When opting for car hire in Megeve, considering the mountainous terrain and weather conditions, a four-wheel drive (4WD) vehicle is often recommended. These types of vehicles offer better traction and handling on steep, winding roads and during snowy or icy conditions, which are common during winter months in this Alpine town. On the other hand, if you're visiting in the summer and plan to stick to the main roads, a standard car or even a compact car could be perfectly suitable, offering better fuel efficiency and easier parking in the town centre.

In Megeve, the speed limit is generally set at 50 km/h (around 31 mph). For roads outside urban areas, the usual speed limit is 80 km/h (approximately 50 mph). On motorways, the speed limit commonly increases to 110 km/h (about 68 mph ). However, on motorways, driving up to 130 km/h (approximately 81 mph) is allowed.

Parking in Megeve is generally well-organised, with a variety of options available in the town centre and near major attractions.
