NCE — Nice (Côte d'Azur) — Taxi Fare Guide

Official taxis wait at the dedicated rank outside both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 at Nice Côte d'Azur Airport. These are the only vehicles legally allowed to pick up passengers directly from the airport rank; ignore any driver approaching you inside the hall. The rank operator is Central Taxi Riviera (Taxis Niçois), reachable on +33 4 93 13 78 78.

Unlike most French cities, Nice airport uses fixed flat fares to set zones rather than a running meter, so you know the price before you get in. The regulated 2026 flat fare to Nice city centre is €32, published on the airport's own website. Longer trips along the coast are also fixed: roughly €72 to Antibes/Juan-les-Pins, €85 to Cannes and €95 to Monaco.

These headline prices are daytime rates and exclude supplements — a small luggage charge and higher night, Sunday and public-holiday tariffs can push a centre trip to around €35–38. Always confirm you are paying the posted flat fare and ask for a receipt. Payment by card is normally accepted.

Ride-hailing apps such as Uber and Bolt operate in Nice and can be cheaper off-peak, but they must use a separate pick-up point and surge pricing applies during busy arrival waves. The tram line 2 to the city centre and port is a very cheap alternative at a few euros.
