Mercedes Sprinter chauffeur for groups up to 19

A VIP minibus for up to 19 passengers

The Mercedes Sprinter is the vehicle behind our name. It seats up to 19 passengers in quilted leather VIP seats, with a professional chauffeur, fuel, tolls, airport parking and bottled water included in a fixed price.

The point is simple: one vehicle, one departure, everyone arrives together. No splitting the group between taxis, no waiting for the last car at the hotel.

What groups use the Sprinter for

Weddings. Guests move between the hotel, the ceremony and the reception without anyone driving after dinner. Many venues sit in the hills around Grasse, Mougins and Saint-Paul-de-Vence. Some bastides are reached by narrow lanes, so we check access in advance for a vehicle of more than 7 m. If the lane is too tight, a V-Class shuttles guests from the road.

Seminars and congresses. Daily runs between the hotels and the Palais des Festivals in Cannes, the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco or a company in Sophia Antipolis. We plan rotations around your agenda, including the early arrivals and late departures.

Sports teams. Players, staff and kit bags travel in one go between the airport, the hotel and the stadium or training ground.

Long-distance trips. Day trips to Italy, transfers to the Alpine ski resorts, Provence or Marseille airport. Nice to Milan takes roughly 3 h 30 by motorway.

Luggage: plan it before the day

The Sprinter takes about 12 standard checked suitcases. A seminar group with cabin bags is easy. A full group of 19 with one large suitcase each, golf bags or ski equipment is a different story.

For those cases we offer, on request, a luggage trailer or a second vehicle that takes the bags while the group travels in the Sprinter. Tell us the number and type of bags when you ask for a quote, and we size the solution accordingly.

Local constraints we plan for

A minibus is not a sedan, and the Riviera has a few places where that matters:

• Monaco. Traffic on the Rock is restricted. Groups visiting the Prince’s Palace are usually dropped at Place d’Armes and walk up the Rampe Major, about 10 minutes on foot.
• Hill villages. Èze and Saint-Paul-de-Vence are pedestrian inside their walls. The chauffeur drops you at the entrance and waits nearby.
• Driving time. A minibus of this size falls under EU driving-time rules: the chauffeur must take a 45-minute break after 4 h 30 at the wheel. On long days we build those breaks into the schedule, or add a second chauffeur on request.
• Event weeks. During the Cannes Film Festival in May and the Monaco Grand Prix, traffic around the venues is restricted. We plan drop-off points and extra margin with you in advance.

Comfort on board

The quilted leather seats are designed for long journeys, with climate control throughout the cabin. Bottled water and phone chargers are on board, and most of our vehicles have Wi-Fi. Each vehicle is cleaned before every ride, and your chauffeur speaks English and French.

Planning a larger event

For groups above 19, we run the Sprinter alongside other vehicles: two Sprinters for 38 guests, or a Sprinter with a Mercedes V-Class for 26. Our group transportation on the French Riviera and event transportation pages show how we organise multi-vehicle days.
