The distance from Cannes to Saint-Tropez is about 88 kilometers. The fastest route is usually the toll motorway A8, which passes by towns such as Cagnes-sur-Mer and Antibes. In normal traffic conditions, this journey takes about 1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours. For those who prefer a more scenic route, they can take the normal roads through towns and along the coast with beautiful views of the sea. However, this route will most likely take at least 2.5 - 3 hours.
During the busy summer months and during major events such as the Cannes Film Festival, travel time can increase by +1 hour due to traffic jams.

I had a small accident in Italy and was unable to take the train back to France. I got a quote and few hours later right on time the driver arrived. The drive was pleasant and relaxing. Once we got to my residence the driver helped me with my bags upstairs as I had crutches. Great experience. Professional. Would recommend

David (March 2025)
My husband and I have long wanted to see Saint-Tropez.
Recently I managed to make my plan come true. We went there for a day. Since we went not in the high season,
the road one way took only 1 hour and 20 minutes. In August they say it takes about 3 hours because of traffic jams.
We were taken by a ByCar driver in a Tesla S. A very comfortable and beautiful car, the driver was polite and experienced.
We also really liked the price for the trip.

Taking a taxi from Cannes to Saint-Tropez is a scenic and hassle-free way to reach the iconic coastal town. Taxis can be found at the main ranks in central Cannes or booked via phone/app. The journey typically takes between 1 hour 30 minutes and 2 hours 15 minutes, depending on traffic, and spans a distance of about 88 kilometers. The most common route includes the A8 motorway followed by D25/D559. Metered fares vary, but average between 280 and 350 euros. For added convenience, a pre-booked transfer may provide fixed pricing and a higher standard of service.
Since fares are calculated by the meter, the final price depends on road conditions and travel time. The following are approximate rates for common travel situations:
Here are two example trips with estimated costs to help you plan:
A. Departure at 11:00, 2 adults, 4 bags, 1 hour 45 minutes journey:
250 + 7 + 2 + 6 = 265€
B. Departure at 21:30, 4 adults, 5 bags, 2.5 hours trip with delays:
320 + 7 + 4 + 30 + 6 = 347€
While taxis offer convenience, keep the following advice in mind for your Cannes–St Tropez ride:
Located on the stunning Côte d’Azur not far from Cannes, Saint-Tropez is a vibrant and glamorous destination, best known for its world-famous film festival that attracts celebrities from across the globe. The most efficient and comfortable way to get there is by booking a private transfer from Cannes. You can choose the type of vehicle that best suits your needs — whether you're traveling alone, as a couple, or in a group, with or without large luggage. The price is fixed in advance and does not change based on your hotel location, the number of bags, or any flight delays.
A day before your trip, the driver will contact you directly, or we’ll provide you with their WhatsApp number for easy communication. On the day of arrival, your driver will be waiting for you at the airport arrivals area, holding a sign with your name for easy identification. All our vehicles come equipped with free Wi-Fi and bottled water, and child seats are available upon request — all of this is included in the transfer price at no extra charge.
You can choose the transfer option to St Tropez that best fits your needs and travel style. For those looking to keep costs low, our economy vehicles are a practical choice. Families may prefer a spacious car or van with room for everyone and their luggage. Traveling with a group? A minibus is a convenient and cost-effective solution. And for VIP guests, we offer premium-class vehicles that ensure maximum comfort and elegance.
If you are planning a journey from Cannes to St Tropez, you’ll find several transportation options available. However, the most hassle-free and dependable choice is a private transfer with a professional driver. Here’s why it stands out.
Transfer or taxi: Taxis on this route are generally more expensive than private transfers, and the final fare can rise due to various surcharges: night or weekend rates, multiple passengers or bags, traffic delays, or extra requests like child seats. A transfer, on the other hand, has a fixed price known in advance. For example, a standard class private transfer from Cannes to St Tropez starts at 170€, while a taxi may cost from 190€ upwards depending on conditions.
Bus or transfer: There is no direct bus line between Cannes and St Tropez. The journey typically requires at least one change in Saint-Raphaël. It’s affordable (around 5–10€), but slow — the total trip can take 3 to 4 hours. Buses don’t run at night, and you’ll still need a taxi from the St Tropez terminal to your final destination. If you’re traveling with heavy luggage or small kids, or arriving late, this option may be impractical compared to a direct transfer.
Train or transfer: Taking the train involves several steps. First, a regional train from Cannes to Saint-Raphaël-Valescure, then a bus or taxi onward to St Tropez. While the train fare starts from 12€, total travel time may exceed 2.5 hours, especially in peak season. You’ll also need to factor in taxi fares to and from stations. With a transfer, you enjoy direct, uninterrupted travel to your destination — no carrying bags between connections or waiting for schedules.
