Account-managed chauffeur service for businesses moving executives, clients and visiting principals. Hourly rates with wait-and-return. Consolidated monthly invoicing on thirty-day terms. PO numbers, cost codes and a single named account contact — the things finance, procurement and the EA team actually need.
Corporate chauffeur
Most corporate transport is sold one trip at a time, with a different driver, a different car, and a different argument about traffic each morning. We sell something simpler: a chauffeur held for the day, on an account.
The morning brief at nine. Wait-and-return for the eleven o'clock at Spinningfields. Lunch at 20 Stories. A run to the office in Bowdon, then back into town for dinner with counsel. One chauffeur, one car, one number to message — all of it on a single line of a monthly invoice, raised against a PO, sent to the finance address on the first.
For most of our corporate clients this becomes an arrangement, not a transaction. The same chauffeur most days. The car held outside the office. The gate-staff who learned the registration in the first month. Our job is that nobody on your side spends a minute thinking about transport.
A typical brief
An indicative working day for an account client — the kind we run by the dozen each week. Hourly booking, wait-and-return, raised against a single PO number; a single line on the monthly invoice.
Sale · Range Rover Autobiography · same chauffeur as the previous fortnight. Coffee waiting; the morning's papers in the seat-back; secure cabin for inbound calls.
Set down at the principal entrance; car held in the loading bay. Boarding for the morning brief, the chauffeur on standby for the next move.
Two-minute kerbside collection from the building. Quiet route through Deansgate. Set down at the door; car held out of view until the lunch concludes.
Out to the Hale office via the A56. Wait-and-return for the meeting; the hour read on the cabin chronometer, not a meter. No second booking required.
Hawksmoor — collected from the office at 18:50, set down at 19:02. Car returns at 22:00 for the run home. The chauffeur reads the diary, not the brake lights.
One chauffeur, one car, one line on the monthly invoice. PO matched, cost-code applied, VAT separated. The day moved exactly as it was meant to.
Who this is for
R5 corporate accounts are designed for the four roles inside a business who actually deal with executive transport — and for the principals they're booking on behalf of.
Diary-led booking, last-minute changes, multi-leg days. One direct number, one chauffeur held against the calendar — not a queue, not a ticket, not a different driver each morning.
Same-day · multi-legOne supplier, one PDF a month. PO numbers raised at booking; cost-codes applied to journeys; VAT separated; thirty-day terms. Supplier-onboarding pack on request.
PO · cost-code · T+30NDA-bound chauffeurs as standard; we'll counter-sign your client-specific NDA at account set-up. Full insurance, PHV-licensed drivers, public liability documentation supplied.
NDA · PHV · £10m PLVisiting client logistics, off-site away-days, board moves between offices. Multi-vehicle co-ordination on a single brief — the V-Class for the team, the Range Rover for the principals.
Multi-vehicle · nationwideWhat you get
Corporate accounts move on different terms to single bookings — the operational and financial details are arranged once, not re-argued every morning.
Hold the chauffeur for the morning, the day, or the multi-day visit. The hour starts and stops as the brief requires — not at every kerb.
One PDF a month, every journey itemised against a PO and cost-code, VAT separated. Sent to your finance address on the first working day. Thirty-day terms as standard.
Continuity isn't an upgrade. Where the diary allows, the same chauffeur returns — and learns the route, the building, the preferences, the client.
For account clients with predictable patterns, we hold capacity in advance — so the busy Friday isn't suddenly a problem, and the visiting principal isn't suddenly in a black cab.
You speak to the team that books the cars and briefs the chauffeurs. No ticket-system, no overseas dispatch, no escalation queue. One named account contact.
Every chauffeur is briefed under a non-disclosure agreement as standard. PHV-licensed, fully insured, £10m public liability. Client-specific NDAs counter-signed at set-up.

For the business
For companies that move executives, clients or visiting principals through Manchester — once a month or every working day. Set-up takes one call; supplier onboarding pack returned the same day.
For productions & venues
For production companies, agencies, hotels and venues who need fleet co-ordination on a single brief — talent in the Sprinter, principals in the Range Rover, crew in V-Class. One contact, one invoice, one set of paperwork.
Fleet pairing
Most corporate days run on the Range Rover or the E-Class. When the team is travelling together, the V-Class steps in.
The car most account clients hold by default. Two passengers, full luggage, the working call run from the rear cabin in quiet.

The everyday car for solo executives — sleek, quick, properly equipped. The introduction to chauffeured travel for accounts that want one.

Questions
One call, usually under twenty minutes. We capture the named contact, the cost-code structure your finance team uses, the standard PO format, the insurance and NDA requirements, and the patterns we should expect (the regular Tuesday meeting in London, the visiting principal who arrives every month, the board meeting at year-end). The supplier-onboarding pack — insurance certificates, PHV licences, NDA — is returned the same working day.
Two hours for a held chauffeur. Most account days run four to ten hours; we don't add a separate fee for the wait between movements within a single booked period. Single airport transfers are charged as fixed-price journeys.
Yes — that's the default for any corporate account. One PDF per month, every journey itemised against the PO and cost-code your team supplied at booking, VAT separated. Sent to your finance contact on the first working day. Thirty-day terms as standard; earlier by arrangement.
Where the diary allows, yes — we hold continuity as a service standard, not an upgrade. In practice, ninety-four per cent of repeat-account journeys run with a chauffeur the client has had before. For multi-day visits we'll hold a single chauffeur for the duration as a matter of course.
Yes. Every chauffeur signs and is briefed under a non-disclosure agreement at the point of joining. Client-specific NDAs are counter-signed at account set-up if your compliance requires it. Public liability cover (£10m), PHV operator licence and individual driver licences are provided as part of the supplier-onboarding pack.
The hourly model is built for it. The chauffeur waits; the meeting overruns; the next stop adjusts. There is no kerbside cancellation, no surge, no second booking required. The hour reads as it actually ran.
Yes — routinely. We are Manchester-based but operate nationwide. London days run on Range Rover or V-Class, set out the night before; Edinburgh and the south-coast accounts run as multi-day briefs. Single line on the same monthly invoice.
Yes. A single account can hold any number of named travellers, each with their own profile, preferences and cost-code. Bookings can be raised by EAs, ops, or the principals themselves — all rolled up to one monthly invoice.
R5 Executive Travel · corporate accounts
Account set-up takes one call. Supplier-onboarding pack the same day. Same chauffeurs, same standards, same monthly invoice — whichever office, hotel or residence you'd like the car held outside.
