Prices and availability for Marseille come through our partner networks, EconomyBookings and Discover Cars. Your booking completes on the partner's secure checkout.
Marseille is a port city built around its old harbour, with narrow one-way streets, steep hills and parking that fills early. You do not need a car for the Vieux-Port, Le Panier or the Calanques boat trips, but you do need one for the Calanques road to Cassis, the Luberon villages, the Camargue and the Provence hill towns that sit outside the train lines. Our partner network compares local and international rental companies with live prices.

Renting a car in Marseille: common questions
Should I pick up at the airport or in the city?
Marseille Provence airport sits at Marignane to the north-west, well placed for heading straight out to Aix, Avignon or the Luberon without crossing the city. Pick up in the centre or at Saint-Charles station if you want a car-free start in Marseille and then a car for the second half of your trip.
What is driving and parking like in Marseille itself?
Busy, tight and hilly, with underground car parks the practical option near the harbour and the corniche. A small car makes the one-way streets and the Calanques coast road far easier. Most visitors keep the car for day trips and leave it parked while they explore the old centre on foot.
What licence do I need?
A full driving licence held for at least a year is the usual requirement, and each company sets its own minimum age and young-driver conditions. If your licence is not in the Latin alphabet, bring an International Driving Permit alongside it. The exact conditions for every car are shown before you book.
Is there a deposit, and what about insurance?
Deposit and insurance terms differ between companies in Marseille, so they are shown per car before you book. You will see what is included, what the excess is, and whether a deposit is held on your card at the desk.
Where does the booking actually happen?
You search from this page and see live cars and prices on our partner’s site. When you choose one, the booking completes on their secure checkout, where you confirm the details and receive your voucher. Show the voucher at the desk on pick-up.
