 3 months for a tour around France. This is the most sensible and economical option out there for longer trips. Great car and easy pickup and drop off. We had no complaints at all and would repeat the process with these guys again in the future.
marie, United States, posted on 21 October 2019Best customer service, 2 different incidents, i had a windshield replaced and tire had to be repaired. Excellent !!!
Michael Bergstrom, USA, posted on 15 October 2019Would definitely lease again!
This was our first time leasing a car (a Citroen Cactus C4) and it was a great experience. Pick-up at the airport was great. Drop-off was in an unusual location (not the same place as pick-up, but still near the airport), and had we returned the car after dark I would have wondered if we had the right place.
We leased the car for 29 days. Some friends visiting us rented a car for 6 days and they paid a full 2/3 of our 29-day cost. That just shows how much leasing can save you if you will be need a car for an extended duration.
The car itself was comfortable and roomy. I probably wouldn't ever own one due to poor visibility out the rear corners, but it was great for our travel needs. Overall, the experience was nothing but good. Will do it again.
John Merritt, California, posted on 11 October 2019Better than Renting
We put over 5000 kilometers in our Jumpy Citroen Van in France and Spain without any issues. The full coverage is unbeatable and there were no surprises on returning the vehicle. We would definitely lease again from Motorvana. One improvement would be to have a clear meeting point at CDG airport for pick up. Otherwise everything was perfect.
Ron Anderson, United States, posted on 8 October 2019This is our fourth lease with Motorvana. Every lease has been perfect! Motorvana takes care of everything so leasing is effortless. We were especially happy with the Citron C4 Cactus. It is the perfect small SUV for the small streets in Europe with plenty of room for four and luggage. EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE!
Thu Belinotti, AZ, posted on 7 October 2019Best way to Go
Short term lease is only way to go if your need a car for 21 days or more. WE drove in seven countrys over 4500 km didn't have one problem. Peace or mind of knowing that everything is covered. On our next trip we will use Motorvana again. One happy customer..
Graham Randall, Hermanus, South Africa, posted on 7 October 2019Three months in Toulon
This was our first experience moving away from the usual car rental and it turned out to be easy and just great in every way. We travel to France annually and will definitely stay with this option. Brand new car, own choice and all the options - and most economical!

Excellent service from the booking team to delivery Guys in Frankfurt and return Guys in Rome. Fantastic vehicle ,we lease the DS7 and we ended up to be very pleased. Strongly recommended for everyone who's looking to visit and drive in Europe. Brand new vehicles, smooth delivery full insurance coverage, worry's free. Will do it again next year. Thank you everyone !
I have a little recommendation if possible to open a delivery and return station in Vienna Austria ,will be good and convenient for people who visit countries in central and east Europe.

Sebastien, Hong kong, posted on 2 September 2019Great choice !
We loved our Berlingo... in the prior years we always struggled with the rental companies, always providing a surprise model with small boot. So that we ended up loading / unloading / changing car / queuing up again, twice in a row. We usually have 3 large pieces, a board, fishing rods, umbrella, also...
Here you know the car, the boot is huge, there is no queue, that like vip service to me. I will do it next year also.
Cheers !

We had Citroen Aircross C5 (a free upgrade from a C4 Spacetourer) for three months this summer in the south of France. What a fantastic deal! There is nothing to compare the service with.

I have used the lease-return option in the past, so I knew it would be great and super simple. We rented a car in Iceland for our layover on the way home and that process (2 hour wait) confirmed once again that the lease-return option is THE way to go. Motorvana were wonderful to work with. Everything went quickly and smoothly. The agent was very helpful and friendly. The car was exactly what I hoped and we put 10,000 km on it in seven weeks in 14 countries. I cannot say more than the title of my review - Perfection!
John C, Colorado, posted on 6 August 2019Very Satisfied
When we discovered Motorvana on the web, we thought the deal was too good to be true but we were wrong. Working with Motorvana and TTcar in France was a treat: everything went very smoothly and without any hitch. Our Citroen Berlingo was everything we wanted and served us well during our nine-week camping trip. Both pick up and drop off of the car (at Orly airport) were quick and smooth with no hassle. We really don't have anything more to add other than that we will definitely use Motorvana again on our next trip. Thanks guys ... you were great!!

I've used the long-term lease several times through Motorvana and always had a great experience. Prompt customer service, clear instructions, nice employees at the pickup-dropoff locations, competitive pricing, no-haggle returns, etc. I have no reason to look anywhere else for this service.

Not to much to say really. Great network, great service, great car. Will recommend to everyone I know who is thinking of driving in Europe. Thanks

Had a minor medical emergency and had to delay our pickup from a Friday to following Monday and it was no problem, no extras. Dealt with the Pte St Cloud in Paris and lke the other time they were informal and easy to work with. No phone call on return necessary just bring it in.
Floyd Carey, US, posted on 18 July 2019Peace of Mind!
We had a great experience. One thing I hate about regular rental cars is the constant, nagging fear I have that I'll have an accident and get slammed with all kinds of extra charges (like out-of-service fees etc.) That's happened to me before. With Motorvana, we felt completely at ease the whole time. Nothing happened to the car, but if it had, we would have had much better insurance than we could get any other way. The process was very easy and convenient and the car was great. We will do it again next time.

This was our first time doing an auto lease rather than auto rental in Europe and from now, the only way to go! From the initial online booking to dropping off the automobile in Paris, it was smooth sailing all the way. It was a very well organized and detailed process from beginning to end, all the detailed information provided had eliminated all the questions that might have come up. The pickup and drop-off points were well documented and the staff were easy to deal with. It is always nice to drive a new car!
Chris Poellabauer, USA, posted on 15 July 2019Convenience
Stayed in Europe for several months; it was great to have a car always available, including a car big enough for a family of 5 (plus suitcases). The whole process was pretty straightforward and quick; can certainly recommend it and will certainly use it again in the future.
B, USA, posted on 14 July 2019Motorvana is the Only Choice
We just completed our third lease with Motorvana.com and the service and experience continues to be EXCELLENT. From the initial contact to the return process every aspect was affordable, complete, professional, smooth and convenient. We look forward to our next European holiday and know Motorvana.com will provide for our transportation needs.
Gene Okamoto, USA, posted on 28 June 2019Great car, great service
We leased a Citroen C3 last year to tour around Italy and we enjoyed it so much that we leased another C3 this year for our recent visit to France. The C3's roomy interior comfortably accommodated my wife and myself, two suitcases and our carry-ons in the covered hatchback. Its compact exterior made it easy to park and maneuver. When we picked up the car, our (thoughtful) Citroen Euro Pass agent had the NAVI already set to English and the GPS programmed with the Euro Pass (return) address...good service! The check out and check in processes were quick and easy. The free shuttle van to and from the airport was a big plus. We'll definitely choose Citroen Euro Pass again for our next European trip.

