The Riviera Elite Standard

The service starts before you step inside

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.

Discretion as standard

Executives, families, public figures and the guests of five-star hotels travel with us. Your conversations, your habits and your addresses are never shared, with anyone.

Everything checked before we set off

The pickup point, the terminal or the villa gate, the route and your requests are confirmed before your chauffeur leaves. If your plans change during the day, your chauffeur changes with them.

Latest-generation Mercedes-Benz

Every E-Class, V-Class and S-Class in our fleet is a recent model, chosen for the comfort of its rear seat and the quiet of its cabin, and prepared before each journey.

Local knowledge that matters

From the Croisette to the villas of Saint-Tropez, from the Business Aviation Terminal at Nice to the quays of Port Vauban, our chauffeurs know which entrance to use, where to wait and when to leave early.

Bespoke Chauffeur Services

A service built around your schedule

Book a single transfer at a fixed price, or keep your chauffeur for an afternoon, a day or your entire stay. If you are arranging travel for an executive, a family or guests, you give the details once and deal with one person until the last journey.

Airport & private aviation

Whether you land at Terminal 1, Terminal 2 or the Business Aviation Terminal of Nice Côte d’Azur Airport, or at Cannes-Mandelieu or La Môle on a private flight, your chauffeur follows the flight and meets you on arrival. Airport waiting time is included. For a private flight, we work directly with your assistant, your concierge or the FBO.

Book an airport transfer

Chauffeur at your disposal

By the hour, for the day or over several days, your chauffeur and Mercedes-Benz stay with you. For a day of meetings, a congress, lunch and an evening out, it is the simplest way to travel: no new booking between stops, and room for last-minute changes.

Book by the hour

Private Assistance

From five-star hospitality to private chauffeur service

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 who look after you matter more.
