Royal Warrant. Industry recognition. The sustained commendation of private clients across forty-seven years.
A Royal Warrant of Appointment is among the most significant recognitions available to a British business. It is granted by a member of the Royal Family to companies that have supplied goods or services to the Royal Household for a sustained period at a standard that justifies the appointment. The Warrant is not purchased, not applied for in the conventional sense, and not permanent — it must be earned continuously.
Mayfair & City Carriages was granted its Royal Warrant in 1985, having provided private chauffeur services to the Royal Household since 1980. The Warrant has been renewed at each renewal period without interruption in the forty years since — a distinction that reflects not a single moment of excellence but an unbroken standard across four decades of service.
The Royal Arms appear on our vehicles and correspondence with the consent of the Household. We do not make claims beyond what the Warrant permits, and we regard the honour as a responsibility rather than a marketing asset.
Awarded to our senior chauffeur team in recognition of sustained excellence in client service, vehicle presentation, and professional conduct.
Recognition of the quality, breadth, and presentation standard of our forty-vehicle fleet, including the Heritage Collection.
Annual recognition from the Mayfair Business Association for outstanding contribution to the character and reputation of the Berkeley Square area.
Recognition of our corporate account programme — dedicated account management, monthly invoicing, and fleet management for multi-vehicle events.
For the preservation and continued active use of our Heritage Collection — including the 1962 Silver Cloud III and the vintage Bentley Continental.
Awarded posthumously to Sir Geoffrey Ashworth, in recognition of his founding contribution to the professional chauffeur industry in the United Kingdom.
"The standard has not changed in thirty years. I used Mayfair & City Carriages for my investiture in 1994. My son used them for his in 2023. The same quality of service, forty-seven years apart. That is the definition of a reliable institution."
— A long-standing private client"We have used Mayfair & City Carriages for every roadshow since 2008. The account management is impeccable — one call, everything arranged. They understand what we need before we articulate it."
— Head of Investor Relations, FTSE 100 Company"The chauffeur knew which entrance to use at Wimbledon before I told him. He knew my preferred route without being asked. He had chilled water ready. That is not service — that is anticipation. There is a difference."