Cynthia , USA, posted on 23 June 2019Best way to see Europe!
In preparation for our six-week tour of Europe, we reserved our vehicle online. The process was simple. The company was very accurate and transparent in all its dealings with the customer. I would do this again.
John Garnett, United States, posted on 11 June 2019The Only Way to Go
This beats renting a car hands down. You get a brand new car, full insurance with no deductible and it is cheaper than a car rental. The staff are professional, the checkin and handover (both picking up and dropping off) was easier and faster than most rental places. This is by far the only way to go and we will use everytime we have a holiday greater than 21 days.
Gregory, United States, posted on 9 June 2019Great rental option
We leased a Citroen Aircross for two months, picked it up in Frankfurt and dropped it off in Paris. The process was easy and flawless. We would certainly do it again.
Rauli, Utah, USA, posted on 24 April 2019Great Program
Very convenient and hassle free from the initial contact through pick-up and drop-off at a different location in a different country. The pick-up and drop-off people were on time and courteous and knew what they were doing. Can't beat the insurance provided in the short term lease. Also tax-free. Those two factors alone make it a great deal. I highly recommend the MOTORVANA short term lease program to anyone who can stay in Europe at least 21 days to take advantage of this program. Special kudos to the North American contact Louis in Montreal. He was very helpful and provided on the spot answers to any questions I had.
Chuck, St. Louis Mo USA, posted on 10 April 2019GREAT UPGRADE
I was upgraded to a DS 7 Crossback. The car had every imaginable option. I drove 70 days in 4 countries and traveled almost 16,000 kilometers. I had to be dragged from the car I liked it so much. The price was unbeatable and the best part is you have more insurance than you could possibly buy at any regular rental. I am a Hertz Gold member and when you compare the price, especially the insurance, there is no comparison. They pick you up at the airport and take you right to your car at the agency. It is quicker and more convenient than the typical car rental. I'll do it again.
Elizabeth , USA, posted on 31 March 2019OUTSTANDING GREAT VALUE AND A BRAND NEW CAR - so much better than a "rental"
From the beginning the entire team helped me rent the car I selected and arranged it an unbeatable price. It was cheaper than renting a car from Hertz and I have been a loyal customer of Hertz for decades and get great discounts. It starts with this group. They give you all that you need to choose your car and it is brand new. You will not arrive and be told you must take a "similar" car or a car that is used. It is brand new. Clean untouched - yours. Next they give you all the info you need. You call up and they pull up in a van at the terminal and pick you up and help you with your luggage. No waiting for a bus or having to push your cart around the airport to find the rental agency. Then you drive a few minutes to their site and there is your car. A quick check-in with very helpful staff, they help you get your luggage in your car and you are done. A brand new vehicle of your choice, with all the insurance and coverage you need, unlimited miles, emergency road side service, and a pristine car. if you get a flat tire they fix it - it's all in and no worries and easy. When you are done you pull up next to their office and check-in and they take you to the nearby terminal. Motorvana is now my go to when I am staying in Europe and I recommend it to anyone as it is so much better than any "rental". Once you try it there is no going back.
Carl, United States, posted on 26 March 2019Citroen diesel C3 was a lot of fun
We leased a Citroen Diesel C3 for 6 months. It was a great little car with phenomenal mileage and great power. The lease terms were easy to understand and follow. The pickup and drop off of the car was convenient and very professional. The entire leasing process was so good we did it again for the next six months.
Mark , United States, mn, posted on 6 January 2019C3 + C4 Space Tourers
Our 3rd rental. The first was a C3 which we picked up in Madrid and returned to Lyon. Perfect size for the small roads in Spain. The second was a C4 Picasso which we picked up and returned in Paris, but drove mainly in Germany and Denmark. Again a good size for our trip. The third was the C4 Space Tourer which we picked up in Madrid and returned to Nice. It was a little too big for the small roads in rural Spain and Italy, but we managed without incidents. The only issue has been the GPS - especially in the small towns. Sometimes it tries to make you go the wrong way on a one way street! Overall we have been very satisfied with Citroën and Motorvana.
Robert Arbeit, Setauket, New York, posted on 13 December 2018Another great leasing experience.
For the third year in a row, we leased a Citroen C4 from Motorvana. We were completely satisfied with the car and the service we received. Great car, easy pick-up and drop-off. We plan on using them again next year.
Sarah Mullen, Baltimore, MD, USA, posted on 4 December 2018Can't Beat This Program!
This is the third time I've leased a Citroën through Motorvana, and I just booked today for my fourth time. I've leased the same car -- Citroën C3, 1.6L, 5 or 6-speed diesel -- every time, and I just love it!. The pickups and drop-offs (in Rome and Bordeaux so far; next up is Milan) have been smooth as silk. Although I speak French and Italian, having English-speaking agents at both locations is somehow reassuring. The last two times, the cars were equipped with an excellent, easy-to-understand GPS system. The prices are excellent if you're booking for a month or more, and the North American agents are most helpful. One of the nicest features of these leases is that you can add drivers anytime with no paperwork and no fee, as long as you are in the car when the other driver is behind the wheel. This really mattered to me during my first and longest (5 ½ months) lease because friends were coming to visit me in Florence.
I highly recommend this program without qualification!!
Eugene Okamoto, Tennessee, USA, posted on 30 November 2018Great Car
First timers. We wanted a small car to navigate the narrow streets in Italy and were given a new Citroen C-3 hatchback with the spiffy two-tone paint job and side "air bag" panels on the doors. Opening the hatch revealed a well that accommodated our 25" and 24" suitcases and two backpacks with a little bit room to spare. A cover, attached to the hatch, hid all the contents. On the road, the car was agile on twisty roads and very confident and comfortable at Autostrade speeds. The GPS was the best we ever used! It was very accurate and fast which made navigating around roundabouts easy...I could see exactly where I was and which exit I needed to take without having to count exits and/or read street names. The pickup and return processes were straight-forward and easy (however, with a little language difficulty). The free transportation from and to the airport made things easy and carefree. Highly recommended.
John Clarke, Maryland, USA, posted on 20 November 2018Great Experience
Another great leasing experience with Motorvana! The Berlingo was great for 4 passengers with lots of luggage! We will lease again without hesitation.
Jiri Rutner, USA, posted on 7 November 2018Great experience, highly recommend over rentals
Citroen C4 Space Tourer [formerly named Picasso] was perfect for us. Although a small SUV by US standards, it is only slightly longer than Honda Fit, it is well designed and comfortable. We easily fit three large (max standard size allowable for checked luggage on airlines) in the trunk area. It was plenty big for my large 6+ frame and very modern. Great fuel economy as well. Pick up and drop off were easy. We drove a lot, almost 8,000 miles and had no issues with the car whatsoever. The pick up and drop of at the Paris Roissy airport location was very easy and fast.
Brenton Drakeford, Dallas, Texas, posted on 30 October 2018Such a good experience!
Pickup and return could not have been easier, thanks to the detailed photos and maps of the airports. The Citroen C4 Catus was great. I didn’t know the car would have Apple CarPlay, what a pleasant surprise. I had a dead battery, which was a little challeging, but I was treated like a VIP. I was so pleased with the entire process. I look forward to leasing again next October when we got to Spain.
Marnelle Roberys, Vancouver Canada, posted on 18 October 2018Good value
Easy, efficient, and friendly sum up my experience in leading a Citroen through Motorvana. I will absolutely use this service again for extended visits in Europe. The car was in excellent condition and ready to go as scheduled. The return was equally well organized. I enjoyed driving my C4 Cactus and especially appreciated the built in GPS. Thank you for a great service!
Peter C, Australia, posted on 18 October 201890 Day Car Rental
We have used 8 car rental companies over the last 12 months, whilst travelling throughout Europe. We used Motorvana for the long term lease (90 days) of a brand new car. This is easily the best and cheapest way to get a great car. We will definitely used this lease arrangement in preference to any car rental company in the future.
Mark & Ginger Hancock, United States, posted on 16 October 2018Best Deal and wonderful experience
We leased a Citroën for our three months in France. We were delighted with the service and the value.

It's just the way to go!

We will be happy to recommend Motorvana to all our friends.
Michael Moore, Atlanta, GA, posted on 27 August 2018Excellent, sporty little car
Since we got the car in Portugal, we named him "Vasco" and drove him for over 4000 miles throughout Europe during our 7 weeks of driving. We opted for the more deluxe 100 HP diesel and the acceleration didn't disappoint. Fuel economy was phenomenal. (a good thing in those high-fuel-price countries). The car is small enough to negotiate very narrow lanes in older cities, yet big enough to hold its own on autostradas, etc. The color (red with black trim) was sporty and turned some heads, as they are not all that common. There are a few minor negatives about the car: access to the back seat is not that easy; it is not particularly intuitive to lock the seat back after doing so (I had trouble figuring it out for our whole trip); The radio was mediocre- was one reason we opted for a more deluxe model; navigation system worked, but was a PITA to program (I recommend just downloading offline Google maps when on wifi- you don't get current traffic data, but it is much faster and produces the same or better routes); the seats were fairly comfortable, but only fairly so. 2 hours is the max we could stand sitting. But overall, we were very pleased with Vasco, and made him part of our family ;)
The company we booked through was good to work with- the expected people were there to meet us on both ends of our "lease." This is more complicated than car rental, but for a long trip is necessary. They could use a few more drop off points in central Europe. They did not hassle us about anything. We returned the car clean as required, and they didn't nit-pick. The directions to their pickup/dropoff points could be improved, a minor point. We would rent this model car from this dealer again for such a trip.
Nick, USA, posted on 21 August 201815th summer
We've used this service for fifteen summers now and it's, by far, the easiest and most convenient way to have a car in France for a couple months. The vehicles are brand new and spotless, insurance is included and the mileage is unlimited. A couple signatures when you land and two more upon departure and that's it. Almost seems to good to be true but we do it every year and plan to continue until someone tells me I can't. See you next year!

