Marseille Airport is located 27 km from the city. It is the fifth in France in terms of size and the number of passengers it serves per year. The airport was built in 1922.

How to get to the center of Marseille?

One of the cheapest ways to get to the city center is by train. As you exit Terminal 1, you will see a station where you can take the free train to Vitrolles Aeroport Marseille Provence. There you will need to transfer to the train, which will take you to the center. It will cost you only 5.30 €. Tickets can be bought at any machine by paying with a transport card or coins. But there are some nuances here. This method is suitable for you only if you have free time. Trains and electric trains can run quite rarely during rush hour, so you need to find out their exact schedule in advance on the official website. But if you are lucky enough to get on the train, it will take you to the city in just 25 minutes.

You can choose the taxi option, but you should remember that such a trip will cost you a lot - from 88 € and more. Travel time is a little less than an hour (excluding time for possible downtime in traffic jams).

There is a bus stop at the airport. There are several buses with different directions, so read the information on the scoreboard carefully. If you take a bus to the center, the journey will take you a little over half an hour. Ticket price: 8.5 €. All buses are comfortable with a large luggage compartment. Buses depart every 20-30 minutes. Special buses between the city and the airport are available 24/7 and operate even on public holidays.

Another way to get to the center Marseille - by a rented car, which can be rented directly at the airport. The fastest way is via the A55. First you will need to drive on the A7 until you get to via A55. After 17 km you will be on Av. Saint-Jean, Rue Caisserie and Rue Bonneterie to Quai du Port. Travel time will take approximately 22 minutes.

You can choose a slightly different route and drive via A7 all the time. The road will take a little longer, but there is a chance to avoid traffic jams during rush hour.

How to find the car rental office at Marseille airport?

Car rental desks can be easily found if you follow the signs in English or French. Both terminals have "Car rental" signs, so you need to be guided by them. The cost of renting a car usually includes insurance. Parking your car in the city will be easy. The streets are full of open parking lots, which can be recognized by the blue and green marks on the pavement. The blue zones are for short-term parking, while the green zones are for long-term parking. Payment is made using a coupon, which can be bought at any tobacco shop. The coupon allows you to pay for parking at any parking meter. There are private underground and ground parking lots in the city, which are well guarded. Parking in such a place will cost a little more, but in such parking lots there is usually always a free space. When moving around Marseille by car, it is worth remembering that there are toll roads in the city. To avoid getting a fine, carefully read the signs on the side of the road.

Early Booking Discount

Marseille airport is now in ever-increasing demand, which affects the high demand for car rental. By booking online, you can avoid any unpleasant surprises after you arrive at your destination. Both with the car itself and with its rent.

It is better to book a car at least one and a half months before the trip. As the required date approaches, the number of available offers is reduced, and the cost of the remaining models increases. If plans change and the trip is postponed, then you can cancel the rental without any sanctions 2 days before it starts.

Which car to choose

Tourists who expect to drive only around the city and its immediate surroundings prefer to rent compact cars, Ford Ka or Opel Corsa. For trips to the mountains, you need a car with increased power. You should go on such a trip with a full tank, as fuel consumption in the mountains increases one and a half to two times. An all-wheel drive crossover would be the ideal car for this. Renting Opel Insignia Estate in Marseille airport will cost €43 per day.

What you need to pay attention to when receiving a car

Before picking up, you are required to carefully inspect the car and point out to the rental company manager for scratches, damage and defects, such as dirty seat upholstery. You should check the ignition and the fuel level in the tank. You need to know the conditions for returning the car - where exactly, with what amount of fuel to return the car.

The rental agreement must include a telephone number to contact the rental company. It is designed so that customers can get help in emergency situations, such as when a car breaks down or in the event of an accident. A call to the rental company should be done first, even before the arrival of the police.

Insurance advice

When you pick up your rental car, you need to take it seriously. This is especially true if you do not intend to purchase additional insurance. You should carefully inspect the received car and fix all scratches, dents, and other defects in the contract. It is also recommended to take a picture of the existing damage to the car, its number, write down the name of the rental company employee.

What types of insurance are available for car rental?

  • Third Party Liability (TPL). This is a third party liability protection. If you are the culprit of an accident, the insurance will compensate for the costs of the victims for you.
  • Collision Damage Waiver (CDW). This is to protect your vehicle from any damage. She works with a franchise. This is the amount that you will have to pay in case of damage in any case. The company will cover anything over the limit. The insurance does not cover theft.
  • Theft Waiver (T.W.). This is car theft protection. Operates with a franchise.
  • Personal Accident Insurance (PAI). This is medical insurance for the driver and passengers.
Check out the fuel policy

When renting a car, you should pay attention to the fuel policy of rental companies. Often, when renting, tourists have to pay the cost of a full tank of fuel. This option is suitable for long-term rentals and long trips. But if you're only renting Marseille airport for a day or two, or if you're only planning short trips, such as to a small island, then you probably won't need a full tank. You can get acquainted with the fuel policy in the "Important information" section of the car you have chosen.

Unlimited mileage

The rental company may set a daily mileage limit. You will have to pay extra for exceeding the limit. Please check this condition before booking. It is possible that a more expensive rental option will turn out to be more profitable in the end: it will not require any additional expenses. To filter cars with unlimited mileage - use the "Mileage" filter in the search results.

Getting a car at a rental office

You should show a voucher and personal documents. A manager draws up a lease agreement. The deposit is blocked on the card.

Before leaving the rental, turn on the ignition, find out the amount of fuel and compare it with what is written in the contract.

Inspect the car carefully. Point out to the manager any paint chips and scuffs. The employee must record the damage. Take a photo yourself: they should show the defect, the number of the car and the employee of the rental company. This will help to avoid problems when returning the car: it will prove that it was not you who torn the upholstery or scratched the fender.
