Professional driver
Private chauffeur in Cannes
10 chauffeured vehicles, from an airport transfer to a full day at your disposal. Punctual, discreet, and one point of contact throughout.
Two formats
How it works
Transfer
Firm price, door to door
Nice airport, Cannes station, the Monaco heliport or your villa. Meet and greet in arrivals with a name board, luggage handled, live flight tracking. A delay never triggers a supplement.
Hourly hire
The chauffeur stays with you
By the hour or by the day, with a four-hour minimum. For back-to-back meetings, evenings on the Croisette, or a full day between Cannes, Monaco and Saint-Tropez.
The journeys
What we are asked for most
Nice airport
Terminal 1, terminal 2 or private aviation. The most common run: this is where almost every client lands.
Monaco
Casino, Grand Prix, Yacht Show. Allow far more on those days: the principality closes in and access has to be earned.
Saint-Tropez
Off-season. Up to three hours on an August Saturday: we leave based on real traffic, not the theoretical schedule.
Routes
The runs we do most from Cannes
The times below are realistic outside rush hour. In May and August, allow more: on the Croisette, the difference between a good and a bad chauffeur is measured mostly in minutes lost.
Nice airport
Thirty minutes on the A8, forty in the late afternoon. Terminal 1, terminal 2 or private aviation. The chauffeur tracks your flight and waits in arrivals with a name board.
Monaco and Saint-Tropez
Fifty minutes to Monaco, an hour and a half to Saint-Tropez in summer, longer at weekends. For Saint-Tropez, hourly hire often costs less than two separate transfers.
Heliport and ports
Monaco heliport, Vieux Port, Port Canto, Port Vauban in Antibes. The chauffeur drops you at the pontoon and stays reachable for the return, even when the timing shifts at sea.
Cannes in season
Film Festival, Lions and Yachting Festival
These are the three weeks when a private chauffeur stops being a comfort and becomes a necessity. The Croisette goes to restricted traffic, parking disappears, and a drop-off outside the Palais des Festivals requires knowing which accesses are open at the hour you arrive.
Concretely, what we do during those periods: the car stays on hourly or evening hire rather than run by run, the chauffeur positions himself ahead of the drop-off points, and you get his direct number so you can call him as you come out, without going through us.
These dates book two months ahead. That is not a sales line: in May, every available chauffeur on the Riviera is taken.
Hourly and daily hire
When the chauffeur stays with you
A transfer answers one journey. Hourly hire answers a whole day. The chauffeur and the car are yours by the hour or by the day, with as many stops as you like.
The most common uses in Cannes: an evening where nobody wants to drive back, a day of meetings between Cannes, Sophia Antipolis and Monaco, a wedding, or a full stay where the car simply waits outside the villa. We coordinate those days with a day at sea or a villa when both are with us: one schedule, ours.
How many passengers, how many bags?
From one to seven people depending on the vehicle. Tell us the number of cases above all: it is almost always the luggage, not the headcount, that decides between an S-Class and a V-Class VIP.
Is the fare fixed?
Fixed and quoted before the journey. That matters during the big Cannes weeks: when the Palais des Festivals is running, an evening routinely stretches well past the scheduled hour. The fare is set on the service, not on the waiting, and you do not have to watch the clock on your way out.
What if my flight is late?
We track the flight number and the chauffeur shifts his arrival. A delayed aircraft is not billed as waiting time.
Frequently asked
What you should know
How much waiting time is included?
Sixty minutes after landing, at no extra cost. We track your flight number: the driver leaves when you land, not when you were supposed to.
How many passengers and bags?
From three to seven passengers depending on the vehicle, with matching luggage capacity. Beyond that we coordinate several cars on the same journey.
Is the price firm?
Yes for transfers: the price is given before departure and does not move. For hourly hire, additional hours and kilometres are stated up front.
What about the Film Festival?
It is the tightest week of the year: book several weeks ahead. Driving and parking on the Croisette becomes a profession in itself, and that is precisely when a chauffeur changes the day.
