Done the hire car in Switzerland and driven in France many a time. However, this year I will be the driver whereas previous years has been my dad so I have not had to think about details.
When I drove in france in summer in my own car, I took my own triangle, high vis and breathalysers
My question, if I hire a car from Switzerland should I expect them to be in the car?

Is that 100%?
When I went in August there was no clarity so it was better safe than sorry.

Triangle is a requirement in Switzerland too, so should (!) always be one in a Swiss hire car.
High vis and breathalyser thingy I think you'll need to bring yourself.
Good question though; we didn't think of this when we hired last year! :oops:

Thanks for the insight. Never thought of that
The local plod won't care if the broker said it was ok when you called from England
Hence the request for the insight ;)

Breathalysers are no longer necessary in France.

The legislation which requires them is still in place, but the legislation which provides for a fine has been repealed.
So,technically they are required, but there is no penalty under law for not carrying them.(If that makes it any clearer!!)
