The European Championship, Moved Across France
During UEFA Euro 2016, DBS EXPERIENCE provided chauffeur-driven transport for guests and partners between Paris, the stadiums and the hotels: the track record we bring to every major football tournament in France.
The DBS EXPERIENCE Standard
UEFA Euro 2016 was the European Football Championship hosted across France in June and July 2016, played in ten stadiums from the Stade de France in Saint-Denis to grounds in the host cities, and it brought guests, partners and hospitality from around the world. During the tournament, DBS EXPERIENCE provided chauffeur-driven transport for guests and partners between Paris, the stadiums and the hotels, on a schedule that held under the pressure of a full country at match time. That experience is the point of this page: a major football tournament is multi-city, high-volume and unforgiving on timing, and it is precisely the work we are built for. For the next championship held in France, we bring the same coordination, capacity and discretion, proven when it mattered.

Who we serve
For Those Who Host at a Major Tournament
A tournament like the European Championship is many cities, many fixtures and a country at capacity. It was our work at Euro 2016, and it is our work for the next one: sponsors' guests to the hospitality, partners between the host cities, and principals from the airport to the ground. We work most closely with four profiles.
Sponsors & Partners
A ground partner across the tournament: guests moved between the host cities, the stadiums and the hotels, with volume capacity, uniform standards and one contact, so a partner's hospitality programme runs the same in every city, as it did at Euro 2016.
Corporate Hospitality
Cars and vans for the guests in your boxes and suites, timed to kick-off and staged for a clean exit, with one contact holding the transfers across the fixtures.
Destination Management Companies
A reliable local partner for guests visiting France for the tournament: arrivals met at the airports, multilingual chauffeurs, and transfers across the host cities, with white-label discretion that reduces your operational risk.
Family Offices & Private Guests
Discreet arrangements for a principal at the tournament, with confidentiality as a matter of course, NDAs on request, and quiet coordination with security where needed.
Every transfer a tournament asks for is below, proven at Euro 2016 and coordinated from one contact. A championship is one part of a full events practice, and the same team looks after the rest. For a single fixture see our sporting events transport, and for the wider programme our events chauffeur service.
Multi-City Coordination
Transfers planned across the host cities as one schedule, with vehicles staged in each and the fleet matched to the numbers, as we did across Euro 2016.
Hotel to Stadium
Cars timed to kick-off, taking the cleanest approach to the ground and setting guests down at the agreed point for the shortest walk to the gate.
Sponsor & Hospitality Groups
Cars and vans for hospitality guests, staged and timed so a group reaches its seats together, with one contact holding the transfers.
Airport & Station Arrivals
Guests met at the airports and stations across the host cities and brought to their hotels, with a chauffeur who waits for a delayed flight.
Clean Exit After the Whistle
A pickup point agreed clear of the ground and its closures, so a full stadium leaving at once does not stand between a guest and the car.
Discreet Partner Transport
Quiet transfers for partners, sponsors' principals and public figures, coordinated with your team and, where needed, with security.
The DBS Difference
What a Major Tournament Asks For
A tournament is logistics at scale: many cities, many fixtures, and a country at capacity. We proved it at Euro 2016, and we bring the same to the next: coordination across the host cities, capacity to match the volume, and discretion for the guests who matter most.
Proven at Scale
A track record from UEFA Euro 2016, a multi-city tournament run under pressure, so the capability is demonstrated rather than promised.
Multi-City Coordination
Transfers planned across the host cities as one schedule, with one contact holding the plan and the fleet matched to the numbers.
Stadium Knowledge
Chauffeurs who know the approaches, drop-off points and closures around the grounds, so guests arrive close and leave without a search.
Capacity & Resilience
A fleet of 25-plus vehicles, backup cars and a 24/7 desk, so a late change or an added guest is absorbed without unsettling the plan.
Duty of care and full cover.
Transport Licence No. EVTC075180190, issued by the French Ministry of Transport, with comprehensive passenger insurance.
One contact, around the clock.
A single operations contact, with a 24/7 desk answering within the hour.

In practice
How DBS EXPERIENCE Works in Real Life
A Partner Across the Host Cities
At Euro 2016, a partner needed guests moved across several host cities to a consistent standard. We coordinated the transfers as one schedule, staged vehicles in each city, and held it all from one contact, so the hospitality programme ran the same wherever the fixture was played.
A Hospitality Suite at the Stade de France
A sponsor hosted guests in a suite for a fixture at the Stade de France. We staged cars and a van timed to kick-off, set the group down near the gate, and held the vehicles for the whistle, with one contact through the day.
A Principal for the Final
A guest attended the final with a full programme around it. We met the arrival at the airport, placed a chauffeur across the days, ran the transfers to the ground, and held confidentiality throughout, so the principal moved through the occasion 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have you handled transport for a major football tournament before?
Yes. During UEFA Euro 2016 we provided chauffeur-driven transport for guests and partners between Paris, the stadiums and the hotels, on a schedule that held across the tournament. A championship is multi-city, high-volume and unforgiving on timing, and it is precisely the work we are built for, with the capacity and coordination proven when it mattered.
Can you coordinate transfers across several host cities?
Yes. We plan the transfers across the host cities as one schedule, stage vehicles in each, match the fleet to the numbers, and hold the whole plan from one operations contact, so a partner's programme runs the same wherever the fixture is played. It is the coordination we ran across Euro 2016.
Is transport for partners and high-profile guests 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 partners and public figures we coordinate quietly with your team and, where needed, with security, so transfers draw no attention.
Do you offer electric or hybrid vehicles for tournament transport?
Yes. Hybrid and electric options are available on request within our fleet of 25-plus vehicles, where the routes allow, so transport for a tournament can be arranged with a lighter footprint while keeping a first-class standard for every guest.
Can you scale to the volume of a tournament and absorb late changes?
Yes. With 25-plus vehicles, 30-plus chauffeurs, backup cars and a 24/7 desk answering within the hour, we match the fleet to the numbers across the fixtures and absorb a late change or an added guest without unsettling the plan. It is the resilience a tournament demands, and the capability we demonstrated at Euro 2016.
