Nice Côte d'Azur airport transfers: cars, vans and coaches

Nice Côte d'Azur sits on the edge of the city, a 7 km hop that takes 15-30 minutes. Chauffeurs and coaches have separate published pickup points at both terminals, and every coach has to be registered with the airport beforehand.

Chauffeur pickup: T1 professional parking, T2 entrances A3/A4

At Terminal 1, chauffeurs pick up from the professional parking. At Terminal 2, they use the bus station entrances A3/A4. Check the terminal on the ticket before the booking is made; if the group does end up at the wrong one, a shuttle and tram line 2 link T1 and T2.

Terminals

Coaches: T1 and T2 bus stations, one hour maximum

Coaches with 10 or more seats set down and pick up at the T1 and T2 bus stations, with a one-hour maximum. They must register plate and seat count for access control, so the vehicle needs to be fixed before the day. A late vehicle swap can mean a fresh registration, which is one more reason to confirm numbers early.

Nice's 64 set-down points and Nice Bus Park

Nice has 64 authorised coach drop-off and pick-up points with a 30-minute maximum, after which the coach must go to a dedicated site. Coach parking is at MIN long-stay (67 bays, booked 48 hours ahead), XV° Corps and Parc Phoenix. Bookings are made through Nice Bus Park, and the reservation is displayed on the windscreen. For a seafront hotel, that means a quick set-down and the coach leaving for its booked bay.

The ZFE on the Promenade and in the hypercentre

The Nice ZFE bans Crit'Air 4 and 5 buses and coaches and covers the Promenade and the hypercentre, where the seafront and Masséna hotel zones sit. Ask for the vehicle's Crit'Air class if the hotel is on the Promenade des Anglais.

Monaco, Cannes and Parc Phoenix

Monaco is about 20 km from Nice and Cannes about 33 km, so a group landing for an event in either can go directly. Parc Phoenix, near the airport, has coach parking and can serve as a holding point between an early landing and afternoon check-in.

Questions

Where does a chauffeur meet us at Terminal 2?

How long can a coach wait at the airport?

Up to one hour at the T1 or T2 bus station.

Can the coach park at our hotel on the Promenade?

It can set down for up to 30 minutes at an authorised point, then parks at a booked site.
