Marseille

Marseille is a city of contrasts: ancient Greek port ruins and fortified citadels stand alongside sleek contemporary museums, sun-dappled beaches give way to rugged cliffside paths, and Provençal tradition meets cosmopolitan flair on the shores of the Mediterranean. To fully explore every quartier—from the winding streets of Le Panier to the panoramic heights of Notre-Dame de la Garde—a rental car is indispensable.

Cardamar Car Rental offers seamless booking and fast pickup right at Marseille Provence Airport (MRS) and convenient downtown locations near the Vieux-Port. Our fleet ranges from nimble compacts perfect for navigating tight city streets to rugged SUVs ready for coastal drives along the Corniche or off-road adventures in the Calanques National Park. Every rental includes Collision Damage Waiver, Theft Protection, and third-party liability coverage of at least €10 million. Customize your journey with optional GPS navigation, child seats, additional drivers, and toll transponders for France’s autoroutes.

Essential Marseille Itineraries:
- Vieux-Port & Le Panier Loop: Begin at the bustling Old Port, meander through the colourful Le Panier district, then ascend to the Basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde for sweeping city and sea views.
- Corniche Scenic Drive: Cruise along the Corniche Kennedy and Corniche du Président John F. Kennedy, pausing at Vallon des Auffes—an intimate fishing harbour—for a seafood lunch by the water.
- Calanques Coastal Escape: Head east on the A50 towards Cassis, then follow the D559 to the calanques—hike between limestone inlets or relax at hidden coves like Sormiou and En-Vau.
- Provence & Camargue Adventure: Venture north on the A7 to Aix-en-Provence—stroll its grand avenues and markets—then continue south into the Camargue to spot wild horses and flamingos amid salt flats.
