Your questions
Frequently asked questions, Nice ↔ Cannes transfer.
How long does the journey take?
Plan for 30 to 40 minutes via the A8 motorway in normal conditions, up to 1 hour at rush hour or during Festival periods. We adjust pickup times accordingly.
How much does a private transfer from Nice Airport to Cannes cost?
The fixed fare starts at €80 in a Tesla Model Y (up to 4 passengers), €95 in a Mercedes E-Class, €100 in a 7-seat van and €120 in a Mercedes V-Class. The price is the same day and night, weekends and public holidays included, with no surcharge. The return Cannes → Nice Airport is at the same price.
Private driver, taxi, train or bus: what is the best way from Nice Airport to Cannes?
A private driver (VTC) is the fastest and most comfortable option: about 30 minutes door-to-door via the A8, a fixed fare known in advance, a meet-and-greet in the arrivals hall and luggage assistance. The train (via Nice-Ville) and the bus take 1 to 1.5 hours with connections and do not serve your hotel. A regular taxi runs on the meter, with no guaranteed price.
Should I book in advance or can I order a driver at the last minute?
Booking in advance guarantees a dedicated chauffeur and a name-sign welcome, even for a night flight. We also take last-minute requests subject to availability: call +33 7 63 97 25 48, line open from 7am to 9pm.
Where does the chauffeur wait for me at the airport?
Your chauffeur greets you in the arrivals hall (T1 or T2 depending on your flight) with a sign showing your name, after baggage claim.
What if my flight is delayed?
We track your flight in real time. The chauffeur automatically adjusts, no extra charge. 60 minutes of waiting are included after actual landing.
Which terminal should I choose?
Nice Côte d'Azur airport has two terminals: T1 (international, easyJet, Air France short-haul) and T2 (Air France long-haul, British Airways, Lufthansa). The chauffeur comes to the terminal you specify when booking.
Can we stop on the way?
A short stop (10 min) is free. For a longer stop or detour, contact us when booking for a quote.
How do I pay?
Several payment options are available for your private chauffeur. On board: cash or credit card, directly with the driver. Online: credit card, PayPal, remote payment link or bank transfer.

Context
Cannes ↔ Nice, the reference route.
ith more than 14 million annual passengers, Nice Côte d'Azur (NCE) is France's second airport for international traffic after Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle. It serves over 120 direct destinations — London, New York, Dubai, Tokyo — and is the indisputable gateway to the French Riviera. Cannes, located 30 km west via the A8 « La Provençale » motorway, welcomes over 3 million visitors and 250,000 convention delegates at the Palais des Festivals each year.
The private chauffeur ride between the two cities remains the most efficient way to connect the airport to your hotel on the Croisette, your villa in La Californie or Super-Cannes, or your yacht at the Vieux-Port. Average duration is 30 minutes in normal conditions, against 1 to 1.5 hours via the airport shuttle (Line 210 Express) or train with connection at Nice-Saint-Augustin. During the Festival, MIPIM or Cannes Lions, our chauffeurs take alternate routes via the D6007 or D2085, where a generic taxi would sit stuck on the A8.
Cannes Driver operates this connection 24/7, 365 days a year, with a regularly renewed premium fleet: Tesla Model Y, Mercedes E-Class, S-Class and 7-seat V-Class. All our chauffeurs hold the VTC professional licence, are trained in international high-end hospitality and are bilingual French-English (Italian and Arabic on request). We track your flight live by its IATA number, systematically adjust pickup to your actual landing time and include 60 minutes of complimentary waiting after landing — without any surcharge.
