Travel Tips for Enjoying Your Nice Apartment
Elite Rent-a-Car provides the latest models of cars to rent with a fleet from a city runaround Smart car, family favourite Renault Megane or extravagant high-end cars likes the Ferrari California. Regardless of budget, every client is a VIP client to Elite and they offer a very personal service where they will deliver the car to you, wherever you want it. At the airport or train station, there is no need to find a unfamiliar office in an unfamiliar location. Elite will meet you at the arrivals area with a card with your name on it and take you directly to the rental car. And they are not just in Nice; they can deliver a car to you anywhere on the continent, to suit you.
We also like that with Elite, you reserve a specific car/model, not a ‘category’. This means that the model of car you book is the car Elite will deliver. One of the Elite team is dedicated to each car delivery, they are there to help with luggage loading and GPS programming and more. Travelers can drive relaxed knowing they can contact Elite anytime for emergencies, itinerary changes, or just questions, with a team of bilingual personnel on call around the clock to cater to your needs. For clients who don't want to drive, there's even a private and professional chauffeur service.
