Abarth Rental in Monte Carlo

Car rental in Monte Carlo with Zeus Prestige means luxury, delivered to your hotel or residence in the quarter, or waiting for you at Nice, the nearest major airport (NCE). Hire a cabriolet, a supercar, a prestige car or a luxury SUV and take the Riviera on your own terms. Convertible car hire in Monte Carlo suits the coast road to Cap Ferrat, and sports car rental suits the hairpins behind the hills.

Monte Carlo is a quarter of the Principality of Monaco, established on 1 June 1866 and home to about 15,000 residents. Its name means Mount Charles. The Place du Casino anchors it, with the Hôtel de Paris on the west side and the Salle Garnier, designed by Charles Garnier, home to the Opéra de Monte-Carlo. The Café de Paris faces the square, and the Grimaldi Forum conference centre stands at the eastern end of the quarter.

Larvotto, Monaco's only public beach, lies along the same shore. Visitors arrive through Nice and drive east, since the principality has no runway, and the Monte-Carlo Masters tennis tournament, despite its name, plays out in neighbouring Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. The streets are tight and steep, which makes the car part of the arrival.

Luxury Car Rental in Monte Carlo: Three Drives Along the Riviera

Cap Ferrat

Roof down, drive west along the lower coast toward Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, a peninsula beside Beaulieu-sur-Mer and Villefranche-sur-Mer. Villa Ephrussi de Rothschild, built between 1905 and 1912 for Baroness Béatrice, stands on the narrow neck of land with nine themed gardens and the sea on every side. Sea breeze and the sweet smell of pine drift through an open car, and the views over the Villefranche bay unfold at an easy pace.

Col de Braus

Head inland to the Col de Braus in something fast. The pass reaches 1,002 metres and links Sospel with L'Escarène, with a railway tunnel buried beneath it and hairpin bends all the way up. Each switchback tightens your grip, your pulse races as the road falls away, and the engine roars off the rock before you pull in to let it cool at the summit.

Roquebrune-Cap-Martin and Menton

The slow run east belongs to a plush coupe or a spacious SUV. Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, between Monaco and Menton, is where Le Corbusier built his small cabanon and where the architect drowned in 1965, and its millennial olive tree is said to be the oldest in France. Menton follows, with a baroque basilica of Saint-Michel built in 1619 and a Jean Cocteau museum that opened in 2011. Quiet seats and a hint of leather keep the cabin calm while the Mediterranean glints beside the road.

Luxury Car Hire in Monte Carlo: Questions Answered

Is Monte Carlo the same as Monaco?

The Col de Braus rises to 1,002 metres between Sospel and L'Escarène.