Austin Bruce Taylor, USA, posted on 2 August 2018My only problem was the return instructions (printed and gps) for returning the car. I was on a short time frame to get to my flight and actually had to have a courtesy drive from TT to come and get me. Construction all around their depot and no updated instructions made it very difficult for me to return the car. Remember, I have worked with these people for years, Motorvana and a couple of other providers before you. (I still miss the Dacia Logan that I leased a few years ago - maybe I'll have to buy one for my time in France). All in all, not a bad experience. Thx.
Donald Rogers, Kansas-USA, posted on 2 August 20183rd Problem Free Lease
This was the third time I've leased through Motorvana. It's so nice to have a brand new vehicle with full insurance. This time was the C4-Cactus gas version which was fully equipped and drove and rode very well averaging 41 mpg over 4400km. My only complaint was not really the vehicle, but its larger size (smaller SUV) was a tight fit in some parking lots. Pickup and dropoff are painless, although I had a to ask several questions of the pickup agent to make sure I understood some of the vehicle features. I would certainly recommend the short term lease through Motorvana.
Charles Henningsen, Naples, FL USA, posted on 26 July 2018Great experience
We leased a Citroen C4 for five weeks, putting over 4000 km on the vehicle. Overall - other than the car interior being a tight fit for four, 6 foot people traveling with large suitcases and carry-on bags - it was a great experience. Everything from dealing with the lease originator (Marie-Claude Gagnon in Montreal) to delivery in Frankfurt and return in Barcelona went without incident. The car performed well, was fuel efficient and had plenty of power for motorway driving. A great asset was the detailed, up to date, GPS system which was very helpful navigating in the cities visited. I would recommend the service to anyone looking for a short term lease in Europe.
Adam Gilewicz, Canada, posted on 11 July 2018Excellent trip
My wife and I decided to lease a vehicle for our 3 month trip to Europe and we absolutely loved it. We booked a bit later than we should have but they were so helpful in finding us a car it was no problem. It was incredible to have a vehicle of your own with the flexibility to travel in almost every country in Europe. We drove 21,000kms and had no problems with the maintenance process at 20,000kms as there were dealers everywhere, or condition of the car. None of the border crossings outside the EU had any issue with the documents provided or red transport plates, it was great. We will definitely be using this option again I cannot express how satisfied we were!
John, Toronto, Canada, posted on 4 July 2018Excellent alternative for longer European road trips!
First time I've leased a car in Europe and the experience was excellent! Booking the car with Motorvana was easy and straight forward as was payment. I did much comparing between traditional renting and leasing and found that leasing would allow the best price, insurance coverage and flexibility with regard to country and travel restrictions with regard to travelling on ferries and to eastern european countries. Our very spacious brand new Citroen Berlingo was delivered to London and for a little extra we had it delivered directly to Gatwick airport where we proceeded to drive it for 30 days throughout the UK, Belgium, France, Italy, Slovenia, Hungary, Austria and Germany for a total of 6200km. Dropping the car off in Munich was very straight forward. No haggling over the condition of the car or whether there was fuel in the tank just the signing back of the ownership and then they shuttled us to the airport which was very close. I chose the Berlingo so that our son who is 6' 1" would have plenty of leg and head room while in the back seats - he had no complaints with space the entire journey. Plus, I wanted to make sure we would have room for our luggage and extras to remain out of sight should we leave the car loaded and unattended. The hidden cargo storage area was sufficient for 3 - 24" suitcases placed lengthwise on their side. Plus it allowed for our knapsacks and misc smaller bags and items to be stowed on top of and beside the suitcases. The car itself performed flawlessly and was very strong on the highway and in the mountains. I'm happy to say our auto leasing experience through Motorvana and their european counterpart was a positive and easy experience. Everything is stated up front so there were no surprises (assuming you the documents) at any point before, during or after our trip. I highly recommend this service and we'll use it again in the future!
Joanne Mansour, United States, posted on 26 June 2018What a fabulous service!
Our family leased 2 cars for our whirlwind trip through Europe. We picked up the cars in Amsterdam and dropped them off in Milan. Such a great service. Insurance included so no concerns about added costs later. Unfortunately we had some vandalism during our trip, but the folks at Euro Pass were so accommodating and so helpful during this stressful situation. They went above and beyond even calling their english speaking counterparts in other countries to call me to reassure me about the process. We had 2 Citroen DS3s for 7 adults. We packed light, so the cars accommodated us well. Thanks again!
Sarah F, USA, posted on 25 June 2018Total flexibility
I chose this service over a traditional auto lease because of the complete flexibility it offers - unlimited mileage, drive to any European country you want to see, and most of all, you don't have to be paranoid about scratches, dents, or punctures because it's all covered as part of the lease. I started in Bordeaux and dropped the car in Munich, after 45 days of traveling throughout western Europe. The car itself worked perfectly, no mechanical problems, and for what it was (a basic little hatchback), it worked for what I needed. I would recommend that if you'll be driving long distances on the motorways, you consider something with a slightly bigger engine. My little DS3 was super efficient in the city, but I found that my highway mileage wasn't great. The pick up process was quick and easy at Bordeaux, but the drop off was a little trickier. The drop off point at Munich is near the airport, but it's tucked away in kind of a strange spot and it's very poorly marked. The office is near some sort of mechanic's shop and other industrial offices, so I walked around the group of buildings for a while before I found the Citroen office (it's in a building marked "guesthaus," oddly enough). Overall, a good experience, and great alternative to the regular auto rental companies, who I feel are often looking for any possible way to extort money through additional fees and charges. I've used my credit card company insurance (Chase sapphire) for other rentals in the past and having to make a claim is endless paperwork, and getting them to respond is like pulling teeth, so this was infinitely easier. I felt it was a decent value, when you think about the extras you get as part of the lease (insurance, unlimited mileage, gps, etc). I wouldn't hesitate to lease through this company again if I'm in Europe on a longer trip.
Adrian, United States, posted on 25 June 2018This was our third time using the excellent services of Motorvana to lease a DS4 automatic. It was also the third time that the service was flawless. Not only is it far more economical than a rental, you get the car you want, brand new and fully covered. We'll be back in the Fall and you can be sure we'll use Motorvana again.
Eric, USA, posted on 25 June 2018Excellent option for longer car rental in Europe
From the easy and very accommodating arrangements with Marie-Claude (she also made sure everything went well, once we got there!), to the pick-up in Frankfurt (it was a holiday and we were picked up at the airport anyway very promptly), to the drop-off in Amsterdam. Excellent alternative to car rental. With the insurance included in the price, as well as second driver, it was a more economical option after less than three weeks. And you know, which car you get! We will do it again next year.
John Clarke, Maryland, USA, posted on 25 June 2018Great Experience
We leased the Berlingo and found it to be true as advertised. It was roomy, easy to handle and our one complaint was the lack of a back up camera for safety. We are leasing another Berlingo in the fall for another trip and are looking forward to it.
Alex Kybal, San Diego, CA - USA, posted on 23 June 2018Perfect Experience
We had the new Citroen Cactus for 2 weeks and it was perfect. It's hard to beat starting with a new car with only 3 kilometers. We ended up driving about 2500 kilometers in France and Spain. The Manager at the Marseilles airport was friendly, knowledgeable, and even met us at the drop off location at 5am on a Saturday so that we could make our departure flight at 7am. The whole process and experience was top notch. 5 STARS to Motorvana and their staff.

This was my third experience with Citroen Euro Pass. As expected Marie-Claude made the initial transactions very smooth. She handled a change in pickup location with aplomb and did an excellent job in keeping me apprised on various issues via email. The pickup and delivery at RomaDrive was friendly and efficient. The Citroen C4 diesel runs and handles remarkably well. The engine is not powerful but adequate and the fuel economy is excellent. The C4 is comfortable, very quiet (especially for a diesel), and a pleasure to drive. The manual transmission operates smoothly and the availability of GPS and speed control adds to the driving experience. If the car was available in the U.S.A., I would certainly consider purchasing it.

