Car rental in Nice

Capital of the Cote D'Azur, cosmopolitan Nice is an ancient city founded by the Greeks. Car rental is one of the best ways to explore this unique region, with several major attractions being outside the city centre.

With car rental it's just a short drive out to Cimiez, which sits on a hill overlooking the city below. Home to a large park with olive groves, you can visit the Matisse Museum and Franciscan Monastery on foot once there. This area also plays host to the popular Nice Jazz Festival.

Car rental is essential for trips out into the surrounding Cote D'Azur region. Nice is the gateway to the area, and we recommend a car rental journey to the vibrant Juan-les-pines with its bustling nightlife, or over to Cannes, home of the legendary Film Festival.

Driving from Nice to Monte Carlo, with its James Bond lifestyle and famous casinos, is one of the most picturesque journeys in Europe. Car rental will also make it possible for you to drive the Formula One road circuit whilst you are in Monaco.

Travelling a little further to the coast and the French Riviera, car rental travellers are presented with stunning beaches and some spectacular scenery. Along the way, you can stop at some of the rustic local villages and historic towns, plus the various inviting parks and gardens open to the public.

While the town-centre of Nice is great to explore on foot, especially during the bustling summer periods, car rental provides the best way to discover the Cote D'Azur and surrounding region.
