Discover Car Hire in Marseille

Marseille is the gateway to Provence and the capital of the Mediterranean region; situated south west of Nice, east of Toulouse and south east of Paris. Lying on the Mediterranean coast, this seaside city has over 111 different districts with numerous museums to explore.

Towering over the highest point of the city is Basilique Notre-Dame de la Garde. Take your Marseille car hire for a trip up to the Basilique and enjoy the panoramic views over the city and Mediterranean, or venture out to Nîmes where you can see a near perfect Roman temple.

Driving in Marseille is stress-free but there is plenty more information on driving in France and distances between major cities in the France Driving Tips page. DriveAway compares all the major suppliers, meaning you will find the best rate available!
