Three steps, nothing to repeat
Pick-up, destination, date. The price appears before anyone asks for your name. That order is deliberate: you can compare before handing over your details.
Then you choose how to settle. Pay now, or register the card with no charge and pay after the journey. Either way the confirmed amount is the amount taken. Tolls, parking, fuel and child seats are already inside it.
One limit: online booking closes 24 hours before departure. Below that the screen switches to a call or a message, because the question stops being the price and becomes whether a car is free.
The last bus leaves earlier than you think
On this coast, arriving is easy. Leaving after 8 pm is the problem.
The express shuttle between the airport and Cannes runs direct on the motorway and takes 50 to 55 minutes. Inbound, it works. Outbound, the last departure from Cannes to the airport is 7.50 pm. On the Monaco side, the last coach leaves around 8.10 pm. A 10.30 pm flight has no direct public option left, in any season.
The coastal train holds on later: roughly every 15 minutes on weekdays from 5.50 am to 10 pm, then every 30 minutes until 11.30 pm, with service extended to 2 am on Sunday mornings. It is a sound answer when you travel light and both ends sit near a station.

When a chauffeur is the wrong answer
One traveller, no luggage, airport to central Nice: tram line 2 runs every 7 to 8 minutes and does the trip in under 30 minutes. Nothing on four wheels beats that, and we are not going to pretend otherwise.
The car wins back the moment there are suitcases, children, an address that sits on no line, a night arrival, or more than two of you. That is where a fixed fare is worth comparing: a metered taxi on the same route only tells you the total once you have arrived.
