Cannes hosts major events all year — the film festival in May, MIPIM in March, the Cannes Lions in June, the Cannes Yachting Festival in September. During those weeks access to the Croisette is controlled: give us your hotel or your badge and we arrange the drop-off at an authorised point.

How long does it take to get from Cannes-Mandelieu Airport to Cannes?

How much does a transfer between Cannes-Mandelieu Airport and Cannes cost?

Where does my chauffeur meet me at Cannes-Mandelieu Airport?
Once off the aircraft, follow the handling agent to the business aviation terminal. Your chauffeur is waiting at the exit, your name in plain sight. Luggage is loaded by the chauffeur and the car is parked as close as possible. If your FBO (handling agent) has a particular access arrangement, say so in the note to the chauffeur.
How do I get dropped off at the Palais des Festivals?
The Palais des Festivals et des Congrès in Cannes can be reached directly from Cannes-Mandelieu Airport. One thing to note: the venue’s car park has a 1,80 m height limit — no van can get in, so drop-off is in front of the entrance. Give the venue name when you book; the chauffeur knows the way in.
Can I be dropped at the Cannes cruise terminal?
Yes. Port de Cannes — quai Laubeuf, Quai Laubeuf, Vieux-Port: enter it as your arrival address and the price shown does not change. Allow plenty of time on a sailing day — access around a port is controlled as the ships come in.
How many passengers and suitcases can I bring?
Up to 3 passengers and 3 suitcases in Economy or Sedan, 6 in the First Class Van and 8 in the Standard Van. Flag skis, pushchairs or golf bags when you book. You are only shown the vehicles that take your group.
How much is a taxi from Cannes-Mandelieu Airport to Cannes?

Is there a shuttle or a bus from Cannes-Mandelieu Airport to Cannes?
Cannes-Mandelieu Airport is served by public transport: access by sea, from the Abri du Béal marina (variable). None of them drops you at an address: there is still a connection to make, then the walk to the door with your suitcases.

Can I book the return from Cannes to Cannes-Mandelieu Airport?
Yes. Add the return when you choose your vehicle, or make a separate booking from Cannes. Remember to set the pick-up early enough before your flight.
