Côte d'Azur
Europcar is the major historic French hire company at Nice airport. Its strength lies in its densest agency network in France — ideal for travellers wanting to hire in Nice and return in another city (Paris, Marseille, Lyon, Cannes, Monaco…) without excessive fees. It is also one of the few hire companies to accept eco-cheques as partial payment.
Europcar's Nice fleet includes electric and hybrid vehicles — Renault Zoé, Peugeot e-208 and various hybrids for environmentally conscious travellers. The Europcar Privilege Club programme allows accumulating benefits and discounts. Like other major hire companies, Europcar is present at T1 counters and T2 Car Rental Center.
One-way rental entire France. Eco-cheques accepted. Electric and hybrid vehicles. Privilege Club programme. Unlimited mileage available. Additional driver. Child seats.
Highlights: One-way rental network unanimously cited as main advantage. Eco-cheque acceptance a unique advantage. Electric vehicles appreciated. Service rated professional. Rates competitive versus other major operators.
Areas for improvement: Some reviews report issues at return vehicle inspection (disputed pre-existing scratches). Counter waiting time can be long in high season. Counter insurance is costly.
Europcar is the logical choice for travellers wanting to return their car in another French city — the densest network for one-way Nice-Paris, Nice-Lyon or Nice-Marseille rentals.
