Car rental in Marseille

A picturesque and cosmopolitan city, Marseille is the capital of the Provence Region. Once your car rental is arranged, there are many fascinating sights to discover in France's second largest city and the surrounding area.

While much of the city of Marseille can be explored on foot, car rental is really useful when travelling into the Provence countryside. With its beautiful landscape, it's no wonder the nearby town of Arles was an inspiration for Vincent Van Gogh. For a great car rental day trip, we recommend a drive out to the Luberon Massif, with its rural vineyards and farms made famous in Peter Mayles' book 'A Year in Provence'.

Further out into the Provence Region, car rental gives you access to the picturesque town of Aix en Provence and the colourful landscape that inspired Cezanne. You can additionally use car rental to reach the Roman monuments in the towns of Orange and Glanum. A visit to tranquil and historic Avignon is also highly recommended.

The wider Provence Region has a number of famous vineyards, and we suggest a car rental trip to either the Cotes du Rhone, Cotes de Provence or Bandol wine producing areas. Further out still, your car rental tour will take you to the magnificent Alps de Haute Provence, for some skiing in winter or horse riding and walking in summer.

Marseille itself is a remarkable and architecturally fascinating city, and while its sights can best be explored on foot or using public transport, you will need car rental to discover the surrounding countryside and towns.
