Where do I pick up my car in Nice?

Key points for car rental in the center of Nice are next to the main train station, by the Promenade des Anglais and near the port. However, if you're flying into Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, pick up your rental car within the terminal or on the surrounding roads.

What do the car rental company need from me?

Most obviously, you'll need to take your driver's license. In France, it isn't a legal requirement to take an International Driving Permit, but it's useful to have if you're driving to nearby destinations such as Italy. You also need to take your credit card with you for a security deposit that will be returned after your trip.

Explore Nice: A city of Mediterranean Majesty

The intoxicating combination of old-world architecture, year-round sun and fascinating historical attractions makes Nice endlessly appealing. It could take days to fully explore, so we've highlighted three of the most interesting places you can easily drive to on your trip here.

Vieux Nice

The old town of Nice is one of the most atmospheric corners of the city. The pastel-colored houses and cafés feel unchanged for centuries. Nice Cathedral is one of the sightseeing highlights here, but part of the appeal is just wandering around the charming streets and the Promenade des Anglais.

Jean-Médecin

The New Town area of Nice, usually known as Jean-Médecin, is filled with stylish shopping destinations, entertainment venues and popular hotels. The Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MAMAC) and the Musée Masséna will capture the attention of culture vultures who aren't as keen on shopping.

Cimiez

The sprawling region north of Vieux Nice is home to some of the finest attractions in the city. The celebrated Musée Matisse and Musée Chagall display the work and history of these two legendary painters. Ruined Roman baths and an amphitheater further add to the appeal of this historic district of Nice.
