Nice Airport NCE - get your Rental Car at the airport

The car hire company pick-up point is located at Nice NCE Airport in both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 for most car hire companies. In this way, you will recognize the pick-up station of your chosen car rental company immediately after crossing the barrier behind the luggage belts. If you pick up the rental car here, which you could rent cheaply on the Internet via the price comparison, the key for your car will be handed over to you at the pick-up station and you will have to pay a deposit for the time of use. This is usually paid by credit card and will be refunded to you after return of the rental car.

The traffic rules in France and Monaco

The driving style of the French is less orderly than in northern Europe, for example. For this reason, you should rent a car at the pick-up station of Nice Airport and rent it for a reasonable price in advance via the online price comparison system, in which foreign countries drive with foresight. Moreover, there is no high volume of traffic on the well-developed motorways, expressways and country roads. Only in the towns along the Côte d' Azur can it be a bit crowded on the streets from time to time. Parking is allowed at the blue marked kerbstones with a parking disc or ticket. Pay attention to the respective signs. Wherever there is a yellow mark on the kerbstone, it is absolutely forbidden to stop. You should also pay attention to the permitted maximum speeds.

Car Hire Nice Airport - the speed limits

It is important to know that if you have your driving licence for less than two years, you are always allowed to drive 20 km/h less than the speed limit allows. In addition, the so-called "sleeping policemen" are laid out on many streets in France. These are highway surveys to encourage road users to drive slowly. Drive calmly and with foresight. The driver's alcohol consumption must not exceed the 0.5 per mil limit. In addition, France also has to carry an alcohol tester. When taking over the car at the pick-up station of the car rental company, make sure that your rental car is accompanied by such a test device. If you are travelling with children in a rental car, which you were able to rent in advance via the online price comparison, then you will need a baby seat for children up to the age of 4 years. Children up to 10 years of age need a booster seat. If you point this out during your booking on the Internet, you will be provided with the desired alternative when you pick up your rental car.
