Corporate chauffeur service in Manchester for every business journey
A corporate chauffeur service built around the people who arrange the travel: your brief goes in writing, so your chauffeur arrives when you were told to expect them.
A booker's checklist
- Booker and passenger kept separate on every booking
- Chauffeur and car details sent before travel
- VAT receipts and invoices for business bookings
- An NDA signed where your account needs one
Corporate travel Manchester teams can hand over
Whether you need a corporate chauffeur for one director or an executive chauffeur for a whole programme, the details must be taken care of. MCH works with executive assistants, PAs, travel managers and production teams on the executive travel Manchester businesses depend on, and then plans the car, the timings and the collections around your brief. Its team has more than ten years in executive transportation, including fight-week programmes at Co-op Live and AO Arena.
Because plans change, MCH keeps the booker informed and explains any effect on the booking before it reaches your passenger. MCH covers Manchester, Greater Manchester, Cheshire and Liverpool day to day, and its chauffeurs travel anywhere in the UK, so a corporate car service Manchester offices rely on can also reach London or Leeds.
Executive chauffeur hire for every business journey
Start with the corporate travel job you need done, and then MCH shapes the business chauffeur service around it.
Airport transfers
Offices, hotels and homes to Manchester and the UK airports, so the journey starts without a car park.
Plan staff airport runsClient meetings and hospitality
Hotels, offices and appointments for visiting directors, clients and colleagues, so guests are taken straight to their appointment.
Meet the executive carsMulti-stop days and as-directed hire
One chauffeur and car for agreed hours, so several meetings fit into one day.
Keep one car all dayCorporate roadshows and conferences
Delegate arrivals, roadshow stops, venue movements and departures, including financial roadshows, so one plan covers the day.
Plan a multi-car programmeFilm, TV and production travel
Crew and director movements, after we check the passengers and equipment first.
Brief us on your productionLong distance journeys
Manchester to London, Birmingham, Leeds and beyond, door to door, so nobody changes vehicle.
Travel door to door by road
Multi-stop days, roadshows and conference transport
When a day includes several meetings, waiting time or changing plans, one corporate chauffeur booking for agreed hours keeps the chauffeur and car with you, so your passenger stays in the same vehicle. For conferences and hosted guests, an airport collection, hotel transfer, venue movement and evening return can form one programme of executive travel, including financial roadshows with several stops in a day.
How a corporate chauffeur booking works
A corporate car service should not leave you chasing a transport booking, because MCH tells you what it has arranged.
- 1
Send the brief
Tell us where, when and who is travelling, with the booker and passenger details, the invoice address and the flight number if there is one, so we can quote accurately.
- 2
Receive a written quote
MCH recommends the arrangement, and then puts the service and the price in writing.
- 3
Accept and confirm
Once you accept, MCH issues provisional booking information and payment details.
- 4
Meet your chauffeur
Your passenger receives meeting instructions, plus the chauffeur and car details before travel.
Corporate car service: an account, or a booking without one?
Someone other than the passenger usually makes the booking, so MCH built the process around that.
| What to compare | Without an account | Corporate account |
|---|---|---|
| How you pay | Card or pro-forma invoice before travel | Payment terms offered individually, once an ongoing working relationship is in place |
| Invoicing | A pro-forma invoice, paid before travel | Invoicing offered to approved accounts |
| Booking for someone else | Give us the booker and passenger details | Assistants and travel managers book for colleagues, clients and whole teams |
| Corporate portal | Not included | Book, track the chauffeur and the journey, and see invoices and past bookings |
| Terms | A written quote for each booking | Terms based on your monthly booking volume |
If the booker and the passenger are the same person, just tell us and MCH will note it. MCH sends service messages by phone, email or SMS, so please check that the passenger's contact details are accurate and that you may share them.

Corporate chauffeur pricing, payment and cancellation
1. Prices and payment
Every booking starts with a written quote, and it gives an all-in price for the journey you describe. Quotes show the price before VAT, with VAT added on top. You save your card securely through Stripe when you request your booking, and MCH usually charges it about 24 hours before your journey, or earlier for multi-day and multi-journey bookings. If payment is needed earlier than 24 hours before your journey, MCH will notify you. Companies without an account receive a pro-forma invoice to pay before travel.
