Estimate Taxi Fares in Nice

Nice Taxi Fares Explained

Taxi fares in Nice are usually set by a meter, which starts with a base charge and adds a fee for each kilometer traveled. Local authorities regulate the prices, not the taxi companies themselves.

For a short ride in the city, you can expect a base fare between three and four euros, plus about two and a half to three euros for each extra kilometer you travel.

When going from Nice Airport to the city center, taxis charge a fixed rate instead of using the meter. This flat fare is thirty-two euros, not including extra charges for luggage or holidays.

Fares can sometimes be higher at night, on weekends, or for extra passengers. You can ask for an estimated maximum price by phone or via the official taxi app before your ride starts.

Public transport is much cheaper, but taxis offer direct, comfortable service. Always check the meter works and ask for a receipt, so you know you paid the correct, official fare.
