The Road There
From Nice Airport, the route follows the coast road (the Basse Corniche) past Nice harbour and Mont Boron, or the motorway to the Nice-Est exit, then down to the bay.
The streets of the old town narrow considerably close to the harbour. A chauffeur who already knows the layout reaches a given address without doubling back.
Arriving in Villefranche-sur-Mer
Vezzora drops you at your accommodation's address directly. The old town's steepest lanes are pedestrian-only, so the final stretch to a harbourside address may be a short walk from the nearest vehicle access point.
Villefranche is a regular cruise-ship tender port. Pickups from the tender pier are handled the same way as any other address, provided the ship name and arrival time are given when booking.
How Vezzora Transfers Work
- Your chauffeur contacts you the day before to confirm the meeting point and time, so please leave a real mobile number when booking.
- Every flight is tracked, and pickup adjusts to the actual landing time. The first 60 minutes of waiting are free, counted from your flight's scheduled arrival time.
- The Renault Trafic suits larger groups with extra luggage; the Mercedes V-Class suits couples, families and small groups.
- Weekend (+30%) and night (+20%) surcharges are shown in your quote before you book. The price is fixed once confirmed.
