Why Hire a Driver in London With Us?
We complete the most extensive background checks in the industry, including references, fine defaults, driving licence history, various registers, judgments, DBS, home country records and more. Our experience of interviewing hundreds of candidates provides us with an edge to read people better than anyone else.
We offer all our customers up to a one-year agency guarantee. This means that for every placement we make, we will offer a free replacement within one full calendar year. This also means we will not just push you to hire irrelevant candidates, but we actually stand by the candidates we recommend. By working with us, you will benefit from the most extensive candidate vetting in the industry!
You will only get charged in the case of a successful placement – and nothing is paid in advance! This means no agency signup fee and no trial fee.
Most of the hospitality recruitment agencies just post an ad and they’re done. If they get applicants, great, otherwise tough luck. However, we’re actively approaching and contacting potential candidates in various groups, websites, boards and through word of mouth. We also laser-target ads on social networks. And since we only do permanent roles, we have a very good pool of candidates.
Since we work with high-profile customers, all our clients benefit from legally binding confidentiality. The candidates will sign an NDA and will not know the name of our client until you select them for the interview.
We know that the more people you try, the higher the success rate. That’s why we will only charge you when you hire someone, not also when you trial candidates.

Budgeting For Hiring a Driver in London
Typically, professional drivers in London command a yearly salary between £40,000 and £55,000. Those with greater experience or a background in security might anticipate a yearly income of over £60,000. Nonetheless, various factors determine the final compensation, and that’s why we’re committed to helping you find a chauffeur tailored to your budget and way of life.
Additionally, it’s important to account for the employer’s National Insurance contributions, adding approximately 10% to the total compensation.
Consideration For Hiring a Driver In London
Contractual Details: Clearly outline specifics such as working hours, roles, salary, holidays, travel requirements, living arrangements, bonus structures, and other benefits.
Additional Duties: Consider whether you’d like the driver to undertake tasks often associated with a personal assistant.
Extended Journeys: Are you seeking a driver for more extended travel? If so, clarify the terms related to these expeditions.
Child Transport Responsibilities: Will the driver be tasked with transporting your children to school or other engagements?
Vehicle Expertise: Is there a need for experience in handling a specific kind of vehicle?
Security Expertise: Should the driver have specialized security training?
Local Knowledge: It’s crucial for the driver to be well-versed with local routes, important landmarks, and traffic regulations, especially if there are destinations you visit regularly.
Schedule Flexibility: Evaluate their readiness to adapt, especially if you require their services during unconventional hours or extended periods.
Insurance Coverage: Confirm if your vehicle insurance is comprehensive enough to cover other drivers, particularly when they use your personal vehicle. Also, ensure the driver has individual liability coverage.
Emergency Preparedness: The driver should possess foundational training or understanding of first aid and emergency response measures for unforeseen events.
Vehicle Upkeep: Should you expect the driver to handle primary vehicle maintenance tasks like cleaning and regular check-ups, this expectation should be established and agreed upon from the outset.

Testimonials
We literally harrased Irene with our requirements and a sudden change of plans on our side and we would like to thank her for the patience she had for coping with us. With her help, we successfully replaced two employees in record time! Employee turnover is no longer a source of stress, for us. Highly recommended!
