As Directed Chauffeur Service
Your Chauffeur. Your Car. Your Schedule.
Hire our Audi A8 and professional chauffeur by the hour or for the day. Your chauffeur remains with you throughout the booking, ready whenever you are and allowing you to change your plans, timings and destinations as required.
What Does “As Directed” Mean?
An as Directed Chauffeur Service booking is different from a standard A-to-B chauffeur journey.
Instead of booking the car simply to take you from one location to another, you reserve the chauffeur and Audi A8 for an agreed period of time.
We collect you at the arranged time and remain at your disposal throughout the booking. You may have several destinations planned, need us to wait while you attend a meeting or event, or simply want the flexibility to decide where you go next.
There is no need to arrange a separate collection for the return journey — your chauffeur and vehicle stay with you.
Minimum Hire & How Your Hire Time Is Calculated
Our As Directed Chauffeur Service has a minimum hire period of 4 hours.
Hire time is calculated from the time your chauffeur leaves our base in Ramsbottom until the vehicle returns to our Ramsbottom base at the end of your booking.
This means travelling time to your collection point and the return journey to our base form part of the total hire period.
Your quotation will be agreed in advance based on the estimated duration and requirements of your booking.
We Collect You
Your chauffeur arrives at the agreed location and time.
We Stay With You
While you're in your meeting, restaurant, concert or event, your chauffeur remains available.
You Leave When You're Ready
When you're ready to continue or return home, your chauffeur is already there — no separate collection needs to be arranged.
When is As Directed Ideal?
One Service. Many Different Occasions.
Restaurants & Evenings Out
Enjoy your evening without watching the clock. Your chauffeur can wait while you dine, allowing you to leave when it suits you rather than arranging a predetermined return collection.
Business & Corporate Travel
Perfect for days involving several meetings or locations. Your chauffeur remains available between appointments while the Audi A8 provides a quiet environment for calls, emails or simply preparing for your next meeting.
Concerts & Theatre
Travel to the venue, enjoy the performance and leave when you're ready. Your chauffeur remains with the vehicle during your booking, avoiding the uncertainty of arranging a separate late-night collection.
Sporting Events
For major sporting events, our service is provided on an As Directed basis. Your chauffeur remains available throughout the event, ready for your return journey when you're ready to leave.
