Private Chauffeur Cannes-Mandelieu Airport
TAILORED · SEAMLESS · DISCREET
The Riviera Elite Standard
Cannes-Mandelieu, an airport for private jets on the doorstep of Cannes
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.
West of Cannes, Cannes-Mandelieu Airport handles only business and private aviation, jets and helicopters alike. No crowds, no endless corridors: inside the terminal, a team welcomes you, and outside, your private driver is already waiting. The Croisette, the harbors and the hills of Cannes are close by, and so are your first meetings.
-
A chauffeur in place before you land
In private aviation, schedules shift: an earlier departure or a tailwind, and the aircraft lands ahead of time. That is why we follow your aircraft itself rather than a flight schedule, so your chauffeur always gets there before it does.
-
Escorted to your waiting Mercedes-Benz
The welcome team handles your formalities and your luggage, then walks you to your Mercedes-Benz, an S-Class or a V-Class depending on the number of passengers. Your chauffeur is ready the moment you step out.
-
The crew, on a schedule of its own
Pilots and cabin crew often leave the airport well after the passengers. We take them to their hotel, then bring them back to the airport before the next flight. For a crew change, each member has a pickup timed to their flight.
-
Departures handled with the same care
For your departure, your chauffeur picks you up from the hotel, your villa or the quay, then sees you to the airport at the agreed time, luggage included. Just give us your takeoff slot, and we take care of the rest, day or night.
CANNES-MANDELIEU AIRPORT TRANSFER
Transfers and hourly chauffeurs from Cannes-Mandelieu Airport
A transfer takes you by private car from the airport to your door, at a price you know before you set off. For a short, busy stay, a chauffeur booked by the hour stays with you until your departure, keeping your luggage on board between meetings.
-
A meeting on the Croisette, lunch on Cap d’Antibes, dinner in Monaco, then the return flight that same evening: the same chauffeur follows you all day and waits for you at every stop, before bringing you back to the airport in time for takeoff.
-
Your wedding is on the Riviera, and some guests travel by private jet? Each one is met on landing, here or in Nice for scheduled flights, and Valentin arranges every ride, from the airport to the celebration, then back for their departure.
-
Several yachts trust us with their owners, guests and crews. From the airport, the Vieux Port of Cannes and Port Canto are quick to reach: tell us your boat’s name, and your chauffeur heads straight for its quay, at a time usually set with the captain.
-
Enter your destination address and the price appears immediately, then stays fixed. If plans change in the air, your assistant can reach Valentin at any time, and your ride adjusts, whether you land earlier or later, or head for a different address.

For a larger group, we can arrange additional brand-new vehicles, one or more V-Class among them, all from the latest generation.

PART OF THE SERVICE
From the jet’s cabin to the back seat of your Mercedes-Benz
When you step in, the interior is already cool. On the way to the Croisette, you pick up your messages on the Wi-Fi where you left off in flight, while the chargers top up your phone. Bottles of chilled water wait for you in the onboard refrigerator, and for rainy days, umbrellas always travel with us.
Your luggage passes from the welcome team’s hands to your chauffeur’s. If your pet has flown in with you, it is welcome to ride along too; just let us know when you book. For young children, the right seat, from baby seat to booster, is installed before you land, on request.

SEASON BY SEASON
Cannes-Mandelieu for the Festival, the conferences and Saint-Tropez
Cannes’ biggest weeks also run through this airport. Here are the ones we prepare for most often, and the getaway it makes shorter.
-
Spring and fall
MIPIM and Cannes conferences
The trade shows at the Palais des Festivals draw visitors who prefer to fly in privately, from MIPIM in March to MIPCOM in October and MAPIC in November. From touchdown, your chauffeur drives you straight to the Palais, then follows you from one meeting to the next.
-
May
The Cannes Film Festival
During the Festival, private jets and helicopters flock to Cannes-Mandelieu, and some of the streets near the Palais close at set hours. Thanks to our authorizations for the Croisette, your chauffeur drops you off as close to the Palais as access allows, or right at your hotel.
-
June
Cannes Lions
Agencies, advertisers and guests arrive in numbers for the five days of Cannes Lions. Valentin coordinates several vehicles at once, each with its own itinerary, from the airport to the talks at the Palais, then on to the beach parties along the Croisette, until the last drop-off of the night.
-
Year-round
Saint-Tropez
For a stay on the gulf, landing at Cannes-Mandelieu shortens the drive. Your chauffeur takes the highway west, then one of the two roads into Saint-Tropez, ending at your hotel or the harbor. And if your jet leaves that same night, you are back at the airport in time for takeoff.
PROFESSIONAL REFERENCES

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.

NEARBY AND FARTHER AFIELD
Cannes, Saint-Tropez or Monaco, straight from Cannes-Mandelieu
Most stays that begin here go no farther than the neighborhood: a hotel on the Croisette, a yacht in the harbor, a house in the hills above Cannes or Mougins. Others head west to Saint-Tropez, or east to Antibes and Monaco. Right next to the airport, Mandelieu-la-Napoule, with its château by the water and its golf courses, and Théoule-sur-Mer, on the edge of the Esterel, are well worth a detour too.
For a first evening, Mougins and its restaurants are a short drive from the airport, with your chauffeur waiting throughout dinner. A little higher in the hills, Grasse and its perfume houses are worth a morning’s visit. And for a scheduled flight, the highway takes you to Nice Airport, bypassing central Cannes: your chauffeur gets you there at the right time for your departure.

GOOD TO KNOW
Any questions about your chauffeur at Cannes-Mandelieu Airport?
Our jet ends up landing in Nice: what changes?
Simply let us know about the change. Your chauffeur then waits for you at Nice’s Business Aviation Terminal instead, and we plan for the longer drive to Cannes.
Do you also look after the crew?
Yes. Send us the crew’s names and schedules along with the flight details: they travel in a separate vehicle, on their own schedule, whether they stay in Cannes or fly out the same day. For a longer stay, the crew can also keep a chauffeur at their disposal.
And for the flight out, will you drive us to Cannes-Mandelieu?
Yes. Give us your departure slot and we work out when to pick you up, with extra margin on festival days, so you arrive without rushing. Your chauffeur drops you off at the terminal, where the airport team takes over with your luggage.
Cannes-Mandelieu: taxi or private chauffeur?
A taxi means waiting for one, or calling one, once you are there. A private chauffeur is booked along with the flight: as you come out, the terminal team walks you over to your chauffeur, who waits in a suit and tie beside your brand-new Mercedes-Benz, one of the very latest models, picked to suit your luggage.
PERSONAL ASSISTANCE
Valentin, from landing to takeoff
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, Valentin agrees on timing with the airport team before you land, looks after the crew as closely as the passengers, and adapts when a flight touches down early.
The vehicle matters. The people who look after you matter more.
