Hertz Car Rental at Nice Airport

The Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is located approximately 7km, or 4 miles from the city centre of Nice, France, and is recognised by its official code of NCE. The airport is the third largest in the country, in terms of passenger traffic, as it handles around ten million passengers per annum.

Arriving passengers can travel by bus or taxi from the airport, and several car hire companies offer their services as well. The company of Hertz Nice Airport is an excellent choice for all car rental requirements, as Hertz has over ninety years of experience in the industry.

The car rental counters are found on the arrival levels of Nice Airport, in both of the two terminal buildings, which are referred to as Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Terminal 1 has car rental offices at gates A1 and A2, just to the right of the information desk, and Terminal 2’s car rental offices are found between gates A2 and A3. Hertz is available from both terminals, and their vehicles are parked at the ‘Car Rental Centre’, found behind the parking area P5, and at Terminal 2. Should you be arriving at Terminal 1, the rented car area can be accessed by using the free shuttle bus which links the two terminal buildings and the car parking areas. From Terminal 2, a footpath is available to the car parking area. The rented cars of Hertz are collected and returned to the same area.
