Our Service

Our Private Chauffeur Service

Since 1978, we have served London's most discerning private clients — from the aristocratic families of Mayfair to the financial principals of the City. The service is bespoke by definition: tailored to you, your schedule, and your requirements.

Absolute Discretion

Our chauffeurs are trained in the art of invisible service. Non-disclosure agreements are available on request for high-profile clients. What travels in our vehicles, stays there.

Bespoke Routes

No fixed routes, no rigid timetables. We plan each journey to your preferences — your preferred roads, your regular stops, your timing. The more we know, the better we serve.

Home Counties & Beyond

London to the Cotswolds, Oxford, Cambridge, Bath, Surrey, Kent — and further. Our private chauffeur service extends as far as you require.

As-Directed Service

Hourly hire, full-day engagement, or a permanent arrangement — your chauffeur is at your disposal. For those with complex itineraries, we coordinate multiple vehicles.

The Home Counties & Beyond

Beyond London, our private chauffeur service covers the Home Counties with the same level of care: Surrey, Kent, Hertfordshire, Berkshire, Oxfordshire — and further afield to the Cotswolds, Bath, Cambridge, Oxford, Stratford-upon-Avon, Windsor, and the South Coast. For multi-day arrangements, we travel as far as Scotland, Wales, and the continent on request.

The Countryside

London to the Countryside

From 42 Berkeley Square, the English countryside is never more than an hour away. The Cotswolds — their honey-stone villages, their ancient market towns, their rolling hills — are 90 minutes by private car. Oxford is an hour. Windsor is 45 minutes. Bath is two hours.

Our day-trip service takes you from London in the morning and returns you to Mayfair in the evening. We know the best routes, the optimal timings, and the small details — the car park that is closest to the Bodleian, the approach to Blenheim that shows the Palace to best advantage — that transform a day trip into a genuinely memorable occasion.

The Experience

The Private Client Experience

Advance Notice or On Demand

Available with one hour's notice or pre-booked months in advance. For regular clients, we maintain standing arrangements — a car every Monday morning, a weekly airport run — with no need for repeated enquiry.

Personal Chauffeur Relationship

Regular clients often develop a relationship with a preferred chauffeur. Over time, your chauffeur learns your preferences — your preferred route, your usual stops, your requirements — without being asked.

Complete Privacy

What you discuss in our vehicles remains there. Our chauffeurs do not discuss their clients with anyone. Non-disclosure agreements are available for those whose requirements are more specific.

No Journey Too Complex

Multi-stop itineraries, multi-day engagements, multi-city arrangements — we coordinate every element. For those with genuinely complex requirements, a dedicated account manager is available.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a private chauffeur and a taxi?+

A private chauffeur from Mayfair & City Carriages is a uniformed professional in a luxury vehicle — pre-arranged, discreet, and trained to your requirements. There are no apps, no ratings, no shared journeys, and no surge pricing. The experience is categorically different.

Can I hire a chauffeur for the whole day?+

Yes — our as-directed daily rate places a chauffeur and vehicle at your complete disposal from morning to evening. Many of our private clients use this service for shopping days, medical appointments, social engagements, and business meetings that span the full day.

Do you serve Knightsbridge and Chelsea?+

Yes — we serve every prime London postcode. Our Berkeley Square address places us equidistant from Knightsbridge, Chelsea, Belgravia, and Kensington. For clients in these areas, we typically arrive within 15 minutes of a call.

Can you arrange a chauffeur from Mayfair to the Cotswolds?+

Yes — we arrange countryside day trips regularly. London to the Cotswolds is approximately 90 minutes by private car. We can plan a full day's itinerary — villages, lunch, afternoon visits — and return you to Mayfair in the evening.

How discreet is your service?+

Absolute discretion is the foundation of our private client service. Our chauffeurs are trained in confidentiality, and non-disclosure agreements are available on request. We do not discuss our clients with anyone, under any circumstances.