The car, a Citroën C3 diesel, was economical, comfortable, and fun to drive. I’ve booked another for this fall in Bordeaux.
Thanks again for excellent service. You’re my “go to” car leasing service in Europe!
Joe, USA, posted on 12 May 2018Great service; great car
I leased a Citroen Picasso this year and picked the (brand new) car up in Bordeaux. I don’t think it took ten minutes. They showed me how everything worked, set up the gps (in English) and I was off. No problems with the car and dropping it off also took maybe ten minutes as well. Very professional, courteous staff on both ends. Smooth, easy, new car perfection - I just wish I had more time in my schedule to use this car, like another two weeks on my vacation! The car comes fully insured - no stress like a typical car rental. No sales pitches, warnings or anything that adds costs or worries after the fact. I wish other European countries had the same program but it might be worth it to route all trips through France just to be able to use this service and these great cars.
Bruce Robinson, Boulder, Colorado USA, posted on 10 May 2018Couldn't have been better
Started out working with Marie-Claude and found her to be very efficient, responsive and friendly. Had to change pickup location because of 2018 rail strike; she made that happen to our satisfaction. All went well picking car up, having zero problems with our car which was fun to drive and efficient on gas mileage. GPS was a god-send and saved us many times. All-inclusive insurance was very reassuring. Drop-off went perfectly and we couldn't have asked anything more from the entire experience.
Willand Cynthia Collier, California, posted on 9 May 2018very satisfied
This is our third time leasing a car in France from Motorvana and we were thoroughly satisfied with all aspects of the lease, from the initial communications in the USA to the later communications once in France. When we picked up the car the Citroen representative programmed our return trip on the GPS and this was an immense help in making our trip back successful and efficient. The car performed well and everything about it fit our needs for the driving we did. While driving we felt relaxed in our confidence that the insurance coverage was comprehensive. We recommended Motorvana to friends who have been traveling in France now for a much longer period and they report that they are also very glad they leased through Motorvana.
Curt, USA, posted on 26 April 2018Easy Peasy
Besides saving hundreds of dollars by leasing instead of renting a car, I'm convinced everything was much easier and smoother. The online application/transaction process was relatively simple. I was not charged a penny more than agreed upon!! The car pickup and dropoff was no problem and not time consuming. The car was new and performed without any issues. The agent, "Motorvana", was always very professional and helpful. The terms and conditions were written in 'plain' language - - - complete and easy to understand. The only 'hitch' was the car wasn't what I ordered (but, the terms clearly warned of this). However, it was a model upgrade and an upscale version of that model . . . at, again, not a penny more than agreed upon! Having an opportunity to do this again, I wouldn't hesitate for a second!!!
Chance Chapman, United States, posted on 26 April 2018The way to go if staying for a few months
We picked up our car with 2 km and returned it with a little over 5000 so over two months we saw a huge part of southern France. It's the way to go. Although we've lived in different parts of France before we've always done so without a car. The freedom to be out of the bigger cities and visit small towns was really nice. No more being tied down to train schedules and only being able to go where they go! We became huge fans of weekend trips to little villages and finding vide greniers to buy little things to bring home. It was definitely cheaper than renting. Although the car isn't a speed demon it gets around nicely enough.
Ralph Hansen, USA, posted on 11 April 2018Motorvana for France trip
The car was fantastic, the paperwork was a breeze, the staff was very pleasant and helpful. Returning the car amounted to my signature on two papers and Voila!! We were set to head home. We drove the car through France, Spain, Italy and Switzerland. The car was well equipped and everything worked like it was supposed to. The entire experience was much better and easier than a car rental. I especially liked the flat rate, no up charges, no charge for extra drivers, zero deductible, and all the insurance you could ask for. Great experience - loved the car !!!

For two years in a row, I have leased a Citroen C4 through Motorvana.com. Both times I have been extremely satisfied. The cars delivered were brand new and the pick-up each time was flawless. Marie Gagnon is a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend this company for a car lease in France.
David Wisniewski, Michigan USA, posted on 17 November 2017I was a bit apprehensive about; first, leasing a car brought from France and second, driving on the left in a left hand drive vehicle. We were met at Heathrow Terminal 5 within minutes of our arrival after having called the office. With a minimal bit of paperwork concluded we were on our way to the Wiltshire countryside.
Having driven nearly 50,000 miles in Britain I adjusted rapidly to having a left hand drive car...perhaps because my wife was still seated to my right and the familiarity of the interior put my concerns to rest.
The car ran flawlessly for the remainder of our two month journey from the south coast to Scotland and all the undulations between.
I would never go back to rental cars again as long as this service exists.
Marie in Montreal and the 'boys' at Heathrow office could not have been nicer.
It was a great experience...made easier in our Citroen C-3.
Steve Munch, United States, posted on 25 September 2017This was my 4th vacation in Europe what included a leased vehicle from Motorvana, and yet another pleasant experience. The suggested vehicle was the perfect fit for our party of 5 adults, enough room for comfort & baggage, yet small enough to find parking on the streets of small towns. The full insurance aspect is something that I always felt was for "peace of mind", yet this trip we did have a minor mishap with a stone bench, and the turn-in agent took care of the paperwork in the most pleasant terms "you have full coverage, so no problem at all". I cannot say how much that single factor saved me in grief, let alone in currency.
The inclusion of around 1/4 of a tank of diesel fuel was a nice change in the delivery policy, as previously it was a bit of a worry to find diesel close by the pick-up location, especially if you arrive at night. Both the delivery and drop-off locations were well described, and staffed by helpful agents that spoke English and were of great assistance.
I might add that the Citroen C4 Grand Picasso was an extremely nice car. A pity that they are not sold in the USA, as I would love having one.
Bryan Martin, United States, posted on 24 September 2017Summer 2017 Citroën C5 Touring lease
We really enjoyed the whole car lease experience this summer, leasing the Citroën C5 Touring from Motorvana. The representative that we used was very courteous, clear in her communication, and pleasant to work with – both via email and over the phone. Pickup in Paris was easy, and the car performed flawlessly. Having the built in GPS really made the trip much easier to drive. It was very nice that the navigation came already set up for English. While we could have used our cell phones for navigation, the built in navigation was easier to use for us, especially navigating the round-a-bouts. Having the rear camera was extremely helpful when parking on crowded streets. Engine performance was very good, the climate control worked very well. The seats were comfortable, too. We didn’t use the radio or music system at all, so we cannot comment on the quality of the sound system. Drop off was also very easy and, again, the staff was quite helpful.
It was good that we were able to look at the owner’s manual (in English) online ahead of time, as the car came with a French owner’s manual. While we could have used the French manual if we didn’t have access to the online English version, it was much easier to refer to the English version when we had questions. It might be nice to provide an option to have a printed English version (or whatever language is preferred by the customer) available. We would have paid a small surcharge for such a manual.
Based on our experience with Motorvana, we will not hesitate to use Motorvana again. We have already recommended them to people considering going to Europe on vacation.
Demetre, Orlando, posted on 13 September 2017Excellent Service
This is the second time in two years that I have used Motorvana. If you look for a good reliable company do not look any further. From the very beginning making the application till I returned the vehicle the service was exceptional. Both times I picked up the cars from Calais and toured most of Europe without any problem. all personnel involved from the States and Europe were knowledgeable, courteous and most important available all the time.
Regan , Orlando, posted on 2 September 2017Good car and good service.
The service was excellent. Pick up and drop off we're easy, quick and pleasant. The best I've ever experienced. My Citroen C4 Picasso was a great little car and loaded with hi-tech features.
Jeff Parker, Portland, Oregon, posted on 1 September 2017Top Marks for Motorvana
We leased the Citroen C4 Picasso from Motorvana for our travel through France, and were very happy with it. It was comfortable, very roomy for kids and luggage, and had many nice features such at the massage seats for better circulation. The only thing to be aware of with this model car is that it sometimes defaults to Economy Mode, which turns the car off when you've stopped for a bit - it can be switched off the mode in Settings. The GPS works well too.
Motorvana and their partners made the leasing process very simple and were able to pick us up at the airport in Toulouse. And they have a reliable fleet to choose from. Will gladly work with them again!

