Driving Tips for Marseille

Feel confident on the road with these local driving tips:

  • Roundabouts: You’ll likely encounter a few roundabouts, or rotaries, while driving in Marseilles, but they’re easy to navigate. Give cars already in the roundabout priority, and use your blinker before reaching your exit.
  • Compact Cars: As the second-largest city in France, there’s no denying Marseille can get busy. However, renting a smaller vehicle makes navigating narrow streets easier. Also, some streets in Le Panier can only fit compact cars.
  • Speed Limits: In the city, the speed limit is usually 50 km/h (31 mph). However, if you take the A8 tollway between Marseille and Nice, the speed limit increases to 130 km/h (80 mph).
  • Park-and-ride: While there are plenty of parking garages in Marseille, leaving your car in a park-and-ride lot and taking public transportation to the city is an affordable option. Consider parking at Q-Park Timone or Q-Park Vallier.

Best places to visit in and around Marseille

Make the most of your car rental in Marseille and get off the beaten path or take a road trip to the most beautiful small villages in France.

  • Cassis: Only a 30-minute drive from Marseille in your rental car, this fishing village is home to colorful houses and brings a slower pace of life. Find parking at Cassis Parking Mimosas and head to the beaches or hike through Calanque National Park.
  • Abbaye Saint-Victor: Discover Marseille’s religious history at Abbaye Saint-Victor. Dating back to the 5th century, the abbey offers crypts with relics, a basilica, and views of the city. Arrive early to find metered parking at 3 Place Saint-Victor.
  • Cosquer Méditerranée: Although the original underwater Cosquer Cave is inaccessible, this replica allows visitors to experience the prehistoric paintings, handprints, and rock formations in a safe setting. Find parking at Parking Indigo Marseille Vieux Port Mucem.
