Private Driver
in Cannes

Cannes works on a calendar rather than a clock. Outside the festivals it is a small seaside town you can cross on foot; during MIPIM, the film festival or Cannes Lions the Croisette closes, the hotels fill and a car with a driver is the only way to keep a schedule.

My Private Service provides a private chauffeur service in Cannes, airport transfers Nice NCE and Cannes CEQ, Monaco transfers, executive car hire and VIP transportation available 24/7 across Cannes and the French Riviera.

WHY KEEP A DRIVER IN CANNES

A small town
that triples in size five times a year

The Palais des Festivals sits at one end of the Croisette and the hotels that matter sit along it, which is fine in February and impossible in May. Add Mandelieu for business aviation, Nice airport thirty kilometres east and the Îles de Lérins offshore, and the day is decided by who is waiting for you and where.

HOW THE DAY WORKS

Through the festival, not around it

An hourly booking in Cannes buys access and timing rather than distance. The chauffeur knows which end of the Croisette is open that week, where the accreditation entrances are, and how long the run back to Nice really takes at six in the evening.

  • From four hours, with the same chauffeur from the first pickup to the last drop off
  • Festival weeks planned in advance, with the Croisette closures and accreditation entrances known
  • Unlimited stops inside the agreed area, from Mandelieu to Antibes
  • Evening pickups agreed before you go in, which during a festival is the whole difference
  • Discretion as standard, with signed confidentiality agreements across the team

CANNES, PRACTICAL QUESTIONS

What is the minimum booking?

Four hours. For a single Nice airport run the point to point transfer is better value and we will say so.

What happens during the festivals?

MIPIM in March, the film festival in May, Cannes Lions in June and MIPCOM in October. The Croisette closes in sections, the fleet commits early, and the routing is agreed before you arrive. Book well ahead for those weeks.

Can the car wait between meetings?

Yes, that is the format. The chauffeur parks and returns when you call, and stops in between are not charged separately.

How long is the run to Nice airport?

Twenty-seven kilometres, which is fast in February and slow on a festival evening. We set the departure against the traffic of that day and give you the time with your confirmation.

Do you cover Mandelieu?

Yes. Business aviation arrivals at Mandelieu are met on the private side, with the transfer timed on the actual landing.

Which vehicles are available?

Mercedes E-Class and S-Class for one to three passengers, V-Class for groups and luggage. Close protection can be arranged separately with certified agents.
