What does a private chauffeur do?
A private chauffeur is a professional driver hired with the car, who plans the route and timing, arrives early, handles doors and luggage, waits while you are inside, and drives only for you for the length of the booking.
The driving is the smallest part. A good chauffeur checks the flight, knows which entrance of the hotel to use, keeps the car quiet when you are on a call, and does not need to be told twice where the bags go.
Chauffeurs at Black Car Philly are licensed, experienced, trained and background-checked. You will see the same thing in our reviews, where the chauffeur is often named.

From a Google review
“Atip was exceptional. He arrived before pick up (on time), was super respectful helping with luggage and ensuring I had snacks and water for the trip.”

Chauffeur or driver: what is the difference?
Both drive the car. The job around the driving is where they differ.
| Professional chauffeur | App or taxi driver | |
|---|---|---|
| Hired for | Your trip or your hours | The next request |
| Timing | Arrives early, plans the route | Arrives when the app says |
| Waiting | Waits while you are inside (hourly) | Ends the ride |
| Luggage and doors | Handled for you | Varies |
| Vetting | Licensed and background-checked by our team | Platform checks |

Tipping
Gratuity is not included in the quote; 15 to 20 percent is typical.
Children
Child and booster seats are available on request. Ask when you book.
Requests
Temperature, music off, a stop on the way: say so. That is the job.
What passengers say about our chauffeurs.
Quoted word for word from our Google Business Profile.
Atip was communicative, kind, accommodating, punctual, and took good care of my teens for prom. The SUV was very nice and can’t beat the price. Great service, will use again.
Atip was kind and courteous. We were able to schedule a Black Car SUV on very short notice. They showed up early and were waiting for us when we got out of our play. Excellent service!
Atip was such a great driver! He was super nice and accommodating. It’s always tough to get picked up from big concert venues, but he really went out of his way to make it easy!
