Saint-Tropez is about 100 km from Nice and has no railway station. By public transport you need a train to Saint-Raphaël and then a ferry or a bus, and in summer the last stretch of road into Saint-Tropez can add an hour or more.
A Luxotica transfer takes you door to door: your chauffeur meets you inside the terminal at Nice Airport, or at your hotel in Nice, Cannes or Antibes, and drives you straight to your hotel or villa in Saint-Tropez, Ramatuelle or Gassin. The price is fixed and agreed in advance, so summer traffic does not change what you pay.
The road to Saint-Tropez is the longest airport transfer on the Riviera. These are the things that make it simple.
Your chauffeur tracks your flight and waits for you in the arrivals hall with a name board, then loads your luggage.
Whether the drive takes 1.5 hours in May or 3 hours on a Saturday in August, you pay the price agreed when you booked.
The Mercedes V-Class seats up to 7 passengers with 7 bags, so a family or group arrives together with everything.
Typical drive times outside peak traffic. In July and August and on summer weekends, allow more time.
About 100 km: 1.5 to 2 hours off-peak, often 2.5 hours or more in summer.

A day in Saint-Tropez from Nice or Cannes, with your chauffeur waiting.
By car, the fastest route from Nice to Saint-Tropez follows the A8 motorway west and then the roads of the Var down to the gulf. Without traffic the journey takes about 1.5 to 2 hours. In July and August, and on summer weekends, the final approach into Saint-Tropez is often congested, and the trip can take 2.5 to 3.5 hours or more.
There is no direct train: the nearest station is Saint-Raphaël-Valescure, about an hour from Nice-Ville, followed by a ferry from April to November or a bus to Saint-Tropez. A seasonal boat also runs from Nice port with one morning departure. These options suit light travellers with flexible plans; they are less practical with luggage, children, a fixed check-in time or a late flight.
Our advice for summer: leaving early in the morning or in the evening usually cuts the wait on the last stretch. Tell us your flight or your check-in time and we suggest the best departure. Our full guide compares every way to get from Nice to Saint-Tropez.
For the return, we suggest a pickup time based on your flight and the season, so you reach the airport with time to spare.
