All-inclusive car rental in Nice
An all-inclusive rental in Nice includes full insurance with zero excess - the perfect way to drive the French Riviera, from Monaco to Cannes and the hilltop villages of Provence.

Driving the French Riviera
The Grande, Moyenne and Basse Corniche roads each hug the coast to Monaco at a different altitude - the Moyenne Corniche offers the classic film-star views. Westward lie Antibes and Cannes; inland, the perfume town of Grasse and Provence beckon.
Coastal traffic is heavy in summer and parking is tight in the towns, so zero-excess cover is genuinely reassuring here.
Practical tips
Nice’s seafront and old town are best on foot - park in a car park and use the car for the coast and hinterland. France requires a reflective vest and warning triangle in the car by law.
The all-inclusive price already includes full insurance, unlimited mileage and airport fees.
