From registering and getting verified to accepting your first job, with the pay shown before you say yes. The app is coming soon; founding drivers get it first.
Register as a founding driverInside the driver app
Jobs, your diary, expenses and the vehicle check all live in one app. Here is a preview of what founding drivers get at launch.

Two ways to drive
Choose the work that suits you. Founding drivers can do both.
You drive the client's own vehicle: a family car for a day of appointments, an executive's car to the airport, a collector's car to an event.
You collect the client in your own approved vehicle, for airport transfers, business travel and events.
Pay
Your tier is set once a member of our team has checked your licences and training. You can move up as your qualifications grow.
Standard chauffeur work for private clients and companies. A clean driving record, good judgement and a professional manner.
For drivers with recognised security or defensive driving training, often gained in service, the police or private security.
For holders of an SIA close protection licence, checked against the SIA public register before you are offered this work.
Rates shown are driver pay per hour. On top of that, you are paid £25 travel on every booking to cover getting to and from the client, and you keep all of it. Every booking is at least two hours. The full pay for each job is shown before you accept it, and expenses incurred on a job are paid on the Chauffeured card rather than out of your pocket.
How it works
Tell us about yourself and the work you want. It takes about three minutes.
Licence checked with the DVLA. DBS check online. SIA licence checked on the public register where relevant.
Complete the Chauffeured online course at your own pace: client care, discretion, vehicle handover and our photo protocol.
Get the driver app and your digital ID. Accept the jobs that suit you, with the pay shown up front.
Built for drivers
Every job shows what you will earn before you say yes. No guessing, no surprises at the end of the month.
A virtual card for costs on the job, such as fuel, parking and tolls, so you are not funding the client's journey yourself.
Before every client-car journey the app takes you through five photos: front, right, rear, left and dashboard. It protects you and the client.
When you drive a client's car, cover is arranged for that journey through our insurance partner, and confirmed in the app before you start.
Your verified Chauffeured ID lives in the app, so clients know exactly who is collecting them and what has been checked.
You work as an independent driver. Take on as much or as little as you like around your other commitments.
Service leavers and veterans
Many of the people we want to work with have served. The judgement, discretion and calm you built in service are exactly what our clients are looking for.
We work with veterans' charities to reach people leaving the Forces and those who left some time ago. Tell us about your service when you register and we will take it into account when matching you to work. Security and close protection training gained in service can count towards the higher pay tiers once verified.
Register as a founding driverUse the link your charity sent you, or choose "Veterans' charity" when we ask how you heard about us and add the charity's name. It helps us thank the people who referred you.
If you support veterans or service leavers and would like to refer people to Chauffeured, we will set up a referral link for you. Email drivers@chauffeured.com.
Questions
You need to be 25 or over, have held a full UK driving licence for at least three years with no more than six penalty points, have the right to work in the UK, and pass a DBS check. Close protection work also needs a current SIA close protection licence.
No. Registration only asks for your contact details and the work you want. We ask for your licence, DBS and any SIA details at the verification stage. If you would like to, you can add a photo of your licence straight after registering to speed things up.
We check your driving licence with the DVLA, run a DBS check online, confirm your identity and right to work, and check your SIA licence on the public register if you have one. Most checks clear within about 48 hours of you supplying the details, although some take longer. A member of our team reviews every result. Your tier is never raised automatically.
Driver pay is £28 an hour for chauffeur work, £40 an hour for security-trained drivers and £80 an hour for SIA licensed close protection. You are also paid £25 travel on every booking to cover getting to and from the client, and you keep all of it. Every booking is at least two hours. The pay for each job is shown in full before you accept it. How much work you get depends on client demand in your area and the hours you make yourself available.
No. Drivers work as independent, self-employed contractors. You decide when you are available and which jobs to accept, and you are responsible for your own tax and National Insurance. Full terms are set out in the driver agreement you receive before your first job.
When you drive a client's car, insurance is arranged for each journey through our insurance partner, and the app confirms cover before the job starts. If you drive your own car, we will go through the insurance your vehicle needs during verification.
A well-kept luxury or executive vehicle that is suitable for private clients. We review the make, model, age and condition of each car individually. You do not need your own car to drive for us: client-car work needs no vehicle at all.
Only for close protection work at £80 an hour. Chauffeur and security-trained work do not need an SIA licence. If you are applying for one, tell us when you register.
The Chauffeured course is online and done at your own pace. It covers client care, discretion, vehicle handover, the photo protocol and using the app. The pass mark is 80%.
