There is no doubt that you will be better off with a small and compact vehicle. In fact, the smaller the better. You will not be able to park on the streets often, but even with standard driving the roads cannot handle large cars. Pick something that’s light on fuel and small but still sturdy enough to embark on a highway jaunt to the coast if the occasion arises.

When driving a hired car in Arles, stick to the speed limit; cameras and police traps can ruin a holiday. In built-up areas, you will drive at a slow 50 km/h (31 mph). Larger roads outside of the city centre allow for a faster 80 km/h (50 mph). When on dual carriageways, you can push it to 110 km/h (70 mph), and on the motorways, you will be allowed to drive as fast as 130 km/h (80 mph).
