The rental location moved from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2. After various inquiries, we found the rental point at T2, where many car rental companies are located. We took a number and waited, but noticed that people who were ahead of us had left, yet we were not called. The staff helped Western customers who arrived later before us. Finally, after about 40 minutes of waiting (despite many empty counters), we were served. Because we didn't read the details carefully, we booked a manual car instead of an automatic. The car rental desk told us that we had to pay extra for an automatic, so our original 50 euro per day rental increased by 33 euros (originally 80+ euros but discounted to 33 euros). After adding various fees (10 euros per day for an additional driver, 70 euros for crossing into Monaco, 20% tax, etc.), our total changed from 500+ euros to 1041 euros before the process was completed.
The car pickup area at the airport is spacious, with all rental company branches located there. It's very easy to find. I initially chose a petrol vehicle but upgraded to a larger MG hybrid by paying an additional 20 euros per day. The driving experience was excellent, and I drove all the way from Nice to Milan.
The queue was very long, almost an hour before it was my turn. The lady at the counter saw that I had purchased full insurance and offered me a choice of Mercedes or Volvo. I thought they were similar models, but they were actually upgrades, requiring an extra 950 USD. After explaining that I only needed an A3 or a similar model, the staff member seemed displeased and said there were no A3s available. Eventually, I was given a hybrid Toyota. During the pickup, I noticed damage all over the car but the pickup assistant was very nice and recorded the damages on the pickup form in French. Five days later, the car kept reporting faults, and the hotel front desk had to help me contact the car rental company in French to see if they could repair it. The response was that they don't fix cars and advised me to drive back to the airport to exchange it. Worried about potential breakdowns on the road, I had to refuel and exchange it for another Japanese car at the airport rental station so that the trip could continue. Returning the car went smoothly, and the inspection guy was very professional and much faster than the front desk.
Like: Efficient and polite staff; vehicle is new and in excellent condition Dislike: It would be much better for the contract printed in bilingual, i.e. French and English as we are unable to understand French. Confusion may offer due to communication problems.
