Car hire Gare de Nice-Ville

The main rail station of Gare de Nice Ville is located in the city of Nice, in the Provence-Alpes- Côte d'Azur, or more commonly, the French Riviera. Nice is the largest non-regional capital city in France, and its economy is largely comprised of tourism. Its Mediterranean climate and cuisine are tourist magnets.

The rail station is operated by the SNCF, the national railway of France. It also serves as a stop for local trains that connect Nice to the other French coastal towns. The high speed trains of the national TGV also serve train routes to Italy and other parts of Europe.

Ticketing for the TGV is only acquired through reservation. A new innovation is called the IdTGV, tickets that are a tad cheaper, but are only bought online. Local rail lines have automated ticketing booths in the rail station, but they only accept euro coins.

The cheapest public transport mode is the bus, which can be disadvantageous for the tourist and those on business trips because the routes and sign boards can be quite confusing and require some memorization, so the best option to travel around the city is through car hire at Nice Rail Station.

Cheap car hire at Nice Rail Station can be availed from Avis, Nova, Globel-Cars, Tiger, ADA, Easycar, and Logan Car Hire. A car hire gives you only a fraction of the usual travel time of the bus, while giving you the comfort and ease of movement in your own space, which means no jostling with other commuters.
