Prices and availability for Nice come through our partner networks, EconomyBookings and Discover Cars. Your booking completes on the partner's secure checkout.

Nice is the gateway to the whole Côte d'Azur, and a car turns the coast into a string of choices: the three corniche roads to Monaco, the villages of Èze and Saint-Paul-de-Vence, the Verdon gorges and the mountain roads up into the Mercantour behind the city. The Promenade and old town are best on foot, and parking along the coast is tight and expensive in July and August. Our partner network compares local and international rental companies with live prices.

Renting a car in Nice: common questions

What sort of car suits the Riviera?

Small. The coast villages have narrow lanes, tiny car parks and tight underground garages, and the corniche roads reward a car you can place easily. A compact hatchback handles the hills and motorway comfortably. Only go bigger if you are a family with luggage heading inland, where the roads open out.

Is it worth basing myself in Nice or somewhere quieter?

Nice is the practical base: the airport is on the edge of town, the A8 motorway runs behind the city in both directions, and Cannes, Antibes, Monaco and Menton are all short drives. If you want quiet, look at Villefranche or Beaulieu to the east, or the hill villages inland, and use the car for the coast rather than sleeping in it.

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 Nice, 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.
