What is a chauffeur?

A chauffeur, or private driver, is responsible for the safe transport of a family or individual via car. They are expected to have an advanced knowledge of best driving practice, as well as the area in which they work, ensuring an efficient route time and time again. For example, a chauffeur in London will need to know how to avoid traffic and be able to adapt their route quickly when presented with delays.

A private chauffeur is expected to be an exceptional timekeeper, have a can-do attitude, be extremely flexible, remain calm under pressure and operate intuitively, understanding unspoken cues and directives. They should also be immaculately presented at all times.

A great chauffeur may also possess strong lifestyle knowledge, with an understanding of outstanding hotels, restaurants and other lifestyle locations.
