Private Driver and Chauffeur Service in Cannes

Cannes, French Riviera

Your private chauffeur in Cannes, for stays, business and events

Luxotica provides private drivers in Cannes for Nice Airport transfers, hourly and full-day hire, business travel, weddings and the city’s big events. Your English-speaking chauffeur drives you in a Mercedes S-Class or V-Class, from the Croisette to the villas in the hills, and waits for you between appointments.

Every booking has a fixed price agreed in advance, so festival weeks, traffic and late nights do not change what you pay. We are available 24/7, and we know Cannes in May as well as in winter.

Events in Cannes

Chauffeur for the Cannes Film Festival, MIPIM and Cannes Lions

Cannes hosts some of the busiest events in Europe: MIPIM in March, the International Film Festival in May, Cannes Lions in June and MIPCOM in October. During those weeks the city fills with delegates, streets around the Palais des Festivals are closed or restricted, and taxis and ride-hailing apps are in very high demand, with app prices rising at peak times.

A pre-booked chauffeur solves this. Your car and driver are confirmed before you arrive, your chauffeur knows where cars can stop near the Palais and your hotel, and your return after an evening event is already planned. For companies, we can cover a team with several daily runs between hotels, villas and the venue.

Book early: for festival and congress dates, the earlier you book, the easier it is to guarantee the vehicle you want. Read more in our guide to getting an Uber in Cannes during festivals.

  2. Receive a fixed price. We reply with a fixed price for each transfer, or for the hours you need.
