Private Chauffeur — TFWA Cannes28 September – 1 October 2026 · Palais des Festivals

Our rates remain strictly unchanged during TFWA: no event surcharge, unlike consumer apps and taxis that multiply their prices during Cannes' major shows. A transfer from Nice Airport to Cannes costs €110 in a Tesla Model Y (Electric), €130 in a Mercedes E-Class (Saloon), €160 in a Mercedes V-Class (Van) and €210 in a Mercedes S-Class. A journey within Cannes between your Croisette hotel and the Palais starts at €30, and the Cannes to Monaco run at €180. For exhibitors and delegations moving between meetings, stands and dinners, chauffeur hire is the most suitable option: from €70/hour, with 5-hour packages from €350 and 10-hour packages from €700. All our rates are inclusive of tax and all charges, and known at the time of booking.

This is the challenge our clients raise most often during TFWA. The Palais des Festivals sits at the heart of Cannes, between the Vieux Port and the Croisette, in an area where public car parks fill up from the morning and where traffic is slowed by the show's crowds, stand deliveries and the marquee villages lining the seafront. Driving yourself means losing precious time hunting for a space that simply is not there. Our answer is chauffeur hire: a dedicated driver drops you as close as possible to the Palais entrance, the Riviera Village or your hotel, waits nearby during your meetings and collects you on your signal. You leave your belongings and samples in the vehicle and move between stands, meetings and dinners without ever touching a steering wheel or looking for parking.

Yes, and it is our most requested service during the show. Nice Côte d'Azur Airport is around 27 kilometres from Cannes — 30 to 45 minutes via the A8 in normal conditions, though you should allow a comfortable margin during TFWA week, when international arrivals concentrate on the Saturday and Sunday before the opening. Your chauffeur tracks your flight number in real time, adjusts the pick-up in case of delay at no extra cost, greets you in the arrivals hall with a name board and handles your luggage. The rate is fixed and known at booking: from €110. For delegations and exhibitor teams travelling with equipment and samples, the Mercedes V-Class accommodates up to seven passengers with their luggage, and we coordinate several vehicles for larger groups.

No, never. This is a firm commitment from Plug-In Cannes and one of the main reasons for our professional clientele's loyalty. During TFWA, as during the Cannes Film Festival, Cannes Lions, MIPIM or the Cannes Yachting Festival, our rates remain strictly identical to those charged the rest of the year. It is precisely when consumer apps apply multipliers and taxis become scarce that the value of a committed provider reveals itself. You know the exact price at booking and it will not move, whatever the crowds or the hour of your journey. This pricing predictability is an integral part of the service and allows exhibitors and international buyers alike to budget their show week precisely, with no unpleasant surprises on the expense report.

Yes, this is a frequent request from travel retail brands and exhibitors. We regularly transport clients, buyers and VIP guests on behalf of our partners: greeting at Nice Airport with a name board, transfer to the hotel, drop-off at the Palais entrance or the Riviera Village, shuttle to brand dinners and evening events, and return late at night. The chauffeur is briefed in advance on your guests' names, their schedule and the level of discretion expected. For a key buyer or an executive you are hosting, the Mercedes S-Class offers a setting worthy of the commercial stakes. Invoicing is made directly to your company, sparing you any handling of money in front of your guests and simplifying your show accounting.

Yes, and these connections are very much in demand during TFWA week, because Cannes' hotel capacity saturates and many attendees stay in neighbouring towns. We handle daily journeys to and from Antibes, Juan-les-Pins, Mougins, Mandelieu, Nice and Monaco, as well as every connection on the French Riviera. Our rates are fixed on each destination: Nice Airport to Cannes from €110, Cannes to Monaco from €180, for example. For a day combining several meetings between your hotel, the Palais and a dinner in the hinterland, chauffeur hire remains the most flexible and economical option, your driver adapting in real time to how your schedule develops. We also coordinate transport for teams staying across several different locations.

Yes, within the limits of the areas accessible to vehicles, which are regulated during the show. Our chauffeurs know precisely the authorised drop-off points around the Palais des Festivals, access to the Riviera Village along the Croisette and the routes that remain usable at peak hours, when the Boulevard de la Croisette and the Rue d'Antibes are saturated. When booking, tell us the exact location of your meeting, your stand number or the entrance you are heading for: we adapt the approach to leave you as close as possible, which makes a real difference when you are carrying equipment or samples, or are expected at a meeting. This fine knowledge of Cannes' geography and traffic constraints is exactly what sets a local chauffeur apart from a ride simply ordered on an app.

Yes, and it is the option most exhibitors and delegations choose. Rather than stacking up individual rides, multi-day chauffeur hire assigns you a dedicated vehicle and driver for the whole of TFWA, from the Sunday conference to the Thursday close. The chauffeur knows your schedule, your hotels, your stand hours and your dinners, and adapts in real time to the unexpected — a meeting that runs over, a buyer to collect from the airport, a change of restaurant. Packages start at €70/hour, with 5-hour rates from €350 and 10-hour rates from €700, and we offer degressive terms for bookings covering the entire week. One point of contact, a single company invoice and guaranteed availability: you focus on your business, we handle the logistics.

As early as possible, and ideally three to four weeks before the opening. TFWA week concentrates several thousand international professional visitors and a clientele of travel retail executives on Cannes and its surroundings, in an area whose hotel and transport capacity is very limited and already stretched by a dense season of shows. Our vehicles and chauffeurs are booked well in advance by exhibitors, brands and buyers who return every year. For multi-day chauffeur hire — the most requested option — contact us as soon as your stand, meetings or accommodation are confirmed. If your visit is decided late, contact us anyway: we always do our utmost to find a solution, but availability can no longer be guaranteed in the final days before the show.
