The French Riviera dazzles with its glamour—but between taxi shortages, language barriers, and surge pricing, getting around can be stressful. As a luxury private driver (VTC) serving Nice, Cannes, and Monaco, I’ll reveal why booking a premium chauffeur beats hailing a standard taxi every time.
The Taxi Reality in Nice, Cannes & Monaco
While taxis seem convenient, travelers face:
- 🚖 Limited Availability
- Taxi ranks empty during peak hours (airport queues: 45+ mins).
- Uber/Bolt rarely available in Monaco (banned) or coastal towns.
- 💶 Price Surprises
- Meters run non-stop in traffic (Nice → Monaco: €120+ vs fixed €149 with us).
- Baggage/4th passenger fees (€10 extra).
- 🗣️ Language Barriers
- Most taxi drivers speak only French.
- Miscommunication risks (hotel names, drop-off points).
