Car Hire in Vence Center

Vence is a charming medieval hillside village in Alpes-Maritimes, 10 km north of Cagnes-sur-Mer and 25 km west of Nice. The only car rental agency in the city center provides access to the inland and coast of the Côte d'Azur. Vence is known for the Matisse Chapel and the narrow medieval streets of the old town.

From here you reach Saint-Paul-de-Vence, one of France's most beautiful villages, in just 5 km to the south, and Gorges du Loup in 15 km to the west. Park outside the old town and explore Vence on foot – the streets are too narrow for cars. With a rental car you can easily combine coastal living in Antibes (20 km) with visits to mountain villages.

Avoid rush hour along D36 toward Nice, especially in July–August. How far is it from Vence to Nice Airport? Nice Côte d'Azur Airport is located 30 km to the south and takes approximately 35–45 minutes depending on traffic.

Can I drive up into the Alps from Vence? Yes, Col de Vence (1400 m) is reached in 15 km to the north and offers fantastic views and alpine landscapes. Is Vence suitable as a base for excursions along the Riviera?

Absolutely – Cannes (35 km), Antibes (20 km) and Monaco (45 km) are easily reached by rental car.
