Chauffeur Driver Hire PLUS Vehicle

The above rates apply to a chauffeur driving your vehicle.We can provide a vehicle as well as the driver.
Due to the " taxi " regulations every mad manic taxi dashing from job to job claims to be a " chauffeur " and currently it is actually technically illegal to provide a mileage rate based service, unless the car is registered as a taxi and painted cream. There are no "Private Hire " arrangements.

As cars and their hire are very expensive in Portugal ( UK prices + at least 35%)

- Fees vary according to the time of year and your planned itinerary - please ask us for a detailed quote.

If you prefer we can hire in a suitable car ( BMW 520, Audi A6 or Mercedes for example) for the chauffeur to drive. We can arrange this for you competitively with a number of local suppliers. If you prefer to book it yourself or have your own vehicle, this is acceptable BUT you should ensure that our drivers details are given at the time of booking. Watch out for extra charges for insurance and heavy (up to and over £1000) insurance excesses. We know of a number of good all inclusive deals, depending on the vehicle you require.

If you supply a car the booking is then a "Chauffeur Driver only" contract and you are responsible for the terms & conditions of the car hire and any fuel required during the hiring will be for you to pay.(We will pay for fuel or any other agreed extras for your stay if you provide us with funds in advance) You should note that most hire companies require the car to be returned full of fuel and will require a substantial security deposit, particularly for luxury cars which may also have limited availability. If in doubt please contact us before hiring a car.
