Getting from Nice Airport to the Riviera

Since 2019 tram line 2 has connected both terminals to central Nice, reaching Jean Médécin and the Port Lympia area in about 30 minutes; from there you transfer to your hotel. For the wider Riviera, from Monaco to Cannes and Antibes, a private transfer is the direct, door-to-door option.

Frequently asked questions

Where does my driver meet me at Nice Airport?

Your driver will be in the arrivals hall of your terminal — Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 — holding a sign with your name. You will receive the exact meeting point, along with your driver's photo, car details and WhatsApp number, the day before your transfer.

Are NCE to Monaco transfers available for large groups?

Yes. We offer minivan and minibus options for groups of up to 15. Pricing is per vehicle, not per person — making group transfers to Monaco particularly good value compared to individual taxis.

Do you offer transfers during the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix?

Yes, but we recommend booking well in advance. Demand during Grand Prix weekend and the Cannes Film Festival is extremely high. Secure your transfer the moment your flights are confirmed.
