This article is dedicated to those looking to hire a personal driver.
Driving can be enjoyable, but there are times when it’s simply not practical. Whether it’s the practicalities of running and maintaining your own car, or the time spent behind the wheel, there are many times when it’s not the preferable option.
This doesn’t mean you have to give up on the convenience of travelling by car. Hiring a personal driver can be the solution, providing all the advantages without any of the drawbacks.
But what can you expect from a personal driver? Aside from safe and smooth driving, here’s what you should expect.
What to Expect from Your Personal Driver?
1. Discretion
There are many reasons why you may want to use a personal driver. They’re a great choice for holiday excursions, but personal drivers can also be useful for business trips and getting to meetings.
This means your driver may overhear some sensitive information, especially if you’re travelling with a colleague or making phone calls. You could even be visiting confidential locations, which you’d rather weren’t public knowledge.
No matter what the reason for your trip, you can trust your personal driver to be the soul of discretion. They won’t disclose anything they see or hear to other people; their job is to simply ensure you arrive safely and on time.
2. Flexibility
As well as having someone to drive you around, there may be occasions when an extra pair of hands would be really useful. Whether it’s to drop off documents while you’re in a meeting or simply grabbing you a latte, a bit of help can be a godsend.
Some personal drivers offer more than a simple transport service and will be willing to run errands as required. They might pick up the kids from school, go to the dry cleaners and many other tasks throughout the day, often working alongside your other personal staff.
3. Protection
You don’t need to be an underworld mafioso or the queen of England to require a bit of extra security when you travel. Although it won’t apply in every case, some personal driver can also double up to provide protection.
You’ll need to specifically request this when seeking a personal driver, but it’s not unusual for a company to provide personal drivers who offer security services.
Some even have a military background, giving them expert knowledge to identify and managing any threats, ensuring you are safe at all times.
4. Professionalism
Hiring a personal driver is very different from jumping in a taxi. This is a luxury service which should be professional from engine on to engine off, including both the driver and the car.
Your driver’s appearance should also meet certain standards. As another face of your company o family, they will dress to impress.
