Motorhome & Campervan Hire in Nice-Gattières

Due to its Mediterranean climate, Nice is an ideal location to hire a campervan, offering pleasant temperatures throughout the year. The optimal weather occurs between May and October. To avoid the peak season and the crowds, we suggest considering May/June or September/October. During these times, you can enjoy almost summer-like temperatures in a more tranquil atmosphere. To witness the lavender fields in full bloom, plan your visit for June and July. If you happen to be in Nice in February, be sure not to miss the Nice Carnival, one of the world’s top four carnivals, featuring a lively parade and the renowned Battle of Flowers.

You’ll want to fill up the fresh water tank of your campervan or motorhome rental at the beginning of your trip. The best place to do this is at your campsite if they offer these services, or at certain petrol stations. You can also use a motorhome service for this. If you’re looking for an address, the closest service station can be found at Camping Le Parc des Maurettes, 730 Avenue du Dr Lefèbvre, 06270 Villeneuve Loubet. The service there costs €8.

Before you return your campervan rental, you will need to refill the tank with diesel and AdBlue at a petrol station. We recommend the following location:

• Total Petrol Station Access – 10-14 avenue de le Tourre, 06510 Gattières

Nice is a beautiful city, but like any major city, finding parking, especially for a large vehicle, can be challenging. One option is securing a paid parking spot in the city centre, but it’s crucial to pay attention to the maximum height restrictions, as many spaces are limited to 2 meters. A convenient car park is located at the Port Lympia car park (Quai Lunel, 06300 Nice), accommodating vehicles up to 2.1 meters.

Alternatively, street parking is available, subject to charges from Monday to Saturday, between 9:00 am and 8:00 pm, with a maximum limit of 2 hours on weekdays and 3 hours on Saturdays. To avoid the stress of navigating the city centre, consider parking at a park-and-ride facility outside Nice and using public transport to reach the city centre. Keep in mind that these facilities are free of charge but reserved for public transport users, so be prepared to show a ticket when exiting the car park.
