Arguably one of the most beautiful corners of the world, it should go without saying that exploring the French Riviera by car is a highly recommendable experience. Having your own transport in Cannes makes it possible to not only take in the sights along the Côte d'Azur, but also get off the beaten path and discover the countless adorable villages, some incredible national parks and the many other sights of the hinterland. If you've made the silly mistake of arriving without a car, don't worry, the folks at Auto Europe make getting the best deal on a set of wheels a breeze.

With over 60 years of experience, Auto Europe works with well-known suppliers and we love how all the available options are clearly presented in one easy-to-compare matrix of search results. Their site also includes useful extras like free cancellation up to 48 hours before pick-up, no hidden credit card fees and useful tips for road trips and local traffic rules. Is your journey taking you beyond Cannes? No worries there either, as despite the name, Auto Europe offers cars at some 20,000 locations in 180 countries around the globe, with websites in local languages.
