What is included

The journey

The centre is the Promenade des Anglais along the sea, Place Masséna, and the Vieille Ville behind the seafront. The old town's lanes are pedestrian, so the driver stops at the nearest street the car can reach. Hotels on the Promenade are reached at the door.

Arriving at Nice Airport

Nice Côte d'Azur is on the seafront at the western end of the Promenade des Anglais, close to the city. It has two terminals, 1 and 2, linked by a free shuttle. Your driver waits in the arrivals hall of your terminal, after baggage reclaim, with your name on a sign.

How long it really takes

Maps says 27 minutes. That is the driving. Door to door from the moment you land is a different number, and it is the one worth planning around.

1
Taxi and disembark10–15 min
2
Passport controlNone inside Schengen. 15–45 min from outside it.
3
Baggage reclaim10–25 min with hold luggage

Realistically, 57 to 102 minutes after landing. If someone is waiting for you, that is the number to give them.

When to book

Booking early costs the same as booking late — the price does not move. What moves is whether there is a car left.

A week aheadJuly, August, Fridays and Saturdays. The busiest arrivals of the year.
As soon as you have the flightGroups of five or more. Vans and minibuses go first, always.
Two or three daysLanding between 23:00 and 06:00. Fewer drivers are working.
The day before is fineEverything else. The same morning usually works too.

Cancellation is free until 24 hours before, so booking early costs you nothing if the plan changes.

Before you land

Monaco is another countryMonaco is an independent state with an open border: there is no passport check on the road. The principality is small but steep, with tunnels and one-way streets, so give the hotel name.
Riviera traffic in summer and in MayThe A8 and the coast roads fill up in July and August, and in May during the Cannes Film Festival and the Monaco Grand Prix. The price is fixed, so traffic changes the time, not what you pay.
Motorway tolls are includedMost French autoroutes are toll roads. Any toll on your route is inside the fixed price, so there is nothing to pay on the day.
VTC or taxi licenceEvery driver holds a French VTC professional card or a taxi licence, both issued by the prefecture. We check the licence and the insurance before a company takes its first ride.

FAQ

How long does it take to get from Nice Airport to Nice city centre?

About 27 minutes for the 11 km, outside peak traffic. Your driver knows the route and follows the flight, so a delayed landing moves the pick-up rather than costing you the transfer.

How much is a transfer from Nice Airport to Nice city centre?

From €43 for up to four passengers, and €57 for a group of five or six in a van. The price is fixed when you book — tolls and taxes included, nothing added at the end.

What happens if my flight is late?

We track the flight number you give us. The driver waits and adjusts to the actual landing time, with 60 minutes of free waiting after the plane touches down.

Where do I meet the driver at Nice Airport?

In the arrivals hall after you clear customs. The day before your trip we send you the driver's name, phone number and vehicle, and they contact you with the exact spot.

Can I cancel?

Free up to 24 hours before pick-up, refunded in full and automatically. On many routes you can also book without paying and we only charge the card 48 hours before you travel.
