Only a requested waiting charge and a EUR 4 booking fee may be added — no other supplement, including the usual fifth-passenger or luggage charges. Cannes taxis charge the same EUR 32 on a booking.

Before you leave for Nice Airport

From the centre to each way out
Where the bus leaves from

The tram towards the airport boards at Jean Médecin, signed "Aéroport Terminal 2." The 12+ bus boards at Masséna, signed "C. Commercial CAP 3000" — Albert 1er is not on this direction's route, so use Masséna instead.

Taxis to the airport

The EUR 32 flat fare runs the same leaving Nice-Centre as arriving — the arrêté prices the route "entre" the airport and the centre, not as a one-way trip. No booking is needed for this one, unlike the arrêté's Cannes and Antibes forfaits.
