Private transfer Nice (centre-ville) → Saint-Tropez
120 km from central Nice to the Gulf of Saint-Tropez, via the A8 and the gulf corniche: about 1h50 off-season, longer in summer. Pick-up at your Nice hotel, the port or the station, drop-off at the exact address you choose.
About 120 kilometres separate central Nice from the village of Saint-Tropez. The standard route takes the A8 westbound to exit 36 (Le Muy), then the D25 towards Sainte-Maxime and the gulf road down to the port. Off-season, allow 1h50 door to door.
In July and August the final stretch between Sainte-Maxime and Saint-Tropez is the real bottleneck: it is a single coastal road and can add 45 minutes to an hour in the late afternoon. Our chauffeurs monitor traffic and, when it saves time, take the inland route via Grimaud and La Foux.
Distance: around 120 km from central Nice
Average duration: 1h50, up to 2h45 in high summer
Route: A8 westbound, exit 36 Le Muy, then D25 and D559
Tolls, fuel and waiting time included in the quoted fare
Pick-up points in Nice
We collect you at your hotel on the Promenade des Anglais or in the Carré d'Or, at Nice-Ville railway station, at Port Lympia, at a villa in Cimiez or Mont Boron, or at any address across the metropolitan area.
For early-morning or late-night departures the chauffeur confirms the meeting point the day before. The car comes with chilled water, chargers and wifi — welcome on a near two-hour drive.
Drop-off points around the Gulf of Saint-Tropez
We drop you at the old port and harbour office, Place des Lices, route des Salins, the Citadel, hotels in the village and on the peninsula, or straight at your villa in Ramatuelle, Gassin and La Croix-Valmer.
The Pampelonne beach road is served all year round. Give us the name of the beach club or villa at booking: some accesses are restricted in high season and we plan the route accordingly.
Private chauffeur, boat or train: what to choose
Saint-Tropez has neither a railway station nor a commercial airport. From Nice the train means a change at Saint-Raphaël followed by a bus or a sea shuttle, with your luggage at every step. The shuttle boat from Sainte-Maxime is pleasant but seasonal and weather-dependent.
A private transfer remains the only direct door-to-door link: one car, a fare fixed at booking, luggage handled for you and a drop-off at the exact address, peninsula included.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a transfer from Nice to Saint-Tropez?
Fares start at €242 from central Nice, tolls and fuel included. The exact amount depends on the vehicle (sedan, First Class, van, minibus) and on the precise addresses. It is confirmed before you validate the booking and does not change afterwards.
How long does the Nice to Saint-Tropez journey take?
Around 1h50 off-season. In July and August, or on a Saturday afternoon, expect 2h15 to 2h45 because of the single coastal road between Sainte-Maxime and Saint-Tropez.
Can you drive us straight to Pampelonne or Ramatuelle?
Yes. We serve the whole peninsula: Pampelonne beaches, Ramatuelle, Gassin, La Croix-Valmer and private villas. Just give the name of the beach club or property when booking.
Can the chauffeur stay at our disposal on site?
Yes. You can book an hourly or full-day disposal with free movement around the gulf. It is the most flexible option for lunch at Pampelonne followed by dinner in the village.
Are child seats and luggage space available?
Yes, baby seats and boosters are provided on request at no last-minute surcharge. The sedan takes 3 passengers and 3 suitcases, the van up to 7 passengers with their bags; flag bulky equipment at booking.
Should I book far in advance in summer?
For July, August and event weeks (Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez, the Grand Prix, the Cannes Film Festival) we recommend booking several weeks ahead: demand far exceeds the number of available cars.
