Personal Driver and Chauffeur Hire in London
One Trusted Driver for Every Journey
Some journeys deserve more than a one-off ride. A personal driver in London with First Class Chauffeurs gives you your own discreet, professional chauffeur — for a single day, a busy week, or on a regular basis — so getting where you need to be is never something you have to think about.
Since 2016 we have looked after busy executives, families and discerning travellers across the capital, pairing each client with a TfL-licensed, DBS-checked private driver and a car to match: a Mercedes-Benz S-Class, the all-electric BMW i7, a spacious V-Class or a commanding Range Rover Autobiography.
Every journey is fully inclusive — VAT, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge are all covered, with no hidden extras — and our clients rate us 4.9 on Trustpilot.
Your Private Driver in London
A personal driver in London is simply your own chauffeur, on your terms. Whether you live in Belgravia, Kensington or anywhere across the capital, the same familiar private driver handles school runs, business meetings, lunches, medical appointments, shopping, evening engagements and weekend escapes — all in comfort and complete privacy. No parking, no traffic stress, no waiting for a taxi: just one trusted driver who learns your routine and your preferences.
A Service Built Around Your Day
Hire your private driver by the hour, for a half or full day, or as an ongoing arrangement — and if you simply need a car and driver in London for a one-off occasion, that works too. The same service covers airport transfers, corporate travel, special occasions and London sightseeing, and extends well beyond the city for longer trips such as London to Paris. Whatever the day holds, your driver adapts around it.
Your Driver
Every First Class driver is more than someone behind the wheel. They are TfL-licensed and DBS-checked, NDA-bound for absolute discretion, and arrive early as standard. They know London's roads, shortcuts and quiet entrances, and carry themselves with the etiquette expected around high-profile clients. Meet the people behind the wheel on our chauffeurs page.
The Fleet
Choose the car that suits you. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is the definitive executive saloon; the all-electric BMW i7 pairs the same presence with a greener drive; the Mercedes-Benz V-Class offers space for family or luggage; and the Range Rover Autobiography brings commanding comfort. For lower-emission travel throughout, see our Eco Chauffeur service.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a personal driver cost in London?
Personal driver hire starts from £200 for a half day (four hours) in a Mercedes-Benz E-Class and £300 in an S-Class, with full days from £450. The final price depends on the car, the hours and your location, and always includes VAT, ULEZ and the Congestion Charge.
Is a personal driver the same as a chauffeur?
In practice, yes — a personal driver and a chauffeur both mean a professional who drives you in a dedicated car service. Our private drivers are TfL-licensed, DBS-checked and trained in discretion, so you get the polish of a chauffeur with the familiarity of your own driver.
Can I book the same driver every time?
Yes. We assign a consistent personal driver subject to availability, so you build a relationship with someone who learns your routine, your preferences and the places you visit most.
Can I hire a car and driver by the hour or for the whole day?
Both. Book by the hour with a four-hour minimum, take a discounted half or full day, or set up an ongoing arrangement for regular travel.
Which areas do you cover?
All of London and the surrounding Home Counties, with longer journeys across the UK and to Europe available on request.
