Taxi & Transfers from Nice to Saint Tropez

How to Get from Nice to Saint-Tropez

We’ve gathered the main ways to get from Nice to Saint-Tropez. Cost — from €28 with public transport to over €300 by taxi or private transfer. Travel time ranges from 2 hours to nearly 4, depending on how you go — and how bad the traffic is.

It’s just 110 km, but the road is narrow and summer can slow everything down. If you want to skip the transfers, maps and ferry schedules, a taxi-transfer from Nice to Saint-Tropez is a relaxed way to start your Riviera escape.

By Train and Bus or Ferry

This is the most scenic — and most complicated — public option. Take a TER or TGV train from Nice to Saint-Raphaël–Valescure. It takes just about an hour. Then either hop on a bus or a ferry to Saint-Tropez. That leg adds another 1–2 hours.

The total cost is around €28–€32, depending on time and ticket type. You’ll pass gorgeous coastline views, and the ferry adds a beautiful sea ride if the weather’s good.

Downside? Multiple changes. And both bus and ferry depend on the season. Summer crowds make things slower, and off-season schedules are limited.

By Direct Bus

Some private companies — like BlaBlaCar Bus — run direct buses between Nice and Saint-Tropez. They usually operate in high season, with rides taking around 2 hours.

Tickets start from €35. It’s cheap and relatively simple, but buses can get stuck in coastal traffic, especially near Sainte-Maxime. And departures aren’t frequent — maybe once or twice a day.

If you're traveling with luggage or small kids, the wait and heat might be tough. Check the schedule before you count on this route.

By Taxi

A taxi from Nice to Saint-Tropez is fast, but pricey. The ride takes about 1.5 hours in light traffic — longer during July and August.

Prices vary between €250 and €350, depending on the time of day and exact pick-up point. You can get a cab from the street, hotel, or Nice Airport, but confirm the price before you go.

Make sure it’s a licensed taxi. Look for “Taxi Nice” signage and a working meter or agreed rate. Many drivers accept cards, but always ask first.

By Private Transfer

Looking for a smoother ride? Book a taxi-transfer from Nice to Saint-Tropez through Kiwitaxi or another service. A driver picks you up right at the airport or hotel and takes you directly to your destination — no stops, no stress.

Prices start around €250. You can pick a car type, book child seats, add pet transport, or request an English-speaking driver. No guesswork. Everything’s set in advance, and your driver shows up on time — even if your flight’s delayed.

This is the easiest way to move along the Côte d’Azur without dragging bags through stations or hoping a ferry shows up. Just a calm drive and sea views out the window.

Traveling with Children

Long transfers and coastal traffic are no friend to little travelers. Add a ferry, plus bags, and the day gets long fast.

With Kiwitaxi, you can pre-book a car with child seats and space for everyone. Your driver waits at the terminal or hotel and gets you there in one go — no transfers, no waiting.

Traveling with Pets

Public transport has rules — and not all of them are clear. Carriers, paperwork, schedules — it can all turn into stress before the trip even starts.

Book a transfer with the pet option selected, and your driver will be ready. Your pet rides safely with you — no crates under bus seats or questions at the port.

What to Do in Saint-Tropez

The town is small, but full of charm. Don’t rush to the beaches right away. Start with a walk through the old village — pastel buildings, tiny shops, and the smell of warm stone and salt air.

Watch the yachts in the harbor, grab a drink at Sénéquier, or pick up fruit at the Place des Lices market. Everything’s close, everything’s beautiful.

And if you’ve arrived calmly, without train switches or traffic drama? You’ll enjoy it that much more.