Kim Mayer, United States, posted on 20 August 2017The right choice
I would lease from Eurocar again. The initial leasing process was smooth. Communication via internet and phone was very good. Pick up at Marseille airport and drop off at the Rome airport was easy and quick. The car was perfect and fit our needs.
Richard Klym, Florida, posted on 16 August 2017Service at the Nice airport was excellent, all questions answered relative to vehicle operation, customer service representatives friendly, very easy to work with at pickup-up on May 5th and return on July 28th. My DS 5 vehicle was a rough ride and I will find a new model next year. This was not the problem of the agents at booking. I have been working with you for years and have always appreciated your professional and efficient service!
Lona Sepessy, United States, posted on 10 August 2017Wonderful program for tourists
We were very pleased with the lease buyback program and the security of knowing that if needed we could get assistance right away. Avoiding extra fees for registering additional drivers and taxes made this an attractive program for our month of travel. The pickup and drop off places were very limited but fortunately fit with our flight plans from two different airports. The car was the most basic model and adequate for our needs, but we could have used more time at pick-up going over specifics to the car such as radio, gears and mirror positioning. The gear ratios were very different than most manual cars I've driven - low oomph requiring a lot of gas to get started. The other problem was that although we were told that we didn't need to fill the tank, the gas in the car was minimal and we felt pressured to find a station on the unfamiliar roads and unfamiliar language resulting in a wrong turn off a toll road and 25 km of travel (and additional tolls) before getting back on the right direction. But all that said I would highly recommend this option to those travelers staying for over 21 days.
Lena, United States, posted on 9 August 2017Wonderful service.
This most recent trip is the third I have done using the services of Motorvana. Each time has been a convenient and pleasurable experience. The staff interactions, online or in person, are always positive and informative. I like the way ordering a car is laid out on the website. The information about the car styles, features, and pick up points help me plan my trips. The information has proven to be accurate on all points. The process of filling out paperwork is smoothly done and explained well. The interactions on the phone and in person at the pick up and drop off locations have always been pleasant. I am planning on using this service again in a couple years, based purely on how well my experiences have been.
Tom & Nancy, Florida, posted on 4 August 2017Tom & Nancy's Big Adventure
We picked up our C3 in Rome and spent 99 days and 8600 kilometers driving thru Italy (a month in Sicily) ferry from Ancona to Croatia for another month, Slovenia, Austria, back to lakes Como and Maaggiore in Northern Italy dropped the car off in Milano. We had great weather. The car was just the right size for driving in Europe. We got pick up and drop off free. Lease experience could not have been better. I would recommend Motorvana and will be using it again next year for a new adventure.
Amanda, Manitoba, Canada, posted on 2 August 2017Freedom
We rented a C3 for our family of four which includes 2 teen boys. We had enough room for their long legs in the back and enough trunk space for 4 back packs, a medium and small suitcase. The car, which we called Ruby, got us through 11 countries in 22 days. The only thing I would recommend is upgrading to a C4 or higher when travelling through the Alps. Ruby struggled to get up the mountains but has no problem holding her own on the Autobahn. We loved the freedom that leasing afforded us. We were able to visit Eastern European countries that were off limits with many of the rental car companies. We are already planning our next trip and will definitely be leasing again.
David Shrider, Oxford, Ohio, posted on 2 August 2017Citroen 2017

Toni, USA, posted on 1 August 2017Great experience
Third time doing a buy/lease to travel thru Italy. From the pickup at Rome airport to the drop off in Milan, the process was easy and issue free. Knowing that if anything happened while on our trip would be handled, makes the vacation more enjoyable and worry free.
John Stangel, USA, posted on 14 July 20179105 Kilometers
We spent 3 months traveling from Lisbon through Southern Europe and up to Denmark. What a trip, perfect weather and in a perfect car. We had a C5 which held all of our luggage and all of the items we purchased on the way. Stayed in Airbnb's and drove into every city, using the car rather than mass transit. Didn't have one incident with the car, it was a diesel, had great power and was a pleasure to drive. I lived in Europe in the 90's and owned a Citroen, which I loved to drive, great handling and comfort. The C5 was a pleasure and had the power and ease for the German Autoban. Pickup in Lisbon was perfect after our long flight from the US west coast, delivery in Amsterdam couldn't have been easier. We will definitely use Motorvana and Citroen again.

We had a flawless experience leasing a Citroen from Motorvana. We picked up a new C3 in Toulouse, drove it for 36000 Km across five countries, over the Alps and the Dolomites, finally dropping it off in Munich. It couldn't possibly have been easier. Thanks Motorvana.
James Lafferty, Los Angeles, posted on 8 July 2017Great experience
This was a smart and eceomical way to rent a car if you're going to use the car for a month or more. It was easy and the people we dealt with couldn't have been nicer and more helpful.
Ron Arnone, USA, posted on 7 July 2017Love the program, love Motorvana!
We just finished a 2-month tour of Western Europe covering seven counties from the Netherlands to South of France. This is our 2nd France/Europass adventure, the previous being four months in 2015 exploring France, Italy, Spain and Portugal. Then and now, Motorvana was easy and assured. The Europass program is DEFINITELY the best way to see Europe if you’re lucky enough to have the time. We enjoy cruising the countless small towns and villages scattered throughout Europe, South of France in particular. I did manage to scrape the back passenger rear panel on Day One, creeping through a narrow hotel portal (driveway?) in Bruges, Belgium. Darn! My wife is adamant it was my fault (!?!?), but in any event it was smooth sailing after that. Our Citroen Picasso C4 was the perfect touring car (same model we drove in 2015), and with the diesel and manual transmission fuel costs were very comfortable. My only complaint is that we could not get a rear-view camera (great!) without upgrading to a more expensive model, but Citroen’s parking sensor system worked well enough once we got used to the constant beeping in tight traffic.
Five stars...Love the program, love Motorvana!
Larry Bergstrom, Austin, TX, posted on 10 June 2017The automobile and its attending service was beyond all my expectations. I will definitely be a customer again on my next trip to Europe.
Dan Jansen, 8039 Happiness Way, posted on 1 June 2017We picked up our Citroen Picasso automatic in Paris after spending a few days there and begun our journey all around France. We were impressed with the comfort and the luggage space which helped to make our trip very relaxing as well as the the size of the car which could negotiate the very narrow streets of the more ancient towns. It was a very enjoyable experience.
Cynthia Ruff, Austin TX USA, posted on 12 May 2017Citroen Lease
Our experience with our Citroen was excellent. We arrived late in Nice (airline problems) but the agent was waiting for us and patiently explained all the working details of the car. The car itself ran beautifully and was equipped with all the latest electronic safety systems. We would have been lost without the GPS. The car had plenty of pickup and power and drove very smoothly. It also had plenty of room and was vey comfortable. Returning the vehicle took about ten minutes and was effortless. On our next trip to France we will certainly lease another Citroen through Motorvana.
Henri, USA, posted on 27 March 2017Great time !
Leased a Citroen C4 4 door hatch / diesel / 6 spd manual trans - from 13 Jan 17 to 09 Feb 17 Pick up and drop off @ CDG airport. Original online reservation was efficient and easy. Pickup was super easy and quick, called the toll free number (English speaker), shuttle pickup @ airport, very short ride to leasing office, staff / representative were very thorough, friendly and helpful (I don't speak French). The car itself was very comfortable, performed very well and the MPG's were fantastic! The gas tank on this C4 was larger and the driving range was great. My itinerary included Paris, San Sebastian, Bilbao, Segovia, Madrid, Sierra De Gredos, Merida, Seville, Tarifa, Gibraltar, Malaga, Valencia, Barcelona, Montpellier, Lyon, Lille and Bruges. The car preformed without flaw and was very easy to maneuver in all cities visited. Return of the car was just as easy and quick ! If you're planning a long term itinerary that includes a car, seriously consider this option. I definitely will in the future. Thanks Motorvana for all you do, it made my long term European journey a positively memorable experience !!!
Alyson Miller, USA, posted on 22 March 2017Great experience, highly recommend it to reduce stress of renting!
It was almost entirely a stress-free process. Many of the little pieces seem outdated (communication is not very streamlined, I would like a more central email to correspond with, and more immediate responses or call backs when there are issues), but overall the process was easy and truly reduced my stress of driving a rental car in a foreign country.
Pick up/drop off should also probably be made a little easier/modern. Perhaps an online scheduling? Or better instructions on how to get to the harder to find pick up/drop off locations?
But I again digress! When I did communicate with the company, they were polite, helpful, and understanding. There were no hidden hoops to jump through, no hidden costs to worry about, and no hidden loopholes through which to gouge me. It was one of the easiest, most straightforward experiences of my life!
Also, the car was great and I miss it :)
Carolyn Lamuniere, 2953 Plaza Blanca, posted on 23 October 2016My my husband and I rented a Citroen in Oct. for a month. This is the third time we have rented from your company. Two years ago we rented a Peugeot. We have loved all our cars. Really loved them. They ran well, were fantastic to drive, and easy to manoeuvre through windy alleys and little towns. We wanted to take them home but they wouldn't fit in our suitcases. We will rent from you again.

Joe Pirozzi, Raleigh, NC, posted on 22 October 2016Fantastic Experience
My family and I spent the last 5 weeks touring the Italian countryside. Prior to going, I was considering a rental car but was a little reluctant because of all of the liability associated with renting not to mention the unknown with the age and quality of the prospective vehicle. In addition, I needed a larger vehicle to transport 6 of us with all of our luggage. I then discovered the viable option to lease. Initially, I hesitated to consider leasing as I was concerned with all of the 'strings and responsibilities' attached to such a commitment. After doing a bit of research, and working with Eric Bredesen, I found the 'strings and liabilities' were non-existent as the program from Motorvana was not only very attractive but the price was reasonable and the process was painless. Eric did an excellent job in walking me through the procedure and assisting me in working with Citroen Euro Pass. The bottom line is the Motorvana lease was the best decision I could have made in acquiring a car for the 5 weeks and Eric was instrumental in my selection of his company. We picked-up the car without hassle when we arrived and it was even an easier process upon its return. We drove into the yard, was met by an employee who did a walk around, went into the office to turn in the keys and paperwork, and walked away scot-free as their shuttle took us to our overnight hotel.THANK YOU ERIC!!!

