When a Family Needs a Family Driver
A family driver takes over all of the household's daily journeys: school runs and after-school activities, trips to doctors, shops and the airport, and travel between residences. Families most often come to us when they have school-age children, a busy schedule with several family members moving around the city at the same time, have recently relocated to a new country or own several cars and residences. It is not enough for a family to hire someone who simply drives well. They need a professional who can be trusted with children, knows the city and its alternative routes, keeps the cars in perfect condition and respects the privacy of the household. These are the drivers we select for private families around the world.
The driver takes children to school, clubs and sports sessions on schedule, waits for them, uses child seats correctly and keeps parents informed at every stage of the journey.
When parents, children and guests all need to be somewhere at the same time, a family driver plans the day, builds routes around traffic and makes sure no one is late.
In a new city a local family driver with international experience helps the family settle in: knows the roads, schools, clinics and airports and handles everyday errands.
For families with a fleet of cars or homes in different countries, the driver looks after every vehicle, arranges servicing and prepares transport before the family arrives.
