Côte d'Azur
Sixt is the premium car hire reference at Nice airport. Its fleet is the most recent and diverse — from compact city cars to luxury saloons through latest-generation SUVs and electric vehicles like the Tesla Model 3. For travellers wanting to explore the Côte d'Azur in a recent, reliable vehicle, Sixt is consistently top of recommendations.
Sixt is present in both terminals — dedicated counter at Terminal 1 arrivals (right of arrivals) and at the Terminal 2 Car Rental Center (opposite P5 car park). Collection and return takes place at T2 Car Rental Center for all customers. Outside opening hours, a key drop box enables 24/7 vehicle return.
Unlimited mileage on all offers. Sixt+ loyalty programme with regular discounts. Return at other Sixt agencies across France and Europe (variable fees). Additional driver available. Child seats optional. GPS available. Online check-in possible to avoid queues.
Highlights: Vehicle quality and recency unanimously praised. Tesla Model 3 availability cited as unique asset in Nice. Return process rated quick and simple. Sixt+ loyalty programme appreciated. Online check-in avoids queues.
Areas for improvement: Rates in the upper bracket compared to budget operators. Counter insurance add-on can be aggressive. Advance booking strongly recommended in high season.
Sixt is the obvious choice for those wanting to drive a beautiful recent vehicle on the Côte d'Azur — not the cheapest but the best quality-to-driving experience ratio.
