The only car I have had experience with is the Citroen Picasso. I rented
this car once on a week long trip in Andalucia, Spain. Based on your
requirements, I really don't think this car would serve your purpose. There
were only 2 of us with luggage and the car proved a bit small at times. For
3 adults with luggage plus the bike, I seriously doubt if the Picasso will
be big enough for you. Perhaps the Passat wagon would be a better option.

I can't comment on the Scenic, because I leased a much smaller Clio.

However, whichever one you pick, you may find it worthwhile comparing
the costs for Eurodrive. The Renault site is (there are Citroen and
Peugot equivalents):

http://www.eurodrive.renault.com/index.php?view=1

Their minimum lease is usually 17 days, so the price may be worth
paying even if you are only using the car for two weeks. When
comparing, take into a account that insurance is totally covered (no
excesses) and there is full roadside service. It's lease-buyback, not
rental. The car is brand-new from the factory. Of all the cars I
rented on my trip, they were by far the most relaxed in their return
inspections - I had a broken mirror - no hassles.

We had the Clio for 62 days for an average of less than AU$30 per day,
but the average rises for shorter rentals.

I presume you are from the US. The site there is:
http://www.renaultusa.com/France.htm

Checking that site, the price for 17 days for a manual diesel Scenic
with A/C is US$1209. If you really want to have no problems for the
bike, then the Espace 5 Seats - 2.2dCi Diesel AC Manual CD is $1,869.

Checking that site, the price for 17 days for a manual diesel Scenic
with A/C is US$1209. If you really want to have no problems for the
bike, then the Espace 5 Seats - 2.2dCi Diesel AC Manual CD is $1,869.

I can't comment on the Scenic, because I leased a much smaller Clio.

However, whichever one you pick, you may find it worthwhile comparing
the costs for Eurodrive. The Renault site is (there are Citroen and
Peugot equivalents):

http://www.eurodrive.renault.com/index.php?view=1

Their minimum lease is usually 17 days, so the price may be worth
paying even if you are only using the car for two weeks. When
comparing, take into a account that insurance is totally covered (no
excesses) and there is full roadside service. It's lease-buyback, not
rental. The car is brand-new from the factory. Of all the cars I
rented on my trip, they were by far the most relaxed in their return
inspections - I had a broken mirror - no hassles.

We had the Clio for 62 days for an average of less than AU$30 per day,
but the average rises for shorter rentals.

I can't comment on the Scenic, because I leased a much smaller Clio.

However, whichever one you pick, you may find it worthwhile comparing
the costs for Eurodrive. The Renault site is (there are Citroen and
Peugot equivalents):

http://www.eurodrive.renault.com/index.php?view=1

Their minimum lease is usually 17 days, so the price may be worth
paying even if you are only using the car for two weeks. When
comparing, take into a account that insurance is totally covered (no
excesses) and there is full roadside service. It's lease-buyback, not
rental. The car is brand-new from the factory. Of all the cars I
rented on my trip, they were by far the most relaxed in their return
inspections - I had a broken mirror - no hassles.

We had the Clio for 62 days for an average of less than AU$30 per day,
but the average rises for shorter rentals.

I presume you are from the US. The site there is:
http://www.renaultusa.com/France.htm

Checking that site, the price for 17 days for a manual diesel Scenic
with A/C is US$1209. If you really want to have no problems for the
bike, then the Espace 5 Seats - 2.2dCi Diesel AC Manual CD is $1,869.

Their minimum lease is usually 17 days, so the price may be worth
paying even if you are only using the car for two weeks. When
comparing, take into a account that insurance is totally covered (no
excesses) and there is full roadside service. It's lease-buyback, not
rental. The car is brand-new from the factory. Of all the cars I
rented on my trip, they were by far the most relaxed in their return
inspections - I had a broken mirror - no hassles.

We had the Clio for 62 days for an average of less than AU$30 per day,
but the average rises for shorter rentals.

I presume you are from the US. The site there is:
http://www.renaultusa.com/France.htm

Checking that site, the price for 17 days for a manual diesel Scenic
with A/C is US$1209. If you really want to have no problems for the
bike, then the Espace 5 Seats - 2.2dCi Diesel AC Manual CD is $1,869.

I will just agree with what Alan said about the Renault Lease Program. I
have just booked for the fifth time (but always a smaller car)
It may not pay for just 14 days, but then it might. With the lease program
EVERTHING is included (including drivers and driving to different countries)
plus a lot of peace of mind of having a brand new vehicle with thousands of
Renault dealers in Europe. We had our window smashed in, in a small
Spanish town. The Renault dealer fixed the window in one day with no
charge. When I return the vehicle in Paris, I have never had anyone come
out to look at it. I hand over the keys and sign that I have returned it
and that is that.
Good luck
Joe

I will just agree with what Alan said about the Renault Lease Program. I
have just booked for the fifth time (but always a smaller car)
It may not pay for just 14 days, but then it might. With the lease program
EVERTHING is included (including drivers and driving to different countries)
plus a lot of peace of mind of having a brand new vehicle with thousands of
Renault dealers in Europe. We had our window smashed in, in a small
Spanish town. The Renault dealer fixed the window in one day with no
charge. When I return the vehicle in Paris, I have never had anyone come
out to look at it. I hand over the keys and sign that I have returned it
and that is that.
Good luck

I will just agree with what Alan said about the Renault Lease Program. I
have just booked for the fifth time (but always a smaller car)
It may not pay for just 14 days, but then it might. With the lease program
EVERTHING is included (including drivers and driving to different countries)
plus a lot of peace of mind of having a brand new vehicle with thousands of
Renault dealers in Europe. We had our window smashed in, in a small
Spanish town. The Renault dealer fixed the window in one day with no
charge. When I return the vehicle in Paris, I have never had anyone come
out to look at it. I hand over the keys and sign that I have returned it
and that is that.
Good luck

I will just agree with what Alan said about the Renault Lease Program. I
have just booked for the fifth time (but always a smaller car)
It may not pay for just 14 days, but then it might. With the lease program
EVERTHING is included (including drivers and driving to different countries)
plus a lot of peace of mind of having a brand new vehicle with thousands of
Renault dealers in Europe. We had our window smashed in, in a small
Spanish town. The Renault dealer fixed the window in one day with no
charge. When I return the vehicle in Paris, I have never had anyone come
out to look at it. I hand over the keys and sign that I have returned it
and that is that.
Good luck

I will just agree with what Alan said about the Renault Lease Program. I
have just booked for the fifth time (but always a smaller car)
It may not pay for just 14 days, but then it might. With the lease program
EVERTHING is included (including drivers and driving to different countries)
plus a lot of peace of mind of having a brand new vehicle with thousands of
Renault dealers in Europe. We had our window smashed in, in a small
Spanish town. The Renault dealer fixed the window in one day with no
charge. When I return the vehicle in Paris, I have never had anyone come
out to look at it. I hand over the keys and sign that I have returned it
and that is that.
Good luck
Joe
