TAILORED · SEAMLESS · DISCREET
The Riviera Elite Standard
Nice Côte d’Azur Airport, right on the Bay of Angels
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.
At the western end of the Promenade des Anglais, the airport stretches across land partly reclaimed from the sea. France’s third-busiest airport connects the Riviera with the rest of the world and also welcomes many private jets and helicopters. For the next leg of your trip, our private driver service is ready: the moment you land, we drive you in a Mercedes-Benz to your address, anywhere on the Côte d’Azur.
-
Terminal 1 or Terminal 2, we are there to meet you
Early or late, your flight is tracked all the way to landing, and your pickup adjusts to it. Once your bags are in hand, look for the tablet with your name in the arrivals hall: your chauffeur will walk you to the vehicle.
-
The comfort of a new Mercedes-Benz
An E-Class or S-Class sedan, or a V-Class once the suitcases start to pile up: our vehicles are all latest-generation models, carefully prepared before you land. After hours in the air, you simply take your seat.
-
Your arrival stays strictly between us
Wearing a suit and tie, our chauffeurs greet a public figure, a business leader or a family on vacation with the same discretion. And when you arrange a guest’s arrival, their name and destination are never shared.
-
Private flights, by jet or by helicopter
A private flight sometimes lands ahead of schedule, so we always arrive early, and your vehicle is waiting as soon as formalities are done. For a jet, the Business Aviation Terminal team walks you to your chauffeur.
PRIVATE CHAUFFEUR SERVICES AT NICE AIRPORT

DESTINATIONS FROM THE AIRPORT
Every corner of the Riviera, from Nice Airport
Heading west, the highway runs to Antibes and Cannes, then on toward Saint-Tropez. Heading east, the Basse Corniche follows the bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer, passes the entrance to Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and Èze bord de mer, then reaches Monaco.
Farther east, Menton marks the Italian border, and we are happy to drive you on to San Remo and beyond. Inland, Saint-Paul-de-Vence is only about 35 minutes away, and in winter, up the Tinée Valley, the slopes of Auron and Isola 2000 are about two hours and 15 minutes from the terminal. Private jets also land at Cannes-Mandelieu, where your chauffeur is ready the moment you touch down. If your day has several stops, a single booking of hourly service covers them all.
GOOD TO KNOW
Any questions about your chauffeur at Nice Airport?
Terminal 1 or Terminal 2: how do I know where I’ll land?
It depends on your airline. Your flight number tells us, and if your flight ends up at the other terminal, your chauffeur will be waiting for you there.
Arriving at Nice Airport: taxi or private chauffeur?
At the taxi stand outside each terminal, there is often a line. A private chauffeur, booked ahead, already knows your flight and is waiting as you come out, wearing a suit and tie and holding a tablet with your name. You leave right away, in one of the newest Mercedes-Benz models, fresh from the factory.
Can I book a transfer for a guest?
Of course. Send us their name, phone number and flight number. We greet them as they come out, and you can reach us at any time, by phone or WhatsApp, if their plans change.
Can you pick me up at the last minute?
Yes. A quick call or WhatsApp message is all it takes; just tell us your terminal, and we arrange your pickup as fast as we can.
PERSONAL ASSISTANCE
Valentin, your single contact on arrival in Nice
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 Nice Airport, your chauffeur is there for the first flight of the morning, or in the middle of the night when a flight runs late.
The vehicle matters. The people who look after you matter more.
