RIVIERA ELITE DRIVER
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 authorisations and are covered by the appropriate insurance for chauffeur operations. Compliance, safety and passenger protection are treated as part of the service itself.
Cannes-Mandelieu Airport is an official business and tourism aviation platform with FBO handling, passenger assistance and VIP and crew lounge facilities. Riviera Elite Driver prepares the ground journey specifically for private aviation, from the flight information through the onward programme.
Aircraft registration and flight number can be enough to begin preparation, while a fuller brief supports a more precise mission order. Early arrivals are anticipated and chauffeur presence is adapted.
When a handler is involved, the chauffeur coordinates with the FBO; when terminal staff are the relevant contact, communication follows that path. The passenger should experience one fluid handover.
Crew transport is frequent in private aviation. Their hotel, rest, return or onward timing can be organised separately from the passenger programme when the mission requires it.
The confirmed number of passengers and pieces of luggage determines the Mercedes-Benz plan. Several vehicles are used when one vehicle cannot accommodate the party correctly.
Experience with luxury hospitality, private clients and international brands brings a composed service standard to every Cannes-Mandelieu arrival.
These selected professional references have trusted Riviera Elite Driver with chauffeur assignments over several years. Their names are shown to reflect that long-standing confidence and the services genuinely provided.
Clients describe reliability, attentive coordination and service that endures over time — the foundation for a smooth private aviation arrival and onward programme.
We have used this service for many years at Cannes Lions and they are beyond professional, clean, safe, and above all unbelievably coordinated trying to move 20+ people around all day in multiple vehicles. We have a high standard for our business with clients and these guys deliver time and time again.
We have used them for over 10 years as our regular chauffeur service for airport transfers and various trips around the area, both for ourselves and for our guests.

Azur Property Care
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.
From Cannes-Mandelieu, passengers and crews can continue to Cannes, Monaco, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Antibes, Cap d’Antibes, Saint-Tropez, a palace, private villa, yacht or another Riviera destination, as a transfer or with a chauffeur kept available.
The chauffeur is positioned for a smooth welcome once passenger formalities are complete. Telephone and WhatsApp availability support changes, while the relevant FBO or terminal contact is used where necessary.
Prepare your flight arrivalContinue directly to Cannes, a Croisette hotel, villa, yacht or any confirmed Riviera destination. Passenger count, luggage and the actual address determine the vehicle and journey plan.
Calculate an onward transferThe chauffeur can remain after the first arrival transfer for appointments, hospitality, dinners and changing plans — for several hours, a full day or over multiple days.
Keep a chauffeur availablePassenger and crew schedules can be split, and several Mercedes-Benz vehicles coordinated for larger groups or heavy luggage. Each movement remains connected to the same operational brief.
Coordinate passengers and crew
The E-Class is well suited to airport transfers and executive travel, the V-Class gives families, crews and groups generous space for passengers and luggage, and the S-Class is our reference for the most discreet rear-seat experience. Every vehicle is prepared before service, and several vehicles can be coordinated when one is not enough.
Before pickup, the mission details are checked and the Mercedes-Benz cabin is prepared: temperature set, chilled water ready and charging options available. The objective is simple — the journey should feel composed from the moment the door opens.
Door assistance and luggage handling are part of the service. Champagne and other drinks can be arranged on request, while baby seats, child seats and boosters are available with advance notice.
The airport’s official FBO service includes assistance for passengers and luggage, VIP and crew lounge access and landside transport services. Riviera Elite Driver begins with confirmed mission information and continues through the passenger’s ground programme.
Handler details are useful when available, allowing the chauffeur to coordinate with the relevant FBO before the passenger is ready to continue.
The chauffeur presence is timed so the passenger can continue smoothly after the airport process, with direct communication available if the arrival changes.
Crew transport may follow a different timing and destination from the passengers. Those requirements are recorded as their own part of the mission.
From nearby Cannes to Monaco, Cap-Ferrat, Antibes or Saint-Tropez, the chauffeur programme follows the confirmed destination and the rest of the stay.
When a lunch moves, a meeting runs long or the next address changes, the chauffeur at disposal can adapt without restarting the ground organisation.
Flight followed, mission information gathered, appropriate airport contact reached, passenger and luggage capacity checked, crew movements separated where needed, and the onward programme understood. Together, these details keep the arrival composed and the onward journey fluid.
Continue towards the destinations most often connected with a private flight arrival, or prepare a different airport environment at Nice Côte d’Azur.
Commercial terminals and business aviation follow different arrival rhythms; the guide focuses on the details that make the pickup feel effortless.
Explore Nice AirportThe Croisette, Palais des Festivals, marinas and major event schedules, where precise timing shapes the chauffeur plan.

Explore Saint-TropezCannes-Mandelieu can begin a direct transfer or a longer ground programme to hotels, palaces, villas, yachts and private addresses across the Riviera. For a commercial flight or a different business aviation arrival at Nice, the service is prepared around that terminal environment.
Riviera Elite Driver was founded in 2016 by Valentin Sassi, following a career in tourism, luxury hospitality and guest service on the French Riviera. Private aviation service applies that hospitality experience to a precise ground mission.
Aircraft registration and flight number can be sufficient to start, but passenger names, luggage, FBO, contact details, crew requirements and the onward programme allow a more complete mission order. Telephone and WhatsApp support ongoing coordination.
Since 2023, Valentin has focused entirely on client relations and service coordination, personally overseeing requests and adapting the plan when the programme changes.
The team remains available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for Cannes-Mandelieu passenger transfers, crew transport, hourly service and multi-day chauffeur programmes across the Riviera.
The vehicle matters. The people behind the service matter more.
