Groupement des Taxis Laurentins is an official taxi cooperative founded in 1995, based in Saint-Laurent-du-Var and covering Nice and the surrounding area. It runs saloon and estate vehicles, is contactable around the clock for both advance bookings and immediate journeys, and holds ranks including the one at Saint-Laurent-du-Var railway station.

Being an official taxi rather than a private-hire operator has practical consequences. Taxis run on a regulated meter with maximum fares set by the Alpes-Maritimes préfecture, can be taken from a rank without booking ahead, and cover the fixed-price airport routes that private-hire cars are not permitted to serve. The cooperative states that its drivers speak English and Italian. For a taxi that matters most at the start of a journey rather than during it: getting an unfamiliar address, a specific airport terminal, or an inland village understood correctly is the point at which a ride either goes right or becomes expensive. Booking ahead by phone is advisable rather than relying on finding a car waiting at a rank.
