Sit back, we drive

Getting into a car with a chauffeur you don't know is a matter of trust. And trust has to be earned: our chauffeurs are trained, licensed professionals, and our vehicles are insured for passenger transport.

Our job is not just to drive you from A to B: it is a discreet presence, attentive service and the certainty of being in good hands. Every detail matters, and we take care of it for you.

Cannes Lions

What we do for you

Cannes Lions brings the agencies, advertisers and creatives of global communications to Cannes. For five days, the festival starts at the Palais des Festivals and spreads along the Croisette and onto the beaches. Your Cannes Lions chauffeur looks after your Nice Airport transfer, your meetings and your late journeys back to your hotel.

  1. 01

    The journey home

    The organiser admits it, booking transport in areas outside Cannes is often difficult, especially late in the evening. It has announced a free night bus, and it advises people to plan their return. If you are staying outside the city, book your car before the evening, and the chauffeur comes to the agreed address.

  2. 02

    Beyond the Palais

    For the first time, in 2027, winning work leaves the Palais for the Croisette, the beaches and participating venues. You can follow this trail on foot. When you want to leave the centre or reach your next meeting, the chauffeur finds you at the nearest point.

  3. 03

    Your luggage

    Large suitcases are not allowed in the Palais. If your flight lands on the morning of a session, we stop at your hotel first. On Friday, the chauffeur collects your bags from reception, then picks you up at the festival and takes you to the airport.

  4. 04

    Agencies and clients

    If your agency is coming as a group, or you are hosting an advertiser, we reserve a V-Class or several cars. Each guest has their own time and address, and there is nothing to pay on board. For the rest of the season, see our major events.

Tailor-made

A group or a special request?

Several vehicles, guests to look after, a programme over several days: tell us what you need and we will prepare a tailor-made quote.

Your questions

Frequently asked questions

What are the dates of Cannes Lions 2027?

The festival runs from Monday 21 to Friday 25 June 2027, around the Palais des Festivals, according to its official website. That year, winning work will also be shown outdoors, with a passport to follow the trail.

What are the time and price from Nice Airport?

The organiser places Nice Airport less than 30 km from Cannes. By private driver, allow about 40 minutes on the motorway. Our rate starts from €120 for an E-Class, and the festival does not push it up.

Where do you drop me, and where do you wait?

As close as possible to the entrance you give us. The chauffeur then leaves, because they cannot stay parked outside the Palais. They wait in the area, then come back for you when you call.

Can the chauffeur stay with me in the evening?

Yes, with a chauffeur at your disposal. That way you avoid calling for a car each time the evening moves from a beach to a hotel, then on to a dinner. The chauffeur stays nearby until the last ride home. The price is by the hour: €80 an hour in an E-Class, €100 an hour in a V-Class, €120 an hour in an S-Class (4 h minimum), with 25 km included per hour.

How do I get back to Antibes or Nice after an evening event?

Book the return in advance, with the address and an approximate time. Antibes is half an hour from Cannes, and we drive through the night. You get the price before departure, with no surprises when it is time to leave.

Can I book a car for just one evening?

Yes. A return journey is enough if you know your times. If the evening takes you to several places, a chauffeur by the hour is a better fit. Give us your addresses in advance, and they prepare the route before collecting you.
