The Jeep Dallas Grandin is not a standard SUV. Built in France and shaped by the late 1980s, it combines a compact 4x4-inspired silhouette with an open roof and four seats. It is the ideal car for travellers who want their Riviera drive to feel genuinely different.
Made for scenic roads
The Dallas feels at home on the coastal roads around Saint-Raphael and the red Esterel massif. Drive the Corniche d'Or, stop above the coves around Agay and continue towards Theoule-sur-Mer, or plan a full day west towards Sainte-Maxime and the Gulf of Saint-Tropez.
White or yellow
Choose the clean, classic look of the white Dallas or the sunny personality of the yellow Dallas, subject to availability. Both are maintained with care and prepared before every handover.
Four seats and complete freedom
Unlike a two-seat buggy, the Dallas allows a couple, family or group of friends to share the same experience. There is no convoy and no compulsory route. You decide where to stop and how long to stay.
Rental conditions
Rental includes unlimited mileage, comprehensive insurance and roadside assistance. The driver must be 23 or older and must have held a category B licence for more than three years. A €1,200 card pre-authorisation is taken as the security deposit.
Mini Moke or Jeep Dallas
Which open-top car should you hire on the Riviera?
Two vintage convertibles, two ways to discover the coast. We rent both the Mini Moke and the Jeep Dallas, so we have no reason to push you towards one rather than the other — here is the honest comparison.
| Mini Moke | Jeep Dallas | |
|---|---|---|
| Character | The 1960s beach icon | The French mini-Jeep, styled after the Willys |
| Engine | Around 1,000 cc, some thirty horsepower | 1,360 cc, 75 to 85 hp |
| On the road | Perfect along the seafront, quickly out of breath uphill | Keeps up with traffic, climbs the Esterel and the Corniche d’Or with ease |
| On board | Four tight seats, very exposed | Four proper seats, roll bar, high driving position |
| Rarity | Modern reissues on the road | Fewer than 5,000 built between 1981 and 1998 |
| Best for | A beach day and photographs | A full day: Corniche d’Or, Saint-Tropez, the back country |
In short: if you stay along the seafront, the Mini Moke is more than enough — and it is irresistible in photographs. If you want to drive the Corniche d’Or to Theoule, climb towards the Pic de l’Ours and come back down to Saint-Tropez in the same day, take the Jeep Dallas: neither speed nor range will hold you back, and it is the one your rear passengers will not complain about.
