Shop in style

London is arguably one of the worlds greatest cities, it is also one of the great centres of retail therapy. If you are new to London why not let iChauffeur drive you in the utmost style and comfort. We can take you to all the popular and famous department stores like Harrods, Harvey Nichols and Selfridges or to shopping districts like Knightsbridge, Bond Street, Oxford Street, Carnaby Street, Covent Garden, Kensington, Chelsea, Notting Hill and Regent Street. We chauffeur many of our gentlemen clients to their Savile Row tailors or bespoke shirt makers in Jermyn Street.

No particular place to go?

But what to do if you do not know London or you are looking for a complete style makeover? We have joined with Lucy Garrett Styling to offer a personal shopping and style experience, like no other.

In luxury chauffeur driven vehicles from Rolls-Royce, Bentley or Mercedes-Benz. Our first class shopping service, like our Bespoke tour is tailor made round your requirements and likes. Champagne and chocolates will make the journeys even more heavenly for some. While we can provide a man with a van to do all the heavy lifting for serious shop-a-holics.

Your chauffeur will be happy to carry your bags and will also have some nice suggestions for lunch or dinner after you have had your fill with shopping.

Eco Chauffeur Video

We are so happy with our new Lexus Hybrid, that we have decided to create a video to show it off. Actually, it’s really to show off our Eco Chauffeur™ service. It does give you a better idea of the luxurious interior of the car, which mere words and pictures fail to convey. There is also a iPod Video download too, so you can download it and watch it on your iPod.

The video’s soundtrack uses a song called "Come Down" by our own "Web Head" Richard Senior aka iFingers. Enjoy.

Lexus Hybrid Chauffeur Car

iChauffeur are delighted to introduce the world’s first luxury hybrid chauffeur driven car. Available as part of the “Eco Chauffeur” service, it will allow environmentally minded individuals and corporations to use a car certified as a Super Ultra Low Emission Vehicle. The Lexus GS 450h SE-L is the world’s first rear wheel drive hybrid. The performance and level of luxury could in no way be described as frugal. This is a full-fat, comfortable vehicle but with the emissions of a more modest family car.

The GS 450h is the first of two Lexus cars coming to iChauffeur in the months ahead, the second being the incredible Lexus LS600h, which will be the flagship of the Lexus range when it becomes available.

iChauffeur Chairman, Andy Senior said, “I am really excited about these new Lexus Hybrids. They are the first vehicles which we have found to have the levels of comfort and luxury that we are known for, but with a carbon footprint of a much smaller and basic vehicle. We are leading the way for others in our industry to follow, and we are sure that our example will give other private hire businesses the momentum to change too, which will benefit all of us.”.
