The Riviera Elite Standard
Your day, your chauffeur
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.
Three hours, a full day, an entire week: at every address, you step out, your chauffeur stays put until you are back, then sets off for the next one, as often as the day requires. A private driver reserved for you alone, for your visits, your meetings and your dinners, from Nice to Monaco and from Cannes to Saint-Paul-de-Vence.
-
The same face, morning and night
The person who greets you in the morning is the one who drives you back at night; within a few hours, your habits and the pace of your day are already familiar.
-
Your shopping stays on board
A boutique in Monte Carlo, another in Cannes: the bags ride in the trunk, and you walk on with your hands free.
-
A quiet place for your calls
Between two meetings in Sophia Antipolis or Monaco, the chauffeur parks nearby and waits; in the back seat, you make your calls undisturbed.
-
After dinner, the ride back
However late the dinner runs, your chauffeur waits until it ends and is right there when you leave: nobody has to wonder how to get home.
CHAUFFEUR BY THE HOUR
From a few hours to a whole stay
Online, simply choose the number of hours; for several days or several vehicles, Valentin arranges everything with you.

The Prince’s Palace before noon, lunch on a terrace facing the boats, then the shops of Monte Carlo: at each stop, the same chauffeur is waiting.
-
A ceremony in Èze, a reception on the coast: a sedan for the newlyweds, V-Class vehicles for all their loved ones, on hand until the celebration ends.
-
A week between Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Cannes and Monaco: Valentin plans each day with you, stop by stop.

For your landing in Nice, then for the flight home, a simple transfer, priced in advance, frames your hourly booking.
CLIENT REVIEWS
Loyal clients, five-star service
An agency and its teams, more than twenty people in all, traveled with us during Cannes Lions; another client’s loyalty now spans more than ten years: their Google reviews tell the whole story.
Authentic reviews on GoogleWe 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.
They have always been punctual, reliable, and available even at short notice. We highly recommend the company to anyone looking for a professional, exclusive, and comfortable travel experience at a very reasonable price.
OUR MERCEDES-BENZ FLEET
Sedan, V-Class or both
One or two people? Our sedans are all you need. When the team or the family grows, the V-Class van comes in, seating seven passengers. And when the day calls for it, the two models travel together: sedans for you and your guests, V-Class vehicles for your colleagues and the luggage. A full delegation? No trouble at all: we can arrange additional vehicles.

GOOD TO KNOW
A question about booking by the hour?
How do I book hourly service?
In the booking box, choose “Hourly service”, then the number of hours, three at minimum: the price appears right away, fixed in advance. For several days, write to us.
Can one chauffeur look after us for several days?
Yes: for a stay, a festival or a convention, Valentin organizes the days with you, and every morning you find the same chauffeur as the day before.
Can we have several vehicles at our disposal?
Yes: one or more sedans, one or more V-Class vehicles, each with its own chauffeur, depending on the size of the group and the amount of luggage; Valentin coordinates everything so that everyone arrives together.
An hourly chauffeur or a taxi?
With a taxi, every stop starts over: a new ride, sometimes a wait in line. Reserved by the hour, the chauffeur, impeccable in suit and tie, waits outside every address, and your private car stays the same all day long: a brand-new, latest-generation Mercedes-Benz.
PERSONAL ASSISTANCE
Your schedule, with Valentin
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. A day of visits, a week of meetings, a string of dinners: Valentin plans every hour with you, and adjusts along the way.
The vehicle matters. The people who look after you matter more.
