Be ready for tolls if driving from city to city. Also opt for smaller car because parking spots are very narrow in southern France.
SamSept 2024
Try to book your car away from the airport. There is a premium charge to rent at the airport.
Verified travelerJul 2024
I liked having an electric car as my hotel had a charging area for free. Wouldn’t risk it though if you aren’t staying somewhere with convenient charging. Also signage is not helpful for going to the rental station.
Verified travelerMay 2024
Avoid driving in nice itself if possible. Car is great for connecting between cities or visiting less crowded places
BenNov 2023
Google maps works pretty good. A little confusing figuring out how to fill gas in the car, with so many fuels and grades available. The easiest when paying toll roads, is to use a credit card. Roundabouts are a God send, so much more fluid traffic movement.
LaurenOct 2023
Good place for a car. Make sure your hotel has parking on site.
LinusSept 2023
Auto transmission recommended due to steep narrow roads. Watch out for two wheelers who do not obey any traffic rules.
RonjiJul 2023
Great company, great service, good clean cars, wide selection, attractive prices for rentals: but make sure you buy insurance at the time of booking. Will rent again; this is my second time renting from them in Europe.

KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Nice

  • Renting a car makes it easy for you to see many attractions throughout France. With a hire car you’ll be able to drive along the coast to marvel at the beautiful scenery or relax on the beach on the French Riviera. Having a car will also give you access to other towns like Cannes (known for its film festival) and Monte Carlo.
  • The Nice Airport is popular with tourists looking to visit the French Riviera. Several hire car companies have locations at the airport. Once you’re off the plane, simply go to the arrival hall where you will find most of the car hire desks in Terminal 1. A shuttle is available to get to car hire agencies located in Terminal 2.
  • Nice offers tourists a well-organized and advanced highway system for travel. Still, driving in Nice can have its challenges. First, drivers in Nice have a tendency to avoid using their turn signals, which can be rather dangerous. Consequently, you will need to drive with more alertness and be ready for drivers making sudden stops or turns. Additionally, throughout France there are several automated toll booths. Therefore you should have a credit card or cash (in euros) readily available.
  • When deciding what time to travel to enjoy the surrounding sights of the French Riviera, you’ll want to consider rush hour in and around Nice. Regular commuters typically drive to work on weekdays from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and return home from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. During these hours you can expect to experience congestion and traffic jams.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Nice for $42 or less
  • Book your rental car in Nice at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Mini rental cars in Nice are around 42% cheaper than other car types, on average

Our car was great and dropping off was great. The real issue was in picking up the car. We came from Nice, not from the airport which was the first challenging part. There was not an address on our rental confirmation so we just used google to look up Sixt rental. Google took us to a place inside the airport. We waited there for over 30 minutes and then the worker told us that we had to go to a different place, but didn't really clearly explain where. When we did find the rental place it was very obvious and I think would be really easy to find if you were landing there in the airport, but very frustrating experience.

The car was fine. Clean and in good shape. The pick up experience was a “strong arm” to buy insurance. My credit card covers and CDW issues, but I was forced to sign (a copy of a copy of a copy) a form that I could be on the hook for $50,000.00 (for a Nissan?) if I had an accident. I was completely shot from a long travel day, so I agreed to the insurance. It took a very long time to complete the process and it was not very satisfying. I assumed Europcar was a major player, which is why I chose them. I’ll not make that mistake again. Read the reviews!!!!

Uncoordinated efforts between hertz and Kayak- lead me to not get the vehicle as advertised and promised and therefore had to overpay hugely to get the real value from my Nice trip.

For some reason when I went to pick the car she told me her colleague had said that I had cancelled tje reservation which I hadn't and not received any email confirmation of this. Luckily she made a new one and the car was still available. Also on kayak it said booking for 5 people car but the priceless booking said 2 person so i had to clarify that. Car was good and the lady was helpful.

Started great with an upgrade for free. Loved the car. But real unfortunate and bad ending as the company tried to charge us €500 for a very minor scratch that we did not do. Luckily my wife was still in town and went to see the car, upon which they reduced define to 100euros.

Alamo was horrific. Our plane was delayed due to storms. I had booked the car earlier than our anticipated landing. When I eventually reached Alamo, they said they only hold cars for 2 hours from the planned arrival time. They had let my car go and they had no others. Dispute it with your booking agent. We were left with no car after an exhausting flight. They clearly didn’t like the rental rate and were keen to not let us take the hire car. One we had already paid for. Really rude and unhelpful.
