Mercedes Benz CLE 300 Cabriolet AMG Premium — Nice

The CLE 300 Cabriolet in AMG Premium specification occupies a very particular space in the Mercedes Benz lineup — it is not a supercar, and it does not pretend to be. What it offers instead is a refined, open-air grand tourer built for the kind of driving that the Riviera does best: measured, scenic, deeply satisfying. Drop the soft top along the D25 peninsula loop around Cap-Ferrat and the car makes immediate sense. The ride is composed over uneven coastal tarmac, the cabin stays quiet enough for conversation at speed, and the AMG Premium trim adds a sharpness to the steering and suspension that keeps the car planted through tighter bends without punishing your lower back. It is a car designed for people who want to arrive somewhere looking and feeling exactly right — not breathless, not overheated, not searching for a parking space wide enough for a full-size GT. That last point matters more than most clients expect. In the narrow streets around Vieux-Nice and the underground garages near Place Masséna, the CLE's proportions are a genuine advantage. It fits where wider convertibles cannot. It parks where a Lamborghini would need a spotter. The 2025 model is available from €350 per day. Delivery can be arranged to Nice Côte d'Azur Airport at Terminal 1 or 2, or to specific hotel addresses along the Promenade des Anglais — the Negresco, the Hyatt Regency, the Anantara. For clients heading east toward Monaco or Èze, the Moyenne Corniche is the route this car was made for: sweeping elevation changes, long sightlines, and enough power to overtake confidently without drama. One variant is held in the fleet. It tends to book early between May and September, particularly around the Monaco Grand Prix and Cannes Film Festival periods when demand across convertible categories compresses sharply. Shoulder months — April and October — offer cooler air, lighter roads, and the same car at the same specification, which is worth considering if your schedule allows flexibility.
