To many, the role of chauffeur in Mayfair or any other part of London looks an easy one – just drive around for a few hours, getting people from A to B. Almost like a glorified taxi service.
However, in reality, a chauffeur – especially one from the more upmarket parts of London, such as a chauffeur in Mayfair – needs several qualities, otherwise they simply won’t cut it.
But what qualities does a Mayfair chauffeur need? Take a look below to find out.
We expect every one of our chauffeurs in Mayfair and throughout London to look perfect, every time they turn up for work. They don’t need to look like Brad Pitt, but they do need to take pride in their appearance!
Dirty nails, unkempt beards, stubble – none of these are acceptable when it comes to our chauffeurs. After all, we offer a premium service to our clients, and we expect our chauffeurs to do everything they can to align with this.
It might not seem like it but being a chauffeur – especially a chauffeur in London, where nearly every road is busy – can be exceptionally stressful. Many simply wouldn’t be able to cope with the pressures of navigating the city to a deadline.
Our drivers are highly trained in navigating the busy streets of the capital, but they also have an important personal characteristic: they’re naturally calm. So, if they’re in a stressful situation, they’re able to think clearly and overcome the problem without the passenger ever knowing there was an issue.
A top chauffeur absolutely must be on time to every appointment – with no exceptions. We expect our chauffeurs to be ready and waiting as soon as their client steps out their house or hotel, even if the entire city is gridlocked.
This punctuality comes from an inherent ability to be prepared for all situations and plan accordingly. Our chauffeurs in Mayfair always know exactly what’s going on with traffic and how long they must leave to get to their pick-up point.
While our chauffeurs in Mayfair and other parts of London are assisted logistically by our office, they still need to be exceptionally organised. They should have everything that they possibly need for any eventuality, from cleaning products to spare tyres, just in case they’re needed throughout the day.
We also expect our chauffeurs to organise everything needed for a particular journey, from topping up the chilled water to providing any special requests from a client. Without the discipline to organise themselves perfectly, a Mayfair chauffeur will soon get a bad reputation.
Last, but certainly not least, the best chauffeurs in Mayfair must have impeccable driving skills. It’s not enough to just have a driving licence, as they need the skill to provide a perfectly smooth ride across London, in all types of traffic.
An average driver simply wouldn’t have the driving skills necessary to work for a Mayfair corporate chauffeur service – they wouldn’t be able to provide that perfectly smooth ride throughout. So, if you want to become a Mayfair executive chauffeur, concentrate on improving your driving straight away!
