Renting a car in France carries a few pitfalls. One of them is the ability to drive on a Russian or Ukrainian driver's license. Almost all companies can offer you cheap car rental in Marseille without requiring an international license.
But as soon as you are stopped by police for the slightest infraction, they will immediately find out that you had no right to drive without an international driver's license. The fine is from 1000 EUR. So make sure you get the document before your trip if you plan to look for cheap car rental in Marseille.
The second nuance is renting a car in Marseille without a deposit. This option is possible, but you will have to provide an international driver's license and choose an economy car. In other cases, you will be charged a deposit.
The 24-hour car rental in Marseille operates right in the airport. There are offices of Europcar, SIXT, Citer, Fire Fly, Alamo, Elite and other popular companies in Europe. It's best to apply for a vehicle reservation in advance through one of the online services.
Prices for car rental in Marseille start from 122 EUR per day. For this price, you will be offered, for example, a small Chevrolet Spark. A luxury car will cost from 900 EUR and a Renault Traffic minibus for a large group from 600 EUR.
Most parking lots in the city are paid. The price for an hour in a guarded covered parking lot is 2.5 EUR in the center and about 1.7 EUR on the outskirts; for a day - 25-35 EUR and 15 EUR respectively.
Ordinary street parking lots are paid only on weekdays: 30 minutes - 0.5-1 EUR. You have to pay through a parking meter, which accepts coins only. In red zones you can park for no more than 2 hours, in yellow zones - no more than 4 hours.
