Chauffeur service versus an ordinary driver
An ordinary driver gets you there. A chauffeur manages the journey: he confirms the schedule the night before, checks the route for closures, is waiting when you step out rather than arriving when you call, opens the door, handles bags, and keeps the cabin quiet and cool. If you are hosting a client or a parent, that difference is visible to them.
Hourly and daily chauffeur hire
Hourly hire suits a board meeting, a hospital appointment or an evening function - the chauffeur waits and remains at your disposal. Daily hire suits a day of client visits, house viewings or shopping across Colombo, with unlimited stops inside the agreed hours. Both are booked the same way, on WhatsApp, with the price fixed before dispatch.
Weekly and monthly chauffeur arrangements
Households and companies keep a chauffeur on a standing weekly or monthly arrangement: office drop at 7:30, school pickup at 1:30, evening errands, weekend family runs. You get the same chauffeur, who learns the routes, the gate codes and the preferences - without the recruitment, payroll and leave-cover burden of employing one.
Prestige and unfamiliar vehicles
Chauffeurs assigned to premium sedans and large SUVs are matched to the vehicle, not just to the job. Tell us the make and gearbox when you book. For imported cars with unusual controls, allow a few extra minutes at pickup for the chauffeur to familiarise himself before moving off.
