Start with the basics
A good chauffeur service answers these questions before you ask them.
Before you compare prices, make sure the operator is licensed and insured where you are travelling. A serious company will show you both without being asked twice.
- Is the operator licensed in that city?
- What commercial insurance does it carry?
- Who actually drives: employees or partners?
Then look at the people
Ask how chauffeurs are trained and how they are checked. The vehicle matters, but the person behind the wheel is what you will remember.
Chauffeur training
Look for defensive driving, passenger care and regular reviews.
Background checks
Every chauffeur should pass one before their first trip, and again on a schedule.
Finally, read the small print
Know what happens if a flight is delayed or a meeting runs late. Waiting time and cancellation rules are where a cheap quote stops being cheap.
