About Riviera Lounge Van
Riviera Lounge Van is a pre-booked private van and chauffeur service operating in Nice and across the French Riviera, run by BLACK CAB LILLE (French VTC registration EVTC059166404).
What we do
One kind of service, done carefully
We drive people around the Riviera in a Mercedes-Benz V-Class, on rides booked in advance at a price agreed before the day. That is all we do, and it lets us concentrate on the details that matter to visitors: being on time at Arrivals, knowing the villa roads, answering messages quickly, and telling you honestly when something does not work.
The service is designed for visitors from abroad: travellers from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Asia and the Gulf, and international companies. Our chauffeurs speak English and French, and our booking, confirmations and invoices are available in English.
How we work
- Every ride is pre-booked and confirmed in writing
- Written quotes before you travel
- We say clearly what we cannot do, such as pickups inside Monaco
- Your data is used only to run your ride

What VTC means
Licensed private hire, explained
In France, a VTC (voiture de transport avec chauffeur) is a licensed private hire operator. Unlike a taxi, a VTC cannot pick up passengers in the street or wait for them at a stand: every ride must be booked in advance. Operators are listed on a national register run by the French Ministry of Transport, and drivers hold a professional VTC card.
For you, this means a confirmed booking with the driver and the price known before the ride, a written record of the trip, and an invoice afterwards.
