Taxi & Transfers from Cannes to Nice

How to Get from Cannes to Nice

We’ve gathered the easiest ways to get from Cannes to Nice. Cost — from €2.80 to around €150. Travel time — between 20 and 45 minutes.

The distance is short — just 30 km — but with traffic, train times, or a lot of luggage, it can still feel like a puzzle.

By Train

Fast and scenic — the train is a favorite. You’ll ride along the sea, watching the coast flash by. Travel time? Between 19 and 37 minutes depending on the type of train.

There are over 70 trains a day. That means flexibility. Fares range from €2.80 to €14. No transfers, no guessing. Just make sure you check the platform — some trains arrive just 2 minutes before they leave.

By Bus

Buses are a budget traveler’s dream. Options like BlaBlaCar Bus or FlixBus get you from central Cannes to Nice in 25–45 minutes, depending on traffic and stops.

Tickets cost €3 to €14. The ride is direct, and if you're lucky — it’s quiet. Downside? Less space for bags, and a bit more waiting when boarding. Still, not bad for a few euros.

By Taxi

Prefer comfort? Grab a taxi. It takes 30 to 45 minutes and costs around €80–90. The best part? You go straight to your destination — no schedules, no stations.

Make sure the fare is clear before you go. And if you're traveling during a major Cannes event — book ahead. Taxis disappear fast when the red carpet rolls out.

Private Transfer

Want something planned and guaranteed? A taxi-transfer from Cannes to Nice is easy to book with Kiwitaxi. You pick the car, the time, and the address — they handle the rest.

Prices start at €60. No meter. No surprise charges. Just a clean car, a smooth ride, and time to look out the window and enjoy the coast while someone else handles the road.

Vehicle Classes for Your Transfer

• Economy – simple, efficient, for up to 2 people
• Comfort – more room for families or heavy luggage
• Minivan – when you're not traveling light or you're not alone
• Business – a quieter ride, if you need a moment before the city

Transfer with Children

Train platforms, crowds, suitcases — not a great combo with toddlers. Private cars can be booked with child seats already installed. No hunting, no hassle.

Kiwitaxi offers that. You just click the option. They do the rest. That’s one less thing to think about while everyone’s tired and ready to go.

Transfer with Pets

Public transport and pets? Often messy. Some buses say yes. Others say no. Trains ask for boxes or papers.

With Kiwitaxi, just choose a pet-friendly vehicle and ride together. No stress. Your animal is part of the trip, not cargo.

What to See in Nice

Once you’re in Nice, the vibe changes. It’s slower than Cannes. But warmer. The promenade stretches for kilometers. You can sit, walk, swim — or just watch people go by.

Wander into the old town, grab a socca and espresso, and find a patch of sun. After a short trip from Cannes, Nice offers space to breathe — and one more reason to stay on the coast a little longer.
