KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Sainte-Maxime

  • Choosing car hire in Sainte-Maxime offers numerous advantages. Unlike relying on public transport which includes buses and ferries, operated by Varlib and Les Bateaux Verts, having a car provides flexibility and convenience to explore the city and its surrounding areas at your own pace. You can easily visit attractions like the beautiful Plage de la Nartelle or take a scenic drive along the stunning Corniche de l'Estérel. Opting for car hire in Sainte-Maxime grants you access to places like the charming hilltop village of Grimaud or the vibrant town of Saint-Tropez, which is easily accessible by car.
  • When arriving in Sainte-Maxime, you'll find car hire offices conveniently located at Toulon-Hyères Airport (TLN), around 42 miles (67 km) away. Major car hire companies such as Avis, Europcar, and Hertz operate from this airport. The car hire desks are located in the Arrivals area of the terminal building near the P3 Vehicle Rental Car Park. Once you have completed the necessary paperwork and obtained your car hire, you can proceed to the designated car hire parking area. The car park for car hire vehicles is situated just outside the terminal, within easy walking distance.
  • Driving a car hire in Sainte-Maxime offers a pleasant experience with well-maintained roads and scenic routes. The positive aspect of the road system here is the picturesque coastal drives that offer breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea. Be aware of the local traffic rules and regulations, including speed limits and right-of-way at roundabouts, which are very common. As a popular tourist destination, the streets can become crowded, especially in the city centre and near tourist attractions. Keep an eye out for pedestrians crossing the road and yield to them when necessary. Cyclists are also common, particularly along coastal routes and designated bike lanes.
  • During peak hours, particularly in summer, traffic congestion can occur on the main roads leading to and from Sainte-Maxime. Rush hour usually happens around 8:00 and 18:00. As a major coastal road, the D559 connects Sainte-Maxime to other popular destinations along the French Riviera, such as Saint-Tropez. It can experience heavy traffic, especially during the summer months. Some mountainous roads like the D25 road require extra caution, especially during winter, when snowfall can make driving conditions more difficult.
  • Book your rental car in Sainte-Maxime at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
