Corporate Chauffeur Service for London Businesses
How a Corporate Chauffeur Account Works
A corporate chauffeur service (business chauffeur hire on account) supplies a company with licensed drivers and executive cars under one commercial agreement rather than a string of one-off bookings. Barons Transport runs this arrangement for more than 100 London businesses and holds an on-time record of 99.7% across every account journey.
The account changes the paperwork, not the vehicle. Fares stay fixed at the quoted figure, with daily executive commutes from £85 and airport-to-office transfers from £95, and each trip lands on a single monthly invoice instead of somebody’s personal card. Travel managers see every journey in one portal. Assistants book directly, without routing each request through one gatekeeper.
Every chauffeur holds a private hire licence issued by Transport for London and a current DBS record, both kept on file for account holders. Dispatch runs 24 hours a day, and account work is assigned ahead of pay-as-you-go bookings when demand peaks.
Corporate travel in London follows four patterns: the C-suite commute, the inbound executive from Heathrow or London City, the investor roadshow across the Square Mile and Canary Wharf, and the multi-vehicle company event. This page covers those journey types, what finance teams look for in corporate chauffeur hire, how delegations and conferences are coordinated, the districts and airports served, everything an account includes, the four steps to open one, and the questions companies ask before they sign.

What Corporate Clients Say
Corporate Chauffeur Service FAQs
What does a corporate chauffeur account cover?
Every journey type Barons runs: executive commutes, airport transfers, roadshows and events, billed together. The cars and fares match a standard booking; the account adds consolidated invoicing, portal access and dispatch priority.
Is there a minimum spend to open an account?
No. Accounts open on the travel pattern alone, and most are live within one working day of the first call.
How much does corporate chauffeur hire cost in London?
Executive commutes start at £85 and airport-to-office transfers at £95, both fixed. Roadshows and events are quoted per brief, because vehicle count and hours held move the price more than mileage does.
Do account fares include the Congestion Charge and ULEZ?
Yes, along with parking. Both charges sit inside the quoted fare, so there’s nothing to reconcile separately at month end.
Which London airports are covered on account?
Six: Heathrow, London City, Gatwick, Luton, Stansted and Farnborough. Meet and greet and flight tracking apply on each, and waiting is measured from landing.
Can several assistants book on the same account?
Yes. The portal accepts unlimited users, and every booking is recorded against the account where the travel manager can see it.
Corporate account or pay as you go, which do we need?
An account pays off once more than one person travels or more than one journey a month is booked. Below that threshold pay as you go is simpler; above it, processing expense claims costs more staff time than the travel itself.
Is a chauffeur account faster than a ride-hailing app for executive travel?
On a pre-booked schedule, yes. The car is allocated in advance and account bookings are placed ahead of pay-as-you-go work at peak times, whereas app availability at 18:00 depends on which drivers happen to be nearby.
Are your chauffeurs licensed and vetted?
Yes. Each holds a Transport for London private hire licence and a DBS record, and account holders can request copies of both at any time.
Business Chauffeur Hire on One Account, One Invoice
A corporate chauffeur service on account puts a company’s executive cars and licensed drivers under one commercial agreement, with fares fixed at the quoted figure and every trip on a single monthly invoice. Four journey types run on it: commutes, airport transfers, roadshows and events. Finance teams get consolidated invoicing, a named account executive, dispatch priority and compliance records. Delegations, conferences and away days move on one rota, and coverage spans the Square Mile, Mayfair, six airports and regional offices, with Congestion Charge, ULEZ and parking inside each fare and no surcharge for nights, weekends or bank holidays. Opening takes four steps, one working day and no minimum spend.
More than 100 London businesses already run one at a 99.7% on-time record. Open yours through the contact page, or send the itinerary for your next roadshow or event and we’ll price it as one engagement.
