Some people prefer to spend their entire vacation here, while others see Nice only as a starting point for an exciting journey. In any case, you will need a car - a personal vehicle greatly simplifies the life of a holidaymaker. For those who don't have driver's license, it is not necessary to read further text.

For the rest, we will reveal the intricacies of car rental in Nice, go through the offices of the Cote d'Azur, look at the airport and others interesting places. You will find out where limousines and convertibles are rented. For thrifty travelers, we will suggest budget rental options. Go!

In this article, we decided not to focus on the features of the French box office in general - for this there is separate section. We are interested in the resort coast of Nice - calm, leisurely, respectable.

Local law enforcement agencies are sensitive to the slightest traffic violations And age restrictions for drivers. If your IDP contains gross violations

• , and the age does not reach the 25-year-old bar, don’t even hope to get a car. Please note the following points:
• In Nice, traffic is on the right; minimum driving experience
• - 1 year;
• Traffic rules do not differ from European standards;
• Before returning the car, wash it and fill the tank to capacity;
• speed limit within city limits is 50 km/h;

The A-8 motorway runs near the Côte d'Azur airport.

The more days you pay for, the cheaper the average daily rent is - this rule is valid for anywhere on the planet.

You should always start your search with aggregators. An example of such a site is http://www.rentalcars.com/. Convenient system The search covers about a dozen large distributors. If you set weekly rentals in the filters, and set Nice airport as the starting point, you’ll get something like this:

• Fiat 500 (manual transmission) - 44 euros/day;
• Lancia Y (5 seats) - 46 euros;
• diesel VW Polo - 48 euros;
• Peugeot 308 - 50 euros.

More expensive options include the Toyota Auris compact car (102 euros), the mid-range Renault Scenic (103 euros) or the Toyota RAV4 SUV (110 euros). Luxury cars, limousines and convertibles will have an even higher price tag, but read about this in subsequent sections of the article.

Now about renting without a franchise. In France there is the concept of “zero deductible”. The rental company may offer a similar type of insurance, but it will cover only the most unlikely cases (a meteorite fall, for example), but typical sorrows (a broken headlight) will not be taken into account. In this situation it is worth using help independent insurer(worldwideinsure.com) - the conditions there are more humane, and with long-term rentals you can feel the savings. It’s even better to choose budget cars with a franchise of 800-850 euros for 7-9 days.

Where to rent a suitable car - large and small rental cars, airport

The most convenient way is to rent a car directly at the airport. Most tourists keep it simple and choose the services of international car rental companies. It’s easier this way, but without “ pitfalls“You can’t do it - we wrote above about getting a franchise. The following companies have offices at Nice Airport:

• Avis;
• Budget;
• Europcar;
• Hertz;
• Sixt.

The rental rules in these offices are standardized, they are quite strict and uncompromising. At the same time, you receive high-quality service, 24-hour support, brand new cars and many return points throughout the country.

Medium and small companies are attractive because they are cheap, but you risk getting involved in a scandal or getting a “stale” car. Most likely, conditions that are inconvenient for you and hidden fees will be spelled out in the contract, which you should read before signing. And remember: for renting a vehicle at the airport, you will be charged an additional fee (usually 10-50 euros).

The most convenient way is to rent a car at the airport.

Euroka and AVIS - compare and choose

The largest distributors in Nice are, without a doubt, AVIS and Euroca. AVIS points are located both in the center of Nice and in the terminal building. By visiting the website http://www.avisrussia.ru/, you can use special form reservations. The requirements for the driver are standard, the deposit amount is blocked for plastic card. The company has offices in the city, airport and railway station. The three-day rental price starts at 115 euros.

Europcar is one of the car rental companies that offers “zero insurance”. Read the contract carefully - it is in open access on official portal Eurocar.

The airport tax in Nice is 18 euros - these costs will be included in the service agreement. Eurocar prices are standard for all European countries:

• Ford Fiesta (liter engine) - 45 euros/day;
• Skoda Fabia - 48;
• Toyota Corolla - 75;
• Hyundai Santa - 130;
• BMW X5 - 295.

Long-term booking allows you to save significantly. So, if you rent a Ford Fiesta for a month, then instead of 45 euros you pay 23. However, AVIS offers similar conditions, so there is no significant difference between carriers.

The largest rental companies in Nice are AVIS and Eurocar.

Let's take a ride in style - prices for luxury car rentals

If you have enough money and want something “special”, you can rent luxury car or convertible.

• In Nice, cabriolet rental is available through the aggregator www.orangesmile.com. The site allows you to rent a car at nine rental locations in Nice. Among them:
• Railway station;
• airport;
• Vence;
• Villeneuve Loube;
• Drap;

Center.

The number of convertibles and luxury cars in Nice is limited, so it is worth making early reservations. For convertibles, the franchise amount is quite high; this should be taken into account when contacting a rental company. Therefore, experienced travelers recommend purchasing additional insurance from a third-party resource. The slightest scratches and dents will seriously impact your wallet. Carefully inspect luxury cars before signing a contract.

Another good resource specializing in luxury foreign cars is www.luxury-rent-car.com. The cost of a budget Mini Cooper starts at 260 euros, and a Porsche Boxster S costs 620 euros. As for luxury supercars, the price range here ranges from 710-3700 euros.

Important point: when parking, raise the windows and roof. In Nice, convertibles of visiting tourists are often stolen.

What is the algorithm for finding an inexpensive car in Nice? Let's say you want to rent a Peugeot 306 for 9 days, paying 850 euros for full insurance with a deductible. To do this, you should use the popular service www.economycarrentals.com. The site deducts 10% of the cost of the car for early booking and issues a voucher that must be presented at the rental point. The price for a Peugeot varies between 35-50 euros. A thoughtful search is the key to saving money.

The best options for Peugeot are offered by Sixt. But this does not always happen - it all depends on the season and the current “completeness” of the vehicle fleet. To find out which rental companies have offices at Nice Airport, it is not necessary to “break through” them through aggregators. Go to the airport website, everything is written there.

Tip: be sure to create an account with Sixt. Each successful rental“pumps up” your level, and this leads to discounts in the long run. Track promotions, change domains, catch freebies.

Summarize. Nice is a fashionable resort, but if you spend a little free time, you can rent an economical vehicle. Look through the options, compare prices in aggregators. And read the contracts. Have a nice trip!
