Car Hire Nice Airport (NCE)

At the time of rental the driver must present a valid national driver's license, which has been held for at least 12 months. Please note, Declarations of lost/stolen driving licences are not accepted, provisional, probationary, dematerialised, damaged or altered licences are NOT accepted.

For all Non-European Union renters whose driver's licenses are not issued in roman script, an International Driving Permit (IDP) or an official translation is mandatory. The IDP translates the national driver's licence into various languages and is not accepted without the national licence.

Foreigners that have been living in France for more than a year will need to present a national driver's license issued in France or any other European Union country, as well as a valid passport or European Union identity card.

Driver's licences issued by the People's Republic of China/ Japan/ Korea may be accepted provided you present an official Hertz Certification form. Hertz China/ Japan/ Korea will issue this form on Hertz notepaper and will incorporate the Hertz China/ Japan/ Korea Corporate seal. A scanned copy of the original licence will appear on the Certification form. The Certification form is valid until the expiry date of the Driver's Licence. Both the Certification and the original licence (with an International Driving Permit strongly recommended by Police authorities in Europe) MUST be produced at the time of rental.

If you hold a Driver's Licence issued in Vietnam, you need to present the original licence together with an authorised translation issued by the Vietnamese Ministry of Transport. If both documents are presented at time of rental these licences are acceptable worldwide.

For campers, a national driver's license held for more than 5 years must be presented.

Petrol / Diesel vehicles:

If you refill the fuel tank, please do so within 15km of where you return the vehicle, and keep your receipt as you will need to present it to our team.

If you do not take our Fuel Purchase Option (FPO) – see Fuel Policy for details - and do not return the vehicle with a full tank of fuel, we will fill the tank for you and charge you for the costs we incur and the service we provide in doing so. Our costs include purchasing, storing and managing our own fuel supplies, or refilling the tank off site, plus manpower and administration costs. Our service, of course, saves you from taking the time to find a local fuel station and refilling the vehicle yourself. The refuelling charge for your rental will be calculated as follows:

• 2.1 x weekly pump price taken from the EU Commission Energy website plus € 15.00 (including tax) service charge.

 We will show the actual cost of refuelling on your rental agreement when you pick up your vehicle.

Electric vehicles:

Hertz will record the vehicle battery charge at the start of the rental. Failure to return the vehicle in the same state of charge as at pick-up will result in a recharging fee per missing kWh.
