RIVIERA ELITE DRIVER
TAILORED · SEAMLESS · DISCREET
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.
Cannes-Mandelieu receives business and private aviation only, jets and helicopters alike, on the western edge of Cannes. Its FBO, with lounges for guests and crews, keeps every arrival brief and discreet. As you walk out, your private driver is there, and the Croisette, the harbors and the villas of the hills are close by.
We follow the aircraft itself, not a timetable. Your chauffeur is in place before you land, even when the pilot makes up time on the way.
Once you land, the FBO team at Cannes-Mandelieu takes care of your formalities and your luggage. We settle the timing with them in advance, so the vehicle is at the door the moment you are through, and your bags go straight in.
Pilots and cabin crew often leave the airport well after their passengers. Their transfer to the hotel and their return for the next departure follow their own timing, in a separate vehicle whenever needed.
When you fly out, your chauffeur collects you from your villa, your hotel or the quay, luggage and all, and has you at the FBO in good time. Give us your departure slot and we plan the drive around it.
The Croisette is close at hand, Saint-Tropez is nearer from here than from Nice, and Monaco lies further east along the coast. From the FBO, your chauffeur takes you anywhere on the Riviera, for a single transfer or for as long as you need.
A business trip to Cannes is often short and full: a meeting, a lunch, a dinner, then the flight home. With hourly service, one chauffeur stays with you from the FBO back to the FBO.
Keep a chauffeur for the dayA family, a delegation, guests on their way to a yacht: we send as many Mercedes-Benz as the passengers and their luggage require, and a separate vehicle for the crew when their timing differs.
Coordinate passengers and crewAt a fixed price confirmed before you pay, your chauffeur drives you to a hotel on the Croisette, a villa in the hills or a yacht in the Vieux Port or Port Canto.
Calculate an onward transferYour chauffeur is waiting at the FBO exit as you come out. If plans change in the air, the crew or your assistant can reach us directly, by phone or WhatsApp.

Riviera Elite Driver provides a wonderful service. I have been using them for many years. Always on time, friendly with perfect service. Valentin even picked me up one time I really needed him even though I called in last minute. I strongly recommend!
Excellent service de chauffeur à Cannes! Nous avons fait appel à cette société de chauffeur privé à Cannes pour notre transfert depuis l’Aéroport de Nice et le service a été parfait! Chauffeur en costume et cravate, Mercedes Classe V 2026 impeccable! Je recommande vivement ce service de chauffeur sur la Côte d’Azur aussi bien pour Cannes que Monaco ou Saint-Tropez.
An S-Class for the main passenger, an E-Class for the short transfer to the Croisette, a V-Class for up to seven passengers, or for the crew and their bags. For a larger party, several vehicles leave the FBO together.
You step from one private cabin into another: quiet and cool, with water kept cold on board and Wi-Fi for whatever the day still holds.
Your chauffeur, in a suit and tie, takes your luggage from the FBO team. On request, Champagne or another drink is on board for the drive, and baby seats, child seats and boosters simply need to be requested when you book.
At Cannes-Mandelieu, the aircraft, the FBO and your vehicle are never far apart. We take over at the FBO door and stay with you for the rest of your visit, including the busiest weeks of the Cannes calendar.
Tell us which FBO team is expecting you and your chauffeur speaks with them before you land; between their door and our vehicle, there is barely a pause.
Formalities at a business aviation airport are brief, and your chauffeur times the pickup to match: no waiting on either side.
After a long duty day, the crew want the hotel and nothing else. We take them straight there, then back to the FBO well before the next departure.
During the big Cannes weeks, private jets and helicopters pour into Cannes-Mandelieu and the roads into town fill up. We plan each drive to the Croisette around the traffic and the closures of the day.
A return flight brought forward, a meeting that ends early: with a chauffeur at your disposal, the day adjusts, drive back to the FBO included, without a new booking.
In private aviation, names are rarely spoken. The only ones you will see here are our professional references, who have trusted us for several years; our private clients remain unnamed.
For several years, these partners and professional references have relied on Riviera Elite Driver for their private chauffeur needs. Their presence here is a testament to a lasting relationship of trust, built on services we have genuinely delivered.
Nice Airport if your aircraft lands there instead, Cannes for the days that follow, Saint-Tropez for the summer: three guides for what comes next.
Explore Nice Airport
Its Business Aviation Terminal receives private flights too, alongside Terminals 1 and 2: what changes for your arrival.
Explore Cannes
The Croisette, the Palais des Festivals and the two marinas, a few miles from the FBO.
Explore Saint-Tropez
Closer from here than from Nice: the villas, the beaches of Pampelonne, and how to plan around the single road onto the peninsula.
Many stays that begin here never go far: a hotel on the Croisette, a yacht in the harbor, a villa in the hills of Cannes or Mougins. Others head west to Saint-Tropez, or east to Antibes, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and Monaco. And if your aircraft lands at Nice instead, we know its Business Aviation Terminal just as well.
Nothing for you. Let us know as soon as the airport changes: your chauffeur meets you at the Business Aviation Terminal in Nice instead, and we allow for the longer drive to Cannes. The same goes if you land by helicopter in Cannes, Saint-Tropez or Monaco.
Yes. Send us the crew’s names and timings with the flight details: they travel in their own vehicle, on their own schedule, whether they are staying in Cannes or flying out again the same day.
Yes. Give us your departure slot and the FBO you are flying from. We work back from the slot, allowing extra time on festival days, so you reach the FBO without rushing.
Call us or send a WhatsApp message: even at short notice, we do everything we can to have a chauffeur at the FBO when you land. Our team is available 24 hours a day.
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.
At Cannes-Mandelieu, it means speaking with the FBO before you land, looking after the crew as well as the passengers, and being there when a flight lands early.
The vehicle matters. The people who look after you matter more.
