Renting a car in France has several pitfalls. One of them is the possibility of driving with a Russian or Ukrainian driver's license. Almost all companies can offer you cheap car rental in Menton without requiring an international license. But if you are stopped by the police for the slightest violation, it will be immediately found out that you had no right to be behind the wheel without an international driver's license. The fine is from 1000 EUR. Therefore, make sure to get a document before the trip, if you plan to look for options of cheap car rental in Mentone.
The second nuance is car rental in Mentone without a deposit. This option is possible, but you will have to provide an international driver's license and choose an economy class car. In other cases you will be charged a deposit.
And, finally, the third nuance - gasoline prices. The cost of fuel in France is much higher than in Russia and Ukraine.
Car rental points in Menton work at the airport of Nice and in the city center. There are offices of international companies (Europcar, SIXT, Citer, Fire Fly, Alamo, Elite) and small local firms. Prices for car rental in Menton start from 77 EUR per day. For this money you will be offered, for example, a Fiat 500 mini-auto. A car of "premium" category will cost from 185 EUR, Renault minibuses for a large company - from 225 EUR.
There are both paid (1.4 EUR per hour) and free parking lots in Menton. But it is very difficult to find a free place (especially in the center and on the coast). Therefore, it is best to choose a hotel with private parking. It is strictly forbidden to park on sidewalks (fine - 17 EUR).
