Taxi Nice Airport — Cannes
Quick transfer to the cinema capital of the world
A taxi between Nice Côte d'Azur Airport and Cannes costs between €50 and €70 when booked in advance at a fixed price, over a road distance of about 30 kilometres and a journey time of from 30 to 50 minutes depending on traffic. The usual route takes A8 (La Provençale), exit Cannes, with ~€3 in tolls (Nice–Cannes section). A van for up to seven passengers starts at €90. 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.

Route
Route Nice Côte d'Azur Airport → Cannes
Departure is from Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 of Nice Côte d'Azur Airport. The driver quickly joins the A8 motorway (La Provençale) towards Aix-en-Provence and Cannes. The motorway passes through the hills of the Nice hinterland and crosses above the town of Antibes. Exit 42 (Cannes-Mougins) or exit 42bis (Cannes-La Bocca) leads to the city centre in just a few minutes. The alternative route follows the coastal road (D6098) through Cagnes-sur-Mer, Villeneuve-Loubet and Antibes-Juan-les-Pins. This seaside route is more scenic but considerably longer, especially in summer when coastal traffic is heavy. For destinations west of Cannes (La Bocca, Mandelieu), exit 40 is more direct.

Specific tips for the Nice Côte d'Azur Airport → Cannes route
During the Cannes Film Festival (mid-May), the city is extremely busy and traffic around the Palais des Festivals and La Croisette is often gridlocked.
