Female Chauffeur Hire in London: Request a Woman Chauffeur for Any Journey

Some clients prefer a woman at the wheel, and Excel Chauffeurs makes that a simple request rather than a special arrangement. Our female chauffeurs in London hold the same private hire licences and pass the same DBS and reference checks, as well as having the same minimum three years’ chauffeur experience as the rest of the team. They also drive the same Mercedes S-Class, E-Class and V-Class vehicles at the same fixed prices. Tell us when you book, and we confirm a female chauffeur subject to availability, usually within the hour.

When clients ask for a female chauffeur

• Women travelling alone in London, particularly late-night airport arrivals, hotel transfers and evenings out, who simply feel more at ease with a female chauffeur.
• Families with children. School runs, nursery collections, birthday parties and days out, with booster seats provided free as well as baby or child seats available for £25.
• Cultural and religious preferences, where a female driver for female passengers is the norm, including visiting delegations and family groups from the Gulf.
• Elderly or unwell passengers attending hospital or clinic appointments, where patience and a calm manner matter more than speed.
• Corporate hospitality and events where the host wants a specific profile of chauffeur for VIP guests, including event and race-day bookings.
• Weddings, hen parties and celebrations where the bridal party would rather travel with a woman.

How to request a woman chauffeur

• Online: add “female chauffeur requested” in the notes when you book, or tell our London office by phone or WhatsApp.
• Notice: we can often cover same-day requests, but 24 hours’ notice lets us confirm availability. For regular bookings such as a weekly London school run we assign the same female chauffeur throughout.
• Confirmation: you receive the chauffeur’s name and mobile number before the journey, as with every booking. If we cannot provide a female chauffeur for a specific time, we tell you before you pay, never on the day.

Female chauffeurs: questions we are asked

Is a woman chauffeur guaranteed?

Subject to availability. With 24 hours’ notice we can almost always confirm one; for same-day requests we check and confirm before you pay. Above all, we never substitute a male chauffeur without telling you first.

Are your female chauffeurs as experienced as the rest of the team?

Yes. Every Excel Chauffeurs chauffeur, regardless of gender, holds a private hire driver licence, is DBS-checked, has a minimum of three years’ chauffeur experience and is suited and briefed to the same standard. Some are also defensive-driving trained.

Can I book a female chauffeur for a regular school run?

Yes, of course. We assign regular bookings to one female chauffeur in London, so the children see the same face each day. Booster seats are free, whereas baby and child seats are £25 per seat, per booking, and by law you fit them yourself.

Does it cost more?

No. We book female chauffeurs at our standard London rates for the vehicle you choose.

Can a female chauffeur meet me inside the airport?

Yes. Standard airport collections include a name board in arrivals; at Heathrow and Gatwick you can also add our Fast Track VIP Meet & Greet, where a greeter escorts you from the aircraft door to your chauffeur.

Do you offer female chauffeurs for long-term hire?

Yes. See long-term chauffeur hire in London for weekly as well as monthly arrangements with the same female chauffeur throughout.
