After you've checked out all of the well-known sights in Nice City Centre, there's more to see in the region. Collect the keys to a rental car, throw your bags in the trunk and hit the road. Here are some drives we know you'll enjoy:

• Make tracks to Aix-en-Provence for a fantastic sightseeing experience. Roughly 90 miles from Nice City Centre, it has tons of great sights, including Cours Mirabeau.
• Your next stop? It has to be Avignon, which is around 120 miles away. Palais des Papes is one local draw card you really shouldn't miss.
• Head to Mont Blanc to rediscover nature. Pack a picnic to enjoy or just relax in the fresh air. From Nice City Centre, it's approximately 150 miles away.

If you don't hold a driver's license issued in France, then you'll likely need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

• Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most places to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to what kinds of cars you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with your rental car.
