Transport options from Nice Airport

Several ways exist to make this journey. Here is how they compare:

Private transfer

A private transfer is door to door for a fixed EUR 255, with a driver who meets you in arrivals and tracks your flight. Ideal whether you are visiting for the Festival d'Aix, a wedding in a Provencal estate or onward travel.

Train / public transport

The Aix-en-Provence TGV station is well outside the city, so trains from Nice mean a connection plus a shuttle into the centre. With luggage a direct car is far simpler.

Taxi

Long-distance taxis from the airport are expensive and not fixed price. A pre-booked transfer gives you a guaranteed fare and an English-speaking driver waiting for your flight.

Our recommendation: For a stress-free arrival with luggage, children or after a long flight, a pre-booked private transfer offers the best comfort and value.