This is our second lease with Motorvana and they continue to set the bar for other European Leasing agencies. This lease was for a Citroen C3, for a 21-day tour of France. Working with the Motorvana staff to secure the leasing documents was a breeze. A few weeks prior to the pick-up date of our car in Nice, we received an email explaining there was a manufacturing delay of our C3 and Citroen would be upgrading us to a C4. The pickup at the Nice airport was a smooth as expected, the car was what we expected and the only disappointment was that the exterior of the car (black) was covered in dust as if it had been sitting on the lot for a while. Regardless, the dust didn't impact the vehicle's performance, which was fine. The only downside to the Citroen C4 was the turning radius wasn't as small as I expected, which made U-turning a challenge. The car had plenty of room for 2-adults, it drove and handled well. The return in Paris was as smooth as the pick-up after we found the TTCar return lot. Using the both the address and GPS coordinates provided by Citroen, brought us to the back of the drop-off lot and it's exit only. We are seasoned travelers and allowed ourselves plenty of time for situations such as this so it wasn't a problem to drive around the airport looking for the entrance, which only added another 15-minutes. I recommend Citroen and/or TTCar review their address and GPS coordinates and ensure they bring customers to the proper return location. We definitely lease from Motorvana again for our next European excursion.
Nicole, Arizona, posted on 24 September 2016C3 lease in France for close to 4 months
Nice little car mechanically. I have leased a Citroen for several summers through Motorvana. In previous years, I have leased small Peugeot or Renault which Motorvana no longer represents. Additionally, the Renault Clio has "grown" in size over the years so the C3 is now the smallest sedan available. From my experience, a small vehicle is desirable in France due to the narrowness of the back roads, streets, and parking spaces. No complaint whatsoever with Motorvana. However, this summer was the first time I had a couple of gripes with Citroen. 1) The car was delivered without a manual. The delivery outfit did not have any -- in my car and in all other cars awaiting pickup. Upon my insistence, they requested one from the Citroen distribution platform. After 10 days, I received one through the mail. I am thankful of the vehicle delivery outfit for their assistance in this matter. 2) The second issue I had was that the GPS data base was pretty bad. It guided me through wrong way streets or inexistent streets or staired passages -- which I obviously did not take. I went to the regional Citroen dealership but they refused to update the data base, pretending that it could get worse rather than better. I have never had such a bad GPS data base in previous years with either Citroen or Renault. All in all, the car was satisfactory and big enough for a one-week trip with three people and their luggage. The car is comfortably steady on autoroutes.

Excellent experience renting through Citroen Europass. Car was exactly as expected and everything was exactly as detailed. No surprises! I also rented through Motorvana for a rental car in the USA. Saved huge on full coverage and 3rd party liability insurance which is pretty much required when driving in USA without your own insurance. Will be so happy to rent from these guys again next holiday!

Another great experience this year with Motorvana and Citroen. The Citroen C4 Grand Picasso is the perfect car for our trips to Portugal. It seats 5 comfortably with loads of room for luggage, and it can seat a couple of kids in the back when you need to take a couple of extras. The price was great and Motorvana service is excellent as was the pick up and drop off. I recommend leasing with Motorvana and Citroen.
Kenneth Kobus, 8 Case Circle, West Simsbury, CT 06092, posted on 11 July 2016Good Value
Everything went well with my lease. The pick-up and drop-off process was easy and convenient. The person who delivered the car to me at the beginning of the trip in Calais input the drop off directions into the GPS when he gave me the car. That was very helpful. I was happy to have GPS as an added feature in my Citroen because of all the back roads we took throughout France. The only issues with the GPS were its lack of knowledge of Old Brugge and it didn't recognize one-way streets in most cases - a little inconvenient at times in big cities. The car ran well and was just the right size to hide our luggage and easy to park even in tight spaces.
The MOTORVANA site was easy to use and my communication with the support staff was excellent.
The one thing I was disappointed with was the "pitch" by MOTORVANA at the end of 2015 to make sure you book your car by 12/31/2015 for the best price. I did and then the price went down at the beginning of 2016. That came across at a bit unethical.
This is the second time I've used MOTORVANA and, overall, its been a good experience again. I like the fact that full insurance is included in the lease.

After we found him the rest of the procedure was great. He was great in giving us all the necessary instructions for pick up and returning the car including the time. He was very accommodating, helpful and spoke good English. It was a wonderful experience. I would use them again

Barb Law, posted on 9 December 2015Another very satisfied customer of Motorvana's and the Car Lease program in Europe. I picked up a Citroen Berlingo in Lyon and dropped it off at the Rome airport Fiumicino location. The car was great - drove it over 13,000 km through France, Sicily and mainland Italy without a hitch performance wise. I did have a mishap of my own in Amboise, France - going down a road that quickly became too narrow for the car! Had to back out a few hundred meters and managed to scrape the side mirrors and a bit on the back. As has been reported by others there were no problems at all when I brought the car back. I have to give special kudos to the Fiumicino drop off site - I expect that I will do this again, but next time would happily pick up and drop off the car at the Fiumicino site. The guys at the return spot were awesome - spoke great English. I was able to book an awesome little spot for the night that literally was within 100 meters of the drop off(Aquila di Mare) - and provided a shuttle to the airport for 10 Euros. Also there was a nearby car wash service that did complete interior and exterior cleaning for 10 Euros - awesome! Made everything completely easy. Awesome experience!
Walter, posted on 8 December 2015Fantastc service. We travelled for 2 1/2 months. At one time we had a little mishap with the car. There was some damage but the car was drivable. I called them and they assured us that if we are ok to drive to continue with our trip. They called a few days later and followed up again to make sure everything is good. We returned the car in Geneva and there was no question asked about the damage because there is full insurance coverage with a zero deductible. The friendly clerk drove us back to the airport. I can only recommend this deal to anybody. Will do this again next year.
Brad, posted on 26 November 2015Really great experience. Everything worked on the ground in France as advertised.

