Whenever I'm in London I see black chauffeur driven S Class Mercedes shuttling about. Loads of them.

Are they available to hire like expensive taxis? Taking The Bird for a weekend in London, nice hotel, theatre etc and thought it would be a nice touch to get taken to and from the theatre in one instead of a black cab.

Anyone know?

If you have an iPhone/android, download an app called uber. You can use it to see how far away the drivers are and it's all very convenient. Everything is done automatically so you can just get in and out without faffing about. It isn't so much more than a black cab but prices fluctuate according to demand. There are discount codes around for first time users. Pm me if you go with this as I know another code that should still work.

We offer specialist naked chauffeurs, apart from a hat. (On their head)

It's fine when you're in the car but gets a bit embarrassing/awkward when picking up at the airport arrivals.
Also, we don't really cover London as they're loads of companies who do this, albeit not naked.

I used to use a firm in Aylesbury area to run me to the airports in a chauffeured s class, pick up at 3am, no problem, even used to call me 20 mins away to get me up! And it was cheaper than I had to charge mileage for my missus to drop me off and pick me up, ( ie two way charge both end of trip). Was a no brainier, 40percent cheaper than a cab, and they meet you at the arrivals hall, carry bags, know if he plane is late etc.

Real professional company, just too cheap
