Private Chauffeur at Your Disposal in Paris
Keep the same English-speaking chauffeur and the same car for the hours you need, across Paris and the whole of France, with the itinerary entirely in your hands.
Some days do not fit a single pick-up and drop-off. You have a run of meetings across the city, an afternoon of shopping between the Golden Triangle and Saint-Honore, a family exploring Paris at its own pace, or a full day out to Champagne. For those days you do not want a series of separate transfers. You want one private chauffeur and one car, reserved for you, waiting between each stop, for as long as you need.
Signature Prestige offers a chauffeur at your disposal across Paris and the whole of France: you keep the same English-speaking professional driver and the same vehicle for a block of time, and the itinerary stays entirely in your hands. It is hourly, chauffeur-driven ground transportation for the days that have several moving parts.
What a chauffeur at your disposal actually means
Hiring a chauffeur by the hour works differently from a point-to-point transfer. A transfer takes you from A to B and ends. A chauffeur at your disposal, also known in the industry as as-directed service, is dedicated to you for the hours you book: they drive you, wait while you are in a meeting or a boutique, hold your bags and coats, and are ready the moment you step back out. Because you have reserved the chauffeur’s time rather than a single route, your plans can change through the day without a new booking each time.
This is the chauffeur service executives, private clients and families reach for when the day has several stops and the last thing they want to manage is the car service between them.
How it works
You book a chauffeur and car by the hour, on an as-directed basis, from a four-hour minimum, then by the half-day or the full day. You tell us the start time and pick-up point; the rest of the day is yours to shape. The professional driver follows your lead, adjusts to overruns and last-minute changes, and knows Paris well enough to route around a closure or an event you never hear about. If the day runs longer than planned, we extend the booking where the schedule allows.
A typical day at your disposal
A booking might begin with a morning collection from Charles de Gaulle or Orly, your luggage stowed in the sedan and a first meeting reached without a taxi queue. Late morning is given to the boutiques near the Champs-Elysees, where the chauffeur waits and holds the bags. Lunch runs long, and it costs you nothing extra, because the car is already yours for the day. The afternoon turns into a day trip to Versailles or along the Champagne road, the same private driver at the wheel, and the evening ends at a gala before a calm run home. One chauffeur, one booking, no gaps between the moments that matter.
Start and end the day anywhere
A day at your disposal often begins the moment you land. Your chauffeur can collect you as an airport transfer from Charles de Gaulle (CDG), Orly or the private terminals at Le Bourget, or from the Paris train stations, then stay with you for the hours that follow rather than dropping you and leaving. The same works in reverse: a full day in the city or the countryside that ends with a calm run back to CDG, Orly or the Gare du Nord, with luggage already in the car and no last-minute scramble.
Who it is for
Business days and roadshows
For a run of point-to-point meetings in La Defense, an investor roadshow or a working day across several sites, an executive chauffeur at your disposal keeps you on time through the whole business trip and unbothered by logistics. For structured corporate accounts, see our corporate services.
Shopping, appointments and personal days
Move between boutiques, galleries and appointments without hunting for taxis or carrying purchases through the metro. Your chauffeur keeps everything in the car and brings it to the door of the next stop.
Private tours and days out
Spend the day sightseeing from the Eiffel Tower to the Louvre and the Marais, or head out to the Palace of Versailles, the Champagne houses of Reims and Epernay, Giverny, the Loire valley or Disneyland Paris, with a driver in Paris who handles the route while you enjoy it. For a guided city tour or a day trip from Paris, pair the service with our private tours.
Events and celebrations
A gala, a fashion-week schedule, a family occasion or a wedding: a car held for the whole event means no waiting for a ride between venues, and no rush at the end of the night.
A fleet chosen for comfort through a long day
Your day is spent in the car as much as out of it, so the vehicle matters. Our fleet ranges from recent-model executive Mercedes sedans to a luxury minivan and limousine-class cars, so the vehicle matches the day. A sedan suits one to three passengers travelling light; a luxury minivan carries larger groups, families or a day’s worth of shopping and luggage in the same comfort. It is a private car service and, when the occasion calls for it, a limousine service, from a single booking. Every car is a quiet, private space in which to work, rest or plan the next stop.

How to book a chauffeur at your disposal
Tell us the date, the start time, the pick-up point and a rough sense of the day, along with the number of passengers. We confirm the chauffeur, the car and the hours in advance. To guarantee a chauffeur and prepare the day properly, every booking is made for a minimum of four hours and at least four hours before the start time; for full days and trips outside Paris, earlier is always better.
Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum booking for a chauffeur at your disposal?
The minimum is four hours. From there you can book by the half-day or the full day, and we extend the booking where the schedule allows if the day runs longer than planned.
Can I change the itinerary during the day?
Yes. That is the point of the service: the chauffeur and car are dedicated to you, so you can add a stop, change the order or adjust timing as the day unfolds.
Do I keep the same chauffeur all day?
Yes. You have the same English-speaking chauffeur and the same vehicle for the whole booking, which means they know your plan and there is no repeating yourself.
Can the day start with an airport transfer?
Yes. The chauffeur can collect you from Charles de Gaulle, Orly or a Paris train station and stay at your disposal for the rest of the day, then return you at the end.
Can the chauffeur take me outside Paris for the day?
Yes. Beyond Paris and Ile-de-France, we arrange full days to Champagne, Versailles, Giverny, the Loire and the Normandy coast, and further afield across France and to European cities.
How far in advance should I book?
At least four hours before the start time, and earlier for full days, events and trips outside Paris so we can assign the right chauffeur and prepare the route.
