The Riviera Elite Standard
The service starts before you step inside
Riviera Elite Driver provides a licensed and insured private chauffeur service operated in accordance with the professional requirements for private passenger transport. Our vehicles and chauffeurs hold the required professional authorizations and are covered by the appropriate insurance for chauffeur operations. Compliance, safety and the protection of our clients are integral to our standards.
On the French Riviera, the finest addresses are rarely within walking distance of one another, and a single stay often spans several towns. Our private driver service makes getting around effortless: at the agreed time, your chauffeur and a Mercedes-Benz are waiting outside your hotel or as you leave dinner.
-
At the airport, a welcome timed to your flight
We track your flight from takeoff to landing. As soon as you come through arrivals, your chauffeur meets you, handles your luggage and drives you to your destination.
-
New Mercedes-Benz vehicles, always immaculate
We drive nothing but new Mercedes-Benz models of the latest generation. Before every departure, your vehicle is prepared inside and out. And when you travel as a group, with family or friends, opt for the V-Class, which seats up to seven.
-
Unfailing discretion
Executives, public figures and families trust us with their travel. Your addresses, your schedule and the names of your guests remain strictly confidential.
-
Saint-Tropez, Cannes, Antibes and Monaco
Every destination has its own access roads, pedestrian streets and peak days. Whether it’s the harbor in Saint-Tropez, the Croisette in Cannes, Port Vauban in Antibes or Casino Square in Monaco, our chauffeurs know where to drop you off and where to pick you up afterward.
PRIVATE CHAUFFEUR SERVICES ON THE RIVIERA
A private chauffeur who moves at your pace
For a one-way trip or a round trip, book a fixed-price transfer. If your day is packed, or you would rather keep a private car and a single chauffeur for your entire stay, choose our hourly service instead. Arranging travel for an executive, a family or your guests? Share the details once, and we handle everything from there.
-
All day long, your chauffeur goes where you go and waits while you are in meetings. A lunch that runs long, a sudden urge to head for the beach, a dinner planned at the last minute: you can change your plans without having to book again.
-
For your wedding, we welcome your guests as soon as they arrive, drive them to the ceremony and see them back to their hotel afterward. Whatever the size of your guest list, every vehicle is coordinated by the same person, so you always know who to call.
-
A few days between Saint-Tropez, Cannes, Antibes and Monaco? Send us your dates and addresses, and every ride is set well in advance. If anything changes along the way, a quick message is all it takes.
-
Whether you fly in on a scheduled flight or by private jet, we drive you from Nice Côte d’Azur Airport straight to your address. We also meet private flights at Cannes-Mandelieu and La Môle, near Saint-Tropez, and we are on hand when you arrive by helicopter. On the day you leave, we drop you off at your terminal at the time you set.

HIGHLIGHTS OF THE YEAR
Major events on the French Riviera

-
May
The Cannes Film Festival
During the Festival, the Croisette never empties, from the red carpet to private parties. We drive you from one engagement to the next, and your chauffeur stays on call until the very end of the night.
-
Early June
The Monaco Grand Prix
For one long weekend, the streets of the Principality become a racetrack. We get you as near as the closures allow to your hotel, your yacht or your hospitality suite, then take you back to wherever you are staying on the coast.
-
July
Jazz à Juan
In July, jazz takes over Juan-les-Pins, with open-air concerts in the Pinède, just steps from the sea. When the last set ends, your chauffeur is at the spot you agreed on, ready to drive you back to Antibes or elsewhere on the coast.
-
Late September
Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez
Every fall, the Gulf of Saint-Tropez fills with sails, from classic sailboats to large modern racing yachts. We take you to the harbor on race mornings and come back for you in the evening, after the receptions along the quays.

GETAWAYS AND LONG JOURNEYS
All over the French Riviera, and far beyond
Along the coast, many other stops are worth a detour: the bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer, the Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat peninsula or the hilltop village of Èze. Inland, too, there are hilltop villages, from Saint-Paul-de-Vence to Gourdon. In winter, we drive higher still, all the way up to the ski slopes of Isola 2000.
If your plans take you beyond the Riviera, there is no limit to how far we will drive you. We are just as happy to take you to Marseille or Barcelona as to Milan or Lake Como.

GOOD TO KNOW
Any questions about your private chauffeur?
Which towns on the French Riviera do you serve?
All of them. Saint-Tropez, Cannes, Antibes and Monaco are our main destinations, but we drive you anywhere on the coast and inland. For longer distances, to the rest of France, Italy or Spain, we will take you wherever you want to go.
Can you arrange transportation for an entire group?
Yes. For a seminar, a conference or corporate travel, we provide all the sedans and V-Class vehicles you need, and every transfer is handled by the same person, your single point of contact.
Why choose a private chauffeur over a taxi?
A taxi is hailed on the street or taken from a stand, one ride at a time. With a private chauffeur, everything is arranged in advance, starting with your price: your chauffeur is waiting in a suit and tie, behind the wheel of a brand-new, latest-generation Mercedes-Benz, and can stay with you all day, from one address to the next.
Do you work with yachts on the French Riviera?
Yes. We work with several yachts, particularly at the IYCA on Billionaires’ Quay in Port Vauban, Antibes. Owners, guests and crew members alike can count on us to get them to the harbors of Saint-Tropez, Cannes, Antibes or Monaco at the agreed time.
PERSONAL ASSISTANCE
From five-star hospitality to private chauffeur service
Valentin Sassi founded Riviera Elite Driver in 2016, after a career in tourism and luxury hospitality on the French Riviera. In the five-star hotels and Palaces of Cannes, he learned what great hospitality demands: attention to detail, discretion and the art of anticipation. These qualities have become his signature.
At first the only one behind the wheel, he earned the trust of hotels, partners and loyal clients, then brought together a team of professional chauffeurs who share his vision of the craft.
Since 2023, he has devoted himself entirely to his clients: he personally organizes every journey and coordinates your chauffeurs.
Day and night, seven days a week, the whole team is just a call away. In Saint-Tropez, Cannes, Antibes or Monaco, a single phone number is enough to arrange everything.
The vehicle matters. The people who look after you matter more.
