I do wonder what will happen with hire cars, being handed back not full then handed out not full

Don't the rental contracts normally specify that they are rented out with a full tank? So if you'd pre-booked and paid for the rental in advance they'd be in breech of their contract with you?

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Sounds like a bad moment.
We normally carry 4 cards, 2 UK credit and debit cards for each of our UK and French accounts. Fingers crossed some of those work next week, we had better check our cash as well.

@davidof is right and once all the people who have been driving around with less than half a tank have filled up in panic there won't be the same demand. |
I hope so. No petrol North of Grenoble tonight, every station was dry on my route home.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

There didn't seem to be any notable queues in Sallanches this morning, nor at that petrol station on the roundabout near the supermarket in Megeve. But in our blissful ignorance, unaware of shortages, we just thought it was too soon to fill a hired car so drove into Ferney Voltaire. Innocents abroad, we were. Not been watching telly and only listened to a few news headlines on BBC radio.

I did have enough cash to have paid in cash if necessary - but it was all "pay at the pump".

€19 refuelling fee + 23 litres @ €3.19 per litre (roughly double the current pump costs in Ferney-Voltaire)

They are charging 2.60 in Paris today, so maybe not so bad after all.
