Rome, the Colosseum and the Roman Forum

Rome was built on seven hills, on the banks of the Tiber. A Nice to Rome transfer takes a full day on the road, broken up with stops as you wish.

Discover Rome

The Colosseum

The Colosseum was completed in AD 80, under the emperor Titus. Between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators could watch gladiator fights and wild animal hunts there. It stands just east of the Roman Forum. Rome has another oddity: it holds a whole state within its walls, Vatican City.

The Pantheon and Trevi

The Pantheon carries the largest dome of the ancient world, 43 metres across. It is still the largest unreinforced concrete dome on Earth. A few streets away, the Trevi Fountain was finished in 1762. Custom has it that you toss a coin over your shoulder, back to the basin, to be sure of coming back to Rome.

Our chauffeur services in Rome

Getting here and away

From Nice Airport to Rome, the drive takes 7 h 55 min. The road follows the Italian coast to Genoa, then heads down into Tuscany. For the border, keep your identity papers in your bag. The fare, from €1,710, is fixed when you book. Let us know about your luggage when booking, and we choose the car to match.

A day on the road

For Rome, an early start is best. On the Ligurian motorway, the sea often appears between two tunnels. You decide on the stops with the chauffeur, lunch in Liguria, a coffee in Tuscany. For a family, the V-Class leaves room for legs as well as luggage.

The drive back to the coast

For the trip from Rome to Nice, the chauffeur arrives at your hotel at the agreed time. You reach Nice, Cannes or Monaco the same day, with no train or plane. After a pilgrimage, a holiday or a business stay, that is one less day to organise.

From Rome

Where to?

From Rome, we head back up the Italian coast to Menton, then Monaco and Nice. The fare is shown before you book.

Your questions

Frequently asked questions

How much is a transfer between Nice Airport and Rome?

The price is fixed, VAT included and per vehicle: €1,900 in an E-Class (1 to 3 passengers), €2,350 in a V-Class (up to 7 passengers) and €2,800 in an S-Class (1 to 2 passengers). From 1 November to the end of February, the winter rate brings it down (€1,710 in an E-Class). The price is shown before you book and does not change afterwards.

How long does it take from Nice Airport to Rome?

About 7 h 55 min to reach Rome (705 km), as a guide only: depending on the season and the time of day, the journey may take longer. Your chauffeur tracks your flight: if it is late, they wait for you and the waiting time is free.

Do you also leave from Cannes, Monaco or Antibes for Rome?

Yes. We leave from anywhere on the French Riviera, at the address you give us: hotel, villa, station or port. The fare for your trip is shown before you book.

Does a private driver from Nice to Rome make the trip in one go?

Not necessarily. You can stop on the way for a meal or a coffee, and you decide with the chauffeur.

Can you bring us back from Rome to Monaco after a stay?

Yes. We collect you from your hotel in Rome on the day and at the time you choose, and drop you at your address in Monaco.

Are your prices fixed?

Yes. The price is shown before you book, including VAT and per vehicle, and it does not change afterwards.

Do you provide child seats?

Yes: child car seats and booster seats. Just mention it when you book.

Can I cancel my booking?

Yes. Up to 6 hours before pick-up, you can cancel free of charge or change your booking yourself, from your booking page (and during the hour after a booking made later than that). After that, contact us directly and we will do our very best.

How do I pay?

Directly on the website, by card, when you book: your booking is confirmed straight away. You can also pay in the car, by card (American Express accepted) or in cash.

What is the difference between a private chauffeur (VTC) and a taxi?

A VTC (private-hire chauffeur) is booked in advance and its price is fixed when you book. A taxi can be taken without booking, at a rank or in the street, and its fare usually depends on the meter. Riviera Private Driver is a VTC service.
