What does a private chauffeur do?

A private chauffeur works for one household or principal, not a car service. The job is about safety, timing and discretion: planning routes around traffic, driving the family and their guests, airport runs, school runs for the children, and keeping every vehicle clean, fueled, maintained and registered.

Some roles add errands and deliveries, which overlaps with a personal assistant or family assistant. Security drivers have additional defensive-driving and protection training.

Typical duties

How much do private chauffeurs make?

Private chauffeurs are paid hourly or on a salary, depending on the hours and whether the role is on call. Pay rises with experience driving high-profile clients, security or defensive-driving training, and travel between cities or homes.
