For passengers who don't require much space, a small, compact car is ideal for driving through the narrow streets of Marseille. But if you're planning on a road trip along the coast, a convertible vehicle may be a fun way to travel through the French Riviera as the weather is usually quite warm but temperatures aren't too high. If you're traveling with the whole family, a sedan is best as it offers enough space for everyone.
The speed limit in towns and urban areas is typically 50 kilometers per hour (31 miles per hour), but it may be lower in certain residential areas, in which case the speed limit signs will be posted. The speed limit in two to three-lane roads is 90 km/h (55 mph), and it’s 110 km/h (68 mph) on four-lane routes. Motorways have a speed limit of 130 km/h (80 mph). The limits are reduced in the wet weather.
French drivers are used to double or even triple-parking on the city's narrow streets, which means it's best to avoid street parking and instead leave your vehicle at one of the many public parking lots around Marseille. One of the best options is the underground garage near the Vieux Port (Old Port). Street parking is metered and usually time-limited, and parking is paid from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Saturday. Prices for both on-street parking and parking lots can range between €1.50 ($1.70) and €2.50 ($2.80) per hour.
On average a rental car in Marseille costs $55 per day. But prices differ between operators and you can save money through a price comparison of car rental deals from different agencies. The cheapest price for a car rental in Marseille found in the last 2 weeks is $30.
Yes, automatic cars are available in most car renting companies in Marseille. As cars with manual transmission are more common in many countries, you might have to pay an additional charge for renting an automatic car.

You also need a major credit card in your name and international insurance papers, which you should secure before your trip from your car insurance agency or a travel insurance agency.
Le Panier, the historic, largely untouched, part of Marseille is considered the city center. There are not a lot of car rental agencies right there, but there are some. The closest is Wizz Car Hire. Not much further to the east, you can find an Alamo and a CarGo. An 8min drive away from Le Panier, you can find many cheap car rentals in Marseille at the train station Gare Marseille St Charles. Companies represented here include Rent A Car, Europcar, and Avis. There are a number of Marseille car rentals just southeast of Le Panier, where several major roads meet right near the Patinoire Palais Omnisports Marseille Grand-Est.

Cons:
I got a flat tire on the highway 15 min after picking up the car and none of the hertz assistance numbers would allow me to speak with a human. It took friends of mine calling in their native language to light a fire to actually send help. Hertz is happy to charge me for that though.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
unfortunately our flight from Amsterdam to Nice was cancelled and we were directed to Nice, having felt concerned we wouldn't be able to pick a car up from Nice, we were apprehensive but were dealt with excellently from the receptionist to the handover guy, we were aware there would be insurance costs on top of the hire, so there were no surprises. The Twingo served us well as we travelled along the French Riviera. We would definitely return to enterprise for our next hire11 locations in Marseille
