Why a chauffeur?
If you are wondering whether to hire a private or corporate chauffeur
There are two mandatory attributes (must-haves):
Chauffeurs must be safe, dependable drivers, and flexibility and a willingness to work long hours are essential.
Chauffeurs must have a second to none geographical knowledge of local roads/routes without using Sat Nav, particularly in large urban areas like London or Manchester.
A private driver is expected to have extensive experience caring for prestige and luxury vehicles or vintage cars and be discrete, multi-skilled, and highly organized.
