Nice dropoff GPS coordinates?
Ok, I must seriously suck at searching this forum..
I thought someone posted up the GPS coordinates of the drop off location in Nice, France. But most of the hits I get from the search function return "nice drop on the car"... sheesh.. Anyone know the post I am talking about ? Was it an ED journal ?

I would love GPS coordinates, but I never saw those posted. I did find where I believe their location to be on the map though. Those details are posted over in the October thread.
http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1171964 If anyone has actually dropped off there since mid-August... I would love to know from someone if that location is accurate. |

Ok.. well I street viewed around and did some detective work and it appears that the GPS coordinates of just before the gate are:
43.658629, 7.202043 I'll be there in 3 weeks to verify.

You don't need coordinates, you just go to Terminal 2 at the Nice Airport (found using Points of Interest). Follow the bus lane until you see the TT Transit hut.
They provide directions with pictures in the email after you email them to confirm your drop-off appointment. |

I have a flight scheduled for just after 9:00 AM. With the drop off not being open any earlier than 8:00 AM, I have almost no room for error. I'll be trying to scout the location the evening before just to be sure... and I will show up early of course... but I can't afford a 30 minute delay due to not knowing exactly where I need to be. The pictures they sent in the email (linked in the other thread) allowed me to figure out the route on Google maps to the point of the last turn they indicate. I am hoping with those pictures it will be really easy to spot their location. For reference, this is the link I put in the other thread, found by using their emailed pictures. It is to the same location that absolute references. https://goo.gl/maps/eXLzY |

It takes maybe 60 seconds to look up GPS coordinates (I have no reduced that to 5 seconds by posting them for everyone) There's no loss of time to use them now, and it may save you time in the end.. At the very least, it may reduce some peoples stress levels if they are running late to know that they have to coords which will take them right to the gate.

The vehicle drop-off process will take about 15-20 mins. You will need to have the packet of information provided to you at the beginning of your vehicle ED experience at the Welt. They will do a damage assessment of the vehicle then bring you inside to key in all of your paperwork. You will give them one key and need to remove all personal belongings from the car. Additionally, you can take the USB thumb drive with the European maps on them, the warning triangle, safety vests (or hide them like I did) and the first aid kit. There is a 5 min walk from the TT transit hut to Terminal 2 (Delta, Air France, Alitalia and other Sky Team Airlines) You will be cutting it EXTREMELY close and may not even be allowed to check-in if you have checked luggage. I would email them and see if they'd be willing to open early for you to drop off the car. |

My wife and I will have carry-on luggage only for our flight out of Nice. I asked about any earlier drop off at TT and they said there was no other alternatives to an 8:00 AM drop off. I'll be there a few minutes early regardless. |