2. What can change the price
Extra stops, route changes, extra mileage, waiting beyond the complimentary time, unplanned parking, tolls and non-airport drop-off fees can all apply, and MCH invoices any extras separately. Hourly hire is designed for multi-stop itineraries that end in the same business district, so city-to-city and long distance journeys are quoted as transfers instead. Corporate bookings can end wherever you need, as long as you tell us in advance.
3. Changes and cancellation
Standard transfers need at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or amend, and peak dates, large events, hourly hire, multi-vehicle bookings and multi-day travel can need longer. Because MCH reserves a chauffeur and vehicle for your journey once payment is taken and the booking is allocated, refunds are not available after that point. Where a booking needs longer notice or earlier payment, MCH will tell you in advance. Chauffeurs never take payment, so everything is settled with MCH in advance.
Read the full terms and conditions, and note that your quote states the terms for your booking.

Corporate chauffeur service: your questions answered
What is a corporate chauffeur service?
A corporate chauffeur service, sometimes called corporate chauffeur hire, an executive chauffeur service, a business chauffeur service or a corporate car service, is pre-booked executive transport for business, with a professional chauffeur, a premium car and a written quote. Companies therefore use it for airport transfers, client journeys, roadshows, events and recurring trips, often booked by an assistant or travel manager for someone else.
Who can book business chauffeur hire in Manchester?
Anyone arranging business travel can book, including directors, executive assistants, PAs, travel managers and event organisers, so you can book an executive chauffeur Manchester wide for yourself, a colleague, a client or a whole team.
Can an assistant or travel manager book for someone else, and do you offer corporate accounts?
Absolutely. Give us the booker's details and the passenger's details, with a name, phone number and email address for each, and if they are the same person, just say so. Companies without an account pay by card or pro-forma invoice before travel. Once an account is open and there is an ongoing working relationship, MCH offers terms individually, and account clients use the corporate portal to book, track the chauffeur and the journey, and see invoices and past bookings.
How do I book a corporate chauffeur, and what do you need?
Send MCH the brief: the collection and destination addresses, the date and time, the number of passengers, luggage, and your preferred car. MCH replies with a written quote, and the steps above show what happens next. Airport bookings also need the flight number and the lead passenger's details.
Can you provide several cars for one event or programme?
Yes. MCH plans multiple cars operating at the same time, including separate arrivals and shared transfers, so a team can travel as one booking. For larger groups, see our minibus and coach options.
Are your chauffeurs licensed and DBS-checked?
Yes. Our chauffeurs are licensed and DBS-checked, and MCH sends the chauffeur's details and the car before travel, so your passenger knows who to expect.
How much does a corporate chauffeur cost per hour in Manchester?
In an E-Class, hourly hire starts at £55 an hour plus VAT for 3 to 4 hours and falls to £45 an hour for a full day of 8 to 12 hours. A V-Class runs from £75 down to £65 an hour, and an S-Class from £100 down to £80. Hire starts at three hours and includes 20 miles per booked hour. Hourly hire suits multi-stop itineraries that end in the same business district, while one-way city-to-city journeys are quoted separately, so see our hourly chauffeur hire page for the full rates.
Do you provide corporate airport transfers?
Yes. We take you from your office, hotel or home to Manchester and the UK airports, so the price is fixed in writing. A transfer to Manchester Airport has a guide price of £85 plus VAT in an E-Class, and our airport transfers page shows every airport.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes. We sign an NDA on request for a one-off booking, and a corporate account includes one where the account needs it. Also, MCH does not name clients.
How do I pay, and what is the cancellation policy?
You save your card securely through Stripe when you request your booking, and MCH usually charges it about 24 hours before your journey, or earlier for multi-day and multi-journey bookings. If payment is needed earlier, MCH will notify you. Standard transfers need at least 24 hours' notice to cancel or amend, and because MCH reserves a chauffeur and vehicle once payment is taken, refunds are not available after that point, as the terms above explain.
