Who is a private chauffeur for, and when should you book one?

Travelling with children often means managing luggage, a pushchair and departure times all at once. A chauffeur-driven van keeps everyone together, whether you are travelling from home to the airport, from the station to your hotel or to Disneyland Paris. The vehicle is chosen to suit both your passengers and your luggage.

When booking, tell us the children’s ages and which child seats you need. Mention any pushchair or bulky luggage too, so our team can confirm the right equipment and vehicle configuration before you travel.

After a flight or train journey, meeting a chauffeur on arrival lets you travel straight to your hotel, home or appointment. Benzo arranges transfers from Paris-CDG, Orly and Le Bourget airports, as well as from Paris railway stations.

At CDG and Orly, your chauffeur meets you inside the terminal with a name sign; at a railway station, the meeting point is at the end of the platform, by the train. Your flight or train number helps us plan the pick-up. During your stay, you can arrange further transfers or book a chauffeur by the hour for sightseeing and outings.

A first meeting in La Défense, lunch in Paris and then a train to catch: when your day has several stops, having a chauffeur means you do not need to arrange each journey separately. An hourly service suits meetings, roadshows and working days across multiple locations.

You can also book for an executive, a colleague or a visiting client. For a conference, trade show or team trip, several vehicles can be arranged around different arrivals and schedules. Send us the programme, passenger contact details and billing information with your enquiry.

A dinner, a show, a birthday or a wedding can all be occasions to book a private chauffeur. With the addresses and times arranged, you can enjoy your outing without driving or looking for parking. Your return journey can be booked at the same time.

For a shopping day taking in Avenue Montaigne, Rue Saint-Honoré and the department stores, an hourly chauffeur service takes you between stops. If you are unsure when you will finish, mention this when requesting a quote so the booked duration and any extension terms can be agreed in advance.

You can also arrange a day in Versailles, a visit to Giverny or a weekend in Normandy. Travel with your family or friends from your chosen address in a vehicle suited to your group. Depending on your plans, book a one-way journey, a return trip or a chauffeur who stays at your disposal throughout the outing.

For a long-distance journey from Paris, tell us which stops you would like and how you plan to return. Admission tickets and any tours are arranged separately from transport, according to the agreed itinerary.

For a journey between two addresses at a scheduled time, choose a transfer. You can book a single trip whenever you need one. If you want the vehicle and chauffeur to remain with you between stops, choose an hourly service.

Benzo’s hourly service starts at 3 hours and includes 20 kilometres per booked hour. It can be arranged over several days for a holiday or business itinerary. Share your planned journeys so the quote covers the time and distance you need.

Your passenger numbers, luggage and preferred level of comfort help determine which of our three vehicle categories to choose:

• E-Class: a saloon for transfers and business travel, carrying up to 3 passengers and 2 suitcases.
• S-Class: extra rear-seat comfort for a stay, an appointment or a special occasion, carrying up to 3 passengers and 2 suitcases.
• V-Class: a van for families and groups, carrying up to 7 passengers and 7 suitcases. Capacity must be confirmed based on luggage size, pushchairs and child seats.

The price depends on the journey, vehicle, schedule and service you choose. An airport transfer, a day of meetings and an excursion with waiting time are different services. Your quote sets out the price and what is included before you confirm your booking.

1. Provide the date, time, addresses and any stops. Include your flight or train number for an arrival pick-up.
2. Tell us your passenger numbers, luggage, children’s requirements and preferred vehicle. For several days, include your itinerary.
3. Check the price, included waiting time and terms shown in your quote. Your booking takes effect once our team has confirmed it.
