I chose Europe car rental through Rental Cars.com iPhone app and I was able to get my car fairly…read morequickly from a friendly agent. Europecar had competitive rates and many of the agencies do try to tack on extraneous fees. Of course you have to be vigilant and ask questions, which is tough when you've just been on an international flight. I also needed a GPS for navigation which was an additional cost of 15 euros per day. I'd recommend buying one or if you have a phone with a local SIM card and enough data then of course you won't need a GPS unit. Our Fiat took us all the way to Meribel Mottarette for an Alpine half marathon running race and back. Be prepared to spend a ton on tolls though. In France there are toll many many toll gates where as in Italy you typically pick up a ticket at one end and pay when you get off the highway or at your final destination. Apparently in Switzerland you'll pay one fee and then no tolls for one year and you are allowed to travel within the country wherever you like. The convenience and flexibility of having a car is one of the many reasons we chose to rent one. If you have time on your side and can plan ahead it is much more economical to use public transit.

We recently rented a car from Europcar and were extremely disappointed with the experience. When we…read morereturned the vehicle at the Nice airport, it had a very small scuff--less than two inches--on the corner of the plastic bumper. Despite the minimal nature of the mark and our protests during check in, Europcar charged us a significant fee. Many other rental companies, such as National and Budget, allow for minor wear and tear, but Europcar chose not to. Because of this, we do not recommend Europcar and will not be giving them our business again.

This was my worst car rental experience ever. After waiting 40 minutes in line (I am a Hertz Gold),…read moreI was told they did not have a car in the category booked and tried to sell me a better car for $60 / day more. When I protested, they gave me keys to a car. The car was badly damaged and dirty. When I returned, they gave me another car after 20 minutes, which was also dirty and not the category I booked. But, it was after a long flight and I was bushed. So, I just drove off. When I dropped off the car, they had to audacity to now tell me I damaged the car. I certainly did not. From the reports I read here, this is a scam that Hertz perpetuates on it's customers to make a buck.

We did buy the ins. , we called numerous times for them to bring roadside assistance. 10 hours later still no help. When we called the last time and were upset they said help was delayed because of traffic (there was no traffic where we were) and said it wasn't their problem. When the tow truck arrived they told us they were only called 20 minutes before they arrived. My husband responded to a questionnaire sent by the company saying the service was terrible and we have heard nothing back. If I could give them a negative number I would. Being stuck in a foreign country is difficult .

Horrible scam. First I put a 500 euro deposit, and when returned the bike with these scratches they…read moresaid that the repair will cost 400 euro. A new bike costs 1200 euro. At first, they said this can be repaired, then that it needs to be replaced, then repaired again.. I said that I want the old parts if they are going to replace them and they started yelling that I'm insane. An awful experience. After a lot of complaining and arguing they lowered the repair costs to 350 euro, which is still a crazy amount for this kind of thing.

My dad made a reservation online, and because he normally uses Avis, we were able to head up to the upper floor to pick up the car without talking to anyone at the desk. We didn't know they had a "preferred" check in upstairs, so we waited in line. There were only 2 other people in line and we got to the front in a matter of minutes. We found our car. It was small for American standards, but perfect for the narrow roads of Provence and tiny parking stalls of Europe. When we left the parking lot, the guy checking us out was alone. There was a bit of a wait to get out because there was only that one guy doing the check out. Returning the car was really easy and the walk to the terminal is not too bad.

Every time have we identified as many as ten damages when getting the car. - Most other people we have seen at the counters have been arguing with the customer representatives. Apparently, everyone seems to become angry when using this company. - They draw money from card instead of reserving it as all other companies do. - They forcefully and unfairly push extended insurance. - Taxes are not quoted in price - thus your price will be as high as when using other companies. - At the last visit staff was incredibly rude.

Asked the first employee we saw that directed us to the correct baggage check, and of course we were supposed to go to the furthest part of the airport. Team members checked our boarding pass and ID. Self service baggage kiosk and off we went to the lounge, which was right after security. And then we realized that our gate was just in front of our Infinity Lounge. What a great start! Ambiance - Huge airport, minimum of two terminals. But clear instructions from Easy Jet airline and Google Maps. Service - Mostly self service. Price - Depends on where you go. We paid extra for assigned seats, baggage check, etc. Owner Comment - Thank you for an easy experience.

Stayed here a couple nights in a sea view room which has a perfect view of the Promenade des Anglais. Room was very comfortable with a large balcony. The hotel toiletries smell great and there is an in-room Nespresso machine with different pods. The hotel has an excellent breakfast buffet downstairs with plenty of options including pastries and charcuterie. As it was February, the pool was not available but understandable as it is winter. The gym is serviceable, but has limited equipment. The hotel location is away from the hubbub of Nice, which is great if you do not like street noise. But it does mean a drive or tram ride is needed to get to the main attractions in Nice. Still, I rate this as my favorite hotel stay in Nice because of its sea view.

This hotel offers breakfast buffet for 29 Euros. It is continental breakfast. They have fresh fruits, different kind of sliced meats, eggs, omelettes and cereals. I would say pastries are really good worth trying them. In the afternoon, they have a tea station by reception desk. They have different kinds of tea bags that you can make tea. There are restaurants in walking distance of this hotel. Also, there is a grocery store close by in case you want to purchase snacks.
