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.
Pine-shaded lanes, villas tucked behind their hedges, the Grand-Hôtel at the tip of the cape, and two beaches everyone knows: Passable, looking across the bay of Villefranche, and Paloma, on the eastern shore. Between Nice and Monaco, the Cap has kept its calm. Our private drivers take care to preserve it: they know the peninsula by heart, arrive exactly when you expect them, and never intrude.
The name of your villa, the guests you receive, where you dine tonight: your chauffeur knows all of it, and no one else ever will.
Everything is settled with the person who books: you, your assistant, the house manager or a concierge. Where the vehicle can wait and the time of each pickup are agreed with them, once.
From Nice Airport to the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel, then back again when your stay ends: your chauffeur follows your flight, takes charge of the luggage and pulls up at the hotel entrance just as you are ready.
When your stay on the Cap lasts several weeks, keeping the same chauffeur matters: a familiar face for your children, your guests and the people who run the house, and a Mercedes-Benz ready whenever the day calls for one.
For many guests, the stay begins at Nice Airport, a short way along the coast. Then the days take shape: lunch in Beaulieu, an evening in Villefranche, dinner up in Èze village or in Monaco, and now and then a longer drive west to Antibes, Cannes or Saint-Tropez.
Guests arriving on different days, dinners out, a child to fetch from the beach: during a villa stay, your chauffeur takes care of the whole household’s comings and goings, with your habits already known.
Arrange a private stayVillefranche, Beaulieu and Èze are close by, and Monaco not much further. With hourly service, your chauffeur takes you from one to the next and waits in between, so a day of short outings never becomes a string of bookings.
Discuss your itineraryTerminal 1, Terminal 2 or the Business Aviation Terminal: your chauffeur follows the flight, welcomes you as you arrive, then takes the coast road to the Cap in the Mercedes-Benz you chose.
Plan your airport arrivalSome of our clients have been with us for more than ten years, and entrust us with their guests as well. On a peninsula like this one, we know of no better proof of discretion.
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.
An S-Class to arrive at the Grand-Hôtel, an E-Class for the drive to Nice Airport, a V-Class with room for up to seven when the whole family heads to the villa. Each is prepared before it sets out, and we can send several when your guests arrive together.
On the quiet roads of the Cap, our Mercedes-Benz go unnoticed. Inside, the temperature is set, the water chilled and the chargers ready before you take your seat.
Your chauffeur, in suit and tie, carries your luggage to the house. On request, Champagne or other drinks can be chilled for your arrival, and baby seats, child seats and boosters are fitted with advance notice.
Here the distances are short and the roads are calm. What counts is being there at the right moment, and knowing when to fade into the background.
The exact address and the person to let know on arrival are settled before your chauffeur sets off, so there is no hesitation outside the villa and no call from the road.
For guests of the Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel, we arrange the arrival from Nice, dinners along the coast and days out on the Riviera, always leaving from the hotel’s front door.
Its Belle Époque promenade, its marina and its restaurants lie just across the isthmus. A short drive there and back slips easily into hourly service.
When a yacht anchors in the bay, guests come ashore by tender. We agree the landing point with the crew, and your chauffeur is on the quay as the tender comes in.
A table with a view in Èze village, a day at the beach in Èze bord de mer: the two sides of Èze, just past Beaulieu. Up above, the old lanes are for walking only, so your chauffeur leaves you at the entrance to the old village and is waiting when you come back down.
Monaco is close enough for dinner and far enough to want a chauffeur for the drive home. The same chauffeur takes you there and brings you back to the Cap, however late.
The houses and hotels below have trusted us for several years. On Cap-Ferrat, where the best service is the kind you barely notice, that trust travels with us.
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.

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.
On Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, it means knowing every lane of the peninsula, respecting the calm of its villas, and never adding noise to your stay.
The vehicle matters. The people who look after you matter more.
