How to Book from Nice Côte d'Azur Airport to Menton
Menton hangs at the far eastern edge of the Riviera — 45 km from Nice Côte d'Azur (NCE), 40 to 55 minutes by road, and the last French address before Liguria. Our tariff opens at €140 per vehicle, firm at quotation, with tolls, fuel, luggage, live flight tracking and a 45-minute welcome window enclosed. The chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall your airline uses — T1 international, T2 Schengen and low-cost — having followed the flight from take-off; onward runs across the border to Ventimiglia and beyond are quoted with the same guarantees.
The road runs the A8 past Monaco and descends the Basse Corniche (D6098) for the final approach along the water. On Grand Prix weekend and the saturated Saturdays of summer, our chauffeurs lift the route to the Moyenne Corniche (D6098's high sister above Roquebrune-Cap-Martin), trading minutes for one of the finest sea rooms in Europe. Where a metered taxi carries no published Menton tariff and commonly settles at €120–150, your fare was fixed before you flew.
Menton's microclimate ripens the lemons the town celebrates each February — the Fête du Citron draws all of Europe and chokes every approach; reserve well ahead. Beyond the festival, we serve the Garavan district's villas and gardens, the seafront houses, and the crossings into Italy: Ventimiglia's Friday market, the Hanbury Gardens, Bordighera, Sanremo.

Frequently asked questions about this route
Everything you need to know about our chauffeur services, flight tracking, and transparent fixed pricing.
€140 opens the fare per vehicle — three in an E-Class, seven in a V-Class — tolls, fuel, waiting and luggage enclosed. The metered alternative carries no published Menton rate, generally lands at €120–150 by day and climbs after dark.
About 45 km and 40 to 55 minutes on the A8. When the Grand Prix seizes the Principality in late May, or on the heavy Saturdays of summer, the chauffeur rises to the Moyenne Corniche above Roquebrune-Cap-Martin — frequently quicker, and unreasonably beautiful.
In the arrivals hall your airline uses — T1 for international and long-haul, T2 for Schengen and low-cost — name board raised, flight followed from take-off. Forty-five minutes of waiting come free.
That is half of Menton's business. We carry you across the line to Ventimiglia and its Friday market, the Hanbury Botanical Gardens, Bordighera and Sanremo, cross-border fares fixed at quotation. For the long Italian journeys, see our Nice–Milan service (/transfer-nice-milan).
It is among our busiest Menton weeks. The February festival drowns the town's parking and approaches; we ask five to seven days' notice, and on the closed seafront days the chauffeur delivers you to the nearest authorised point with a short escorted walk.
Around the clock, no automatic night supplement — late intercontinental arrivals and post-Monaco suppers alike. For the hours between ten and six, confirming a day ahead secures the vehicle.
One or two with light luggage, the E-Class; a touring arrival, the S-Class or Maybach; four in the G-Class; a family of seven with cases, the V-Class. All air-conditioned, WiFi-equipped, kept without compromise.
At the same fixed figure, and early reservation is wise for the Fête du Citron weeks when vehicles grow scarce. Both legs sit happily in one confirmation; our Riviera rate card (/rates) covers the other routes.
