Nice Airport Guide

Car Hire

At less than four miles from Nice and 17 miles from Cannes, France’s third-busiest airport offers easy access to top Côte d’Azur attractions. Local buses and faster airport express buses operate between the airport and Nice, taking up to 30 minutes, while trains run to the city from nearby Nice St Augustin Station. Yet the fastest way to access the city and surrounding locations is with car rental in Nice Côte d’Azur Airport, with Nice a 15-minute coastal drive to the east.

Who to Book With
Car hire suppliers at the airport include international firms such as Budget, Avis, and Europcar, and French firm Libertas. These suppliers have desks in both terminals, yet vehicles are collected from the Car Rental Centre at Terminal 2, which can be accessed on foot from Terminal 2 or by free shuttle bus from Terminal 1.

Need to Know Essentials
You will need to show the following documents at vehicle collection:

- Your driver’s licence (both parts)
- The credit card which was used to make the reservation
- A passport or utility bill to confirm your ID
- Confirmation of booking

For more info read our FAQ's.

Driving
Parking restrictions in France are rigorously enforced, so expect a hefty on-the-spot fine or towing if you park in a prohibited area. Blue zone parking requires the driver to purchase a blue disc from a shop, tourist office or police station and display it in the vehicle. Automatic petrol pumps which accept credit and debit cards are commonplace, but UK drivers should beware that UK-issued cards are not always accepted at such stations. It is compulsory to carry a warning triangle and a reflective jacket in your vehicle. UK motorists can now use the automatic tag lanes of toll roads by purchasing a telepeage tag.

See our guide to France for more information on driving here.

Transport

Passengers arriving at the airport can self-drive to the city for quick access.
