Taxi Nice — Draguignan
Gateway to the Haut-Var and Verdon Gorges
A taxi between Nice and Draguignan costs between €185 and €220 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 95 kilometres and a journey time of from 70 to 90 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A8, exit Le Muy, then D555, with ~€9 in tolls (Nice–Le Muy section). A van for up to seven passengers starts at €290. That price includes luggage, tolls and the driver's approach, and it does not move if traffic builds up: that is the difference with a metered ride, where every minute of waiting is charged and the applicable rate depends on the hour. On an unbooked ride, the amount follows the scale of the prefectoral order applying where the passenger is picked up, higher from seven in the evening to ten in the morning as well as on Sundays and public holidays. The driver tracks the flight or train number given at booking and shifts the pick-up at no extra cost if it is delayed, and cancelling remains free up to six hours before departure.

Draguignan, sub-prefecture of the Var, is a characterful town nestled at the foot of the Haut-Var hills. Former prefecture of the department until 1974, it retains a rich heritage with its medieval Clock Tower, the Pierre de la Fée dolmen (one of the largest in Provence) and the artillery school that shaped its identity. The town is surrounded by AOC Côtes-de-Provence vineyards and is the ideal starting point for exploring the Verdon Gorges, Lake Sainte-Croix and the perched villages of the Haut-Var such as Aups, Tourtour ('the village in the sky') and Bargème.
Route
Route Nice → Draguignan
From Nice, take the A8 towards Aix-en-Provence. After 80 km, exit at Le Muy toll (exit 36). Then take the D555 towards Draguignan for 15 km through the Argens plain. This road passes through Les Arcs-sur-Argens, a renowned wine village, before arriving in Draguignan from the south. The route is straightforward and well signposted. The landscape gradually evolves: after the coastal hills of the Estérel, you enter green Provence, with its oaks, olive trees and vineyards as far as the eye can see.

The journey is smooth outside summer weekends. The Le Muy exit can be congested on Saturday mornings in July-August.
