What executive car hire covers

Executive car hire suits business days that a metered taxi cannot hold together: client meetings across the City and Canary Wharf, multi-stop roadshows, and airport pickups for visiting executives. You keep the same chauffeur for the whole booking, and the vehicle waits for you at each stop within the booked hours.

The executive fleet is built for working between meetings: Wi-Fi and charging in every car, privacy in the back of the S-Class, and space for luggage in the V-Class. Chauffeurs are vetted, briefed on the day, and hold the route rather than following a meter.

“Booked a ride last minute the night before to take me to and from the Royal Ascot. The car service made it very easy. I got to choose the time for pick up, it was a nice vehicle and great air conditioning. The driver, Tina, was very professional. It really took a lot of stress out of the day.”
