Complete private chauffeur rate guide for the French Riviera — Nice airport fixed-price packages, city-to-city transfers, full-day as-directed hire, night supplements and event pricing. Everything you need to plan your premium transport budget with confidence.
Planning a stay on the French Riviera and looking to understand the cost of a private chauffeur on the Côte d'Azur? This article provides all the reference points you need to plan your budget: airport packages, city-to-city journeys, full-day as-directed hire, supplements and specifics relating to international events (Cannes Film Festival, Monaco Grand Prix).
Eminence Prestige operates a policy of fixed and fully transparent pricing: no surprise dynamic pricing, no meter running, no hidden surcharges. The price quoted is the price paid.
Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE) is the Riviera's principal gateway. Here are the fixed-price rates from or to NCE in a Mercedes E-Class (1–3 passengers):
All these rates include a professional EVTC-licensed chauffeur, premium 2026 vehicle, fuel, water and refreshments, high-speed Wi-Fi, real-time flight tracking and meet & greet in the arrivals area with a personalised name board. View our Nice service.
The airport rates above are quoted in a Mercedes E-Class (1–3 passengers). Each vehicle in the fleet has its own rate per journey:
Example: a Nice airport ↔ Monaco transfer costs €130 in an E-Class, €165 in a V-Class, €190 in an S-Class, €200 in a Range Rover Vogue LWB and €235 in a Luxury Sprinter. Discover our full fleet.
For multiple journeys (business meetings, sightseeing days, events, shopping), as-directed hire is more cost-effective than a series of separate transfers. You have the chauffeur and vehicle at your disposal for the entire duration, waiting time included, with a completely flexible itinerary.
Weekly and monthly packages benefit from significant tiered discounts. Ideal for extended stays, film productions or prolonged business travel. View the as-directed hire service.
Three main supplements may apply in addition to the base rate:
Every pickup from Monaco by a French operator requires a legal declaration to the Monegasque authorities at least 2 hours before the pickup. To ensure the administrative process runs smoothly, Eminence Prestige requires an effective booking at least 12 hours before any Monaco pickup. There is no constraint for drop-offs in Monaco from France. Find out more about our Monaco service.
