Find a Chauffeur
Find a Professional Chauffeur You Can Rely On
We understand that finding a chauffeur who you can trust can be a personal choice, and we’re here to guide you through the process.
Our team takes the time to learn about your preferences and requirements, helping you find a chauffeur who brings professionalism, reliability, and a touch of luxury to your daily travels.
What Types Of Chauffeurs Can We Help You Hire?
- Full-time chauffeurs for daily household travel and ongoing support
- Part-time chauffeurs for school runs and regular appointments
- Live-in chauffeurs for households requiring flexibility
- Family chauffeurs focused on school schedules and children’s transport
- Corporate chauffeurs for business travel and professional use
- Event chauffeurs for evenings, hosting, and special occasions
- Temporary chauffeurs for short-term cover or busy periods
- Security-trained chauffeurs for clients requiring additional discretion
For many households, a private chauffeur provides far more than transport. They offer reliability, flexibility, and valuable time back in the day, allowing families to manage busy schedules with ease.
When Should You Hire A Chauffeur?
- When busy schedules make regular driving and travel difficult to manage
- When school runs, appointments, and family logistics become demanding
- When frequent airport transfers or long-distance travel are required
- When discretion and privacy during travel are important
- When professional driving support is needed for events or entertaining
- When travel between multiple homes or properties is frequent
- When flexibility and availability outside standard hours are required
- When maintaining smooth daily routines and schedules becomes increasingly important
A Chauffeur can be especially valuable for busy professionals, family households, and private estates requiring reliable long-term transportation support. Having a trusted driver allows households to travel comfortably, efficiently, and with greater peace of mind.
How Much Does A Chauffeur Cost In The UK?
Chauffeur salaries in the UK commonly range from £40,000 to £80,000+ gross per year depending on experience, working hours, flexibility, and travel requirements. Salaries are often higher for formal households, extensive travel schedules, security-trained drivers, or roles involving multiple properties and out-of-hours availability.
Many Chauffeur packages may also include bonuses, pension contributions, accommodation for live-in roles, use of a vehicle, and additional benefits depending on the household’s requirements. Families requiring discretion, flexibility, and exceptional service standards should generally expect to offer enhanced salary packages to attract experienced candidates.
What Is The Difference Between A Chauffeur And Driver?
A Chauffeur typically provides a more professional and service-focused role than a standard driver. In addition to transportation, Chauffeurs often manage vehicle presentation, travel logistics, route planning, and client comfort while maintaining high levels of discretion and professionalism.
Many private households prefer experienced Chauffeurs because the role offers greater reliability, flexibility, and tailored support. Successful placements depend on finding someone whose professionalism, communication style, and experience align naturally with the household’s lifestyle.

Our Approach to Discretion
Recruiting for a private home or estate is personal, and we treat every search with the confidentiality it deserves. We handle each stage discreetly, share only what is necessary, and never outsource candidate screening or reference checks. Your search is managed sensitively, professionally and quietly.
Our Local Expertise
We specialise in private household recruitment across Berkshire and the surrounding counties, with a strong understanding of local salaries, candidate availability and household expectations. This allows us to offer realistic advice and introduce candidates who are genuinely suited to the role, location and lifestyle.
Our Recruitment Process
Every search is personally managed from enquiry through to placement. We take time to understand the role, carefully screen candidates, and ensure expectations are clear on both sides. Before any placement is confirmed, we carry out thorough reference checks directly, verify right-to-work documentation, and ensure all parties are fully informed before proceeding.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you recruit for temporary, permanent, and live-in roles?
Yes. We support full-time, part-time, live-in, live-out, temporary cover, and seasonal staffing depending on your household or estate’s needs.
What types of domestic staff do you place?
We recruit for a wide range of roles including housekeepers, nannies, gardeners, estate workers, domestic couples, chefs, chauffeurs, and household support staff.
Are candidates DBS checked?
Many of our candidates already hold a recent DBS certificate. If a new check is required, we can arrange this as part of the recruitment process.
How do you screen candidates?
Before any placement is finalised, we complete right-to-work checks, detailed reference checks, and have thorough conversations with each candidate about their experience, expectations, and suitability.
Do you work outside of Berkshire?
Yes. Berkshire is our home and where many of our lovely clients are based, but referrals from happy clients naturally take us further afield, often to neighbours across county borders. Many of the families we support also have homes in London, the countryside, or overseas, and we help them staff those properties too. We are also frequently recommended to friends, family members and professional contacts across the UK.
Our recruitment process is solid, consistent and works wherever you are, so we are confident supporting clients across the country and beyond.
How long does the recruitment process take?
This varies depending on the role, but we can finalise most placements within 2 months while maintaining high standards of vetting and discretion.

We take the time to listen, understand what matters to you, and offer honest, practical advice throughout the process. Our aim is to introduce candidates who meet your expectations for professionalism, discretion, and trust.
