In Cannes, many outings are in the evening: dinners, receptions, inaugurations, and arrivals in front of the hotels on the Croisette. For these occasions, the Ferrari Roma Spider is the most elegant choice, with classic lines and a character suited to relaxed city driving. The Ferrari F8 Spider and F8 Tributo are sportier and perform best on the hilly roads behind the coast.
If you need a car for both day and night, we can pair your Ferrari with an SUV or van. This way, you can use the Ferrari when it makes sense and get around comfortably at all other times.
The Cannes Film Festival takes place every May around the Palais des Festivals. During those weeks, the city fills with guests, journalists, and industry professionals. Several roads near the Palais and on the Croisette are subject to closures, checks, and restrictions, and traffic slows for much of the day.
If you're coming to Cannes for the Festival, book the Ferrari well in advance and let us know your hotel and the times of your main engagements. For short trips to the Palais, with closed roads and limited parking, it's often best to walk or take a taxi. This leaves the Ferrari free for days out of town.
On the Croisette, surface parking spaces are limited and almost always occupied. The underground parking lots in the center are the most practical solution; with a low car, drive down the ramps slowly and diagonally. Almost all major hotels offer valet parking.
The Pierre Canto port is located at the eastern end of the Croisette and is a convenient stop if you're arriving by boat or have an appointment nearby. The historic Suquet district, on the hill above the old port, has narrow, steep streets: it's best explored on foot, leaving your car at the bottom.
Behind Cannes, the landscape changes in just a few minutes. The village of Mougins, with its restaurants, and the town of Grasse, known for its perfume tradition, can be reached via roads with curves and climbs fit for a Ferrari. Early in the morning, traffic is light, and you can drive with peace of mind.
In inland towns, parking is usually located at the entrance to the historic center. Leave your car there and continue on foot: the internal streets are narrow and often pedestrianized.
To the east, Antibes and Cap d'Antibes are close by and offer a coastal road with sweeping sea views. Continuing on, you'll reach Nice , a convenient half-day destination.
To the west, the Esterel coast offers red rocks, small bays, and a scenic road with many curves. It's one of the most beautiful routes in the area for discovery: set out in the morning to avoid traffic and stop at scenic spots along the way.
The Ferrari can be delivered to your hotel, Pierre Canto Port, a private address, or Nice Côte d'Azur Airport. It can be returned to a different location, even another country if you're continuing your journey to Italy or Spain. During the Festival, please indicate an easily accessible drop-off point, away from restricted areas.
From June to September, the city is mostly busy during the day on the beaches and in the evenings in the restaurants in the center and port. The heaviest traffic along the seafront is concentrated in the late afternoon, when everyone is returning from the beaches.
For a day at the beach, choose a beach club with valet parking and arrive in the morning. A Ferrari parked for hours in the sun can get very hot: whenever possible, look for a shaded spot or covered parking, and always lock your car, even for short stays.
Is it worth renting a Ferrari during the Cannes Film Festival? Yes, but traffic near the Palais is difficult. A practical solution is to rent the Ferrari outside the city and walk or take a taxi to the events.
Which Ferrari should you choose for an elegant evening? The Roma Spider is best suited for city evenings. For hilly roads, the F8 Spider and the F8 Tributo are ideal.
Can you deliver the car to Pierre Canto Port? Yes. Just let us know the time and exact location, and the Ferrari will be waiting for you there.
Where can I park on the Croisette? Street parking is limited. Use the underground parking lots downtown or your hotel's valet parking service.
Can I leave the Ferrari in Saint-Tropez or Monaco at the end of my stay? Yes, it can be picked up in a location other than Cannes. Please let us know when requesting a quote.
Are there other open-top sports cars in the fleet? Yes, for example the Lamborghini Huracán Evo Spyder and the Porsche 911 (992) 4S Cabriolet. You'll find them among the supercars and sports cars.
Is the booked model guaranteed? Yes, always: we deliver the exact car you choose. If your plans change, you can cancel free of charge up to 72 hours before delivery.
