Nice Côte d’Azur Airport (NCE) is one of the busiest airports in France and serves several international and domestic routes. This means that Nice Airport is often crowded, especially during peak seasons and during workday rush-hour periods, such as the early mornings and mid-late afternoons. To avoid the crowds when you pick up your car hire at Nice Côte d’Azur Airport, it is a good idea to arrange your collection in the mid-morning or early evening. This way you will avoid the rush-hour times for business travellers and will usually have a shorter wait time at rental counters.
Public transport options at Nice Airport are often very busy and passengers may have to queue for tickets. Private car hire at Nice Côte d’Azur Airport cuts back on wait times and allows you to get straight on the road as soon as you land. Driving, rather than relying on public transport, also shortens your journey time if you are travelling to Nice. While a bus or train ride to Nice takes approximately 20-25min, it is possible to arrive in Nice by car in under 10min, depending on traffic conditions. Perfect if you’re in a hurry when you arrive at the airport.
Nice Airport is well connected by road and is ideally situated for travelling by car. NCE is situated just off the main routes, such as the A8, which covers the whole of the French southern coast and connects with south-west destinations, such as Marseilles. From the A8, you can also join major routes, such as the A33 and the A51, which lead inland. Car hire at Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is perfect if you want to visit multiple destinations during your stay.
Nice Airport has great options for after-hours vehicle pick up and returns, so you can arrange your car hire to suit your travel plans. Many of their rental counters are open into the evening, with branches like Enterprise and Hertz closing after 22:00. However, if you are hiring with a branch that closes before or at 22:00, you can still pick up and return your car after-hours at the airport’s Car Rental Centre, which is located behind Terminal 2, across Car Park 5.

Which car hire services are fast and easy to use at Nice Airport?
If you’re in a rush to pick up your hire car, several available rental branches offer express services to save you as much time as possible.

Uncoordinated efforts between hertz and Kayak- lead me to not get the vehicle as advertised and promised and therefore had to overpay hugely to get the real value from my Nice trip. Doubt I will use a third party brokerage in the future and rent directly from Rental company as save myself hassle and money.

They were located in Nice, not Saint-Laurent-du-Var which was a big issue for me. I rented a specific sized vehicle because of size constraints of my destinations. I was forced to take a much larger car or no car at all. This left me and my party walking more than a kilometer back and forth to our home with luggage etc. every time we needed to go out. The people working at the Nice location were very helpful and professional, particularly the agent who handled my return of the vehicle.

The lady doing the check in and out was very polite and courteous and tried to help us. For some reason when I went to pick the car she told me her colleague had said that I had cancelled tje reservation which I hadn't and not received any email confirmation of this. Luckily she made a new one and the car was still available. Also on kayak it said booking for 5 people car but the priceless booking said 2 person so i had to clarify that. Car was good and the lady was helpful.

Alamo was horrific. Our plane was delayed due to storms. I had booked the car earlier than our anticipated landing. When I eventually reached Alamo, they said they only hold cars for 2 hours from the planned arrival time. They had let my car go and they had no others. Dispute it with your booking agent. We were left with no car after an exhausting flight. They clearly didn’t like the rental rate and were keen to not let us take the hire car. One we had already paid for. Really rude and unhelpful.

I very much enjoyed my experience with Alamo, the only annoying thing is that Alamo is located at Terminal 2 in Nice Airport and it is inconvenient to pick up the car after arriving at Terminal 1. Except for that, great staff and great service.
