In short: You can hire a Chauffeurz chauffeur in London by the hour, by the day, or for a single journey. A professional, licensed driver looks after the route, parking and waiting while you travel in an executive or luxury car. Hire starts from £55 an hour, with a four-hour minimum, or a fixed price per journey.
Hiring a chauffeur is not the same as calling a taxi. You get a professional driver who knows London, an immaculate car matched to your needs, and a price agreed in advance, whether you want a car for an hour, a full day, or a single transfer. This guide explains the ways to hire, what is included, and what it costs.

Ways to Hire a Chauffeur
- By the hour, as directed. A car and driver at your disposal, four-hour minimum, ten miles per hour included. Best for meetings, shopping, sightseeing and events.
- By the journey. A fixed-price transfer from A to B, such as an airport run or a trip between cities.
- By the day. A full day with the same chauffeur, ideal for tours, events and packed schedules.

What is the difference between a chauffeur and a taxi?
A chauffeur is a professional driver assigned to you for the booking, in an immaculate car, at a price fixed in advance. There is no meter, the driver helps with luggage and doors, waits for you, and the same chauffeur can stay with you all day.
Can I hire the same chauffeur each time?
Yes, wherever possible, especially on an account. A regular, familiar chauffeur who knows your preferences is one of the main reasons clients choose to hire rather than use ride apps.
What vehicles can I choose from?
Saloons and 8-seaters, executive Mercedes E-Class and V-Class, the first-class S-Class, and luxury Range Rover, Bentley and Rolls-Royce on request. We match the car to your group, luggage and occasion.
