Fixed fare · Advance booking only
Your private driver takes you from the centre of Nice or from the airport to Monaco, in a Tesla Model 3, at a fixed fare, by the A8 motorway. The Principality, its Rock and Monte-Carlo, twenty kilometres from Nice.
Two square kilometres between the mountains and the sea, and two faces: the Rock, with the palace, the cathedral and the Oceanographic Museum, where the Principality keeps the look of a fortified village; and Monte-Carlo, with the casino, the palaces and the shop windows, around Port Hercule and its yachts. Everything is done on foot, by public lifts and stairways, from one level of the town to the next.
The Monte-Carlo Rally and the International Circus Festival in January, mild weather, hotels at their best prices and museums without queues. The Rock is quiet, the light is sharp.
The season of the big events: the tennis tournament in April, the Historic and Formula E Grands Prix, then Formula 1 in late May or early June, when the whole town becomes a circuit. Rooms and transfers are booked months ahead on those weeks.
Larvotto beach, fireworks over the harbour, open-air concerts. The heat is tempered by the sea; plan the pick-up early in the morning, when the motorway and the entrances to Monaco are clear.
The Monaco Yacht Show in late September, the sea still warm until October, the national day on 19 November with fireworks over the harbour. After October, the Principality returns to its rhythm and its winter prices.
Some twenty kilometres separate Nice from Monaco. I take the A8 motorway to the Monaco exit, then the road drops down to the Principality from La Turbie, with the view over the Rock, the harbour and Monte-Carlo: the fastest and most reliable route, away from the traffic on the Basse Corniche. Tolls are included in the fare. On arrival, I drop you at the exact address of your choice: hotel, harbour, station, or the Rock as close as possible to the authorised access points.
To Nice
Same €65 fixed fare the other way, to Nice city centre or the airport, no surcharge. Recommended pick-up: Monaco-Monte-Carlo railway station, your hotel or any address in town.
In the centre of Nice, I pick you up at the address you give: hotel, apartment, Nice-Ville railway station (drop-off point on avenue Thiers) or the port. Enter the exact address in the form; I confirm the precise spot by email.
In Monaco, I drop you in front of your hotel or at the address of your choice. The Rock (Monaco-Ville) is closed to visitors' cars: I drop you at the Pêcheurs car park, whose lift leads directly to the Oceanographic Museum, or at place de la Visitation depending on the day's access. During the Grand Prix, in late May or early June, and the Monaco Yacht Show, in late September, some roads are closed: I drop you as close as possible and show you the way. At rush hour, allow ten extra minutes to enter the Principality.

No: there is no border control between France and Monaco. Just remember an ID if you want to enter the casino's gaming rooms.

The circuit is built on the streets of Monaco for several weeks and roads are closed on race days. I drop you as close as possible to your destination and show you the way. Book early: slots go fast on those days.
