The question of what licence you need to rent a motorhome in France will depend on the country in which your licence was issued and the MAM (maximum authorised mass) of the vehicle you are going to drive. Most modern motorhomes and our entire fleet have a MAM of 3,500 kgs/3.5 tonnes so anyone with […]
