Le Mans, Around the Clock
Chauffeur-driven transport for the 24 Hours of Le Mans: teams, sponsors and hospitality guests carried between Paris, the paddock and the grandstands, through the day and the night.
The DBS EXPERIENCE Standard
A 24 Hours of Le Mans chauffeur service is private, chauffeur-driven transport for the endurance classic on the Circuit de la Sarthe each June. It carries teams, sponsors, hospitality guests and their partners between Paris, the hotels of the Sarthe, the paddock and the grandstands, around the clock for the length of the race. Le Mans sits about two hours from Paris and runs for twenty-four hours without pause, so the value is in the endurance and the timing: a comfortable transfer from the city, chauffeurs who work through the night as the race does, and one contact holding the journeys from the start to the flag. The result is a race followed in full, with the transport as tireless as the cars.

Who we serve
For Those Who Follow the Race in Full
Le Mans is two hours from Paris, a circuit that runs for a full day and night, and guests who want to be at the paddock at dawn and the grandstand at the flag. We carry teams, sponsors and hospitality guests through it all, around the clock, arranged directly or through the people who host at the race. We work most closely with four profiles.
Teams & Sponsors
A ground partner that works as long as the race: transfers from Paris, journeys between the paddock, the hospitality and the grandstands through the night, and one contact holding a schedule that runs for twenty-four hours.
Corporate Hospitality Guests
Cars and vans for guests in the hospitality, timed to the race and staged for a clean approach to the circuit, with returns whenever the guests choose to leave, day or night.
Destination Management Companies
A reliable local partner for guests visiting from abroad: arrivals met at the airports, multilingual chauffeurs, transfers from Paris to the Sarthe, and round-the-clock journeys, with white-label discretion that reduces your operational risk.
Family Offices & Private Guests
Discreet arrangements for a principal at the race, with confidentiality as a matter of course, NDAs on request, a comfortable transfer from Paris, and a chauffeur on hand through the night.

Le Mans is one date in a full calendar, and the same team looks after the rest of it. For the drive see our long-distance car service, and for the wider programme our events chauffeur service.

In practice
How DBS EXPERIENCE Works in Real Life
A Sponsor's Hospitality Weekend
A brand hosts guests in hospitality across the race. We transfer them from Paris, keep cars and a van moving between the circuit and the hotel around the clock, and hold returns whenever guests choose to leave, with one contact for the whole weekend.
A Team's Round-the-Clock Needs
A team needs discreet transfers through the night. We keep chauffeurs on hand as the race runs, move principals between the paddock and the hotel at any hour, and hold confidentiality throughout, so the transport works as long as the cars do.
An International Guest From the Airport
A DMC brings a guest from abroad. We meet the arrival at Charles de Gaulle, transfer them to the Sarthe in good order, and keep a car for the paddock and the grandstands, so a guest who does not know the circuit follows the race at ease.

À chaque arrivée de nos dirigeants à Paris, le chauffeur est déjà là quand ils passent la douane. Les vols bougent, la prise en charge ne bouge jamais. Cela retire la seule variable que nous ne maîtrisons pas.

Yes. The race is a busy weekend and we hold capacity for it. With 25-plus vehicles, 30-plus chauffeurs and a 24/7 desk answering within the hour, we arrange a transfer from Paris or a car for the circuit at short notice, and add a vehicle for extra guests without unsettling the rest of your schedule.
Can you provide transport through the night, as the race runs around the clock?
Yes, and it is the point of the service. The 24 Hours runs day and night without pause, so we plan chauffeurs to work through the night as the race does. A car is ready for the paddock at dawn or the grandstand at the flag, at any hour, so you follow the race in full without a gap in the transport.
How long is the transfer from Paris, and what is the car like?
Le Mans is about two hours from Paris by road. The transfer is in a Mercedes-Benz kept immaculate, with a calm, private cabin, Wi-Fi and water, and a chauffeur who plans the departure so you arrive in good order for the start. For arrivals by air, we also meet flights at Charles de Gaulle, Orly and Le Bourget.
Is transport for teams and principals kept confidential?
Yes. Names, schedules and journeys are held in confidence, our chauffeurs work to a confidentiality standard as a matter of course, and we sign non-disclosure agreements on request. For teams and public figures we coordinate quietly with your team and security, so transfers draw no attention.
Do you offer electric or hybrid vehicles for Le Mans transport?
Yes. Hybrid and electric options are available on request within our fleet of 25-plus vehicles, where the route allows, so the journey to the Sarthe and the transfers at the circuit can be arranged with a lighter footprint while keeping a first-class standard for every guest.
