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.
Along the Croisette, grand hotels and private beaches face the bay all the way to the steps of the Palais des Festivals. Right next door, Le Suquet, the oldest part of Cannes, climbs up to its castle and looks out over the whole city and the Lérins Islands. To enjoy every moment, rely on our private driver service: your Mercedes-Benz is waiting, and every journey is prepared with the care Cannes demands.
We follow your flight minute by minute, whether it lands at Nice Airport or at Cannes-Mandelieu, the airport for private flights. Your chauffeur times the pickup to your actual landing, greets you holding a tablet with your name, then drives you into Cannes while you relax in the back. Arriving by helicopter? We are there the moment you set foot in Cannes.
E-Class, S-Class or V-Class: every vehicle in our fleet is brand new, of the latest generation, and meticulously prepared before each pickup. For a premiere, a gala evening or a business lunch, you always step out of an impeccable vehicle.
During the Film Festival, photographers watch every arrival outside the Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic, the Carlton Cannes or the Hôtel Martinez. Your chauffeur agrees with you on the right moment and the right entrance, then keeps out of sight until you return. Nothing about your schedule or your guests ever leaks.
You cannot stop just anywhere on the Croisette, and during the Festival a security perimeter surrounds the Palais. We know the right places to pull over and tell you in advance where your chauffeur will meet you. For dinner in Le Suquet, you are dropped off a few steps from your table.
For a ride from one address to another, a transfer comes at a fixed price, confirmed when you book. When your appointments run back to back, hourly service keeps one chauffeur and one Mercedes-Benz at your side for a few hours, a day or the whole week.
A business day in Cannes rarely goes exactly to plan. While a session keeps you at the Palais des Festivals or lunch on the Croisette runs long, your chauffeur waits nearby and meets you the moment you are ready.
Book by the hourFor a wedding in Cannes, we provide as many vehicles as your guests need, from their hotel to the town hall, then on to the reception. A single contact coordinates all your chauffeurs and can be reached at any hour. Every guest is driven with the same care as the newlyweds.
Plan your weddingAt the foot of Le Suquet, steps from the Palais, the Vieux Port welcomes yachts and sailboats right in the heart of town, while Port Canto sits at the far end of the Croisette. Every September, both marinas host the Cannes Yachting Festival. Owners, guests and crews are driven there from the airports, hotels or other marinas on the Riviera.
Get your priceWhether you are arriving or leaving, your transfer between Nice Airport and Cannes is priced in advance, whatever the road conditions, and the same goes for Cannes-Mandelieu. Without traffic, allow about 45 minutes from Nice. For your departure, we suggest the ideal pickup time so you arrive at the airport relaxed.
Book your airport transferAn airport transfer from Nice, a full festival week, a last-minute request: on Google, our clients describe what traveling with us was like. Punctuality comes up in most of their reviews; others mention our chauffeurs’ attire or how smoothly several vehicles were coordinated.
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.

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.
For a conference delegation or a family with plenty of suitcases, nothing beats the V-Class: it seats up to seven passengers, with plenty of room in the back. The E-Class is perfect for business meetings and transfers, while the S-Class shines on premiere nights.
After a day on the beaches of the Croisette or an afternoon of shopping on Rue d’Antibes, you return to a vehicle that is already cool, with cold drinks ready in the onboard refrigerator. Wi-Fi and phone chargers are at your disposal for the whole ride.
Your chauffeur handles your bags, whether they come from the beach or the boutiques. On request, a bottle of champagne can be waiting on board, for an additional charge. Baby seats, child seats and boosters can also be provided whenever you need them.
The Cannes Film Festival is only the most famous of them: all year round, the Palais des Festivals hosts international trade shows and conferences.
The world of cinema gathers on the Croisette for screenings, red carpets and private parties. Your chauffeur meets you as the screenings let out and takes you from one party to the next, however late the night runs.
The biggest names in advertising and creativity come to Cannes for a week of talks and awards. We move entire teams in several vehicles, from the first meetings of the morning to the parties on the beach.
MIPIM brings together the real estate industry, MIPCOM the television and content business. Between stands, meetings and business dinners, your chauffeur remains at your disposal all day.
ILTM brings luxury travel professionals from all over the world to Cannes. We handle their airport transfers, then their trips between the hotels and the Palais.
Fashion houses, hotel groups, convention centers: here are some of our references. Other clients, just as loyal, prefer to keep their names private, and we respect that.
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 to Cannes
From the terminal to the Croisette, at a fixed price.
Cannes-Mandelieu transfer
The closest airport to Cannes for private flights.
Antibes private chauffeur
Old Antibes and Juan-les-Pins, a short drive from Cannes.
Saint-Tropez chauffeur
A day trip from Cannes, with the same chauffeur.
Close to the Croisette, the hilltop village of Mougins, known for its restaurants, overlooks the hills inland from Cannes. Farther west, the Corniche d’Or follows the red rocks of the Esterel from Théoule-sur-Mer onward.
Beyond the Esterel, Saint-Tropez is best enjoyed over a full day: the one road into town is often busy, but all you have to do is take in the scenery. In the other direction, Antibes and Juan-les-Pins are right next door, and the highway gets you to Monaco quickly. To string several stops together, hourly service saves you from booking each trip separately.
On a scheduled flight, you will land at Nice Côte d’Azur Airport, at Terminal 1 or Terminal 2. On a private flight, you can choose between the Business Aviation Terminal in Nice and Cannes-Mandelieu, which handles private aviation only and sits right on the edge of Cannes. Whichever airport you choose, we meet you on arrival.
The streets around the Palais are partly closed to vehicles and the Croisette is very busy, so it is best to be driven by your chauffeur, who holds all the required access permits. You are dropped off as close as possible to your entrance, and picked up at the agreed spot as soon as you call.
Boats to Sainte-Marguerite and Saint-Honorat leave from the Vieux Port. We drop you off in time for your crossing and pick you up on the quay when you return.
Taxis wait at the stands for their next ride. A private chauffeur booked for the day stays at your disposal between appointments, all along the Croisette and around the Palais des Festivals, always formally attired in suit and tie, at the wheel of a latest-generation Mercedes-Benz, brand-new.
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 Cannes, it shows in the details: a chauffeur ready to take you to the Palais as soon as the doors open, and still there after the last screening.
The vehicle matters. The people who look after you matter more.
