How a day with your chauffeur works
-
Pick-up
Your chauffeur collects you at your hotel, the airport or your office, at the time you choose.
-
During the day
Meetings, lunch, shopping, a site visit: the car waits close by and is at the door when you come out. Plans change? Just tell your driver.
-
In the evening
Dinner, a show, a late meeting. The car stays as long as you need it, at the hourly rate after the first 8 hours.
-
Long days
On very long days a rested second driver takes over, at no extra cost, so the driving stays calm until the end.
The cars
Mercedes S-Class
Three saloons, their cabins in cream, black and cognac brown. Room for up to three passengers alongside you.
Mercedes V-Class
Up to seven passengers with luggage, for a team, a family or a band’s crew.
Mercedes Vito
Comes along for luggage or equipment, to the same door at the same time. Ask when you book.
Your driver
Licensed and background-checked
Every driver holds a Dutch chauffeurskaart, which is only issued with a government certificate of conduct (VOG).
Discreet
Your driver speaks when spoken to and keeps what they see and hear to themselves. We sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) on request.
Smooth, calm driving
No harsh braking and no hurry, all day long: a quiet cabin to work, take a call or rest.
Suit and tie
Our standard dress. Casual on request, for clients who prefer a driver who does not look like one.
Your language
Every driver speaks Dutch and English. Ask for a driver who speaks Arabic, Turkish, Urdu, Punjabi or Hindi.
Who we drive
Business travellers
Meetings across the country, a roadshow, a trade fair at the RAI or a day on the Zuidas: one car and one driver for every appointment. Companies registered in the Netherlands can pay by invoice within 14 days.
Artists and tour managers
Airport, hotel, soundcheck, venue and back after the show, however late it ends. A V-Class for the crew, a Vito for luggage or gear, casual dress if you prefer, and an NDA if your management asks for one.
Diplomats and delegations
We have driven diplomats and government delegations. Protocol, punctuality and discretion come first: background-checked drivers in suit and tie, and an NDA on request.
