Nice airport to Menton by private car
Menton has no commercial airport. The Menton France airport connection almost everyone uses is Nice Côte d’Azur (NCE), about 40 to 45 km west along the coast past Monaco. A private transfer is the door-to-door option most travellers mean when they search “nice airport to menton”: chauffeur in the arrivals hall, bags loaded, straight to the seafront, old town edge, Garavan or a villa near the Italian border.
A London or Manchester flight that lands at T2 at 23:40 still gets the same meet and greet. We watch the board, wait in the hall, and take the A8 east while Menton’s seafront is quieter than at 19:00 in August.
Transfers start from €110 (sedan). The confirmed price is fixed before you travel and includes fuel, tolls, airport parking and waiting time if the flight is late. The same booking covers Menton to Nice airport for the return. Van and Sprinter quotes depend on passengers and luggage.
These rates are starting prices for a sedan.
Terminals and meet and greet: Nice airport transfer. The route passes Monaco; for a Principality drop instead, see Nice airport to Monaco.
How to get from Nice airport to Menton
| Option | Time (typical) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Private chauffeur | 40 to 55 min | Luggage, families, villas, late flights, Italy onward |
| Airport taxi (metered) | 40 to 60 min | Few passengers, walk to the rank |
| ZOU Express 80 (via Monaco) | ~1 h 15 | Lowest cost, fixed stops, daytime |
| Train (link into Nice, then TER toward Ventimiglia) | often 1 h 30+ door to door | Light bags, flexible time |
Line 80 is the direct coach travellers mean by bus from Nice airport to Menton. Airport to Menton runs roughly from mid-morning until about 22:00; Menton to the airport ends earlier in the evening. Outside that window, or with several suitcases after a long-haul arrival, a pre-booked car is the practical option.
A taxi from Nice airport to Menton works if you are happy with the queue and a metered fare. For a fixed taxi-style price without the rank, book the private car instead.
The route and where it slows
We take the A8 east past Monaco, then descend toward Menton (exit toward Menton / Roquebrune). The motorway is usually the fast part.
The slow part is the A8 around the Principality on weekday evenings, summer Saturdays and during Monaco events. When that happens we switch to the Moyenne Corniche (D6007) above Cap-Martin. The Basse Corniche through Monaco is scenic but often slower in daytime. We watch live traffic before leaving the airport.
February adds a second constraint: the Fête du Citron closes parts of the centre and seafront in phases. The exact hotel or villa address lets us pick a usable approach and drop you as close as the barriers allow.
Drop-offs we do most often
| Area | Notes |
|---|---|
| Menton centre / seafront / Promenade du Soleil | Hotel forecourt or agreed street stop |
| Old town / Saint-Michel | Pedestrian lanes; drop at the nearest access |
| Garavan harbour and residences | Marina and border-side hotels |
| Menton station | Useful for onward TER toward Italy |
| Gardens (Val Rahmeh, Serre de la Madone) | Pin or garden entrance |
| Nearby (Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, Cap-Martin, Gorbio, Sainte-Agnès) | Short extension; say so when you book |
| Italy (Ventimiglia, Bordighera, Sanremo) | Cross-border leg; quote at booking |
Yacht crews bound for Garavan often land with soft bags plus a hard case. Tell us the luggage count so we send a V-Class instead of squeezing an E-Class.

Frequently asked questions
Which airport is nearest to Menton, France?
Nice Côte d'Azur (NCE) is the Menton airport travellers mean. Menton has no commercial runway. The road run is about 40 to 45 km east, past Monaco and Roquebrune-Cap-Martin. Monaco and Cannes airports do not replace NCE for scheduled flights into this stretch of coast.
How long is the drive from Nice airport to Menton?
About 40 to 45 km on the A8. Outside rush hour, allow 40 to 55 minutes. Weekday evenings past Monaco, summer Saturdays and Grand Prix week can push the trip toward 1 h 15. Your chauffeur switches to the Moyenne Corniche above Roquebrune-Cap-Martin when the motorway crawls.
How much is a taxi from Nice airport to Menton?
There is no published flat taxi fare to Menton. The meter typically lands around €110 to €140 depending on hour, day and traffic. Our private transfer starts from €110 (sedan), locked at booking, with fuel, tolls and airport waiting included, so a late landing does not rewrite the bill.
Do you drop in the old town, Garavan and near the Italian border?
Yes. Seafront hotels, Promenade du Soleil, Garavan harbour, the station and villas toward Ponte San Luigi all count as Menton-area drops. The historic centre is partly pedestrian: we stop as close as access allows. Give the exact address or pin so we plan the last streets.
Where does the chauffeur meet me at Nice?
In the arrivals hall of Terminal 1 or Terminal 2, after baggage claim, with a name sign. Stay inside the hall. Meeting points and flight tracking are on our Nice airport transfer page.
Can you continue to Ventimiglia or into Italy?
Yes. Menton is the last French town before Italy. Ventimiglia (Friday market), Bordighera and Sanremo are booked as onward drops on the same fixed-price basis. Say so when you request the quote so the fare covers the border leg.
Do you run Menton to Nice airport for departures?
Yes. Book Menton to Nice airport with the arrival. We suggest a pickup time from your hotel or villa based on the flight and the season, with margin for the A8 westbound in the morning.
