About Transportation
What's the difference between a taxi and a VTC in France?
A taxi is licensed to use bus lanes and taxi ranks and can be hailed on the street, with fares set by a regulated meter. A VTC (véhicule de transport avec chauffeur) must be booked in advance, usually by phone, WhatsApp, or an app, with the price agreed before the trip. Most private drivers on the Riviera operate as VTC, which suits pre-planned airport transfers and day trips better than a street hail.
How far in advance should I book an airport transfer from Nice?
For Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, booking a day or two ahead is usually enough outside peak season, but during summer, the Cannes Film Festival, or Monaco Grand Prix week, drivers get booked up fast. Confirming pickup details (flight number, terminal, luggage) in writing avoids confusion, and most English-speaking drivers on the Riviera track flight delays automatically.
Are there English-speaking private drivers on the French Riviera?
Yes, a reasonable number, especially around Nice, Cannes, and Antibes where airport transfers and day trips to Monaco or the Italian Riviera are common bookings. Fluency varies by driver, so it's worth confirming directly for longer trips or ones involving detailed commentary, such as a private tour rather than a straightforward transfer.
