To score the best price on a Monte Carlo car hire, it's smart to book in advance. Rates tend to climb as your travel dates get closer, and leaving it too late could mean missing out.
Rent your wheels from Sixt, Europcar or Avis. They're some of the most well-known providers in the city.
The coverage Sixt or another supplier offers for your Monte Carlo car hire can vary, so be sure to go over the small print. While some include a collision damage waiver (CDW), others will provide it for an extra fee.
Consider booking a one-way rental. You might be able to score a good deal if the provider needs to move vehicles between sites. Discover the best available rates by clicking 'Return car to a different location.'
Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your ride with a full tank, so you're only paying for what you use. You won't get hit with overpriced refueling charges either.
Want to explore without worrying about how many miles you clock up? Search for rentals with 'Unlimited mileage' under the 'Policies' filter and travel as far as you like without the extra fees.

Good to know
Age requirements for rentals vary by company (and even car type), so know the rules before you book. Some companies in Monaco may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you fall outside the typical age range, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to unlock the right options.
Add a car seat to your Monte Carlo car hire booking if you're travelling with small kids. Guidelines vary from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their age, weight and size is always the safest way to travel.
You'll need to show some documents when you get to the rental desk. As a rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough funds to cover the excess (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and another form of photo ID. Your booking confirmation will spell it all out.

Make sure you follow the local speed limits. Usually that's around 45kph in urban areas and 125kph or so on highways, unless road signs indicate differently.
A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.05% applies in Monaco. The most reliable way to be safe to drive is to avoid drinking completely.
Around 8am is one of the busiest times for traffic around this destination. Try to avoid peak travel times generally for a more relaxed drive.
