You run the plan. We supply the vehicle and the chauffeur who works to it.
When a protection team needs cars and drivers, in London, Manchester or further afield, we provide them and then get out of the way. Your team leader gives the instructions. Our chauffeur follows them.

What usually goes wrong
The problems of hiring cars around a detail
- A driver who improvises, takes a shortcut nobody briefed, and separates from the rest of the movement
- Vehicle and driver details that arrive too late to be checked, or not at all, so a car cannot be cleared through a venue
- Drivers who want to know who the principal is, and who tell somebody afterwards
- A car that parks in the wrong place on arrival, in front of the doors you were trying to avoid
- Suppliers who will not take instructions from your team leader and want to run the journey their own way
- Late changes to timings or routes that the transport supplier cannot absorb because the car has gone to another job
How we work with protection teams
Transport, under your direction
We are a chauffeur company. We supply vehicles and chauffeurs. We do not supply protection, we do not advise on it, and we do not claim to. Where a client has a security team, that team owns the movement: the route, the timings, the arrival point, the waiting position, the order of vehicles and the decision to change any of it. Our chauffeur takes his instruction from your team leader for the duration, and not from anybody else, including the passenger.
Practically, that means we brief our chauffeur to your plan rather than to our own. Route information supplied in advance is passed to him and followed. Waiting positions are yours to set. If your team wants the car held on a particular street, facing a particular way, with the engine running or not, that is what happens. If a movement changes on the ground, the instruction comes from your team and we do not argue with it in the moment.
Details are supplied in advance for your own checks. Chauffeur name, vehicle make, model, colour and registration go to you as early as you need them, so that they can be run through whatever process your client or the venue requires and so the car can be cleared into a site before it arrives at the gate.
Discretion is standard for us rather than an extra. Chauffeurs do not photograph, do not post, do not ask who anybody is and do not discuss a movement afterwards, including with other clients. Journeys can be booked under a reference instead of a name, and we will sign a non-disclosure agreement before an assignment is described in any detail.
The division of responsibility
Clear about who does what
- Your teamOwns the movementPlanning, routes, timings, arrival and departure points, and every decision made on the ground.
- Our chauffeurDrives to that planHe follows your team leader's instructions for the duration of the assignment.
- Our deskHolds the logisticsVehicle allocation, changes, additional cars and anything that has to happen at short notice.
- Advance informationSupplied by usChauffeur name, vehicle details and registration in advance for your checks and site clearance.
We do not describe our chauffeurs as anything other than professional chauffeurs. Anything beyond that is a question to put to us directly rather than something we would claim on a website.
What we are asked for
Where a team uses us
Cars around a detail
One vehicle or several, held for the duration of a movement rather than booked leg by leg.
Airport and private terminal
Arrivals handled discreetly, and collection at the aircraft where the terminal permits.
Multiple vehicles
Several cars moving together in an order your team sets, with a single point of contact here.
Family movements
Partners, children and staff moved separately from the principal when that is what the plan calls for.
A regular chauffeur
The same face for a residency or a visit, held by the week or the month.
London, Manchester and beyond
Our own cars and chauffeurs in London and Manchester, and a trusted global network everywhere else.
What your team gets
The things a team leader asks for first
- Driver and vehicle details in advance, in writing, early enough to be checked and cleared
- A chauffeur who has been briefed to your plan before the day and who does not deviate from it
- Cars held for the duration of a movement rather than released between legs
- One coordinator, reachable at any hour, who can add a vehicle or change a timing without a chain of approvals
- Complete silence afterwards, with nothing discussed, posted or repeated
- An honest answer when something is outside what we provide, said plainly rather than fudged

Questions people ask
From security companies
Who is in charge of the movement?
Your team. Our chauffeur takes his instruction from your team leader and drives to your plan.
Can we have driver and vehicle details in advance?
Yes. Chauffeur name, vehicle make, model, colour and registration, as early as you need them for checks and site clearance.
Will your chauffeur follow a route we supply?
Yes. Route information supplied in advance is briefed to him and followed, and changes come from your team on the ground.
What training do your chauffeurs have?
They are professional chauffeurs. Anything beyond that is a question to ask us directly rather than something we will claim on a website.
Do you provide armoured vehicles?
Ask us about a specific requirement. We do not make claims about vehicle specification on the website.
Do you provide protection officers?
No. We supply vehicles and chauffeurs. The protection is yours.
Can the same chauffeur be used for a whole assignment?
Yes, and for anything running more than a day or two we would suggest it, so your team is briefing the same person each time.
