Long-Term Private Chauffeur Hire in London
Booking a new car for every journey works for a few days. Over a few months, it becomes a chore, and you never get the same driver twice. Our long-term chauffeur service gives you one dedicated chauffeur for the length of your stay, usually two to three months or more. It suits executives on temporary assignment, teams working on a long London project and international visitors who want reliable daily transport.
Book journeys at the touch of a button through our iOS and Android booking platform. Your chauffeur gets to know your routine, your regular routes and how you like to travel, so after the first week, very little needs explaining.
Who This Service Is For
Visitors From the USA and Around the World
If you are spending two or three months in London, a dedicated chauffeur who knows the city makes life much easier. Meetings, school runs, social events and weekend trips all happen on time without you learning the Tube.
Executives, Project Teams and Longer Stays
We work with senior executives on long assignments and with teams that need daily transfers between London offices. For leisure visitors on a long stay, it simply means always having a trusted driver available.
Built for Stays of Two to Three Months
Arrangements usually run for two to three months or longer, and are shaped around your schedule and working hours. Daily, half-day and as-needed arrangements can all be combined in one agreement.
A Dedicated Chauffeur for Two to Three Months
Your package is built around your routine. Once it starts, your chauffeur is assigned to you, learns your preferences, plans around your diary and fits their schedule to yours. After a few weeks, they stop being just a driver and become a reliable part of your London life.

Why Choose LWL for a Long Stay in London?
Good Value Over Time
Long-term hire is priced clearly and competitively. Hourly rates range from £50 to £90 and daily rates from £400 to £720, depending on the car and the length of the arrangement. Over a long stay, that works out far cheaper than booking one journey at a time.
On Your Schedule
Your chauffeur works around your day, not the other way round. Early airport runs, midday meetings and late dinners are all covered for as long as the arrangement runs.
Privacy and Discretion
Every chauffeur signs a non-disclosure agreement before a long-term job begins. Your movements, conversations and personal details stay private for the whole arrangement and after it ends.

Choose from the Mercedes E-Class, S-Class and V-Class, the Range Rover and the BMW i7, and switch between them as your needs change from day to day.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our long-term alternative private chauffeur service in London.
LWL's alternative private chauffeur service is a long-term, dedicated chauffeur engagement designed for business executives, corporate teams, high-net-worth individuals, and international visitors who require a personal chauffeur on a retained basis for 2–3 months or longer. Rather than booking individual transfers day by day, you retain an LWL professional chauffeur as your dedicated personal driver for the agreed period — ensuring consistent, familiar, and private transportation that is always available when you need it, without the administrative burden of daily booking management or the expense of employing a full-time driver directly.
A retained private chauffeur provides a fundamentally different level of service compared to ad-hoc daily bookings. Your dedicated chauffeur learns your preferences, schedule patterns, regular routes, and personal requirements over time — delivering a progressively more personalised experience as the engagement continues. You have the same trusted professional driver every day, building a relationship based on reliability and familiarity. There is no daily booking process, no vehicle uncertainty, and no introduction period with a new driver for each journey. Your retained chauffeur is an extension of your professional support team for the duration of the engagement.
LWL's alternative private chauffeur service is available from a minimum engagement period of 4 weeks. Our most popular retained chauffeur packages are 2-month and 3-month engagements, which are particularly suited to international executives visiting London for extended business assignments, corporate teams with seasonal peak transport demands, and visiting dignitaries or high-net-worth individuals relocating to London temporarily. Longer-term engagements of 6 months or more are also available at preferential rates. Contact us to discuss the most appropriate structure and pricing for your specific retention requirements.
All vehicles in LWL's premium fleet are available for long-term private chauffeur engagements. Your preferred vehicle is reserved for your exclusive use throughout the retained period, ensuring consistency of experience in every journey. Clients most commonly select the Mercedes S-Class or BMW i7 for individual executive use, or the Mercedes V-Class for executives travelling with their team. If your requirements change during the retention period — for example, if you need a larger vehicle for group travel on certain days — our team can accommodate vehicle changes with advance notice. All long-term vehicles are maintained to the same immaculate standard throughout your engagement.
Yes. Within the agreed daily working hours, your retained LWL chauffeur is on call and available for immediate dispatch whenever you need them. Standard retained chauffeur packages cover a defined daily working window — typically 10 to 12 hours — within which your chauffeur is available for any journey, at any time, with no pre-booking required. For out-of-hours requirements beyond the agreed window, additional time is available at a pre-agreed rate. Corporate account clients can also arrange 24/7 on-call retained chauffeur service for executives with round-the-clock travel requirements. Contact us to design the availability structure that best suits your schedule.
Yes. LWL's retained private chauffeurs can provide support beyond simple driving for clients who require a higher level of personal assistance. Additional chauffeur support services can include errand running (collecting packages, post, or items from specific locations), document delivery, waiting at appointments while clients are inside meetings, assisting with VIP guest transfers and coordination, and liaison with hotel concierges and security teams. All additional support tasks are discussed and agreed at the time of engagement to ensure your retained chauffeur is fully prepared for every aspect of their role during the retention period.
Absolute confidentiality is a non-negotiable element of every LWL retained private chauffeur engagement. Your dedicated chauffeur signs a comprehensive NDA before the engagement begins, covering all personal information, travel itineraries, meeting locations, business discussions, and lifestyle details observed or overheard throughout the retention period. Our retained chauffeurs understand that discretion is as important as punctuality in this context, and they maintain a professional, non-intrusive presence at all times. Long-term retained chauffeur clients regularly include high-net-worth individuals, corporate executives, diplomats, and visiting international clients with significant privacy requirements.
LWL's retained private chauffeur packages are priced on a fixed monthly basis and are fully inclusive of the dedicated chauffeur's time within the agreed daily hours, the reserved vehicle, all insurance, maintenance and fuel. Tolls, parking and the Congestion Charge are charged at cost. There are no hidden additions or day-to-day booking fees. Extended hours, out-of-service-area travel, and additional vehicle requests beyond the primary reserved vehicle are charged at pre-agreed rates, fully disclosed before the engagement begins. Contact us to discuss your specific requirements and we will provide a tailored monthly package price for your consideration.
To arrange a retained private chauffeur engagement, contact our operations team directly by telephone on +44 207 183 3054 or by email to bookings@londonwheelslimo.com. Please share your anticipated start date, required duration, typical daily working hours needed, your primary base location in London, vehicle preference, and any specific requirements regarding chauffeur profile, language capabilities, or additional support tasks. We will respond within one business day with a tailored proposal, and if the terms align, we will arrange a pre-engagement meeting to introduce your dedicated chauffeur and confirm all details before the start date.
