Pickup instructions, terminal details, routing, timing and special requests are checked before the service. If plans change, your chauffeur adjusts.

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. Having worked in five-star hotels and Palaces in Cannes, Valentin moved into private transportation in 2015 with a simple idea: chauffeur service should be delivered with the same care and discretion he had learned in 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.
The vehicle matters. The people behind the service matter more.
