    Armored vehicles for the Cannes Film Festival

    Twelve days in May when the film world, its financiers and its photographers fill a small town. Arrivals are watched, and timing is everything.

    • From one full day with driver
    • Rates on request

    Armored vehicles for the Cannes Film Festival give actors, producers, financiers and guests a certified armored saloon or SUV with a trained security driver for the festival, 11 to 22 May 2027. Nero Line provides protection levels from VR4 to VR10 and plans each day around screenings at the Palais des Festivals, appointments along the Croisette and evenings at villas and parties along the coast. Festival traffic is tightly controlled and armored vehicles on the Riviera are available on request, so early booking is recommended. Rates are on request.

    What the festival is

    The Cannes Film Festival is one of the most prominent events in the film calendar. For twelve days, premieres at the Palais des Festivals, the film market, press events and private parties bring the international film industry and its guests to the Riviera.

    Every arrival at the Palais is photographed. Beyond the red carpet, the festival is also a dense calendar of financing meetings, sales and private dinners, often involving people who prefer not to be seen arriving or leaving.

    Why to book early

    During the festival, access to the Croisette and the streets around the Palais is restricted, allocated set-down slots are scarce and traffic can stand still for long periods. Hotels in Cannes fill long before the festival opens.

    Armored vehicles on the Riviera are available on request and positioned for your dates. Requesting early gives you the widest choice of vehicle and protection level and lets us plan arrivals with the festival's arrangements in mind.

    If your plans depend on the selection announcement, send a request early and update it once your schedule is confirmed: talent, market meetings and parties can all be added to the same booking. If your attendance is likely but not confirmed, a provisional request is welcome.

    How the service works during the festival

    The driver meets you at Nice or Cannes-Mandelieu and stays with you for the festival. Arrivals and departures at the Palais are planned to the minute with the set-down arrangements for each screening, and the vehicle waits nearby for the moment you leave.

    Evenings are planned from your schedule, whether that is a party on a beach, a dinner in the hills or a villa on Cap d'Antibes. The same vehicle and driver cover the whole stay.

    Plan around the big events

    Summits, congresses and festivals bring road closures and busy arrivals into a few days. These are the dates we plan for.

    Protection levels

    Protection levels in plain words

    Civilian armored vehicles are commonly rated on the VR scale. The higher the number, the heavier the threat the body and glazing are tested against, and the heavier the vehicle becomes.

    VR4

    Handguns, up to .44 Magnum.

    Discreet protection for city travel. The lightest class, closest to a standard car in weight and handling.

    VR6 to VR7

    Rifles. VR7 corresponds roughly to the former B6 rating.

    Suited to executive and diplomatic travel where rifles are part of the risk assessment.

    VR9

    Military rifles. Corresponds roughly to the former B7 rating.

    High protection for elevated risk profiles. Heavy, with a licence requirement to match.
