AB Driver

What AB Driver offers English speakers in Nice

Bahri, who everyone calls Barry, drives from Nice at any hour with a Mercedes saloon and a large passenger van, and takes on the awkward jobs. One passenger asked in advance whether two large bike boxes would fit and got a straight confirmation before booking, which is the sort of question most services answer badly. Baby car seats are available on request, and groups of five and six are handled in one vehicle.

Arrivals are where the record is strongest. He tracks flights, waited when a British Airways service ran badly late and then found somewhere still open for food and water on the way in, meets passengers at baggage claim, and parks just outside the terminal rather than in a distant car park. Train arrivals at Nice-ville are covered too. When he is already booked he finds another driver instead of cancelling, and Jean-Louis is named by one passenger as the substitute. MIPIM, the Cannes Film Festival and the Cineroman festival in Nice all appear in the record. One reviewer in 2021 reports calling repeatedly with no reply and no car, the single blemish. Reviews arrive in English, French and German, and several confirm his English directly.
