Driving in Nice: What to expect on the road

Documents you'll need
Bring your licence, passport and credit card.
To rent a car in Nice, you’ll need a valid driving licence and passport. Most UK visitors don’t need an International Driving Permit (IDP), unless their licence is paper-only or not in English. A credit card is required by most hire companies.
Navigating city driving
Busy roads and tight spaces near the coast.
Driving in Nice means narrow streets, coastal traffic, and some tricky one-way systems. Navigation apps help avoid no-entry signs and bus-only lanes, especially around the Promenade des Anglais.
Tolls, emissions zones and charges
Expect toll roads and a low-emission zone.
Toll roads in Nice are common if you leave the city. Nice also has a low-emission zone (ZFE) — check your hire car’s eligibility. Toll and zone payments are usually made online or via rental agreements.
Parking your car in Nice
Street parking is limited and controlled.
Parking in Nice is often metered and time-restricted, especially in the centre. Look for underground car parks or hotels with parking. Blue zones allow short stays with a disc.
Finding fuel or charging points
Fuel is easy to find — EV charging less so.
Petrol stations are common in and around Nice. EV charging stations are available but limited near the old town. Use apps like Chargemap or PlugShare to plan ahead.
Local driving style and tips
Roads around Nice can be busy and fast-moving.
Expect quick lane changes on main roads and occasional congestion near coastal areas. Follow signs closely, give way when required, and take extra care in narrow streets and smaller roundabouts.
