Some itineraries cannot be planned as a simple transfer. An as-directed chauffeur booking keeps the journey centred on your schedule, with the chauffeur available according to the agreed booking while you move between appointments and destinations.
THE SERVICE
An as-directed booking is designed around an agreed time period rather than one simple transfer. It can suit meetings, roadshows, events and personal schedules where the order or timing of stops may change. Known requirements and operational limits should still be confirmed in advance.
