Public transport can suit independent travellers who are comfortable checking departures, connections and luggage arrangements. Services vary, so check the latest information with the airport or transport provider before setting out.

A hire car gives you flexibility for exploring Cannes, the coast and inland villages. It suits travellers planning several stops, but consider parking at your accommodation and in central Cannes before booking.

Booking a private transfer



After collecting your luggage, go to the agreed meeting point in arrivals. Have your booking details, accommodation address and a working mobile phone ready, and check the instructions supplied with your reservation.

Add your flight details when booking so the driver can monitor delays or changes. If your flight is late, follow the provider’s instructions and contact them using the supplied number rather than arranging a separate journey immediately.

Tell the provider about large cases, sports equipment or other unusual luggage in advance. Request child or infant car seats when booking, and provide the children’s ages so the correct arrangements can be made.
