Nice to Imperia private transfer with chauffeur
Imperia lies about 80 kilometres and 1 h 15 by road from Nice, along the A8 and Italian A10 via Ventimiglia. Transfert Prime drives you in a Mercedes with a chauffeur to your hotel, residence or the marina, with no connections.
The Nice – Imperia journey along the Ligurian corridor
The route takes the French A8 to the border after Menton, passes Ventimiglia and continues on the Italian A10, the Autostrada dei Fiori, through the Ligurian coast tunnels to the Imperia exit. Road routing calculations give about 80 kilometres and 1 h 15 without stops.
It is the shortest transalpine journey in our Italian range: after Bordighera and Ospedaletti, the motorway runs past Sanremo and then slows towards Arma di Taggia and Imperia. Traffic flows freely outside summer weekends, when the Ligurian roadside fills up from late morning.
Your chauffeur drops you at the exact address of your choice: a seafront hotel, a residence in the hills of Oneglia or the marina. For pedestrian-zone addresses, the set-down point is agreed at the nearest accessible spot.

Mercedes V-Class and S-Class with chauffeur for your Nice – Imperia transfers
Why a private chauffeur instead of train or bus
The Nice – Imperia train requires a change in Ventimiglia, and Italian stations often sit far from the hotels; the bus is slow and its schedules cut the day short. With luggage or children, every connection stretches a journey that needs only an hour and a quarter on the road.
A door-to-door private transfer removes connections and waiting: you leave at the chosen time and arrive directly at your address, without sharing the vehicle. It is the simplest option for a Sanremo and Imperia day trip, a stay on the Riviera dei Fiori or a cruise departure from the Ligurian coast.
The price is confirmed by quote before booking, with no meter and no traffic-related supplements. The vehicle is reserved for your group only, from one to seven passengers.
Which vehicle for a Nice – Imperia journey
The Mercedes V-Class seats up to 7 passengers with their belongings: the most practical choice for a family or small group. Check the luggage volume with us if you travel as seven with large cases.
A Mercedes S-Class can be proposed for one or two travellers, subject to availability. For a larger group, ask for several vans or a Mercedes Sprinter on quote.
Child seats, water on board and chargers are available on request at booking; mention your needs when requesting your quote.
Possible stops along the way
Sanremo is the natural stop between Nice and Imperia: market, casino or simply a coffee facing the promenade — the pause is planned at booking. Bordighera, Ospedaletti or the hilltop village of Cervo can also punctuate the journey.
Each additional stop — photo break, shop or quick visit — must be requested at booking so it can be included in the quote and the schedule. Without a request, the journey runs direct in about an hour and a quarter.
Nice – Imperia round trip
The day trip is the most popular formula over this short distance: an early start, a stop in Sanremo, lunch in Imperia and a late-afternoon return. Booking both journeys together guarantees the same level of service in both directions.
For a longer stay, give your dates and accommodation address: we arrange the return at the agreed time, including early morning for a flight out of Nice.
