How it works
Unofficial transport touts operating near Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE) approach arriving passengers and offer private transfers to Monaco at prices that sound reasonable but are not regulated. The legitimate metered taxi flat fare from Nice Airport to Monaco is approximately €95 under French prefecture rules; unlicensed drivers frequently charge €300–500 for the same 22km journey once luggage is loaded and the car is moving. Drivers may claim the meter is broken or that Monaco requires a special surcharge.
