Private van with driver in Nice and on the French Riviera

Times and fares at a glance
Popular rides from Nice airport
Drive times are measured without traffic from Terminal 2. Summer weekends and rush hours can add a lot, so allow a margin before a dinner, a ferry or a check-in deadline.

Travelling as a family
Children, strollers and a week of luggage
With seven seats, the V-Class takes two families or three generations in one vehicle, so nobody waits for a second car at the airport. Child seats and boosters are available on request: give the age and weight of each child when you book and the seats are fitted before you arrive.
Luggage depends on the number of passengers. With all seven seats taken, the van carries up to six pieces of luggage. With fewer people on board there is more room for strollers, golf bags or extra cases. List anything bulky in your booking so we can confirm that it fits.
Travelling as two or three with light bags? A comfortable saloon is also available, for up to three passengers with two suitcases and one cabin bag. The V-Class page shows the seats and the luggage space in detail.
Arriving at a villa
- Send the full address, the gate code and the name on the bell
- Mention steep drives, narrow lanes or unpaved tracks
- Tell us if the owner or a concierge will meet you
- Your chauffeur carries the bags to the door
Villas on Cap Ferrat, Cap d’Antibes and in the hills above Nice and Cannes are often reached by roads a coach cannot use. A van with a local driver gets you to the door.
Groups and celebrations
Weddings, birthdays and friends’ trips
For a wedding weekend or a group holiday, one van can run a sequence of rides: guests from the airport to the hotel, the hotel to the venue, the venue back at night. Send the programme with times and addresses and you receive one quote for the whole schedule. If your party is larger than seven, we plan back-to-back rides with the same van and tell you plainly when the timings will not work.
For a day out rather than a transfer, the van can stay with you: a Riviera day tour, a day in Provence, or a chauffeur by the hour for evenings with several stops.
Book your private van
Private van questions
Is the van only for my group?
Yes. A private van is never shared with other passengers. It goes where you have booked, when you have booked.
Can we stop on the way?
A short stop, for a pharmacy or a viewpoint, is usually fine if you mention it when you book. Longer stops or detours change the price, so we include them in the quote.
Can the driver help with luggage?
Yes. Your chauffeur loads and unloads the bags at both ends of the trip.
What if we are more than 7 people?
One V-Class takes up to 7 passengers. For a bigger party, ask for a quote: we can plan back-to-back trips with the same van and tell you honestly if timings do not work.
Do you work with companies too?
Yes, through our business chauffeur service, with VAT invoices and account handling.
Can you pick us up in Monaco?
Not inside Monaco at the moment: we drop off there, and for the return we meet you at an agreed point just across the border in France. The airport to Monaco page explains why.
Do you drive late at night or very early?
Yes, for pre-booked rides. Night rides are priced on the night rate, which the booking form applies automatically, so you see the full fare before you pay.
Do we tip the driver?
A tip is optional and never added to your fare. Our guide to tipping drivers in France explains local habits.
