About This Transfer
The transfer from Monaco to Nice Airport (NCE) covers approximately 20 kilometres. In normal conditions, the journey takes 25 - 30 minutes via the A8 motorway or coastal routes. Your verified carrier will pick you up from your hotel or address in Monaco and drop you directly at your departure terminal (Terminal 1 or Terminal 2) at Nice Airport.
Sunday evening after the Monaco Grand Prix (June 7 2026) is one of the busiest departure windows of the year. The race ends early afternoon. The circuit begins to reopen, but tens of thousands of spectators, accreditation holders, and hospitality guests all converge on the exit routes simultaneously. The transfer that normally takes 25 minutes becomes 50 - 70 minutes. Monday morning after GP is dramatically easier - the roads are clear, and the transfer is back to 25 minutes. If your schedule allows staying Sunday night and departing Monday, do so.
Upfront pricing from verified carriers means you know the cost before confirmation. The transfer includes luggage handling and direct service from your hotel to the airport. No metered taxi queues, no rental car parking stress, no public transport changes. Your carrier has knowledge of Monaco's layout and the quickest routes to the airport based on current conditions and the day's events.

Sights Along the Route
Your driver covers the distance while you enjoy the scenery.
Casino Square and the Rock
Departing Monaco, you will pass or approach Casino Square (the heart of Monte Carlo), the old town atop 'the Rock', and the harbour district. These landmarks define Monaco's geography. Port Hercule, the deep-water harbour with the Grand Prix pit complex, is visible if your route passes by the waterfront.
Monaco tourism →Port Hercule and the Superyachts
The Port Hercule area is one of the world's most exclusive marina locations. During your departure, if your carrier routes near the harbour, the concentration of superyachts and luxury vessels is striking. During GP week, the pit complex and corporate hospitality structures are temporarily installed around the harbour.
Monaco tourism →Corniche Views Heading West
Departing Monaco west toward Nice, the route follows the coast for portions of the journey. The Corniche roads (Basse or Moyenne) offer views of the Mediterranean, the coastline, and small coastal towns. The A8 motorway is faster but less scenic.
Nice tourism →Nice Cote d'Azur Airport
As you approach Nice Airport, the landscape opens toward the Baie des Anges (Bay of Angels). The airport sits on the coastal plain overlooking the Mediterranean. Your carrier drops you at the correct departures entrance for your terminal. Security queues at NCE can extend 30 to 45 minutes during peak morning departure windows.

I'm leaving Monaco on Sunday evening after the Grand Prix. How much extra time should I allow?
Sunday post-race is one of the busiest departure windows of the year at Nice Airport. Allow a minimum of 90 minutes after the race ends (early afternoon) before your pickup, and 3 hours 30 minutes from pickup to your flight departure time. The roads remain congested as tens of thousands of spectators and hospitality guests exit simultaneously. If you can delay departure to Monday, the roads are clear and the transfer is 25 minutes.
Can the carrier pick me up from my hotel anywhere in Monaco?
Yes. Verified carriers pick up from any address in Monaco - Monte Carlo hotels, Port Hercule area, La Condamine, Fontvieille, and Beausoleil just above the border. During GP week, some pickup points near the circuit may have restricted vehicle access immediately after the race ends. Discuss your hotel location and post-race timing with your carrier when booking.
Which terminal should I confirm for my departure?
Confirm your departure terminal when you book. Terminal 1 handles most international departures and flag carrier services. Terminal 2 handles short-haul European routes including most low-cost carriers. Your carrier will drop you at the correct departures entrance. Check your airline's website to confirm which terminal they depart from.
Can I book a same-day transfer from Monaco to the airport?
Yes. Same-day bookings are possible through TransferBnB, though availability depends on carrier capacity. If you need a same-day transfer, book as early as possible - even a few hours before your flight. Provide your actual flight departure time and confirm which terminal. Your carrier will contact you to confirm pickup timing.
What is your cancellation policy for Monaco departures?
Bookings can be cancelled free of charge more than 24 hours before your scheduled pickup. For pickups on peak dates - the last Saturday of December, the first Saturday of January, and the first three Saturdays of February - the free cancellation window extends to 72 hours before pickup. Cancellations inside those windows carry a 100% fee. Major events like GP race week are not peak dates and keep the 24-hour window. If your flight is rescheduled, contact your carrier immediately - most offer flexibility for genuine flight changes.
What is the starting price for a Monaco to Nice Airport transfer?
Private transfers start from around €85 for a standard sedan, with estate and minivan options priced higher for extra luggage or larger groups. Prices are per vehicle, not per person, and are fixed when you book. Compare offers from verified carriers on TransferBnB - the exact price depends on vehicle class, group size, and date.

What our customers say
Driver was already outside arrivals when we landed in Geneva - he'd tracked the flight and knew we'd come through early. Three sets of skis loaded and we were on the road to Chamonix before most passengers had cleared customs.
Thomas B. - London, UK Good experience. Chose from three offers for Munich Airport to Kitzbühel, picked the one with the best rating. Straightforward.
Marta R. - Munich, Germany Four of us split the cost from Zurich Airport to St. Anton and came out cheaper than the shared shuttle per person - plus we went straight to the chalet door instead of stopping at every hotel in the valley. Hadn't expected it to work out that way but it did.
Olivier D. - Lyon, France Travelled with two small kids and a lot of luggage from Rome Fiumicino. I mentioned the stroller in the booking notes and the driver showed up with a large estate. No fuss.
Sarah K. - Dublin, Ireland Eight people, Geneva to Verbier, all ski gear. One minibus, one price, door to chalet. We paid less per person than the shuttle and didn't have to share with anyone else.
Pieter V. - Amsterdam, Netherlands I book private transfers for work fairly regularly across different platforms. What TransferBnB does differently is that you get the driver's name, direct number, vehicle, and plate before you travel - not just a confirmation number. For business trips where timing matters, that's the part that actually counts.
