RIVIERA ELITE DRIVER
Riviera Elite Driver provides licensed and insured private chauffeur service across Cannes, Nice, Monaco, Saint-Tropez and the French Riviera. Our vehicles and chauffeurs operate with the professional authorisations required for private passenger transport and are covered by the appropriate insurance for chauffeur operations. Compliance, safety and passenger protection are treated as part of the service itself. Our bilingual chauffeurs work with a regularly renewed Mercedes-Benz fleet and a simple standard: be on time, know the details and adapt when plans change.
Our chauffeurs regularly work with executives, private families, VIP guests and high-profile events. They know when to be present, when to step back, and that conversations, habits and travel plans remain private.
Pickup instructions, terminal details, routing, timing and special requests are checked before the service. If plans change, your chauffeur adjusts.
Our fleet is regularly renewed with latest-generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class, V-Class and S-Class models. We choose them for rear-seat comfort, quiet cabins, useful technology and immaculate presentation.

Whether you are arriving at Nice Airport, leaving a palace hotel in Cannes, traveling from a villa in Saint-Tropez or continuing to Monaco, your chauffeur plans the journey around your schedule. Riviera Elite Driver provides private chauffeur service across the French Riviera, serving palace hotels, private residences, marinas, restaurants, airports and event venues.
Riviera Elite Driver was founded in 2016 by Valentin Sassi, after a career in tourism, luxury hospitality and guest service on the French Riviera. His experience in five-star hotels and Palaces in Cannes shaped a simple idea from the outset: chauffeur service should be delivered with the same care, discretion and attention to detail as luxury hospitality.
What began as an independent operation grew through recommendations from hotels, local partners and returning clients into a dedicated team of professional chauffeurs, without losing the personal approach of the early years.
Since 2023, Valentin has focused entirely on client relations and service coordination, personally overseeing each request from the first message to the final journey.
Our team remains available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to coordinate chauffeur services and assist clients throughout their journey.
The vehicle matters. The people behind the service matter more.
