When a Family Needs a Personal Driver
A personal driver works for one principal or a couple and adapts entirely to their business and private schedule: meetings, flights, restaurants, events and weekend trips. Clients most often come to us when the owner of the family travels a lot, spends every day in business meetings, lives between several countries or owns an executive car that requires a professional behind the wheel. A personal driver is not just a chauffeur. It is a trusted person who knows the principal's habits, is always on time, keeps the car in showroom condition and never discusses routes, conversations or guests. These are the drivers we select for private clients worldwide.
The driver plans the day together with the assistant, waits at meetings, reacts quickly to changes and makes sure the principal arrives on time and in comfort.
Meeting and seeing off at airports and private terminals, handling luggage and coordinating with the crew, concierge and hotels.
For clients who spend seasons in different cities we find drivers who know the local roads and are ready to travel with the principal.
Mercedes-Maybach, Rolls-Royce, Bentley or armoured vehicles require experience, a smooth driving style and flawless care of the car.

Personal driver attuned to your pace
Finding a trusted personal driver on your own involves significant security risks and lost time. Royal Keeper takes on the full burden of multi-stage verification, presenting only vetted, high-caliber chauffeurs.
Hiring through classifieds or open channels leaves you vulnerable to unverified driving histories, fake recommendations, and non-disclosure breaches. We eliminate these threats through rigorous legal, background, and medical background checks.

Screening hundreds of resumes and conducting endless preliminary interviews requires dozens of hours. Royal Keeper filters out up to 98% of unsuitable applicants, presenting only top candidates ready for an immediate start.
A driver gains complete visibility into your routes, meetings, and time. While independent hires offer no privacy assurance, all our candidates sign strict, legally binding Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA).
If an independent hire turns out to be a poor fit or suddenly resigns, you have to restart the search from scratch. Royal Keeper provides formal contractual guarantees and instantly supplies a vetted replacement without extra costs.
Independent search carries unseen security and operational risks. Royal Keeper handles the entire process so you can focus on your life, not on candidate screening.
