Between Nice Côte d’Azur Airport and Cannes, official taxis apply an all-inclusive flat fare, not the meter. Booked with us by phone, online or in the app, the price from the airport to Cannes or Cannes La Bocca is €88 for the whole taxi. The fare does not depend on the time of day, the traffic, the day of the week or the number of bags. It stays the same for 1 or 8 passengers: a family of 4 pays €22 each, a group of 8 pays €11 each.
Why €88 and not €85? The €85 fare applies when you take a taxi at a stand in Cannes, where the car is already waiting. When you book, the extra €3 covers the drive of your taxi from where it is to your pick-up point, here the airport. On the way back, take a taxi at a Cannes stand or hail one in the street and you pay €85.
Online, you will find many other prices for the same trip. They usually come from private hire companies and transfer platforms, whose prices are set by each company and can change with demand. The €85 and €88 fares are those of the official taxis of Cannes, displayed inside every car.
Only a change to the journey itself: an extra stop on the way, an extra drop-off (Terminal 1 then Terminal 2 on the way back, for example) or waiting time at your hotel if you are not ready at the booked time. These extras are charged at the regulated rates set by the Prefect (hourly waiting rate, per-kilometre rate by day or by night). A late flight is never one of them.
Several options take you from Nice Côte d’Azur Airport to Cannes on the French Riviera. Here is how they compare for a one way trip, as seen by the people who drive it every day.
| Option | Price | Door to door | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Official Cannes taxi, booked | €88 flat fare for the whole car, 1 to 8 passengers | Yes, direct to your address | Families, groups, late flights, lots of luggage, business travellers |
| Private transfer or private hire car booked on a platform | Set by each company, can rise with demand | Yes | Travellers who already use a platform; check what is included |
| Nice taxi from the airport rank | Nice taxi fares | Yes | Last-minute trips when you have not booked |
| Bus, or taking the TER regional train | Cheapest per person | No: a change and a walk with your luggage | Light travellers on a tight budget, outside rush hours |
For example, a family of 4 with 3 suitcases landing at 11 pm pays €88 in total with an official taxi, with no night supplement and nothing extra for the bags. For a stress-free arrival on the Riviera, a booked taxi is the simplest door-to-door service.
The taxis waiting at the Nice Airport stands are Nice taxis. To ride with an official Cannes taxi at the flat fare, book before you land, in 1 of 3 ways:
Tell us at booking if you need a specific vehicle: a 6 to 8-seater van for a group or a lot of luggage, a lower car that is easier to get into, or an electric car.
Nice Côte d’Azur Airport has 2 terminals, Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Give us your flight number and we know which one you land at. Your driver follows your flight in real time and will be waiting for you inside the terminal, at the arrivals exit, holding a sign with your name. If your flight lands early or late, the pick-up time moves with it, at no extra cost.
Once you have collected your luggage, you walk out, find your name sign and your driver takes you to the car. If anyone else offers you a ride inside the terminal, say no: an official Cannes taxi only picks you up on booking.
The trip covers about 30 km, mostly on the A8 motorway, and usually takes 30 to 45 minutes depending on your address in Cannes and on traffic. Traffic is heaviest from 7 to 9 am and from 4 to 7 pm, and during the big congresses and the Film Festival.
Official taxis are allowed to use the bus lanes in town, on boulevard Carnot for instance. At busy times, that can save up to 15 minutes compared with a private hire car stuck in the queue.
Your driver takes you to the door of any address in town or in La Bocca: the palaces on the Croisette (Carlton, Martinez, Majestic, JW Marriott), the Palais des Festivals, Le Suquet, La Californie, the train station or a private villa. For Le Cannet, Mougins, Grasse or Antibes, the regulated meter applies instead of the flat fare: ask for an estimate when you book.
For your return flight, you have 2 options. Take an official taxi at one of the Cannes taxi stands or hail one in the street: the fare to Nice Airport is €85. Or book it to collect you at your hotel or home: €88. Book the day before for an early morning flight, and allow 45 minutes or more at rush hour. Tell your operator which terminal you fly from; an extra drop-off at the second terminal is charged at the regulated rate.
With an official Cannes taxi booked in advance, the flat fare from Nice Côte d’Azur Airport to Cannes or Cannes La Bocca is €88 for the whole taxi, from 1 to 8 passengers, luggage and motorway toll included, day or night.

€85 if you take an official taxi at a Cannes taxi stand or hail one in the street, €88 if you book it to collect you at your address. The fare is all-inclusive in both cases.
