RIVIERA · PRINCIPALITY OF MONACO
Transport to Monte Carlo and the French Riviera
Prestige cars, classics and yachts — from Liguria to the Principality of Monaco and the French Riviera. A direct, discreet service with no intermediaries.
THE ROUTE
The most exclusive route in the western Mediterranean
The Principality of Monaco and the French Riviera represent one of the world’s most concentrated markets for luxury cars, classic cars and superyachts. Every year, between concours d’elegance events, prestigious auctions, the Formula 1 Grand Prix and the Monaco Yacht Show, hundreds of vehicles and vessels of extraordinary value move along the Riviera — and many of these pass through Italy.
Rubino Express operates from a privileged geographical position to serve this route. Our base in the Western Ligurian Riviera makes us the ideal starting point for Monaco and the French Riviera: about 40 kilometres from the French border and about 70 from the Principality. A service that combines the competitiveness of a local operator with the ability to cross the border seamlessly.
No other Italian carriers have a dedicated page for this route. It is a gap we fill with a service designed for those who move high-value vehicles and vessels between the two countries — collectors, dealers, boat owners, auction houses, event organisers.
PREMIUM SERVICES
Our services for Monte Carlo and the French Riviera
LUXURY & SUPERCAR
Prestige cars
We transport Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini, Bentley and every other prestige brand between Italy and the French Riviera. Our tow truck protects the vehicle throughout the journey — no extra kilometres on the odometer, no road risk, no exposure to the elements.
CLASSIC & COLLECTION
Classic cars
Thanks to our synergy with Rubino Classic Cars, we have specific expertise in transporting classic and vintage cars. We collect and deliver vehicles for concours d’elegance events, auctions such as Bonhams and RM Sotheby’s, events like Retromobile or the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este. Every car is treated with the care its historical value demands.
YACHT & TENDER
Nautical transport
Vessels, tenders and luxury inflatables that need to reach Port Hercule, the Port of Nice, Port Vauban in Antibes or the boatyards of the French Riviera. We manage road transport with our own equipment, coordinating with port authorities for access and loading windows.
SPOT POLICIES
Dedicated insurance
For transport of particularly high-value vehicles and vessels, we activate spot insurance coverage dedicated to the individual transport. This guarantees the owner protection appropriate to the real value of the asset, without the limitations of standard policies.
DISCRETION
Confidential service
In the luxury market, discretion is not optional. We work with absolute confidentiality: no unauthorised photos, no public communications, no data shared. The vehicle leaves from one point and arrives at its destination — the rest is between us and the client.
DESTINATIONS
The destinations we serve on the French Riviera
Our range covers the entire arc of the French Riviera, from the Italian border to Saint-Tropez and beyond. Each destination has its own logistical specifics — port access, traffic restrictions, loading times — and we know them because we operate there regularly.
Principality of Monaco — Port Hercule, the Grand Prix circuit, private residences, apartment block garages with often complex access. Monaco requires precision in planning — tight spaces, strict regulations, delivery times to be respected.
Nice, Cannes, Antibes, Saint-Tropez — the main cities of the French Riviera with ports, airports and a constant flow of luxury vehicles. We deliver to dealerships, hotels, private residences, marina berths and superyacht yards such as Port Vauban.

WHY US
Why trust us for the Monte Carlo and French Riviera route
The ideal starting point
Our base in the Western Ligurian Riviera positions us less than 70 kilometres from the Principality and 40 from the French border. For clients in Monaco and the French Riviera, shorter reaction times and lower positioning costs than any other specialised Italian carrier.
Classic car expertise
La sinergia con Rubino Classic Cars non è solo un marchio condiviso: è una conoscenza diretta del mondo delle auto d’epoca. Sappiamo come si maneggia una carrozzeria degli anni ’50, come si fissa un’auto senza punti di aggancio standard, come si protegge una verniciatura originale.
One operator, two countries
We load in Italy and deliver in France — or vice versa — with no operator change at the border. One contract, one invoice, one contact person. For those managing fleets, collections or recurring transfers between the two countries, this radically simplifies the logistics.
The border passes through Ventimiglia
All our transport to France passes through Ventimiglia, where we operate daily:
- Transport in Ventimiglia — Cala del Forte, cross-border service and Italy-France express deliveries
