Dropping car rental in Nice

I'm pretty sure that's where we picked up our car a couple of years ago. It was easy to find, and there was no particular problem about driving along the Promenade. I would do a viamichelin.com route in advance, so as to be prepared if there is a problem about turning left or anything else.

We did the same rental in April and dropped the car at the Nice Airport . The drop charge in my experience occurs because you are dropping at a different rental location. Make sure your tank is FULL or you'll get hosed for the refueling-I think they told me they waive the fee only if they have to add a liter or less!

Well, my husband and I hated driving in Nice. For us it is a confusing, congested city to drive in and finding the drop off was maddening. However this was a number of years ago and we did NOT have GPS. We ended up going down a one-way street to get to the place! Others may not have had this problem--maybe it was just us. My advice to you is to study the Google maps, especially the overhead satellite map, and also the street-view map, so that you won't have any surprises. Good luck!

We will have a gps. I was going to get a European maps card for mine, but my sister in England has a European gps and my mom is visiting and is going to bring it home and we will drop it off back with my sister when we visit her after leaving Nice. (I love when things work out like that ). They used it in France with no problems. I will def check beforehand online to make sure about turns.

If you drop your car off at the Nice Airport, be prepared for road construction. In May, we almost missed the turnoff at one roundabout because the only marker was a tiny "Deviation" sign (Deviation=detour in French). Give yourself more time than you imagined. Also, the car rental return is in Terminal 2. If your flight leaves from Terminal 1, give yourself at least 15 minutes extra to catch the shuttle bus to Terminal 1.
