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 S$ 91 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 34% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pros:
The carCons:
My scheduled pickup time was 11:00 am but our flight was early and ended up getting to the ticket counter at 9:30 am. They wouldn't issue me the car until 11:00 am so we had to sit there for an hour and a half waiting. There has to be a better way.10.0 Wonderful

Cons:

Jul 2018
Cons:
They wouldn't allow me to inspect the vehicle before. They said it was too dark. I came back, and there was a tiny scuff evaluated by a non-Hertz employee. I have outside insurance purchased, but I bet it's going to be a hassle.10.0 Wonderful
Jul 2018
Pros:
Well staffed and easy to find. Car return was quick.Cons:
Parking can be hard to find in the area. Once they come out and check the car they give you directions to park it in the lot, but trying to find parking on the street when you arrive is hard.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:

The Lyon drop-off address we were provided was wrong. Not slightly, completely. Entirely different block, in a garage with little-to-no signage, requiring an access code that we didn't learn about until we were able to get through on the phone, which also took some trying. Put us about an hour behind schedule.10.0 Wonderful

Jun 2019
Pros:
Drop off is so easy. Pick up takes somewhat longer than expected, perhaps due to my booking was not doen directly with Hertz/thrift. They asked me to write down typical info such as address, cell number and email which was given when booking was made.4.4 Mediocre
May 2019
Cons:
The drop-off was a nightmare. They insisted I had to bring back the car before 5.30 pm because I hadn’t bought extra insurance. But then the office was closed, and I had to come back the next morning... On top of it they got really rude when I complained8.0 Very Good

I had an approved confirmation for my reservation. When I got to the airport, I was told by the Budget staff that my account is blocked (This did not know why) and therefore, they can't rent the car per the reservation. I had to rent a car in other company which cost me double the price. Really Bad.Alamo

Jan 2017
Pros:
Generally liked the car (Renault Espace), but it is an experience. No visible dials, buttons, etc on the dash board. Definitely requires someone to show you how things work before driving away, but there was no one available to help.Cons:
Arrived in Nice and they did not have the car I requested (Citroen C4 or similar). Said only car I could have was a van, in a different price category and that I would have to pay the difference in rates. Attendant said she was new and didn't have the ability to waive the extra cost. To me this is unacceptable and I would like to request a refund of the extra charges. At that moment, you are a prisoner, tired after the journey to get there, and with less will to fight. Drop off in Paris very difficult as drop offs, as I learned trough experience, are only in parking garages with no indication that Europcar have operations in them. Drove around for hours before finding Montparnasse.10.0 Wonderful

Jan 2020
Pros:
The staff was terrible. After being intentionally left behind by the shuttle driver, I could not reach the other staff because they simply would not answer the phone for 15 minutes. When they did answer, I was told they had no car for me even though I had an emailed confirmation of my reservation.Cons:
Everything went wrong. The reservation was initially sent to me as being France when I had entered Florida as my destination. After I told the customer service agent to cancel France and reserve Orlando, Florida, I still received confirmation of a France rental that I did not want. When I arrived in Florida and showed my Ace Rental Florida confirmation to the shuttle driver, I was left out in the cold, dark night because he said he would not let me board the shuttle since I was not on his hand written list. He told me to call the office then drive away. Nobody would answer the phone for 15 minutes. When I finally got through they told me they had overbooked and there were no cars. They offered no assistance. I was stranded in the airport late at night and left to fend for myself.5.2 Fair
Jul 2019
Cons:
1. Pick-up process took 1.5 hour 2. Small car that didn't fit for 3 people and 3 bags 3. Gearbox failure even though the car had less than 1000 km millage 4. Double payment for the car (first via web-site to ACE, second at check-in to Rhodium). Luckily after several complains Rhodium paid me back.4.0 Mediocre
Jul 2019
Cons:
It was not Ace. Some company goldcar rental. Horrible customer service, waited hour and a half for our turn. If you pay € 50 they can put you ahead of line. Then they threatened us for buying an additional insurance. They gave us a stick shift. Although I booked an automatic.2.0 Poor
