Questions and answers

Do you offer corporate accounts?

Yes. Corporate programs may include a central booking contact, traveler profiles, preferred vehicles, approval rules, consolidated invoicing, trip reporting, and one operations escalation path. Account and payment terms are set during onboarding and are not automatic.

To open an account, send your expected monthly volume, service areas, traveler types, billing contacts, cost-center requirements, insurance documentation needs, and after-hours authorization rules. Corporate buyers are routed to a dedicated intake form and the VIP desk rather than the standard consumer booking flow.

Can you provide monthly billing or NET terms?

Qualified corporate, production, aviation, or agency accounts may request consolidated billing or approved payment terms. Approval depends on the legal entity, credit or procurement requirements, expected volume, and a signed agreement.

Payment terms are not automatic for every customer. The account team reviews an application before any billing arrangement is approved, and ordinary consumer reservations follow the payment schedule shown in the confirmation.

Can I reserve a chauffeur for a full day?

Yes. Hourly or as-directed service keeps the vehicle and chauffeur available for meetings, shopping, dining, studio calls, events, or an itinerary that may change. The confirmation states the minimum hours, duty start and end, included mileage or service area, overtime basis, and any parking or long-distance treatment.

For a long day, dispatch may schedule relief coverage to respect safety and duty limits.

What is the best car-service setup for executive meetings or a roadshow?

For one airport-to-hotel movement, use a transfer. For several meetings or uncertain timing, reserve a dedicated hourly vehicle. A roadshow may require a lead chauffeur, backup routing, traveler and assistant contacts, venue access notes, Wi-Fi, charging, and a consolidated run sheet.

The operation works from the latest approved itinerary and records who can authorize changes, so the executive traveler is not asked to coordinate every adjustment personally.

Can you support NDA and confidentiality requirements?

Yes, privacy-sensitive assignments can be planned with an NDA, restricted itinerary distribution, aliases, security contacts, or an agreed communication channel. Send the requirement before chauffeur assignment so the company can review and accept it.

We do not claim that every chauffeur is automatically party to every client NDA. Each request identifies the actual agreement, who signed it, what information is restricted, and how the operations team will handle it.

Do you provide production transportation in Los Angeles?

Yes. Production transportation may include talent and executive vehicles, airport arrivals, studio and location transfers, crew shuttles, scouts, standby vehicles, and multi-day schedules. A production movement needs more than an address: share the call sheet or approved transport schedule, pickup windows, production contacts, credential and loading rules, equipment load, and change authority.

Planning covers vehicle numbering, driver briefs, check-in points, last-minute revisions, and wrap-time uncertainty. Private call sheets and client identities are never published or discussed outside the assignment.

Can you transport talent separately from crew?

Yes. A production plan can separate talent, executives, crew, equipment, and support staff into different vehicle classes and communication groups. This protects privacy and prevents one delayed movement from holding the entire production.

The plan identifies who receives chauffeur details, whether aliases are used, where vehicles stage, and who authorizes a release or reroute. Equipment is not loaded into a passenger vehicle without confirming cargo capacity and handling responsibility.

Can you coordinate transportation for a premiere, awards show, gala, or concert?

Yes. Event planning may include credentialed vehicles, timed arrivals, venue loading zones, standby, off-site staging, guest manifests, separate departures, and a dedicated operations contact. Post-event pickup is rarely identical to an ordinary curbside transfer because roads, police controls, and venue exits may change.

The event owner should provide access maps, credential deadlines, guest priorities, and an escalation contact. The confirmation describes whether the vehicle waits, returns, or uses a nearby staging area.

Can you manage an event that requires 50 to 100 vehicles?

A large multi-vehicle movement is accepted only when the operational capacity for that specific assignment can be documented. The useful answer is the process: one command structure, numbered vehicles, manifests, zones, dispatch channels, staging maps, driver check-ins, live status, guest recovery, and billing reconciliation.

A request at that scale goes to the VIP desk, which reviews the complete event scope, operating partners, permits, insurance, backup ratio, on-site staffing, and reporting requirements before anything is confirmed. We do not advertise a large owned fleet: the vehicles for a program of this size are confirmed against documented capacity for your dates.

What does the transportation concierge do?

The transportation concierge converts the client's itinerary into an operating plan. That can include selecting the correct vehicle mix, confirming traveler information, building manifests, briefing chauffeurs, monitoring flights, coordinating assistants and venues, recording changes, and keeping one accountable contact over the movement.

This service is especially valuable when your team is managing the event, production, or guest experience and should not also chase individual cars. Whether the concierge is included, assigned only to certain programs, or quoted as a dedicated on-site role is confirmed in writing with your proposal.

Can you coordinate airport arrivals for a company or event?

Yes. Send every passenger, flight, terminal, mobile contact, luggage estimate, hotel, and priority level in a structured manifest. The operations team can group travelers by arrival window, assign vehicles, identify group leaders, and build a hold or release plan for delays.

Unrelated passengers should not be left waiting for hours in one vehicle. A strong plan decides in advance how late flights, missed connections, and no-response passengers are handled.

Can you provide Sprinters, minibuses, or coaches for a corporate group?

Yes, subject to the exact vehicle and operating availability. Use the passenger manifest, luggage load, hotel and venue access, schedule, and presentation standard to choose Sprinters, minibuses, coaches, SUVs, or a mixed fleet.

The quote identifies legal seating, actual luggage capacity, operating carrier, amenities, minimum hours, parking, and whether the driver remains on standby. Not every large vehicle is a luxury Sprinter, so the confirmed vehicle type is named in writing instead of described generically.

Can we request the same chauffeur for several days?

Yes, continuity can be requested and is often helpful for an executive, family, production, or roadshow. It is confirmed only in writing and may require a schedule that respects rest and duty limits.

The traveler profile and service notes are preserved even if another qualified chauffeur covers a segment, so you do not have to repeat every preference.

How do you handle a chauffeur or vehicle becoming unavailable?

Live operations documents the issue, contacts you or your authorized coordinator, and, when possible, assigns an appropriate replacement. Illness, safety concerns, mechanical issues, or duty limits can require a change.

The contingency standard is not that nothing ever goes wrong. It is that changes are identified, communicated, and recovered through a defined dispatch process. Material substitutions are confirmed before pickup whenever practical.

Can an executive assistant or concierge manage bookings for travelers?

Yes. The traveler and the booking contact are recorded separately so confirmations, chauffeur details, receipts, and urgent updates go to the right people. The account identifies who may change or cancel service and which traveler information can be shared.

For multiple guests, use a manifest rather than a long email thread, and keep sensitive personal information limited to what the operation actually needs.
