Cannes is synonymous with international glamour, from the famous Film Festival to the Croisette with its high-fashion boutiques and yachts docked in the Old Port. Cruising along the seafront in a supercar is as much a part of the experience as the destination itself. Milan Luxury Cars delivers and collects your car directly in Cannes, at your hotel, or at the airport—wherever you prefer in Europe. You can also rent the same luxury car in Nice , just minutes away, or in Saint-Tropez to continue your journey along the French Riviera.
We'll drop you off at your hotel on the Croisette, at your villa on the city hills, or at the Vieux-Port, next to the Palais des Festivals, if you're arriving by boat. We just need the address and time.
The return can take place elsewhere, for example at the airport before your flight, in another coastal town, or in Italy. If you're looking for a Ferrari, read our tips on renting a Ferrari in Cannes.
Most scheduled flights land at Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, about 30-45 minutes from Cannes, depending on traffic. Your car can be waiting for you right at the terminal, so you can leave as soon as you've collected your luggage.
If you're traveling by private jet, you can land at Cannes-Mandelieu Airport, a business airport located about a quarter of an hour from the city center. We can also meet you there upon arrival.
La Croisette is Cannes's seafront promenade: on one side, the grand hotels and boutiques, on the other, private beaches with loungers and restaurants. It's easy to walk along, especially in the evening.
At the western end is the Palais des Festivals, with the steps that welcome the Festival's red carpet every May. During other months, you can climb the steps and take a photo, while on the sidewalk surrounding the Palais, you'll find the handprints of actors and directors.
Le Suquet is the oldest neighborhood in Cannes and occupies the hill behind the Vieux-Port. It's best explored on foot, as the streets ascend in steps and are not suitable for cars. A short climb takes you to the church and medieval tower, from which you can enjoy a sweeping view of the entire bay and its islands.
At the foot of the hill is the Forville covered market, where you can buy fruit, vegetables, fish, and flowers in the morning. Stop by before the heat hits, then have lunch at the neighborhood restaurants.
Off Cannes are the Lérins Islands, accessible by boats departing from the old port. The crossing is short, and there are no cars on the islands: leave your car in a parking lot downtown.
Sainte-Marguerite, the largest, is covered in pine trees and home to the Royal Fort, where the prisoner known as the Man in the Iron Mask was imprisoned in the late 17th century. Saint-Honorat is smaller and quieter: a community of monks lives there, cultivating vines and producing wine. Visiting one island alone takes half a day; visiting both will require a full day.
About a quarter of an hour from the coast, Mougins is a small hilltop village with houses arranged in a circle around the summit, art galleries, and many restaurants. Picasso spent the last years of his life here.
Continuing inland, in about half an hour you'll reach Grasse, the city of perfume. Some historic perfumeries open their workshops to visitors and offer short courses where you can create a personal fragrance to take home.
To the west, beyond Mandelieu-la-Napoule, the Esterel Massif begins. The coastal road known as the Corniche d'Or runs between red rocks and coves to Saint-Raphaël, with numerous panoramic views.
To the east, Antibes is about 20 minutes away and Nice about 40 minutes. The Principality of Monaco can be reached in about an hour on the highway, while Saint-Tropez is about an hour and a half away, more on summer days.
Every year in May, for about twelve days, the Festival fills the city with guests, press, and film professionals. The streets around the Palais are closed at times, making parking difficult. If you're coming during that period, please ask us for a quote well in advance.
For gala evenings, it's best to arrive on foot or by taxi, as parking around the Palais is difficult. In the height of summer, the beaches are very crowded, while in June and September, the sea is still warm and traffic is lighter.
How long does it take to get to Cannes from Nice Airport? About 30-45 minutes, depending on the schedule. If you prefer, the car can be waiting for you at the terminal.
I'm landing by private jet at Cannes-Mandelieu Airport. Can you deliver there? Yes, we can have the car waiting for you at that airport. Please let us know your estimated landing time when you request a quote.
Can I take my car to the Lérins Islands? No, the islands can only be reached by boat. You can leave your car in a parking lot near the old port and collect it upon your return.
Can I pick up my car at the port if I'm arriving by sea? Yes. Let us know the name of your boat and the mooring port, and we'll meet you at the dock at the agreed-upon time.
Which car is best for Cannes? For the Croisette and the hills, a discovery is pleasant; for a family with a lot of luggage, an SUV or van is more convenient.
Is there a risk of receiving a different car than the one you booked? No, the model is always guaranteed. If your plans change, you can cancel free of charge up to 72 hours before delivery.
