Airport Transfers
Private airport transportation from Nice Airport (NCE) to Nice, Cannes, Monaco, Antibes and Menton, and to villas and hotels along the French Riviera, booked before you land.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Nice Côte d'Azur Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
Our airport transportation in Nice takes you from Nice Côte d'Azur Airport to hotels and apartments on the Promenade des Anglais and in the Old Town, west along the coast to Antibes, Juan-les-Pins and the Croisette in Cannes, and east to Villefranche-sur-Mer, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Èze, Monaco and Menton.
Nice airport transfers start in the arrivals hall of your terminal, Terminal 1 or Terminal 2, where your driver waits with a name sign; both terminals handle international flights, so check yours on your boarding pass. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time, and you choose the vehicle for your party, from a sedan for two to a van for a family or group with luggage.
Each Nice airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, apartment or villa in Nice, to the Croisette and the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, to Antibes and Juan-les-Pins, or along the coast east to Villefranche-sur-Mer, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Èze, Monte-Carlo in Monaco and Menton. Going on to Saint-Tropez? Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.
Our Nice airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, not a shared coach that stops at other hotels along the coast. It leaves as soon as you are through arrivals, with room for suitcases and golf bags, and suits families, groups staying in villas on the Riviera and anyone heading to a meeting or event in Cannes or Monaco.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE) is the airport for Nice and the French Riviera, on the seafront west of the city center. It has two terminals, Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, and both handle domestic, European and international flights, so check the terminal on your boarding pass. A free shuttle bus links them.
Flights from other Schengen countries arrive without passport checks. From outside the Schengen area, including the UK, the US and the Gulf, you pass border police before baggage claim, where EU, EEA and Swiss citizens with biometric passports can often use the PARAFE automated gates. After baggage claim you walk through customs into the arrivals hall of your terminal, where pre-booked drivers meet passengers.
France is on Central European Time (UTC+1) and switches to UTC+2 for daylight saving time from late March to late October. It uses the euro, and so does Monaco.
Schengen entry. France is in the Schengen area. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Check the visa rules for your nationality before you fly.
Terminal 1 or Terminal 2. Each terminal has its own arrivals hall, so give your flight number and arrival terminal when you book.
Monaco. There are no border checks between France and Monaco. During the Monaco Grand Prix, many streets in the principality close for the race circuit, so give your full address when you book.
Event dates in Cannes. Cannes hosts the Film Festival each May and other large events at the Palais des Festivals; on those dates the roads around Cannes are busy, so give your full address and keep your flight details up to date.
Old Town streets. Many streets in Nice's Old Town are pedestrian, so your driver stops at the nearest point a car can reach.

We monitor the arrival of the flight on your reservation, but can't find you on a different one. Tell customer service if any of these change:
About one checked suitcase and one carry-on each; the right vehicle depends on the total volume. Tell us about golf clubs, surfboards, bikes, strollers or extra bags.
Request them when booking, with the child's age and size. Availability and any fee are confirmed on your reservation.
Give the wheelchair's size, weight and whether it folds, so a suitable vehicle is assigned.
Ask for authorization before booking and tell us about the animal and its carrier.
Passport
Carry a valid passport, or a national ID card if you are an EU citizen, and check visa rules before you fly.
Entry/Exit System
Non-EU visitors give fingerprints and a facial photo at the border on their first entry, which can add time.
Currency
France uses the euro; Monaco uses it too. Cards and contactless payments are accepted almost everywhere.
Your terminal
Note whether you land at Terminal 1 or Terminal 2, because each has its own arrivals hall.
Unofficial drivers
Turn down ride offers inside the terminal and use only the official taxi rank or your booked transfer.
Local time
Nice is on Central European Time (UTC+1), and UTC+2 from late March to late October.

In the public arrivals hall of the terminal your flight uses, holding a sign with your name, after baggage claim and customs. Nice has two terminals, each with its own arrivals hall, so check Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 on your confirmation.
Nice Côte d'Azur Airport is on the seafront about 7 km (4 miles) west of Nice city center. Monaco is about 20 km (12 miles) northeast of the airport, and the drive from Nice airport to Cannes takes about 30 to 45 minutes, longer during the Film Festival and other major events.
Both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 handle domestic, European and international flights, so check your boarding pass. Emirates uses Terminal 2. Give your flight number when you book so your driver waits at the right terminal.

Yes, but not for airline flights.

Yes. We drive east along the coast to hotels, apartments and offices in Monte-Carlo and the rest of Monaco. There are no border checks between France and Monaco.

Yes. Tram line 2 stops at both terminals and runs into central Nice and to the port, and express buses run east to Monaco and Menton and west to Antibes and Cannes. A private transfer is easier with luggage, for villas away from the main road, or when you would rather go door to door.
We monitor the flight on your reservation, so your driver at Nice Airport waits for the actual landing. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or your flight is cancelled, tell customer service so the pickup can be moved.
