Nice → Marseille in practice
Another question? The help centre answers the most common ones.
How long does the Nice — Marseille journey take?
About 2 h 25 for 204 km via A8 then A52, measured on the driving route excluding traffic. At peak times and in season, allow extra time — the price itself does not change.
How much does a Nice — Marseille transfer cost?
From €440 including tax in the Economy class, for the whole vehicle and not per person. The Sedan, the First Class Van and the Standard Van each have their own price, shown before payment. The amount includes VAT, tolls, luggage and the free waiting time; it does not change once confirmed, whatever the traffic and the time of day.
Can I book from Marseille Airport?
Yes. Marseille Airport is about 20 km from Marseille as the crow flies. Give us the terminal when you book: your chauffeur tracks the flight and meets you in arrivals, with 60 minutes of free waiting time after landing.
Can the chauffeur pick me up at Marseille train station?
Yes. Enter Marseille Saint-Charles train station as your pickup point: the price stays as displayed, and we track your train — if you are running late, the pickup time adjusts.
Does the price change if the route turns out longer than expected?
No. Over 204 km and about 2 h 25, the price is set before payment and does not move: neither traffic nor a detour forced by the road changes it. Tolls and fuel are already in it.
How much does a taxi from Nice to Marseille cost?
There is no flat taxi fare between two cities: the fare runs on the meter, at the rate set by the département, and you only know the total on arrival — over 204 km, two identical trips can differ widely depending on the hour and the traffic. Our transfer is from €440 incl. VAT for the whole vehicle: the amount is settled when you book, tolls, VAT and luggage included, and it does not move.
Is there a train between Nice and Marseille?
Both cities have a train station (Nice-Ville and Marseille Saint-Charles), and the train is still the cheapest way to travel light. It sets you down at the station, not at your address: you then have to find a taxi or a bus, and carry the cases yourself. A private transfer runs door to door, at the time you choose, early mornings and overnight included.
What happens if I am running late?
If you start from an airport or a train station, we track your flight or your train and the pick-up time adjusts. At an address, 15 minutes of waiting time are free.
