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.

TFWA World Exhibition

What we do for you

The TFWA World Exhibition brings duty free and travel retail professionals to Cannes. The week plays out between the Palais des Festivals, the Gare Maritime and the Carlton Beach, where brands and buyers gather in the evening. Your TFWA Cannes chauffeur manages your Nice Airport transfer, then every journey of your week, down to the late rides back.

  1. 01

    Sunday

    At the last edition, the week began on Sunday, with registration at the Gare Maritime and the opening cocktail at 7 pm at the Carlton Beach. If you arrive that day, the chauffeur stops at your hotel, then takes you to collect your badge.

  2. 02

    The show shuttles

    The organiser has offered free shuttles to and from Nice Airport and between the Palais and the large hotels. They keep to their own times and stops. Our car meets you as you leave your flight and goes to your exact address, even if your hotel is not served.

  3. 03

    Monday morning

    At the last edition, the conference filled the Grand Auditorium from 9 am to 11.45 am, and the show only opened at noon. If you land that morning, tell us which part you are aiming for. We drop you at the Palais, or first at the hotel for your things.

  4. 04

    The TFWA Lounge

    At the last edition, the Lounge at the Carlton Beach opened after the show, then ran until 1 am, or 2 am on Wednesday. No need to search for a car at that hour. Book your return, and the chauffeur is there at the agreed time, as far as Antibes or Nice if needed.

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 the TFWA World Exhibition 2027?

Sunday 3 to Thursday 7 October 2027, according to the TFWA website. The show fills the Palais des Festivals. The detailed programme has yet to appear. At the last edition, the show opened from 9 am to 6.30 pm, and until 5 pm on Thursday.

How long is the drive from Nice Airport, and what is the fare?

From the terminal at Nice Airport, our private driver reaches Cannes in about 40 minutes. You pay only the fixed price shown, from €120 in an E-Class. It depends neither on traffic nor on the show.

Where do I get out, and where are you waiting?

You step out as close as possible to the Palais entrance, or outside the Gare Maritime if you are going to registration. The chauffeur does not park on the Croisette. They move away, then return as soon as you call.

Can you stay with me all day?

Yes, that is a chauffeur at your disposal. It suits you if your meetings at the show alternate with a lunch outside, a store visit or a dinner, and if your times keep moving. 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.

My hotel is not on the shuttle route, what can I do?

We collect you each morning and take you back in the evening. You can book two fixed-price journeys a day, or keep the chauffeur. For a team, see Business and conferences.

What time should I plan to leave on the last day?

At the last edition, the show closed at 5 pm on Thursday. Give us your flight time, and we set the time of the car. Your suitcases can already be in the boot if the chauffeur is at your disposal.
