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.
From Nice Airport, the peaks look close enough to touch. Then the coast gives way to the Tinée valley and the final climb to the resort. A mountain transfer calls for more than a pickup time: the number of bags, the skis, snowboards and other gear, the exact address in the resort and the weather on the day all count. Your private driver plans for each of them, in a Mercedes-Benz equipped for the season.
Your flight number, a meeting point and a clear plan for the road ahead: everything is settled before you land. A family arriving with skis, boards and bags walks out of the terminal with nothing left to organize.
Two people traveling light and six guests with their own equipment do not need the same vehicle. Tell us how many passengers and suitcases are coming, along with any skis, snowboards or other equipment, and we confirm the right capacity before the journey.
In winter, our vehicles are equipped for mountain roads. Before each departure, we check the road conditions and set the timing accordingly: on the climb, the weather has the last word, whatever the timetable says.
The drive back to Nice Airport is timed backward from your flight, allowing for the season and the road. An early checkout, a busy holiday weekend, a stop on the coast on the way down: the pickup is settled in advance.
A direct transfer, or a chauffeur for a fuller itinerary: most journeys start at Nice Airport, but Cannes, Antibes, Monaco or any Riviera address can be your starting point. We drive to Isola 2000 all year round, not only when the lifts are running.
When the snow has gone, Isola 2000 remains a mountain destination. We arrange summer transfers, private days in the mountains and the journey back to the coast, with timing suited to the season and to what you have planned.
Plan a summer journeyIn winter, the luggage often takes more room than the passengers: that is when the V-Class makes all the difference. For a family stay or guests arriving on different flights, tell us who and what is traveling, and we plan each transfer around it.
Discuss your ski tripLeaving a hotel, a villa or a private address? Your chauffeur collects you in Cannes, Antibes, Monaco or anywhere along the coast, with the departure time and the vehicle chosen for the whole road up to the resort.
Arrange a Riviera departureThe natural start of a ski holiday when you fly in. Your chauffeur keeps track of your flight, meets you at Nice Côte d’Azur Airport, loads your luggage and equipment, and takes you straight up to your chalet, residence or hotel in the resort.
Plan your airport transferClients tell it in their own words on Google: an arrival from Nice Airport, more than ten years of regular transfers, a request met at the last minute.
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.
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.
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.
I can’t recommend this driver highly enough! From start to finish, the service is absolutely first-class. He is incredibly reliable, always punctual, and goes above and beyond to make every journey smooth and stress-free.
The cars are always spotless and comfortable, and the level of service is outstanding. You can tell that he genuinely cares about his customers and takes great pride in what he does.
If you’re looking for a professional, trustworthy and friendly driver on the French Riviera, look no further. Highly recommended — 5 stars without hesitation!

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.
The right vehicle depends on the passengers, the luggage and the conditions. The V-Class, for up to seven passengers, suits families and trips with plenty of equipment; an E-Class or an S-Class works for a couple traveling light, when the season allows. Either way, we confirm the choice before departure.
Before the long climb, your vehicle is ready: warm in winter, cool in summer, with water on board and chargers for the whole drive. On the way to Isola 2000, comfort is not a luxury for its own sake; it is room to settle in after a flight, and knowing that every practical detail has already been handled.
Your chauffeur loads suitcases, skis, snowboards and boot bags, and baby seats, child seats or boosters can be arranged ahead of time. Mention any bulky equipment when you book, from long ski bags to snowboards: it changes the choice of vehicle. Winter equipment prepares the vehicle for the road; it cannot overrule a closure or a severe storm.
The road is always the same; the landing time, the weather and the final address never are. These are the four moments we watch most closely.
A scheduled flight, a private jet, a family with oversized equipment: not everyone leaves the airport the same way. We confirm your arrival and everything to be loaded before your chauffeur sets off.
The drive up the valley and the last bends after Isola village need room for the unexpected. In winter, we check the roads before setting off, and we never plan the return on a summer journey time.
“Isola 2000” is not an address. The name of your residence, chalet or hotel and a drop-off point agreed in advance spare you a search, luggage in hand, at the end of the climb.
In the warmer months, the resort changes pace. A hiking holiday, a family escape or a day in the mountains means different bags and different hours, and the same care on the way up and on the way back.
Hotel groups, international brands, private clients: on the coast, they have trusted us for years. The same care goes into a longer, more seasonal journey up to Isola 2000.
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.

Short guides to the airports and places of the Riviera, written from the driver’s seat.
Most transfers leave from Nice Airport, but yours may just as well begin at a hotel in Cannes, a villa in Antibes, a residence in Monaco or anywhere else on the coast. Tell us where you will be, how much equipment is coming with you and whether the return must connect with a flight.
Yes, in every season: in winter for skiing and snowboarding, the rest of the year for hiking and family holidays. Give us your dates and we take care of the rest.
Yes. When you book, tell us everything that is traveling with you: skis, snowboards, boot bags or any other equipment. We check the space actually available and, if needed, suggest a V-Class or a second vehicle.
Before every winter departure, we check the road conditions and adjust the departure time. If the road is closed, we agree on a new time with you as soon as it reopens, and keep you posted by phone or WhatsApp.
Yes. Send us your flight time and your address in the resort. We set the pickup from the flight, keeping more margin in winter, so you reach Nice Airport with time to spare.
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.
For Isola 2000, it means choosing a vehicle with room for all your equipment, knowing the Tinée valley in every kind of weather, and planning your return so the drive to the airport is never a race.
The vehicle matters. The people who look after you matter more.
