Travelling with a private chauffeur
Travelling with a private chauffeur for the first time raises simple questions: the price, what is included, the etiquette. Here are our answers, checked and dated.
How much does a private chauffeur cost, what does the price include, should you leave a tip, what happens if the flight is delayed? This category of the Aura Journal answers the practical questions people ask before booking a chauffeur, whether for the first time or to compare with their usual habits. We explain our fixed prices and what they include, the etiquette in France and how to choose the vehicle according to the number of passengers and pieces of luggage.
The rules quoted (taxi flat rates, cancellation terms, private hire regulations) are checked against official sources and dated. And if a question remains unanswered, our team replies directly on WhatsApp or by phone, in French or English.
