Step Off the Jet at Cannes to a Chauffeur Already Waiting
Your chauffeur tracks the tail number, coordinates with your FBO at Cannes-Mandelieu and is beside the car as you leave the cabin. The Croisette is roughly ten minutes away, on a fare agreed before you fly.
The DBS EXPERIENCE Standard
Cannes-Mandelieu is the Riviera's business aviation airport, minutes from the Croisette. The value of a private flight is the time it saves, and a car that is not in position when you land gives that time back. DBS EXPERIENCE works to the rhythm of private aviation: the chauffeur tracks your tail number, speaks with your handler, and is at the aircraft or in the lounge as you arrive, with the fare to Cannes or along the coast already agreed.

The Producer Arriving for the Festival

The Family Office Reaching Cap d'Antibes
A family office arranges a Cannes-Mandelieu transfer for a principal and close staff heading to a villa on Cap d'Antibes. NDAs are in place, the chauffeur is briefed to the family's protocols, and an S-Class and a V-Class are positioned for guests and luggage.
The DMC Running the Yacht Show
A DMC moves a group of clients between Cannes-Mandelieu, hotels and the harbour across the yacht show. One contact manages every car, each chauffeur is matched to an arrival, and the group keeps to a tight schedule through a busy week.