In this case, it was too good to be true, but was true! Thank-you!
Tony and Paula O, posted on 17 November 2015Our first lease through Motorvana was 12 years ago. First class service and assistance with Eric and the crew in Portland ever since 2003. This year was two months and 8830km in France, Germany and Italy with a Picasso C3. Motorvana made it easy with our 3 or 4 schedule changes and short term rental after our lease was done. Thanks again to Motorvana, we look forward to our next opportunity to book another car with you.
Sylvia, posted on 16 November 2015Easy, easy, no waiting in line, car was ready when we arrived. Love the C3! Traveled all over France. Front desk when called we're very helpfull. Best way to rent a car. Will do it again. Thanks.
Karen, posted on 7 November 2015This was absolutely the way to go. The car was ready, and brand new and exactly as we expected. We put 12 000 km on it in 7 weeks and had absolutely no problems. We changed our drop off location to Spain and this was hassle free and quick. As well, the drop off gave us a ride free of charge to the airport. We will use this service again for sure.
Dennis, posted on 5 November 2015As a rookie Motorvana user, I have to say that this is the only way to rent a car in Europe. From the initial registration with Motorvana to the final drop-off at Charles de Gaulle, everything was handled smoothly and professionally. Except for a faulty component of the fuel system, which Citroen immediately replaced, our C3 (gas engine, manual transmission) performed well with excellent gas mileage (42 mpg) over 3 months (6000 km). The GPS was excellent. You can't beat the price, the fact you've got a new car, and the quality people throughout.
Jack and Barbara Clarke, posted on 5 November 2015We had a wonderful experience again with Motorvana. Everything went smoothly on our 5+ week trip in France, Spain and Switzerland. The pickup and drop off went as planned and the car (Citroen Picasso) was perfect for us. It had great storage and driving it was very easy. We will be back with Motorvana as soon as we plan the next trip!
Lary and Rachel, posted on 2 November 2015This was the fifth time with Motorvana. Superb, again. Citroen C4 was great, fast, agile, and looked wonderful. Agents and paperwork, easy and helpful. We really liked the month long test of driving in Marseille, Genova, and Lyon. Driving in SF is a snap, in comparison. Everything was smooth, easy, and a joy. Motorvana is the only way to go.
Marv V, posted on 28 October 2015This was my second lease from Motorvana. The first lease was so successful I wanted to lease the exact same car. The ordering, processing and pickup was very easy. The GPS in the car was outstanding. I did have two issues not related to Motorvana. #1: At my pickup point the leasing agents could not get the France SD card out of the GPS to replace it with the Europe map. That process took over an hour so our departure was delayed. #2: Although the car we received only had 5km on the odometer, by the time we had driven a few hours I noticed the entire back window had a film all over it. It was diesel fuel. Luckily I found a repair facility and the repair was done the next day. Thanks to the Road Assistance group for a taxi to/from my hotel. Very interesting repair process since the repair shop spoke no English and we spoke no French. Google translate on our smartphone saved the day.
Steve K, posted on 13 October 2015This was our second time (first was in 2011) using Motorvana for trip of just over 3 weeks. As in 2011, the experience was hassle free, between ordering, documentation preparation, pick-up, and drop-off everything was seamless. I believe 3 weeks is about the point at which the buyback option equals the cost of a rental. We felt since there is $0-deductible insurance, and extra support as compared to a rental, it is definitely better to go with a buyback even if your trip is only 3-4 weeks.
Ken and Trish, posted on 5 October 2015This was our 2nd time leasing from Motorvana and both times it has been a very positive experience. This time round we were given maps to find the locations and this proved much easier to follow than in 2008. We were dealt with promptly and professionally with plenty of tips on details to our next destination. I appreciate most the fact that the price you pay is exactly what you pay. No attempts to upsell insurance like normal rental cars.
Aleksandar Janicijevic, posted on 25 September 2015This is second time we are leasing car from Motorvana. This time from Marseille, France. Same as last time, everything went smoothly and to our complete satisfaction. Even the slight problem, we stepped on the nail and our left rear tyre was loosing pressure, was handled exceptionally professionally in Citroen service in Beograd, Srbija. They fixed our tyre within 30 min without charging us anything. Excellent experience again, thank you Motorvana.
Nicole W., posted on 19 September 2015I have leased a car every summer for at least 10 years from Motorvana. I have had Peugeot, Renault (no longer available through Motorvana this year), Citroen. This summer I had a Citroen C3 and I loved it: spacious enough for one or two folks, but small enough to be comfortable on the narrow French roads, streets, and parking lots. I hope Citroen will not "grow" the C3 as Renault did the "Clio" over the years. The ordering process could not be simpler. No sweat! Picking up a leased car at a French airport is so much faster than renting a car. No hassle, no haggling. You get a brand new vehicle with enough gas in it to reach your first night abode. The only unknown is the color of the vehicle. I guess that it not very important. A great solution to the question of wheels in France.

