Compare several motorhome rental providers in Marseille in seconds with Camper Champ. Campervanning is growing in popularity across France and southern Europe. Apart from Marseille, popular pickup locations in France include Nice, Lyon and Paris.
One-way rentals are popular for exploring the French Riviera or travelling through Spain and Italy.
Three motorways meet here – A7 north to Lyon, A55 west towards the Camargue and Spain, and A50 east to Toulon and the Riviera. The A507/L2 inner bypass allows you to avoid the city centre.
Marseille's ZFE-m clean-air zone covers the area inside the A55–A50–A507 loop. A Crit'Air emission sticker is required for all vehicles. From 2025, Crit'Air 3 engines will not be allowed on weekdays.
Campervans under 3 metres high and up to 3.5 tonnes are classified as motorway toll Class 2. The Prado–Carénage tunnel charges a separate flat fee.
Traffic congestion occurs on the A507 and the coastal Corniche between 07:00-09:00 and 16:00-19:00. Plan fuel or meal stops outside these times.
Wild camping is prohibited on the coast and in the Calanques National Park. Use official campsites or Aires de Camping-Car instead.
ParcAzur Park-and-Ride sites cost approximately €5 per day and include return public transport tickets for metro, tram or bus. This is useful for visiting the Vieux Port without driving a campervan into the city centre.

| Camping Les Cigales, Cassis | Coastal campsite | about 30 km east; bus + train 45-60 min |

Yes, a large number of RV rental companies allow for one-way rentals and also between countries in Europe.
A one-way road trip is often more convenient and can allow you to explore more of the country. For example, a popular one-way holiday route in France is Paris to Rome via Provence and the French Riviera (Côte d’Azur) – travelling through Southern France along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea through Saint-Tropez, Cannes and Monaco.
One-way rentals may not be available between all routes, and additional fees apply, depending on the pickup and drop-off locations. Our comparison tool will automatically factor in any additional fees and show you which vehicles are available on your preferred route.
You need a valid standard Class B Driving Licence to rent a motorhome weighing up to 3.5 tonnes in France. Anyone from a non-European country with a non-Latin alphabet must bring an official French translation of their licence.
If you rent a Luxury Class motorhome that weighs over 3.5 tonnes, you’ll need to obtain an additional Class C1 ‘heavy vehicles’ licence.
The minimum age for renting a campervan in France is 21 years old, although many companies require you to be at least 23 to rent from them. Most campervan rentals also prefer drivers to have three years of experience before getting behind the wheel of a motorhome.