Helicopter or transfer: A luxury alternative for the bold is a helicopter flight from Cannes to St Tropez, which takes about 20 minutes and costs around 1100€ per person. While fast, this mode of travel has its drawbacks: limited baggage allowance, weather-related cancellations, and the need to arrange ground transport from the helipad in St Tropez to your hotel. Helicopters are rarely used for everyday travel and are mostly popular for events or high-end VIP transfers.
After landing at Cannes and collecting your luggage, proceed to the arrivals exit. Our driver will be waiting for you there with your name on a sign.
It may happen that due to the large concentration of passengers in the arrivals area, it will be difficult for you to find a driver. In this case, you just need to connect to the free wi-fi network that is available at the airport and write to the driver on WhatsApp. In any case, it is better to do this upon arrival, so that he knows that everything is according to plan. You tell us the flight number in advance, even when booking a transfer. This is necessary so that the driver has the opportunity to track its possible delay and arrive on time.
The transfer price already includes 1 hour of waiting after the plane lands. For additional time, as well as for stops during a trip to shops and restaurants, there will be an additional payment from 50€ to 90 € per hour, depending on the class of car. If you know that you may be delayed at the airport or are going to make stops along the way, warn the driver in advance to avoid additional costs and misunderstandings. If your plane is delayed by more than 1.5 hours, there is a possibility that you will be provided with another car (even of a different class), because the car you booked before may be send to another transfer.
Information about what kind of luggage you take on a trip is very important, since the class and size of the car, and therefore the price, will depend on the size and quantity of luggage. If you provide incorrect information when booking, there is a risk that your luggage will not fit and you will have to order an additional taxi or carry your luggage by hand. This will obviously cost much more than if a vehicle of the appropriate size, such as a van, SUV or passenger car with a large SW trunk, was initially selected.
Suitcase sizes: Almost all suitcases can be divided into 4 groups by size. Please indicate their size when booking your transfer: S: height 48-53 cm; width 32-36 cm; thickness 20-24 cm M: height 58-63 cm; width 37-41 cm; thickness 23-27 cm L: height 65-70 cm; width 42-47 cm; thickness 26-30 cm XL: height 72-80 cm; width 48-54 cm; thickness 29-33 cm
Other types of luggage: In addition to ordinary suitcases, tourists often take with them hand luggage, bags, backpacks, strollers, sports equipment, and so on. You must inform us about this luggage when booking, as otherwise there is a risk that part of your luggage will have to be carried on your lap or in the aisle, which is, among other things, prohibited by the rules of passenger transportation.
The main parameters for choosing a car are its price and comfort. Both parameters depend on your personal preferences, as well as, of course, the number of passengers, size and amount of luggage. Based on capacity and class, cars can be divided into the following categories.
Car capacity: A car. Body type can be sedan or SUV. These are, for example, Kia Rio, VW Golf, Mitsubishi Outlander, BMW X3, Mercedes E and S class. This type of car can comfortably accommodate up to 3 passengers, up to 3 M or L size suitcases, and some hand luggage. Van or minibus. This could be Renault Trafic, Ford Tourneo, Hyundai H1, Mercedes V class or similar. This type of car comfortably accommodates: groups of up to 7-8 people; suitcases in quantities of up to 6-10 pieces, depending on their size and the size of the trunk of the vehicle. Bus. For example, such as Mercedes Sprinter. It is designed to transport groups of up to 20 people, its trunk can accommodate up to 16-18 suitcases of various sizes, hand luggage and sports equipment. Or large buses designed to carry 40-50 passengers (it is better to take these for long-distance transfers, since a large bus cannot travel along all the streets of small cities, so sometimes it is easier to travel on several minibuses). We emphasize that for each transfer the car is selected individually.
Car class: The class of the car depends on the individual wishes of tourists and is selected for each individual transfer, taking into account the requirements of passengers. Economy class. This is the class with the lowest price and optimal level of comfort. The salon is usually simple and quite small. Examples include Volkswagen Golf or Ford Focus cars. Vans Fiat Scudо or Hyundai H1. Comfort class. This class is more expensive than economy class due to more pleasant and expensive materials in the decoration and a more comfortable interior in general. Examples of comfort class passenger cars: Volkswagen Passat or Toyota Camry. Example of comfort class minibuses: Renault Trafic and Volkswagen Multivan. Business Class. The comfort class is more expensive and the level of comfort in it is even higher. The interior capacity is larger, and it is made of quite expensive materials. An example of a passenger comfort class is the Mercedes E-Class, and an example of a comfort class minibus is the Mercedes Vito. Premium class. The most comfortable, spacious and expensive interior for the most demanding passengers with comfortable seats and various functions that will make the trip very pleasant. The representative of the premium class passenger car is the Mercedes S-Class, and the premium minibus is the Mercedes V-Class.
