Nice airport 6:30 a.m. flight: Taxi at 4:00 a.m?

Is it difficult to hire a cab in the center of Nice to the Nice airport at 4:00 a.m.? Or should we check out of our in-town hotel and spend the last night in an airport hotel?

Thank You!

Contact your in-town hotel. I would expect it’s easy for them to arrange a taxi to pick you up at the hotel at 4 am.

It is only 4 miles from the main parts of Nice - a taxi will get you there in a trice.

Thank you everyone!
Decision made - We'll stay in town and grab a very early cab-

Before you have the taxi come that early, check what time the check-in desk for your airline. You may be thinking of going a bit too early, before there is anyone there to help you. Then again, maybe not, so it is best to check to be sure.

I was wondering if you need to get to a small airport 2 1/2 hours before a flight.

Thank you for all the info!

Definitely taking a later taxi and checking with the airline for the time the
check-in desk opens.

Yes, make sure you check what time the counter opens. Many Americans are obsessed with arriving early and then get there and no one's at work yet to help.
