Cars & chauffeurs

Choose the arrangement, not the label.

A private transfer, a VIP service, hourly chauffeur hire and a self-drive rental solve different problems. These guides explain the commercial and practical distinctions so that you can compare actual requirements rather than vehicle photographs or an attractive headline price.

For a booked vehicle, define waiting, stops, luggage and essential access needs. For a rental, establish driver eligibility, permitted use, deposit handling and return responsibilities. In both cases, keep guaranteed inclusions separate from requests that depend on availability. A car that fits the party may still be the wrong booking model for the day. Begin with the comparison, then use the rental checklist when you are considering taking responsibility for the vehicle yourself.
