Montpellier car hire

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 allows you to feel the Mediterranean breeze, especially in the early summer. If you’re traveling with family or friends, a mid-size sedan is a good fit.

The speed limit in urban areas is typically 50 km/h (31 mph), but it may be lower in certain residential areas, in which case speed limit signs will be posted. The speed limit in two to three-lane roads is 90 km/h (55 mph), and 110 km/h (68 mph) on four-lane routes. Motorways have a speed limit of 130 km/h (80 mph). The limits decrease in wet weather.
