    So if I rent a 9 pax van and bring 8 friends to Paris, it will cost more money than if we all took separate smaller vehicles?

      Just be careful that those cars are not too heavy. Since this law says 1.6t , a Toyota Camry qualifies as an SUV

        Not a lot of Camrys in Europe, but I get your point. I think this law needs some revisions. Charging based on how many empty seats are in your vehicle upon entry and exit of the city, may be a better way.
