Private Chauffeur Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat
TAILORED · SEAMLESS · DISCREET
The Riviera Elite Standard
Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, the calm of a peninsula set apart
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.
Between Villefranche-sur-Mer and Beaulieu-sur-Mer, the Cap-Ferrat peninsula has kept the quiet of its pine-lined lanes, about three quarters of an hour from Nice Airport. Its villas hide behind tall hedges, the Ephrussi de Rothschild gardens look out over the Mediterranean, and the Grand-Hôtel sits at the very tip of the cape. To take you there, we reserve a new Mercedes-Benz and a private driver for you, with the discretion the place calls for.
-
From Nice Airport to the Cap, along the coast
We track your flight. If you fly commercial, you meet your chauffeur in the arrivals hall, bags in hand; by private jet, the terminal team walks you to your chauffeur. Then the road hugs the coast, runs through Villefranche-sur-Mer and ends at your front door on the Cap.
-
A V-Class with room for the whole family
In summer, when you head to your villa with family, the V-Class takes everyone, up to seven passengers, along with the strollers and beach bags. For an evening for two, the S-Class or the E-Class is just right. We drive only the latest Mercedes-Benz models, all brand new.
-
Discretion that starts with the booking
Your chauffeur knows the name of your house, your guests and the table where you are dining tonight, and no one else will. Whether the booking comes from you, your assistant, the house manager or a concierge service, we deal only with the person who books.
-
From Passable Beach to La Paloma
On the sunset side, Passable Beach faces the bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer; on the sunrise side, La Paloma nestles in its sheltered cove. For a day by the water, you step out as close to the sand as possible, and your chauffeur returns for you at whatever time you name.
SAINT-JEAN-CAP-FERRAT PRIVATE CHAUFFEUR
A private chauffeur in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, for one ride or your whole stay
For a single ride, a transfer takes you from one address to another by private car, at a price agreed in advance. For a day, an evening or your entire stay on the Cap, an hourly chauffeur is the better choice, staying with you as long as you need.
-
When you spend several weeks on the Cap, we do everything we can so that the same chauffeur sees you through to the very end of your stay. That way, your children and guests get to know a familiar face, and a Mercedes-Benz is ready outside the house first thing every morning.
-
A ceremony on the Cap, guests staying from Beaulieu-sur-Mer to Villefranche-sur-Mer? Every guest is met in Nice as their flight lands, driven to the celebration and taken back at any hour of the night. Valentin coordinates every ride, from the first flight to the last departure.
-
When yachts lie at anchor in the bay of Villefranche-sur-Mer, their guests come ashore by tender. Give us the boat’s name and the expected time, often agreed on with the captain, and your chauffeur waits on the quay, takes care of the luggage and drives you anywhere along the coast.
-
Enter your address on the Cap in the booking form: the price appears instantly and stays the same, even when the drive through Nice takes longer. You can just as easily book by phone or through WhatsApp, and the ride back to the airport is set up the same way, at a fixed price too.

AROUND THE CAP
Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat and its neighbors, all the way to Monaco
Distances are short and the roads are quiet: what matters is arriving on time and knowing how to wait. Here are a few addresses, each within reach of an evening out.
-
From day one
Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat
At the tip of the cape, this Four Seasons welcomes its guests amid its gardens. Opened in 1908, it became the French Riviera’s first palace hotel in 2011. We meet its clients at Nice Airport and drop them off at the hotel entrance, then come back there to drive them to dinner along the coast or in Monaco.
-
By day
Èze village and Èze bord de mer
Just past Beaulieu-sur-Mer, Èze has two faces: the hilltop village, whose lanes are pedestrian-only, and the seafront, with its beach. In the village, you step out at the entrance to the old town, where your chauffeur awaits your return. At the top, the garden of Èze opens onto a vast view of the Mediterranean.
-
One evening
Beaulieu-sur-Mer
Its Belle Époque promenade, its harbor and its restaurants are a stone’s throw from the Cap, and a round trip fits easily into an evening, or into a day with your chauffeur. Facing the sea, Kérylos brings a house from ancient Greece back to life, and just to the east, Petite Afrique beach lies at the foot of the cliffs.
-
Until late
Monaco, for dinner or an evening out
Close enough for dinner, far enough to appreciate not driving back, Monaco is reached and left again with the same chauffeur, at whatever time you choose. In early June for the Grand Prix or late September for the Monaco Yacht Show, our clients from the Cap spend their days there too.
PROFESSIONAL REFERENCES
Experience serving hotels, luxury brands and major events
Great houses and prestigious hotels entrust their guests on the French Riviera to us, several of them for years now, and a few appear below. As for our private clients, we keep their names confidential. On the Cap, it is this discretion they value first.
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.

FROM EAST TO WEST
From Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat to Monaco, Nice or Cannes
To the east, Beaulieu-sur-Mer and Èze are close by, Monaco only a little farther; to the west, the coast takes you to Villefranche-sur-Mer, to Nice, then on to Antibes and Cannes. Saint-Tropez, farther still, is best kept for a long day with your chauffeur. Closer to the Cap, the old town of Villefranche-sur-Mer and its citadel make for a lovely stroll.
On the peninsula, the path that circles Pointe Saint-Hospice passes below its chapel and its great bronze statue of the Virgin; just across the bay, in Villefranche-sur-Mer, Jean Cocteau decorated the Chapelle Saint-Pierre on the harbor. A single morning is all it takes to see both, with your chauffeur taking you from one address to the next whenever you are ready.

GOOD TO KNOW
Any questions about your chauffeur in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat?
How long does it take to reach the Cap from Nice Airport?
Allow about 45 minutes along the coast road, which runs through Nice and then Villefranche-sur-Mer, and longer at rush hour or in high summer. For a departure, tell us your flight time and we will suggest when to leave the Cap.
Can our assistant or the villa manager book for us?
Of course. Whoever books becomes our contact for the whole stay, whether it is you, your assistant, the manager or a concierge: times, addresses and luggage are all arranged directly with them.
Do you also handle our guests’ departures to the airport?
Yes. Send us each guest’s flight: we set the departure time from the house or the hotel, allowing for the drive through Nice, and every guest gets their own pickup.
Taxi or private chauffeur for Cap-Ferrat: which should you choose?
At the airport, without a booking, you join the line for a taxi. A private chauffeur, booked before your flight, waits for you at the terminal exit in a suit and tie, holding a tablet with your name. A brand-new Mercedes-Benz from the latest generation then carries you on to the Cap, and the same vehicle can stay with you until evening.
PERSONAL ASSISTANCE
Valentin, your contact on the Cap
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 Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, your chauffeur knows every lane of the peninsula and respects the calm of your home.
The vehicle matters. The people who look after you matter more.
