Passenger safety
Information and tips for clients and guests
Right from the start of the COVID-19 pandemic we’ve been actively monitoring the latest advice from the scientific world. We are continually working to help keep those who rely on our services healthy and safe.


Contactless Travel
Driving touch-free travel confidence
Contactless travel is our own concept. It keeps contact between passengers and chauffeurs down to a bare minimum. The protocol puts the chauffeur in charge of the passenger. Building on and exceeding the Department of Transport’s new guidance, our world-leading road map to safer private chauffeur hire.


Chauffeur safety
Chauffeur guidance and training resources
We’ve put together a comprehensive and solid set of procedures to help keep you and your passengers safe while driving. From our contactless travel protocol, to sanitisation procedures, we’ve designed a safer experience for all our chauffeurs. We’re in this together.


‘Our members iChauffeur have shown a fantastic example of best practice and for the Private Hire Chauffeur industry to work towards passenger safety. With the government wanting the travelling public to avoid mainstream public transport, they have set the bar high with their virus prevention measures.’
