Cannes to Nice Transfer
The 33 kilometers between Cannes and Nice connect two of the Mediterranean’s most legendary cities — the glamorous film capital and the belle époque queen of the Riviera. Whether you’re catching the Film Festival, attending an exhibition at the Palais des Congrès, exploring both cities on a Riviera holiday, or simply need a comfortable ride between appointments — our private transfer service delivers you in style, on time, and without the complications of trains, taxis, or parking. Door to door in 30 minutes.
Why Choose Private Transfer?
Yes, there’s a train. Yes, there are taxis. But consider what you gain with a private transfer: door-to-door service from exactly where you are to exactly where you need to be. No walking to stations, no waiting on platforms, no negotiating with drivers, no uncertainty about fares. When time matters — during events, for business meetings, or simply because you’re on holiday and comfort matters — a private Mercedes with a professional driver transforms a commute into a pleasure.
During major events like the Cannes Film Festival, MIPIM, or MIPCOM, our service becomes especially valuable. We know the traffic patterns, the security zones, the drop-off points. We ensure you arrive on time, relaxed, and ready — not frazzled from fighting crowds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the price the same in both directions?
Yes. Cannes to Nice and Nice to Cannes are the same fixed price. Book a round trip and we’ll give you 10% off the return journey.
Can you pick up and drop off at specific addresses?
Absolutely — that’s the whole point. Hotel lobby, restaurant entrance, private villa, marina berth — we come to you and take you exactly where you need to go.
What about during the Film Festival?
We operate throughout the Festival but recommend booking well in advance. Security zones and drop-off restrictions apply, but we know them intimately. We’ll get you as close as regulations allow.
Can you wait while I attend a meeting or event?
Yes. For short waits (under 30 minutes), we include waiting time at no charge. For longer periods, ask about our hourly rates or book a return pickup time.
How does the scenic route compare to the motorway?
The A8 motorway is faster (30 minutes vs 45-60). The coastal Bord de Mer route is beautiful but slower due to traffic. We’ll recommend based on your timing needs.
