A Closer Look

So you’re ready for your chauffeur to drive you to the airport. They knock on your door, take your luggage and give you five minutes to say goodbye. All you have to do is to walk to the car. Now what should you expect of your driver?

A Chauffeur will open your door for you and open it correctly. The door should be opened before a passenger reaches the vehicle. The driver should stand heels-to-wheels (facing away from the car) and protect the passenger.

Protection is given by standing in one of two places: Either in front of the door or toward the rear of the car. Both of these places ensure the passenger can enter and exit with dignity – especially a lady. Next as you settle in to your seat, the driver should quietly close your door and walk round the rear of the car before they join you for the journey.

It is these subtle differences that set a chauffeur apart from regular drivers. It adds value to the service. In addition to the chauffeur’s etiquette, their driving should put you at ease and deliver a comfortable journey. After all that is what you pay for.
