Overview

 

Located along the French Riviera, Cannes is sandwiched around halfway between Monaco and Saint Tropez, making it an extremely popular destination for holidaymakers. The city is probably most famous for the annual film festival which descends on the Palais des Festivales, attracting a host of celebrity actors, directors and more, as well as a media frenzy. In this article, we’ll discuss some of the benefits of hiring a private driver for your stay in Cannes, as well as telling you a bit about what this kind of service costs and a bit more information about Cannes itself.

 

An introduction to Cannes

Although it doesn’t boast the glitz and glamour of Monaco, Cannes has plenty going for it. It is a popular stopover destination for cruise ships in the Mediterranean and is packed with fancy restaurants and luxury hotels. One of the main attractions of the city is the Le Suquet area of the city, carved into the hillside and decorated with a warren of narrow streets. Its endearing charm is in the numerous small restaurants and independent shops, as well as the amazing views over the rest of the city from the top of the hill.

The most famous building in Cannes is without a doubt the Palais des Festivals. The venue for the annual Cannes Film Festival, you’ll have seen images of this famous building in countless magazines, documentaries, news reports and more. You can pay a visit to the venue at any time of year for a tour of the Grand Auditorium (apart from during the festival!).

You’ll also want to explore the La Croisette part of the city. Cannes’ most exclusive district, it is home to top-rated restaurants, designer stores, private beaches and all manner of fancy houses and apartments along the Boulevard de la Croisette.

Now you know a bit more about Cannes itself, let’s discuss some of the reasons you’ll want to hire a private driver during your visit to the city.

 

Private Chauffeur in Cannes 

If you are wondering why it is a good idea to consider hiring a private chauffeur in Cannes then look no further. Here are several great benefits to hiring a private driver during your trip.

#1 Driving standards

Now, we aren’t saying you are not a good driver. But if you hire a private driver then you can expect a different level of expertise. Private drivers will know their destination inside out and can take you along all the various short cuts and other good routes to your destination. If there happens to be a traffic accident, then you won’t have to deal with any of the insurance or the French authorities, relieving a lot of the stress from the situation.

 

#2 Planning

If you’re in Cannes for business or pleasure and are unfamiliar with the city, then it can be a bit daunting planning your travel – you probably won’t know how to get from place to place. Your private driver will be able to plan the best routes and help to make sure you arrive at your destination on time.

 

#3 Sit back and relax

A journey with a private driver is a much more relaxing affair than if you are having to drive yourself, or travel via public transport. You can use the journey to catch up on work calls or emails, scroll through your social media, admire the views of beautiful Cannes, or even take a nap! None of this would be possible if you didn’t have the services of a private driver. You’d have to make sure you had your eyes on the road at all times.

 

#4 Helpful technology

Another factor that makes your journey much easier if you have the services of a private driver is that in all likelihood, his or her vehicle will be fitted with satellite navigation and traffic monitoring systems. This means there is much less chance of getting caught up in a traffic jam or roadworks, your driver can simply take another route if the need arises. If you were driving yourself and only had one way of getting to your destination, you could end up sitting in traffic for hours or trying to find a new route and getting lost.

 

#5 Alcohol

We all know that it is both dangerous and illegal to drink and drive. If you have jetted into glitzy Cannes then there is a decent chance you’ll be attending some fancy meals, meetings, or parties, whether you are in the city for business or pleasure. If you hire a private driver to ferry you around then it means you can enjoy a few drinks at these events, without having to worry about how you are getting home. You can let your hair down and enjoy yourself, and your driver will be there to collect you whenever you are ready. If you are slightly intoxicated then this is a much safer option than hailing a random taxi or trying to walk back to your hotel alone in an unfamiliar city.

 

Now that we’ve established there are loads of good reasons to hire a private driver during your stay in Cannes, perhaps you are wanting to know how much this will cost?
