Long distance — private chauffeur on the French Riviera

Alps, Provence, Italy, Switzerland — without a single change.

Long distance

Alps, Provence, Italy, Switzerland — without a single change.

Beyond a hundred kilometres or so the arithmetic changes. A train imposes connections and timetables; a short flight adds two transfers, a check-in and special baggage fees. A car with a driver then competes not on price but on total door-to-door time and on comfort: one vehicle, no handling of luggage, the departure time you choose, and the option to stop. We regularly run to the northern Alps — Courchevel, Val d'Isère, Méribel, Tignes — to Provence, to northern Italy as far as Genoa, Turin and Milan, and to Switzerland. Over these distances the price is firm and quoted in advance, tolls and fuel included, whatever the journey actually takes.

What you can count on

We check your actual arrival time before every pick-up. A delay is never charged to you.

In practice

How we work

Choosing the vehicle

Over five hours on the road the car is not a detail. The van gives you the volume for ski equipment or a week's luggage, and the room for a group. The executive saloon prioritises rear comfort, sound insulation and the ability to work. We recommend one or the other according to the route and the number of passengers.

Breaks

They are planned and not charged extra. On a run to the Alps or to Milan, one or two stops are normal. The car carries water and charging sockets. If you would rather drive straight through, that works too: it's your call.

Winter in the mountains

Runs to the resorts require compliant winter equipment and sometimes chains. We set off equipped and we follow the road bulletins: if a road closes or access is restricted, we tell you as soon as we know, with the revised time. A journey that cannot be made is not charged.

Crossing a border

Italy and Switzerland require no particular formality, but every passenger needs valid identification. Checks are occasional but real, particularly around Ventimiglia. Tolls in both countries are included in the quoted price.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions — Long distance

Is there a surcharge for a long journey?

No. The price is based on distance and quoted in advance, tolls and fuel included. If the journey takes longer than expected because of traffic or weather, the price does not change.

Does the same driver do the whole journey?

Yes, over the distances we cover. That is also why breaks are planned: they serve the passengers' comfort as much as safety.

How far do you go?

Northern Alps, Provence, northern Italy as far as Milan, Switzerland. Beyond that, tell us what you need: we will say plainly if the journey is unreasonable by car.
