Europcar Car Rental at Nice Airport

Nice Airport has the full name of Nice Côte d’Azur Airport, and the official code of NCE. The airport is located just 7km to the west of Nice city centre, and is one of the largest airports in France. It is served by a number of airline companies, including Air France, Easyjet, Emirates, Alitalia, Norwegian Air Shuttle and British Airways, and serves the city of Nice, Cannes, Monaco and Antibes. The transport options at the airport include by bus and taxi, and several car hire companies are available. The company of Europcar Nice Airport can be found within the terminal buildings, and offer competitive prices for all their customers. Europcar is an international company, found at thousands of airports across the globe.

The majority of the car hire companies at Nice Airport can be found on the arrival levels of the two terminal buildings, and are well signposted. Arriving passengers will easily be able to locate their company of choice. The rented cars are parked in an area behind the P5 parking lot, at Terminal 2, and passengers arriving in Terminal 1 may therefore need to take the free shuttle bus to Terminal 2. From here, a well marked footpath is available to the parking area. Hired cars will also be returned to the ‘Car Rental Centre’, if they are not organised as a Europcar one way hire. From Nice Airport, one way hires are most convenient for customers leaving France from another airport location, and are usually free of charge if delivered within the same country as they were collected.

The Nice airport car hire companies, including Europcar, are open from early in the morning to later in the evening, seven days a week, and offer a range of quality vehicles for hire. Customers who have a tighter budget could rent one of the smaller cars available, such as the Renault Twingo, Peugeot 207 and Volkswagen Polo in the Economy category, or even the Renault Megane in the Compact vehicle category. Smaller cars are also fuel efficient, and can accommodate four or five passengers. They have a nice range of features as well, such as air conditioning, air bags and power steering. Their only drawback is their luggage space, which is not very large. From Europcar, the primary renter and additional drivers will need to be only eighteen years of age or older in order to hire and drive the vehicle, and should also present a valid drivers license upon collection of the vehicle.

Larger vehicles available from Europcar include the Renault Laguna for five passengers and the Renault Grand Scenic for seven passengers. There are also Premium vehicles for hire, similar to the Mercedes Classe C, and these are ideal for business travellers in need of a more elegant vehicle. All rentals from Europcar include unlimited mileage, all licenses and fees associated with the vehicle or rental location, VAT and the mandatory airport surcharge. Car rental quotes could also be all-inclusive and cover the costs of certain types of insurance, such as collision damage waiver and theft protection. It is always recommended to arrange adequate insurance for your rented car. Customers should also make enquiries as to the fuel type used for the vehicle, as it could be petrol or diesel.

For disabled drivers, hand controls are available from the majority of Nice Airport car rental companies, and are a device that operates the brake and accelerator pedals of an automatic vehicle. Nice hand controls are free of charge, but should be reserved at least 48 hours prior to your arrival at the airport, as they will need to be fitted to the vehicle. Other services for disabled persons are also free of charge, for example, the primary renter of the vehicle can be a person unable to drive due to disability, with the assistance of a designated driver. In this case, the credit card of the disabled person will be used for payment of the rented car, while the driving license of the additional driver will be used for validation of the rental contract. This type of additional driver will incur no extra expense.

Europcar is known as the ‘World’s Leading Leisure Car Rental Company’, and is committed to providing the best service for their customers. They promise to provide only late model rental cars, which have an average age of only six months, and to quote only fully-inclusive rental rates, so there are no unpleasant surprises when its time to pay for the vehicle.  Twenty-four hour roadside assistance is available with every rental, and should a breakdown occur, Europcar will provide a replacement vehicle. When hiring a vehicle from Europcar, Nice Airport, always supply your flight details, as they will wait for you should your flight be delayed.

For customers who are fond of hiring their vehicles from Europcar, the Privilege Card is a great option to speed up rentals, reservations and vehicle collections. This card is available for both occasional and frequent renters, and members of the service enjoy priority counter service, pre-printed rental agreements and the guaranteed application of company rates and Charge Card options. There are also discounts available at some of the hotels in Europe for Privilege Card holders. All further details can be confirmed with Europcar, at Nice Airport.
