Luxury car rental in Cannes

In Cannes, the arrival matters as much as the destination. Outside a palace hotel on the Croisette, at the foot of the Palais des Festivals steps or on a quay at Port Canto, the car is part of the scene. Rentabl brings together the luxury and sports cars available in Cannes, offered by local rental companies: you see the models, their power and their price, and your request is sent in a few clicks.

Luxury cars available in Cannes

The selection shown above features the vehicles based in Cannes. It includes:

• Lamborghini Huracán Evo (640 hp): the ultimate supercar, for an arrival no one will forget.

Choosing your car for your plans in Cannes

• Red carpet, gala evening, premiere: the Huracán Evo or the MC20 Cielo, for a photo stop outside the Palais or at the entrance of a palace hotel.
• Conferences and business meetings: the Maserati GranTurismo, discreet and comfortable, with four proper seats for your guests.
• Beach day and lunch by the water: the MC20 Cielo with the roof down, or the Mustang for a more relaxed style between Pointe Croisette and Palm Beach.
• A drive into the Esterel or the hinterland: a nimble sports car, as long as you are comfortable on narrow, winding roads.
• With family or friends: the GranTurismo and its four proper seats, or a Porsche Cayenne SUV from Nice.

Cannes and its major events

The Cannes calendar drives demand, and therefore the availability of prestige cars:

• March: MIPIM, the world's leading property trade show;
• May: the Cannes Film Festival, the busiest period of the year;
• June: Cannes Lions, the international festival of creativity in advertising;
• September: the Cannes Yachting Festival, between the Vieux-Port and Port Canto;
• October: MIPCOM, the international market for audiovisual content.

During these weeks, hotels are fully booked, part of the Croisette is reserved for accredited guests and access to the Palais is controlled. Book your car several weeks in advance, plan where to park it, and include the exact handover address in your request: the rental company can then anticipate traffic restrictions.

Where to pick up your car in Cannes

Depending on the vehicle and the rental company, the handover can take place:

• at your hotel, on the Croisette or in the town centre;
• at your villa or residence, on the heights of La Californie, in Super-Cannes or in Mougins;
• at Cannes train station, right in the town centre;
• at Nice Côte d'Azur airport, about 30 minutes away via the A8 motorway;
• near Cannes-Mandelieu airport, if you arrive by private jet.

The location, time and any delivery charge are confirmed before you commit.

Luxury car rental prices in Cannes

In Cannes, prices are shown in euros for a two-day rental. As a guide:

• around €800 for a Ford Mustang or a Chevrolet Camaro;
• around €1,200 for a Maserati GranTurismo;
• around €4,000 for a Lamborghini Huracán Evo or a Maserati MC20 Cielo.

Prices vary mainly with the season: from May to September, and especially during the Festival, demand pushes rates up and narrows the choice. Renting for several days usually lowers the daily cost. The exact price appears on each vehicle page as soon as you choose your dates.

Rental conditions

• Age and experience: most models are available from age 25 with two or three years of driving experience; for a supercar like the Huracán, solid driving experience is often required.
• Deposit: an amount is held on your bank card at handover. It depends on the model and is stated in the offer details.
• Insurance and assistance: included in the rental; the excess is shown in your booking summary.
• Mileage: a daily mileage allowance is included, with a stated rate for extra kilometres. Keep this in mind if you plan to visit Saint-Tropez or the Verdon Gorge.

Driving and parking in Cannes

• Le Suquet and the old town: narrow, steep lanes, not well suited to a supercar. Park further down and walk up.
• Parking: choose the underground car parks in the centre or the valet service of the large hotels rather than street parking, especially with a high-value vehicle.
• Traffic in high season: in July and August, the seafront is often gridlocked in the late afternoon. To reach Nice airport, the A8 is faster than the coast road.

Three drives from Cannes

The Corniche d'Or and the Esterel massif

Head towards Mandelieu, then Théoule-sur-Mer: the Corniche d'Or road runs for some thirty kilometres along red rocks plunging into a turquoise sea, all the way to Agay and Saint-Raphaël. It is one of the most beautiful coastal drives in France, best enjoyed with the roof down.

Mougins, Grasse and the Route Napoléon

In twenty minutes you are in Mougins, a hilltop village known for its Michelin-starred restaurants. Continue to Grasse, the world capital of perfume, then take the Route Napoléon towards Saint-Vallier-de-Thiey: a mountain road with wide bends, much loved by driving enthusiasts.

Cap d'Antibes and Juan-les-Pins

About twenty-five minutes away, the drive around Cap d'Antibes reveals villas tucked among the pines and secluded coves. Finish in Juan-les-Pins, whose pine grove hosts the Jazz à Juan festival every July.
