Airport Transfer Service Explained
How an airport transfer service works on the French Riviera — meet and greet, luggage, a fixed price and a driver from the door.
A private airport transfer takes the friction out of arriving — no taxi queue, no working out the route, just a driver waiting to take you and your luggage to the door. Here is how an airport transfer service works on the French Riviera.
Meet and greet
Your chauffeur waits in the arrivals hall with a name board, having tracked the flight for delays, and takes your luggage to the car. There is no searching for a rank or waiting in a queue — the driver is there for you, whatever time you land.
It is the calm, personal start that sets the tone for a trip.
- A name board in arrivals
- Flight tracked for delays
- Luggage taken to the car
- No taxi queue or searching
A fixed price, door to door
The fare is agreed when you book, based on the destination, and includes waiting and tolls — so traffic and delays do not change the price. The chauffeur takes you directly to your hotel, villa or yacht, not to a distant rank or stop.
You know the cost in advance and arrive at the door.
- Price fixed at booking
- Waiting and tolls included
- No meter, whatever the traffic
- Direct to your door
The right vehicle
Transfers are matched to the party: an E-Class for a couple travelling light, a spacious V-Class for groups, families and luggage, and an S-Class or Maybach for a more formal arrival. The vehicle is chosen when you book, not whatever turns up.
It means the right space and comfort for every arrival.
- E-Class for a couple
- V-Class for groups and luggage
- S-Class or Maybach for a formal arrival
- Chosen in advance
Why book ahead
Booking in advance guarantees the car and the price, which matters most when the coast is busy — during the Grand Prix, the festivals or peak summer, when taxis are stretched. It is the difference between a seamless arrival and a scramble.
For a smooth start, the transfer is arranged before you fly.
