A small, compact car is ideal for driving around Nice. This is because of the city’s narrow and winding roads. Additionally, a smaller car is easier to park. Note that most hire cars will have a manual transmission; so, if you are not used to driving a stick, you specify that you would like to reserve an automatic for your convenience.
On expressways in Nice, the speed limit averages 55 – 68 mph. Nonetheless, because there is often fog and wet road conditions, you’ll have to adjust your speed based on weather conditions. A minimum speed of 37 mph, however, is required in order for you to drive on any highway in France.
Parking is limited in downtown Nice. If you are up to walking or taking a bus, you can park on the street in the oldest section of town for free. Otherwise, you can find metered parking along the streets of downtown or park in one of the lots for a fee.

Pros:
Staff friendly and helpfulCons:
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

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.3 locations in Nice

Some Nice car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend always be aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Nice.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a no-deductible option to your Nice car hire.
