For passengers who don't require much space, a small, compact car is ideal for driving through the narrow streets of Marseille. But if you're planning on a road trip along the coast, a convertible vehicle may be a fun way to travel through the French Riviera as the weather is usually quite warm but temperatures aren't too high. If you're traveling with the whole family, a sedan is best as it offers enough space for everyone.

The speed limit in towns and urban areas is typically 50 kilometers per hour (31 miles per hour), but it may be lower in certain residential areas, in which case the speed limit signs will be posted. The speed limit in two to three-lane roads is 90 km/h (55 mph), and it’s 110 km/h (68 mph) on four-lane routes. Motorways have a speed limit of 130 km/h (80 mph). The limits are reduced in the wet weather.

French drivers are used to double or even triple-parking on the city's narrow streets, which means it's best to avoid street parking and instead leave your vehicle at one of the many public parking lots around Marseille. One of the best options is the underground garage near the Vieux Port (Old Port). Street parking is metered and usually time-limited, and parking is paid from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday to Saturday. Prices for both on-street parking and parking lots can range between €1.50 ($1.70) and €2.50 ($2.80) per hour.
