The Riviera Private Driver promise

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.

MIPCOM

What we do for you

MIPCOM brings television and content buyers, producers and distributors to Cannes. The market takes place at the Palais des Festivals, where meetings follow one another for four days. Your MIPCOM Cannes chauffeur covers your Nice Airport transfer, your team's journeys and your evening dinners, right up to the drive back to your hotel.

  1. 01

    Before the market

    At the last edition, registration opened the Friday before, and MIPJUNIOR took place just ahead of the market. If you arrive for the weekend, the chauffeur meets you at the airport and drives you to your hotel. They can then drop you at the badge desk, before the market opens on Monday.

  2. 02

    Thursday

    At the last edition, the market closed at 4 pm that day, compared with 7 pm on other days. No luggage is allowed into the Palais during the market. Leave yours at the hotel or in our boot, and we go from the Palais to your flight without any detour.

  3. 03

    Hotels outside Cannes

    The organiser provides a free shuttle from hotels outside Cannes. If you have a meeting as soon as the doors open, you may prefer a private car. The chauffeur leaves your address at the time that fits your diary, with no other stops on the way.

  4. 04

    With your teams

    If your production or distribution company is coming as a group, tell us who arrives when. We place everyone in a V-Class or in separate cars. The invoice brings all journeys together in your company's name. For more, see Business and conferences.

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

When and where is MIPCOM 2027?

The organiser gives Monday 18 to Thursday 21 October 2027. The market fills the Palais des Festivals. At the last edition, doors opened at 8.30 am and closed at 7 pm, or 4 pm on the final day.

What budget should I plan from Nice Airport, and how long does it take?

Allow about 40 minutes to get from Nice Airport to the Palais with our private driver. The budget begins at €120 in an E-Class, and the amount stays as booked, whatever the traffic.

Where are you while I am at the market?

The chauffeur leaves you right by the entrance, then moves away, as they cannot stay outside the Palais on the Croisette. They stay reachable by phone and return to the exit when you are ready.

Can I have a chauffeur for the whole week?

Yes, by the day or for several days, as a chauffeur at your disposal. You do not have to book each journey when your meetings and dinners change at the last minute. You give your schedule once, and the chauffeur sticks to it. 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.

I am coming straight from the airport with my suitcase, where can I leave it?

We can stop at your hotel first. Otherwise, the organiser lists a left-luggage service at the Gare Maritime, to be collected the same day, and cloakrooms at the Palais. We drop you there. Note that nothing can stay overnight.

Can you take my guests to dinner after the market?

Yes. A V-Class is enough for a small group, and we add a car beyond that. Give us the restaurant address and the return time you want. Your guests have nothing to pay, and you receive the invoice.
