Local tip for Nice
Nice's NCE is only 7 km west of the city — one of the closest European city airports. The Tram Line 2 from T2 to central Nice is €1.50 and takes 25 minutes. Taxis are regulated at €32 to central Nice and €37 at night/Sundays — fixed and transparent. Pre-booked transfers at €25–45 compete on meet-and-greet and destinations along the coast (Monaco, Antibes, Cannes).
How we rated each Nice transfer service
For Nice we rated each platform on two scenarios: central Nice arrival (where the tram is hard to beat) and Riviera transfer (NCE → Monaco, Cannes, Antibes, St-Tropez) where the real value lies. We weighted driver knowledge of the A8 motorway routing and toll handling.
Our verdict: best airport transfer in Nice
Nice itself is a weak pre-book case — the tram at €1.50 or the regulated €32 taxi both work. Where pre-booked transfers genuinely win: onward transport to Monaco (NCE → Monaco is €85–110 and far better than the train for families), Cannes, Antibes, St-Tropez, and anywhere along the Riviera. Welcome Pickups and Kiwitaxi both have strong Côte d'Azur driver networks.
