We have selected car categories which will accommodate 2, 3 or 4 passengers with a reasonable degree of comfort, assuming normal luggage usage (i.e. golfers - 1 major piece of luggage and 1 set of golf clubs, non-golfers – 2 major pieces of luggage. Our Golf Tour Specialists will communicate any appropriate upgrade options to you at the time of booking. Below please find pictures of the typical car in the 2 and 3/4 person categories. Note: All car rentals include CDW and all local taxes.

Motorcoaches: Larger groups may want to consider upgrading to a small or large motorcoach (with a driver and escort) for extra comfort and convenience. Our Golf Tour Specialists will be pleased to discuss any upgrade options with you at time of booking.

Motorized golf carts or 'buggies' as they are referred to in Europe, are generally available at most courses in France. As a free service, The Golf Travel Co. can request golf carts in advance on behalf of each traveler. The approximate cost is $30-$40. Payment is made by the golfer directly to the Golf Club.
