Côte d'Azur
Hertz is the historic car hire reference in Nice and across the Côte d'Azur. Its presence at the Terminal 2 Car Rental Center and decades of experience at Nice airport make it a reliability reference. For frequent travellers and business guests, the Hertz Gold Plus Rewards programme allows collecting the vehicle directly at the car park without stopping at the counter, a significant time saving at peak hours.
Hertz is one of the few major hire companies to accept debit cards (Visa Electron, Mastercard Debit) provided they have a sufficient credit line, a decisive advantage over Goldcar or Sixt which require a standard credit card. In case of flight delay, Hertz commits to maintaining the reservation until key collection.
