01 — The Founder
Daniel Mendao
Twenty years in Monaco, fifteen at the Monte-Carlo Beach. One single profession: hospitality.
Born in Portugal, I lived in Monaco for over 20 years. Trained at the Lycée Hôtelier de Monte-Carlo, I dedicated more than 15 years to the Monte-Carlo Beach, alongside a stint at the Monte-Carlo Bay. There, I worked my way up from chef de rang to head waiter, catering to the Principality's most discerning clientele.
In 2023, I founded 1DRIV3R to offer that same level of service on the road: private chauffeur in Monaco, transfers from Nice Airport, and as-directed hire across the entire French Riviera. Smartly dressed, with no tie or unnecessary protocol: a genuine connection, attentive to every client.

02 — Our commitments
i.
Punctuality
Your driver is on site before you arrive, with the route planned in advance. You never have to wait.
ii.
Discretion
The habits of Monegasque clientele: absolute confidentiality, attentive presence, never intrusive.
iii.
Attention to detail
An immaculate Mercedes, a fixed price agreed in advance and a single point of contact, reachable at any time.
I know Monaco and the Riviera like the back of my hand: the addresses, the access routes, the schedules, and the expectations of those who live or stay there.
