From the Stand to the Launch, on Time
Chauffeur-driven transport for the Paris Motor Show at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles: executives, press and guests moved between the stands, the hotels and the launches across the run of the show.
The DBS EXPERIENCE Standard
A Paris Motor Show chauffeur service is private, chauffeur-driven transport for the Mondial de l'Auto, held at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. It carries automotive executives, press, VIP guests and delegations between the exhibition halls, the hotels, the press launches and the airports at Charles de Gaulle, Orly and Le Bourget. The motor show runs on press days and launch schedules before it opens to the public, so the value is in the timing: a car to the reveal on time, a chauffeur who knows the approach to Porte de Versailles at its busiest, and one contact holding a schedule that runs from the stands to the launches and the city. The result is a show worked to the minute, without the transport getting in the way of the reveal.

Who we serve
For Those Who Run the Show to the Minute
The Paris Motor Show runs on press days and reveals before the doors open to the public: a stand to run, launches to reach on time, journalists and VIP guests to move, and Porte de Versailles at its busiest. We carry executives, press and guests between it all, on a schedule timed to the reveals, arranged directly with a corporate team or through the people who run the presence. We work most closely with four profiles.
Automotive Exhibitors & Teams
A ground partner for the team running a stand and a launch: cars between Porte de Versailles, the hotels and the city, executive vehicles for principals, and one contact holding a schedule timed to the press days and the reveals.
Press & Media
Transport for journalists and crews moving between reveals and stands, timed to the schedule, so the press day is worked without a wait between launches.
Destination Management Companies
A reliable local partner for a client presence at the show: arrivals met at the airports, multilingual chauffeurs, and transfers to Porte de Versailles, with white-label discretion that reduces your operational risk.
Executive Assistants & C-Level
A no-drama partner for a principal with a full show diary: a car between the stand, the launches and the meetings, discreet transport, live tracking and one point of contact, so the day is kept without a thought for logistics.
From the arrival to the last reveal, every journey around the Paris Motor Show is below, timed to the schedule and coordinated from one contact. The show is one date in a full Paris calendar, and the same team looks after the rest of it. For the wider programme see our events chauffeur service and our VivaTech transport.
Hotel to Porte de Versailles
Transfers to Paris Expo timed around the press days and the peak, taking the cleanest approach to Porte de Versailles when the show arrives at once.
Timed to the Launches

Airport & Station Arrivals
Executives and press met at Charles de Gaulle, Orly and Le Bourget and brought to their hotels, with a chauffeur who waits for a delayed flight.
Delegation Convoys
Cars and vans for a delegation, staged so a group moves together between the show and the city, with one contact holding the transfers.
Discreet Executive Transport
Individual vehicles for principals and VIP guests, with confidentiality held as a matter of course and NDAs on request.

A car and chauffeur at your disposal across the show, for the stands, the launches and the evenings, without rebooking each leg.

What Running the Motor Show Asks For

Timed to the Reveals
A car to the launches and press days on time, planned around a schedule that runs to the minute, so a principal or a journalist never misses a reveal.

In practice
How DBS EXPERIENCE Works in Real Life
A Manufacturer's Press Day
A manufacturer holds a reveal and hosts press across the day. We keep executive cars for principals, vehicles for journalists between the launches, and airport arrivals for visiting guests, with one contact, so the press day runs to the minute.
A VIP Guest Programme
A brand hosts VIP guests for the show. We move them from the hotels to Porte de Versailles timed to the reveals, set them down close to the hall, and keep cars on standby, so the guests reach each launch without a wait.
An International Delegation
A DMC brings a delegation to the show from abroad. We meet the arrivals, place multilingual chauffeurs, and run convoys between the hotel and Porte de Versailles, so a group that does not know the city moves together and on time.

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 show is a busy week 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 car for a principal or convoys for a press team, and add a vehicle for extra guests without unsettling the rest of the schedule.

Porte de Versailles is at its busiest during the show, with heavy approaches and controlled drop-off. We know the approved points and the cleanest routes in, brief the chauffeur on the day, and agree where you are set down, so you arrive close to the hall and unhurried rather than caught in the queue at the gate.
Can you time transport to the press days and launches?
Yes. We build the schedule around the press days and the reveals, so a car is at each launch on time and a schedule across the halls is kept without a wait. Journalists and executives are moved to the same timing, so the press day runs to the minute.
Do you offer electric or hybrid vehicles for the Paris Motor Show?
Yes. Hybrid and electric options are available on request within our fleet of 25-plus vehicles, where the routes allow, so transport for the show can be arranged with a lighter footprint while keeping an executive standard for every guest.
