KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Cannes
- Cannes car hire allows you to explore the beauty of the French Riviera's coastal roads at your pace. You will also avoid crowds at the station as you try to get public transit. Moreover, your time will be well managed, as you won't waste time waiting for your bus to arrive or depart. Make as many stops as you want with your own set of wheels. If you want to explore Villa Domergue and see where the jury of the Cannes Festival retires for deliberation, you need a car; otherwise, it is an uphill ride for about 10min.
- Nice Cote d'Azur International Airport (NCE) is about 30 minutes from Cannes city centre. After disembarking your plane, proceed to the car hire offices on the premises. The desks are at Gates A1/A2 in Terminal 1; in Terminal 2, you can find them between Gates A2/A3. If you arrive at the airport after 22:00, you must use the hire centre behind Parking P5, at Terminal 2. To get to Terminal 2 from Terminal 1 at that time of the night, use the complimentary shuttle available from Gate A0, on the arrivals floor. You will pick up your car from the airport's car park and proceed with your journey.
- Always drive your car hire in Cannes on the right and pass on the left. On steep hills, the cars going downhill give way to the cars travelling uphill, and the traffic lights go from red to green without an amber stage. Traffic violation fines are collected on the spot, and the police officers will escort you to the nearest ATM if you do not have enough cash.
- Driving in Cannes is an experience, as there are a few one-way streets. Be careful when driving through Rue Meynadier; it’s a major pedestrianised street. It cannot be easy to drive in Cannes during the famous Cannes Film Festival either, as the roads are full; some roads are even closed during that period. You will also experience traffic when there is a major congress. Cannes has steep hills, so be aware, as driving uphill is challenging for new drivers.
- Book your rental car in Cannes at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Intermediate rental cars in Cannes are around -31% cheaper than other car types, on average

Oct 2017
Pros:
Price was good. Car was very good and very clean.Cons:
Car pick up in Cannes was easy bit return to Grenoble train station very complicated. First, there was no indication of exact return location near the train station. Second, when we finally found out where is was, it was different from location mentioned on the internet. Third, the place to return the car was far away from the Budget place. Very messy.10.0 Wonderful