Greg S., posted on 10 September 2015I stumbled upon Motorvana trying to solve my very expensive problem of a one way rental car in Europe. This turned out to be the perfect solution picking up a C3 Picasso in Lisbon and returning it right across the France border from Barcelona in Montpellier. Not only did the brand new car work perfectly and the insurance offered great piece of mind ... but I changed my plans a couple weeks prior to my departure and Motorvana quickly and easily made the adjustment and saved me $300 by dropping the car in France instead of Italy. The folks at Motorvana were great to work with on the phone and then the agents in person at the pick-up and drop off points. Did I mention this was a far better economical solution than any of the major car rental companies. I absolutely will be a repeat customer. Thanks Motorvana !!!!
Jean-Pierre F., posted on 7 September 2015We leased a brand new C4 Picasso for nearly 4 weeks and got upgraded at no charge to the top of the trim (exclusive model). After researching car rental options, we concluded that this was the best deal for our 4-week vacation. We drove the car for nearly 5000 km and enjoyed the experience (there was a large touch screen in the car, including GPS); we were even able to pack 5 adults and their luggage at one point. The paperwork with Motorvana was straightforward and everything happened as described by Motorvana. The picking up and returning of the car was quick and painless, and the staff at CDG was efficient and customer friendly.
Peter H, posted on 6 September 2015Our experience with leasing a car through Motorvana was just excellent, from all the help in deciding which car to lease through to the pick-up and eventual drop off. I would certainly recommend Motorvana for worry free car leasing given our great experience.
Doug B, posted on 3 September 2015We leased a Citroen C5 from Motorvana for two weeks this summer and it made our entire trip a wonderful experience. Everything from securing our lease with our Motorvana contact to picking up the car, driving it in all conditions and returning it was convenient, comfortable, professional, and affordable. The car was a great drive, very roomy and the GPS guided us from country to country effortlessly. I would recommend Motorvana and Citroen to all.
Joe Lompart, posted on 1 September 2015We leased a C4 Picasso this summer for four weeks. The car was roomy yet small enough to to get around tight streets in Europe. It truly could not have been easier. We flew in and out of CDG. Check in and check out were a breeze. It was nice not having to worry about insurance in a foreign land. I highly recommend this program, and look forward to using it in the future!
Ali A., posted on 12 August 2015We rented Citroen C5 for a month and drove for 6000K. Car was very comfortable. We also could fit three large luggage. I also like to thank the two people who helped the pick up and drop off. They were very flexible and helpful. I wish they have more pick up and drop off locations such as Limoge , Coruna and Ourense. I will use this company again!!!
'Nette, posted on 6 August 2015After years of looking for the right vehicle solution for our long-term travel in and around Europe, a chance recommendation from a friend sent us to Motorvana. I have recommended the service to dozens of others now, because the service so far outstrips any other methodology: renting, purchase-and-sell, borrowing...everything. From the white-glove service to the perfect car to the baby-smooth process, every aspect of the process was spot-on. I couldn't be happier.
John, posted on 20 July 2015This was our first lease with Motorvana. I wish that I found them sooner. The service was top notch and the pickup and drop off was amazingly simple. Scott was thorough and patient in answering questions. The C4 was a breeze to drive. The diesel had plenty of power for entering highways. The 6 speed manual transmission was exceptionally smooth and braking was positive with good control of the vehicle. Fortunately, I didn't test the airbags. The GPS was helpful although it occasionally got lost. French toll booths were a challenge and an adventure. Different roads are owned by different companies so the toll equipment varies. I am looking forward to leasing another vehicle from Motorvana.
Gregg and Nancy, posted on 13 July 2015First time my wife and I lease from Motorvana and we were very pleased with our Citroen C4 Picasso van that we picked up/dropped off at the Marseille airport. The attendants were very helpful and pleasant to work with. It took very little time to get & return the vehicle. Scott Baxter was great to work with throughout the process and answered our questions promptly. Everything went as stated in all the information we received from Motorvana & Citroen. We will definitely consider using Motorvana on a future trip.
Annette Buck, posted on 11 July 2015Our leasing experience with Motorvana was great! It was simple and fast. We picked up our brand new vehicle and enjoyed driving it for 14 days through France. Scott was extremely helpful when we decided to upgrade to a different vehicle about a month before we were supposed to lease the car. I would recommend your company to anyone. So much easier than renting. Thank you very much.
Linda, posted on 1 July 2015Scott was incredibly helpful as we sorted through options. Much better than a rental agency. He was patient and thorough answering questions. Pick up and drop off a breeze. Berlingo perfect choice for our equipment (2 paragliders). Totally recommend this approach for an extended European stay. Excellent customer service - worry free.
Mel, posted on 27 June 2015First time with Motorvana. Pickup was without issues. Dropoff not simply easy, but facilitated since we hit traffic heading to CDG. The Citroen C5 was a perfect recommendation from Motorvana given that we were going to have 4 people in the car with luggage for part of the trip. Also a bit cheaper than other websites. I love leasing because of the worry free driving. I will lease through them again.
Roaming Robin, posted on 23 June 2015This was a breeze. So different from dealing with the car rental companies. Everything went well and, when I had questions during the paperwork process, prior to actually getting the car, the Portland office was extremely good. The only thing that slightly threw me was that the user guide for the GPS emailed to me ahead of time was written for an older model of Citroen. Fortunately by combination of the French guide that came with the car and my (bad) French, I was able to figure it out!
K Dolan, posted on 19 June 2015This is my 6th trip using Motorvana and I will use them again. The pickup in Barcelona was great - pickup from the airport was speedy, and the intro to the car was detailed. They even preset the GPS to English, and programmed in the return location. Drop off was equally easy, with a quick ride to the hotel, even though there was only one guy on duty at the return station. The return process was a snap. The car, a Citroen C4, was nice. The GPS was usually right on the money getting me to where I was going, even though I was in very rural parts of Spain and France. It didn't work for finding points of interest however, which was a problem. The paperwork process is improved over previous years. I will use Motorvana again, and recommend it to everyone who needs a car in Europe.
G. Pope, posted on 19 June 2015This must be our 6th lease via Motorvana. Scott Baxter was his usual excellent help and the pre documentation from him was clear and explicit. We leased a Citroen C3 diesel and were quite pleased with it. This was our first Citroen as all the other cars were Renault. Good pick up and mileage, good storage and came equipped with a GPS. We didn't use that much as I had brought one with me with a lot of preloaded POI's. We picked up the car in Bordeaux and the fellow was quite helpful. Problem in Bordeaux is that you have to phone on a landline to the car pick up place so he will come and get you. In the Bordeaux airport there are NO public telephones. Even the pickup guy said this has become a problem. So what we did and what he recommended for others was get the nice lady at the information desk to dial out for us. Of course, if you have a cell hone that works in France, that would work also but you would pay for the call. We returned the car after 34 days and 4200km to Nice. The instructions to find the TT office for return were great and the pictures helped. It also helped that I had used Google Earth Street View to find my way there in advance. In Nice, after the simple drop off process, there was no transport to the airport or our hotel as there was only 1 guy on duty. A short walk to Terminal 2 and we could take the free shuttle to Terminal 1 and then walk over to our hotel. If you aren't mobile with your luggage, then call a taxi. So thanks Scott. We look forward to another trip in the near future.
R. Martinengo, posted on 17 June 2015We were upgraded to a Citroen Picasso, but I would have preferred a smaller car driving through the narrow maze of streets in Portugal and Spain. The GPS worked between cities, but got confused in thee center of towns. Very friendly person at the Lisbon airport, and he was not upset at all when we returned the car with an ugly crease in the side door...thank goodness for the zero deductabil! Next time we'll get an automatic...
T. Ruff, posted on 1 June 2015This was my fifth or sixth experience with Motorvana in leasing a car in Europe. Mr. Baxter was very helpful and kind and our experience once in Europe was better than I could get from any auto rental agency. We highly recommend short term leasing if you are even close to needing a car for 3 weeks and Motorvana is an excellent choice.
Jacques Lapeyre, posted on 18 May 2015First time my wife and I leased from Motorvana and we were very pleased with our Citoen C3 from Paris Roissy airport and back there for the return. Attendants were helpful and instructions very good. Scott Baxter was very kind throughout the process and answers questions promptly. The car was very economical and had plenty of space for 3 suitcases (one big, 2 small). We will definitely use Motorvana on our next trip.
J Braun, posted on 26 April 2015We have been leasing for several years now & are very happy with the Motorvana/TT service. Two things stand out for us:* the guarantee to pick up the chosen vehicle (I was offered a choice of a jeep or a convertible at a rental agency one day in Florida or to wait several hours for a "normal" car to be returned!)* the zero deductible which proved invaluable when our car (and apartment) was severely flooded. A rental car was provided the next day and a brand new replacement car delivered to our door within 72 h. That's service!
Margaret Thibodeau, posted on 24 December 2014This was our third long term lease with Motorvana, and we were just as happy with it, as we were our first. As usual, Scott was helpful, and answered all of our e-mails, quickly. This time we had a Citroen Picasso, automatic, and loved it. We had a bit of trouble getting used to a different kind of automatic, it would gear down like an manual, but after getting used to that, it was a dream. Pick up and drop off, went smoothly, with both attendants being friendly and helpful. We will lease again next year, and would recommend this company to everyone.
Dave Price, posted on 25 November 2014Leased a Citroen Picasso from Motorvana and put on 8,230 kilometers in our travels throughout Europe. No issue or problems from the time of initial lease to pickup and return of the vehicle. It was a very enjoyable experience and I would recommend Motorvana to other travelers looking to drive in Europe. If we ever make a extended trip through Europe again I would definitely go the same route. In addition Scott Baxter was very prompt in responding to all of our questions.
Don, posted on 20 November 2014Scott Baxter from Motorvana was very helpful in setting us up with a diesel Citroen C3. The car had 8 km on the odometer when we picked it up and enough fuel to drive well over 100 km. This was our second rental from Motorvana, and both involved pickup and drop-off at different locations (Paris, Lyons, Bordeaux). Staff at all locations were very helpful. I used my own GPS this time and was pleased to see that the Citroen drop-off was listed under the "car rental" header for Charles de Gaulle, so no difficulties at all finding the place.
Elenita and Kari, posted on 3 November 2014We leased a Citroen C3 gasoline automatic for 29 days in September to drive around France. The leasing process was professional yet customer friendly. The C3's performance and comfort exceeded our expectations. We really liked the Zenith windscreen, that provided a wider view of the scenery, and the surprisingly roomy cargo space. The GPS efficiently took us to our destinations. This is the first time we leased a car thru Motorvana and it will not be the last. Thanks to Scott Baxter in Montreal and the staff at the pick-up and delivery centre in Paris.
Ric Phillips, posted on 3 October 2014Motorvana was good to deal with. Easy pick up and easy return, making the whole car lease thing about as stress free as it can be. There were no added charges and our Citroen Picasso was brand new when we got it, and it performed great. The GPS was programmed for English and even though it took us a while to figure it out, it was wonderful to have.
Roland Girardet, posted on 29 September 2014We leased automobile in Europe for several years. This year's C3 Citroen was the best car ever.The car is responsive, comfortable in cities, in mountains and on Expressways. The automatic transmission worked perfectly well. We have no negative comments, only praise for this automobile. Thank you.
Norman and Margaret Stevens, posted on 18 September 2014This is the third time we have had a car through Motorvana and again we had no problems. We would recommend using Motorvana to anyone. One gets much more value for money than renting a car through a rental company. The GPS in the car was not very user friendly. Fortunately we had our own with us so that worked out well.
Louise, posted on 24 August 2014We have used Motorvana for four consecutive years. The entire staff is service-oriented and the value is excellent. We have picked up and returned our Citroen Picasso C3 in various cities with ease. We think the Motorvana system is a winner.
Sharon Hallgrimson, posted on 20 August 2014Fantastic! I picked up a car in Nice at the beginning of May and drove it for 2 months. The process was efficient and the experience exceeded expectations. I'd become accustomed to picking up rental cars that were past their "sale date" and suffering from prior rental abuse. My vehicle was a dream to drive, and once I returned to the US I actually researched the possibility of buying one in California. Unfortunately, the car is not available in the US. Scott was extremely helpful throughout the process, and I look forward to working with MOTORVANA again next year. High on the list of plusses was the immediate accessibility of the car - within minutes I was on the road. The return was without hassle as well. I only wish the drop-off fees outside of France were less, but an extra 4 hours to my destination was a small price to pay.
Erich, posted on 8 August 2014We leased a brand new Citroen DS5 for our month abroad and couldn't have had a better experience. We picked it up at Frankfurt Airport and returned it to Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam. The car was in fantastic condition, the representatives we dealt with at the beginning and end of our lease were informative, helpful and were easy to talk to. Our experience was amazing and we'd recommend this a thousand times over (if I haven't already).
Richard, posted on 4 August 2014Did some homework before leasing through Motorvana and even had my brother in law who sells vehicle insurance check this all out before we went ahead. Every question we had was answered and Scott was more than great to deal with. Picked up the vehicle in Frankfurt and drove it for five weeks before dropping it of in Amsterdam. Everything was excellent and will certainly do this again on our next trip to Europe.
Jerry R, posted on 10 June 2014The leasing process was painless, pickup at Schiphol Amsterdam was easy, but returning the car was difficult, the place was not easy to find...better directions to the return place would greatly help. other than that no complaints.
Bruce and Maria, posted on 9 June 2014The info sent to us before the trip about the car was timely and complete. Service at pick-up in Paris (Pt St Cloud) and return in Madrid (MAD) worked perfectly. All attendants spoke English. All systems were explained including a GPS demo. Our Citroen C-4 was excellent. We had 2 large bags, 2 small ones plus 2 hand bags, and we were full, but very comfortable. Drove about 4000 Km through France and Spain over 60 days. The GPS was excellent. Saved us when we were lost, too! We never needed service, but the shops were everywhere. As to the cost, this lease was a bargain compared to a pure rental. We saved an estimated 50%, plus we had full insurance coverage (no deductible). We will be back to Motorvana again for out next trip. Thanks so much.
John and Peggy Heywood, posted on 4 June 2014This is the third time we have leased a car out of Rome airport for two months in Italy. The whole transaction could not have been smoother. Great service, good value.
