Visit the beautiful southern France city of Nice and you can be sure of having a break that is just as pleasant as its name. Nestled in the French Riviera, here you'll be able to see great landmarks and sunbathe on golden beaches.

However, if you really want to make the most of your time in Nice it is well worth hiring a car. Doing so will give you the freedom to explore the city and the surrounding areas at a pace that suits you, so you can really get underneath the skin of the places you see.

If you're thinking about hopping into a rental car when you arrive at Nice Airport, make sure you do so through Auto Europe. We are a leading car hire company dedicated to providing you with wonderful vehicles that enable you to see this great destination in fantastic detail.

Rent a car and explore stunning Nice

Rather than having to wait to be picked up, renting a car at Nice airport from us means you'll be able to depart as soon as your party is ready, so your holiday can begin straightaway.

The terminal is situated four miles to the south-east of Nice, so it should take you no more than 20 minutes to get from the airport to the city centre. As such, you should be able to reach your hotel quite quickly, although you could of course be more interested in exploring many of Nice's wonderful attractions.

There certainly are plenty to choose from – in part due to its location on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea – including the stunning St Nicholas Orthodox Cathedral and Place Massena public square. You may also want to take a stroll along the Promenade des Anglais, before settling down on the expansive golden beach.

However, if you're keen to see other parts of the French Riviera outside of Nice, hiring a car will enable you to do just that.

The picturesque harbour town of Cassis, Marseille – which is the oldest city in France – and the glamorous city of Cannes, famous for its world-class film festival, are just some of the places you'll be able to visit in your rental car.

Wherever you wish to go, hiring a car from us enables you to do what you please without being subject to the constraints of public transport.
