What are the Duties of a Business Chauffeur?


13th September 2021

So, what are the duties of a business chauffeur? On the surface, this would seem like a fairly obvious answer: they drive, right? There’s more to it than that, though. Yes, your business chauffeur will drive you, but the service offers so much more than a nice car with someone behind the wheel.

Professionalism

A professional chauffeur carries skill, good judgement and courtesy across every aspect of their engagement with a client. This means arriving at the correct time, with the best route planned and all of the promised amenities awaiting in your car. Any difficulties on the journey will be navigated with calm competence, and you will be able to count on discretion, competence and reliability. When you travel with James Paige Executive, you will have discussed your requirements in advance, and your chauffeur will be at your service in whichever way is most helpful to you. 

 

Safety


To be driven is to place trust in someone else’s ability. A business chauffeur will have superb driving skills and an excellent safety record, allowing you to switch off from the traffic. You can instead use the time to rest or work, confident in arriving at your destination in a calm and timely manner, with the minimum of stress. You will also expect a certain standard of vehicle: all of James Paige Executive cars are late model saloons kept to the highest levels of safety and reliability.



Trust


If you are using your executive car as an office on the move or travelling with a business associate, you need it to be a secure space in which to make calls and discuss important matters. A professional chauffeur will hold discretion as their watchword and can be trusted implicitly. They will also be ready to adapt to your needs on the day: it may be that you need to be undisturbed on the journey, and your driver will respect this. If you would rather have a conversation, they will equally be ready to engage.



Adaptability


Whether it’s unexpected road or traffic conditions or a necessary change to your plans, sometimes a day doesn’t turn out as expected. An executive driver will be ready to adapt to changing circumstances with calmness and competence. Engaging a chauffeur for business takes the stress out of planning, in exchange gaining the assurance of a timely arrival.



Skill


Excellent driving skills are a given. You can add to this the abilities of staying calm whatever the situation and navigating with intelligence. A good business chauffeur will be attuned to your needs as the client, readily adapting in order to create the optimum atmosphere for your journey.



Appearance


Smartness, naturally. It’s usual for a business chauffeur to wear a suit and tie as standard. You may, however, prefer for your driver to be more casually dressed, in which case they will of course present a more relaxed appearance. This will have been arranged in advance and, whatever the look, your driver’s professionalism will remain in place.



Pride 


Your executive chauffeur will take pride in offering you the best service possible, in terms of both comfort and optimum efficiency. They will be prompt and aware, and their car will always be scrupulously clean with all promised amenities in place. When you travel with James Paige, these include Wi-Fi, phone charging points, a beverage of choice and a complimentary newspaper. 




Your business chauffeur is there to ensure that your day runs smoothly, in comfort, luxury and quietly-organised timeliness.
