If you are staying a minimum of 17 days, consider leasing a car through Renault or Peugeot. They have programs that are more than competitive with the rental companies and you are guaranteed a brand new car. The disadvantage is that pickup and dropoff almost always must be at airports. I first checked out Renault (which we used) through renaultusa.com. You can get information about the Peugeot lease through autoeurope.com.
