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.

World AI Cannes Festival

What we do for you

For two days, the World AI Cannes Festival brings together in Cannes the leaders putting artificial intelligence to work in their companies. Conferences, demonstrations and roundtables follow one another at the Palais des Festivals, then the receptions take over. Your World AI Cannes chauffeur takes care of everything, from the Nice Airport transfer to your hotel at the end of the evening.

  1. 01

    Just two days

    The festival lasts two days, Wednesday and Thursday. You can arrive the evening before, however late, or land on Wednesday morning and head straight to the Palais. On Thursday, we leave as soon as your last session ends, and you catch your evening flight without going back to the hotel.

  2. 02

    From Sophia

    The organiser highlights how close Sophia Antipolis is, one of Europe's leading technology hubs. Allow about 25 minutes to the Croisette. We do the outward trip in the morning and the return in the evening, or stay with you all day if you are hosting clients.

  3. 03

    On the show floor

    More than 200 exhibitors and sponsors show their tools live. If you are bringing a screen, a prototype or stand crates, tell us the volume when you book. The V-Class takes heavy loads, and the car stops as near as it can to the entrance the organiser gave you.

  4. 04

    The receptions

    The programme announces private receptions and peer meetings, and the day does not stop at the last session. Your chauffeur takes you there and comes back at the time you choose. If your hotel is in Antibes or Sophia, you do not have to leave the evening too early.

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 the World AI Cannes Festival?

The festival website gives Wednesday 10 and Thursday 11 February 2027. Everything happens at the Palais des Festivals. Informa, which now backs the event, expects more than 7,500 attendees and more than 200 speakers.

How long and how much from Nice Airport?

From Nice Airport to the Palais, our private driver takes about 40 minutes, with slower traffic into Cannes on a show day. The price is fixed, from €110 in an E-Class. February falls within the winter rate, valid from 1 November to the end of February, already applied.

Where do I find you after the conferences?

The chauffeur drops you as near the entrance as the traffic allows, since the streets stay open during the festival. To leave, they cannot park outside the Palais all day. So they stay nearby, and you call them as you walk out.

Can the chauffeur stay with me for both days?

Yes, as a chauffeur at your disposal, by the hour or by the day. It helps if you move from the Palais to your meetings in Sophia, then on to a reception, without knowing when each stage will end. 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.

Several of us are coming from one company, how does it work?

Send us the names, flights and hotels. We group those arriving together in a V-Class, and our partner chauffeurs take the others. We invoice your company. See also Business and conferences.

I am arriving by jet at Cannes-Mandelieu, can you collect me?

Yes. This business airport is only a quarter of an hour from the Palais, according to the organiser itself. Give us your arrival time and destination, and the chauffeur takes you straight to the festival, your hotel or your office.
