A driver vs a chauffeur

Whilst it might seem like a chauffeur is just the same as a taxi driver, the two are completely different. Whilst both will collect and take you to the destination you require, the service you receive will be completely different.

Understanding about the difference between chauffeur drivers and taxi drivers, will help you to make a more informed decision about the type of service you want to choose.

Here we go through a number of the main things that that both services provide and how they differ from each other.

Different level of service

Taxi drivers are there to get the job done, their job exists to get you from A to B and back again if necessary. A driver will arrive when they are required to and will take you in a vehicle that is most likely their own. Whereas a chauffeur driver is more than just a person behind the wheel, s/he’s a professional who’ll ensure you arrive on time and in a vehicle that represents you.

When you choose a professional chauffeur, he will assist with luggage to & from the building for you. They’ll also provide a friendly and professional meet and greet service, that’s tailored around the chauffeur service you require. Our  chauffeurs will be able to provide you with advice about the best things to see and do in the city you’re travelling in.

Training

Most taxi drivers will undergo initial training, and this is designed to ensure they are competent at driving and can provide a basic level of service to their customers. Once they have their driver license, they are free to provide taxi services as they see fit.

Chauffeurs undergo extensive training before they even go out on the road. Most chauffeurs will undergo extensive training that focuses on providing a high level of service as well as professional and safe driving, all of our chauffeur drivers undergo thorough training to ensure they provide a high level of customer service to our clients.

Pride in their work

A taxi driver is there to do a job and once they’ve completed that job they’ll move onto the next one. The thing about taxi drivers is they are likely to be motivated by money and they’ll take any type of job and move on to the next one as quickly as they can.

When you choose a chauffeur service, you’ll receive the level of service that you pay for. Chauffeurs take pride in their work and the jobs he or she undertakes. Our chauffeurs are all smartly dressed. Taking pride in their work they’ll ensure that the highest level of service is provided to ensure your expectations are not only met but exceeded.

Choice of vehicles

When you order a taxi you’re not going to know what vehicle is going to turn up. Imagine going to a professional business meeting and turning up in a 16 seater minibus. Will the vehicle you receive as part of a taxi service, really represent you and the requirements you need it for?

Our clients are able to choose from a range of executive and luxury vehicles when they choose us for our chauffeur services. All of our vehicles are modern and cleaned thoroughly before use to ensure our clients receive a high standard of vehicle. Whether you’re on a business trip or you need vehicles for your wedding day, we have a great selection of vehicles to choose from.

As a frequent user of business travel services, the service provided by Simply Driven is outstanding and far above that previously experienced.

Unprecedented level of service provided for our company and employees, Simply Driven were selected as sole provider for all of our transportation needs for a large corporate meeting which was held recently in the Midlands.

Their services included complete co-ordination of the delegates from multiple airports throughout the UK, monitoring flight status, flawless communication with each traveller and chauffering them in safe executive luxury vehicles, to the Meeting Venue in Derby.

Each of the delegates provided positive feedback including “very polite”, “great communication”, “extremely courteous”, “I felt very safe”, “nothing was too much trouble”

Throughout the week they also provided executive coach and car transfers for all of our international delegates, always prompt and consistently catering for the needs of the individuals, including the coordination of personal trips.

I would without hesitation recommend the service of Simply Driven for both Corporate and Personal executive transfer services.
