Prestigo · Chauffeur · Saint‑TropezHow to Book from Nice Côte d'Azur Airport to Menton
Prestigo · Chauffeur · Saint‑TropezThe private transfer from Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE) to Menton costs a fixed €140 per vehicle — 45 km in 40 to 55 minutes via the A8, fully inclusive: tolls, fuel, 45 min complimentary airport waiting, real-time flight tracking and all luggage. Menton is the last French town before the Italian border — also the natural transfer for travellers continuing into Liguria. Your English-speaking chauffeur meets you in the arrivals hall of Terminal 1 (international and long-haul flights) or Terminal 2 (Schengen and low-cost carriers), name board in hand, having tracked your flight in real time. Menton is the last French town before Ventimiglia, so this is also the natural transfer for travellers continuing into Italian Liguria.
The drive follows the A8 motorway east past Monaco, then descends to Menton via the Basse Corniche (D6098) for the final coastal approach. Expect 40 to 55 minutes outside peak hours; during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend in late May or summer Saturdays, the A8 around the Principality can slow, and Prestigo Chauffeur chauffeurs switch to the Moyenne Corniche (D6007) above Roquebrune-Cap-Martin for a faster — and far more scenic — passage. Unlike a metered Nice airport taxi, which has no published fixed fare to Menton and typically runs €120–€150, your price is locked at booking with no traffic surcharge and no automatic night supplement.
Menton is famous for its microclimate, its citrus heritage and the celebrated Fête du Citron each February, which draws crowds from across Europe — a peak period when advance booking is essential. Prestigo Chauffeur chauffeurs serve the Garavan district, the old town, the seafront hotels, the Serre de la Madone and Val Rahmeh gardens, and private villas along the border. Prestigo Chauffeur also handles cross-border drop-offs to Ventimiglia and its renowned Friday market, the Hanbury Botanical Gardens, Bordighera and Sanremo. The service runs 24/7, ideal for late intercontinental arrivals, and Prestigo Chauffeur coordinates yacht drop-offs at Menton's Garavan marina on request.

Prestigo · Chauffeur · Saint‑TropezFrequently asked questions about this route
The Prestigo Chauffeur fixed rate from Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE) to Menton starts at €140 per vehicle (up to 4 passengers in a saloon, up to 7 in a Prestigo Chauffeur Mercedes V-Class van). The price is fully inclusive: A8 tolls, fuel, 45 minutes of complimentary airport waiting, real-time flight tracking and all luggage. A metered Nice airport taxi has no published fixed fare to Menton and typically runs €120–€150 by day, climbing at night and weekends — with no price guarantee before you ride.
The drive covers about 45 km and takes 40 to 55 minutes via the A8 motorway. During the Monaco Grand Prix weekend (late May) or summer Saturdays, the A8 around Monaco can congest; Prestigo Chauffeur chauffeurs then switch to the Moyenne Corniche (D6007) above Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, often saving 15–20 minutes and adding a spectacular sea view.
Your chauffeur positions himself in the arrivals hall of the correct terminal — Terminal 1 for international and long-haul flights, Terminal 2 for Schengen and low-cost airlines — holding a board with your name. Real-time flight tracking begins from take-off, so he adjusts automatically if you land early or late; the first 45 minutes of waiting are complimentary.
Yes. Menton sits on the Italian border, and many clients continue into Liguria. Prestigo Chauffeur handles onward drop-offs to Ventimiglia (and its famous Friday market), the Hanbury Botanical Gardens, Bordighera and Sanremo. Cross-border transfers are quoted at booking with the full fixed-price guarantee — see the Prestigo Chauffeur Nice to Milan transfer (/en/transfer-nice-milan) for longer Italian journeys.
Yes, and it is one of the Prestigo Chauffeur team's busiest Menton periods. The Lemon Festival each February (roughly mid-February to early March) draws large crowds and saturates Menton's parking and access roads. Prestigo Chauffeur recommends booking 5–7 days ahead, and Prestigo Chauffeur chauffeurs use upstream drop-off points with a short walking escort when the seafront is closed to traffic.
Yes, Prestigo Chauffeur operates 24/7 with no automatic night surcharge. For intercontinental flights arriving after midnight or late returns from nearby Monaco, Prestigo Chauffeur guarantees pickup with no hidden fees. Prestigo Chauffeur recommends booking 24 hours in advance for slots between 10pm and 6am.
For 1–2 passengers with light luggage, the Tesla Model Y or Mercedes E-Class is ideal. For up to 3 passengers seeking prestige comfort, the Mercedes S-Class; for up to 4, the Range Rover. For families and groups of 5–7, the Mercedes V-Class Van offers ample luggage space. All vehicles are air-conditioned, WiFi-equipped and maintained to premium standards.
Yes, at the same fixed rate. Booking both legs in one reservation secures vehicle availability for your return, which is scarce in high season and during the Fête du Citron. Enter both dates and times when reserving; see the Prestigo Chauffeur transfer rates (/en/saint-tropez-transfer-rates) for other Riviera routes.
