Fantastic chauffeur service from start to finish! The driver was friendly, professional and punctual, and the car was spotless, comfortable and luxurious. The whole journey was smooth and stress-free. If you’re looking for a reliable luxury chauffeur service, airport transfer or private chauffeur, I highly recommend this company. I’ll definitely be using them again! - Special mention of Zaf, he travelled an extra half an hour just to return my phone as I had left it in his car.

We booked Bespoke Executive Chauffeurs for 8 passengers with 8 suitcases and were really impressed with the service. The Mercedes V-Class had plenty of space for everyone and our luggage. The driver was punctual, professional and helpful throughout our Birmingham Airport transfer. A comfortable and reliable chauffeur service in Birmingham. Highly recommended.

The Train Wins the Race. The Car Wins the Journey
A long-distance chauffeur service covers city-to-city travel on a single agreed fare, with one driver from your door to the destination and no changes in between.
Rail beats a car on pure speed between two city centres and we will not pretend otherwise. A train reaches Manchester faster than any car can. What it does not do is collect you, carry your cases, or put you down at the address you actually wanted.
That is where the comparison turns. A car wins on everything either side of the platform: no taxi at both ends, no changes with luggage, no 05:40 departure to make a 09:00 meeting, and a cabin you can work in for the whole journey rather than the middle third of it.
The fare is fixed before departure and covers the whole run, including the M6 Toll and any Clean Air Zone where the route touches them. There is no per-mile meter and no surcharge if the M6 is slow.
Below: the destinations we run most, the fleet that carries them, an honest comparison with rail, how groups travel, the driving times, what sits inside the fare, and how to book.

Four Reasons the Train Does Not Work
Real luggage
Cases stay in the bootFour people with four large cases do not have a good train option, and neither does anyone with a change of trains on the way.The wrong departure time
You choose the hourA 09:00 meeting in Manchester means a 05:40 train. A car leaves when you decide and you sleep or work on the way.Nowhere near a station
Door to doorClient sites, country houses and regional offices that are a taxi ride from the nearest platform at both ends.A journey you must work through
Private cabinCalls that cannot be taken in a carriage, and documents that should not be read over a shoulder.

Premium Vehicles
Over four hours the S-Class earns its rear legroom and quieter cabin more than it does across town. The V-Class seats seven with a full luggage load, the Vito takes the same numbers with a larger boot, and the E-Class covers shorter runs. Wi-Fi, bottled water and device charging are standard.

Four Things a Fixed Fare Absorbs
Traffic
There is no meter. A slow M6 changes when you arrive and nothing about what you pay.Tolls and charges
The M6 Toll, other motorway tolls and any Clean Air Zone the route touches are all inside the figure.Comfort stops
Expected on any run over two hours and charged for on none of them. Adding a destination is the only thing that changes a quote.The return leg
A same-day return usually costs less than two singles, because the vehicle is already at the far end.
Four People and Four Cases
A full party
Up to 7 seatsOne V-Class instead of seven train tickets and two taxis at each end, arriving together and at the right address.Heavy loads
Vito for the bootEquipment, samples or holiday luggage, where the cases decide the vehicle rather than the head count.Teams travelling to a site
One invoiceSeveral vehicles moving as one booking to a regional office or client site, quoted as a single engagement.More about teams travelling to a siteFamilies
Seats fitted freeChild seats in any stage at no charge, which removes the part of a long journey nobody looks forward to.

What the Fixed Fare Covers
- The chauffeur's time for the whole run
- The M6 Toll and other motorway tolls
- Clean Air Zone where the route touches them
- Comfort stops on any run over two hours
- Luggage handled at both ends
- Wi-Fi, bottled water and device charging
- Child seats in any stage
- The driver's accommodation on overnight bookings
Quoted Per Route, Not Per Mile
- 01
Give both addresses
Door to door rather than city to city, since the ends are where the time and the cost actually sit. - 02
Say whether it is a return
A same-day return is usually cheaper than two singles, because the car is already there. - 03
Count the luggage
Honestly. Over four hours, a boot that is one case short becomes the whole story of the journey. - 04
Flag any stops
Comfort stops cost nothing. An added destination changes the quote, so it is better said now.
For a long-distance quote, call 0800 020 9501 or send both addresses and the date.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a long-distance chauffeur service?
City-to-city travel on a single agreed fare, with one driver from your door to the destination. There are no changes, no meter and no per-mile charge, and tolls and charges are inside the figure.
How much is a long-distance chauffeur journey?
Quoted per route and fixed before you travel. From Birmingham in an executive saloon, one way: London from £420, Manchester £352, Bristol £351, Leeds £424 and Edinburgh £805. Vehicle class and whether the car waits or returns empty change the figure, and your exact fare shows before you book.
Is a chauffeur faster than the train to Manchester?
No, the train is faster city centre to city centre. The car wins on the ends of the journey: no taxi at either side, no changes with luggage, and a departure time you choose rather than one on a timetable.
Does the chauffeur wait and bring me back?
Either works. A same-day return is usually cheaper than two singles because the vehicle is already there, and overnight stays are quoted with the driver's accommodation included.
Are motorway tolls and charges included?
Yes. The M6 Toll, other tolls and any Clean Air Zone the route touches are all inside the fixed fare rather than added afterwards.
Can you take us to Heathrow, Gatwick or Manchester Airport?
Yes, at a fixed fare with the flight tracked. Fares from Birmingham to every major airport are on our airport transfers page.
Can we stop on the way?
Yes, and comfort stops are expected on any run over two hours at no cost. Adding a destination changes the quote, so mention it at booking rather than at the services.
What destinations do you cover?
From Birmingham: Oxford, Bristol, Manchester and Liverpool under two hours; London, Leeds, Cardiff and Cambridge two to three; Brighton, Exeter and Newcastle three to four. Anywhere else in England, Wales or Scotland is quoted the same way.
How many people can travel on a long run?
Up to seven in a V-Class with a full luggage load. For long distances the S-Class is the more common choice for smaller parties, because rear legroom matters more over four hours than over forty minutes.
In Summary
A long-distance chauffeur service from Birmingham covers city-to-city journeys on one fixed fare, door to door, with tolls and charges already inside the figure. Oxford, Bristol and Manchester sit under two hours, London and Leeds two to three.
The train is faster between two city centres and we say so. The car wins on everything either side of the platform, which for four people with luggage is usually the part that decides it.
Comfort stops, luggage handling and the driver's accommodation on overnight runs are all inside the fare. Only an added destination changes the quote.
