Amsterdam to Nice,
the longest run we quote.
Nearly fourteen hours at the wheel and close to fourteen hundred kilometres. It is a two-day journey with a night on the way, and the car that collects you on the Côte d’Azur is the same one that left your street in Amsterdam.
Fourteen hundred kilometres, and no pretending otherwise.
Amsterdam to Nice is the full length of France plus the Low Countries on top. 1380 kilometres, 13h50 of pure driving, and a good deal more once rest, meals and the coastal traffic east of Cannes are counted. Anyone selling you this as a day trip has not driven it.
It still gets booked, week in and week out, and always for the same handful of reasons. Someone is moving south and the contents of a flat will not fit in a hold. A family is opening a house for the season. A crew is joining a boat at Antibes or Monaco. Or the people travelling simply want one car, one chauffeur and one price from the front door to the Promenade, with nothing to check in and nothing to collect at the other end.
Belgium and Luxembourg, the A31 through Lorraine, Burgundy and the A6 to Lyon, the A7 down the Rhône, then the A8 east past Fréjus and Cannes.
Time at the wheel only. Split across two days it is about eight hours and then six, each finishing at a reasonable hour.
The one-way figure for the whole car, all in. The overnight arrangement is added to it and confirmed in writing.
Everything on this route is quoted by a person, not by a form. Send dispatch your dates, both addresses and the number of travellers on WhatsApp, and a full itinerary with one price comes back.
How the two days are shaped.
The night usually lands in Burgundy or just past Lyon, which leaves a second day that ends in daylight.
Away after breakfast, through Antwerp and Brussels, across Luxembourg and down past Metz and Nancy into Burgundy.
Beaune, Dijon or the outskirts of Lyon. You pick the hotel; the chauffeur’s own room is already accounted for in the quote.
The Rhône valley to Orange and Aix, then the A8 through the Var. The landscape earns its reputation somewhere around Fréjus.
Down into Nice itself — a hotel on the Promenade des Anglais, a villa above Villefranche-sur-Mer, a berth at Port Vauban in Antibes, or an address in Cimiez.
One fixed amount per class, covering the car rather than the seat. At this length, rear space is the whole argument.
Two travellers who want to sleep through Burgundy should ask about the reclining rear seats of the Maybach across Europe. A household moving south wants the Van Class and its seven bags instead.
Where the car actually comes from.
We are an Amsterdam company. We keep no cars on the Côte d’Azur, no standby chauffeur at Terminal 2 and no office in Monaco. When you book Amsterdam to Nice, a car and a chauffeur leave the Netherlands and drive down to you — which is exactly what makes the journey worth the money when you have things to bring, and exactly what makes a short local hop a poor use of it.
So: if you need a transfer from Nice Côte d’Azur airport into Monaco and nothing else, book that locally. If your journey starts in the Netherlands, or you want one chauffeur and one car for a week on the coast, this is the page for you. Once we are there the car works by the hour like it does at home, and the Corniche roads, Antibes, Cannes and the principality are all inside an easy morning.
The same road, half an hour further east along the coast.
The other Mediterranean run, two hours short of the Côte d’Azur.
How long-haul bookings, overnight stops and border paperwork are handled.
The rates for the days after arrival, once the driving is done.
13h50 at the wheel over 1380 kilometres, which in practice means two days. Day one runs about eight hours to Burgundy, day two about six hours down the Rhône and along the A8. A single-day version exists on paper and we do not recommend it.
Per car, always. One traveller and three travellers pay the same, which is what makes the long routes competitive for a family or a small team. Business Class starts at €4720 one way, with the other classes priced above it for space rather than for status.
No. We are based in Amsterdam and every car on this route drives down from the Netherlands. That is honest rather than modest: it means the journey suits people starting in the Low Countries, and it means a short airport hop on the coast is better booked with someone local.
Yes, and on this coast it is the usual arrangement. Day rates with the same car and chauffeur cover Cannes, Antibes, the Corniche villages, Èze and Monaco without renegotiating anything. Dispatch quotes the whole block in advance, waiting days included.
All of it is inside the quote. The French motorway network is tolled for almost the entire journey and the total is substantial, which is precisely why we fold it into one figure rather than presenting a bill at the end. No card surcharge either.
