For passengers who don't require much space, a small, compact car is ideal for driving through the narrow streets of Marseille. But if you're planning on a road trip along the coast, a convertible vehicle may be a fun way to travel through the French Riviera as the weather is usually quite warm but temperatures aren't too high. If you're traveling with the whole family, a sedan is best as it offers enough space for everyone.
The speed limit in towns and urban areas is typically 50 kilometers per hour (31 miles per hour), but it may be lower in certain residential areas, in which case the speed limit signs will be posted. The speed limit in two to three-lane roads is 90 km/h (55 mph), and it’s 110 km/h (68 mph) on four-lane routes. Motorways have a speed limit of 130 km/h (80 mph). The limits are reduced in the wet weather.
French drivers are used to double or even triple-parking on the city's narrow streets, which means it's best to avoid street parking and instead leave your vehicle at one of the many public parking lots around Marseille. One of the best options is the underground garage near the Vieux Port (Old Port). Street parking is metered and usually time-limited, and parking is paid from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Saturday. Prices for both on-street parking and parking lots can range between €1.50 ($1.70) and €2.50 ($2.80) per hour.
On average a car hire in Marseille costs £42 per day.
In the past 72 hours, the cheapest car hires were found at Budget (£19/day), Enterprise Rent-A-Car (£19/day) and keddy by Europcar (£21/day). In the last 72 hours the cheapest hire car price was found at Budget 31 Bd Voltaire 13001 (1 miles from the city centre).
The average price of fuel in Marseille is £6.11 per litre over the past 30 days. Filling up a tank of fuel costs between £73 and £98, depending on the car size.
Compact (Class Compact SUV or similar) is the most frequently booked car hire type in Marseille.
Car hire companies that offer shuttle or pick-up services from Marseille airport to off-airport locations include Alamo, Goldcar Rental SP, Budget, keddy by Europcar, Sixt, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Europcar, Hertz, Avis and FLIZZR.

Cheap car hire in Marseille calls for the need to meet some requirements. You cannot be under 21 years of age and must be in possession of a valid driving licence that's at least one year old. Some car rental companies may require drivers to 25 years old to rent certain types of vehicles, and those under 25 may also face additional fees. Additionally, you'll need to present a valid credit or debit card in your name with enough funds to cover the deposit. If there are other drivers, they will need to show their licences as well. If you're not a resident of France, you will also need to obtain an International Driving Permit (IDP) in addition to your driver's licence.
If you're travelling with children in Marseille, be sure to comply with French car seat regulations. Children under 10 must sit in a suitable child seat or booster, depending on their age and size. Children under 12 are not permitted to sit in the front seat. Keep children entertained with games, books, or a tablet on longer drives.

Cons:
I got a flat tire on the highway 15 min after picking up the car and none of the hertz assistance numbers would allow me to speak with a human. It took friends of mine calling in their native language to light a fire to actually send help. Hertz is happy to charge me for that though.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
unfortunately our flight from Amsterdam to Nice was cancelled and we were directed to Nice, having felt concerned we wouldn't be able to pick a car up from Nice, we were apprehensive but were dealt with excellently from the receptionist to the handover guy, we were aware there would be insurance costs on top of the hire, so there were no surprises. The Twingo served us well as we travelled along the French Riviera. We would definitely return to enterprise for our next hire11 locations in Marseille

Some Marseille car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Marseille.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your Marseille car hire.
