Commission No. I

The Chauffeur

For executives, delegations and private clients who need the movement part of the day to disappear entirely.

Most days begin at an address in Amsterdam, The Hague, or somewhere quieter in between. Where the day goes from there is the day’s business — an office, Schiphol, another country.

A car, a chauffeur and a brief — or a chauffeur for the car you already own.

Both are the same commission at different scale. The chauffeur is briefed by name, the vehicle presented the night before, and the timings written against the day rather than the distance.

The chauffeur

Dark suit and tie, dark shoes, dark socks. In the background unless you want otherwise. Doors are opened, luggage is taken from you, an umbrella appears before you are wet. On hourly work the chauffeur stays with the car rather than following you in.

Behind the manner sits the training. Executive work is driven at CCV-D1 or CCV-D2, protective work at security driver D3, and D4 where the vehicle is armoured. A chauffeur's licence where the vehicle calls for one. VOG, BHV and EHBO throughout.

All of it is amendable. Tell us how you prefer the day to look and it is written into the brief.

Notice

A day is usually enough for a transfer. Roadshows want longer, and delegations longer still — not because a car is hard to find, but because the expectations around them take time to set properly.

Executive transfer

Airport · Office · Residence

Flights are tracked, so an early landing or a long delay changes nothing at your end — a back-up chauffeur is held ready either way. You are met inside the terminal, not at a kerb. Waiting time of sixty minutes runs from touchdown.

Roadshow & multi-day

One chauffeur throughout

Several cities in a day: collected from the airport, held between meetings, returned to the airport at the end of it. On multi-day work abroad the chauffeur stays in a hotel nearby while the assignment runs. Where the day ends abroad and driving hours allow, the car is brought home rather than left.

Delegations & dignitaries

Convoy, briefed

Convoy work is regular rather than exceptional. Movements are planned with your own security team, with a team you have engaged, or simply to your preference. Our chauffeurs are trained in protection and security; they are not close-protection officers, and we do not present them as such. Where protection is needed, we introduce specialists we work with.

Events & premieres

Arrival timed to the door

The car either waits at the door or holds nearby and returns on call, whichever suits the evening. Arrival is timed rather than approximate.

Your own vehicle

Driven, not borrowed

Your car, driven to the same standard and returned as it left. Handover at the residence or the office.

Commission No. I

In the background unless you want otherwise.

Arrangement A

Chauffeur and vehicle

A prepared car from the fleet with a dedicated chauffeur. Presentation, comfort and timing are ours to answer for.

  • —Vehicle prepared and presented ahead of time
  • —Named chauffeur, briefed on the party — Dutch and English as standard
  • —Water, connectivity, silence on request
Arrangement B

Chauffeur for your car

For clients who prefer their own vehicle. Yours is driven with care and returned as it left.

  • —Familiar cabin, no adjustment required
  • —Chauffeurs experienced with marque and collection cars
  • —Discreet handover at residence or office

Your car stays on your own policy, and that cover answers for the driving itself — third parties and the vehicle alike. The smaller things that happen away from the road, a door opened into a wall or a case set down against the rear bumper, are ours to put right.
