It takes a special kind of person to succeed as a chauffeur. Some people get into the profession assuming that all they’ll need is a driver’s license and a new suit. Before long, however, these misguided folks realize that there’s a whole lot more to being a chauffeur than meets the eye. In this entry, we’ll look at a few common traits of great chauffeurs.

Integrity 

Chauffeurs are responsible for preserving the safety and well-being of their clients on the road. Likewise, clients need a chauffeur they feel they can trust. Limousines also tend to see their fair share of valuables pass through their doors. As a client, the last thing you want is to have to worry about your chauffeur stealing from you during your night out on the town. Great chauffeurs have reputations for honesty, and are well-respected by their peers.

Empathy

A good chauffeur understands that their job is to accommodate the needs of their clients and get them where they need to be in a safe and timely fashion. They know that their clients have a preconceived idea of how they want their occasion to unfold, and they do their best to make that idea a reality.

Personable

Here we have an often overlooked, but no less important trait of exceptional chauffeurs. A great chauffeur will make clients feel at ease with a quiet confidence and pleasant demeanor. When they interact with clients they should always remain pleasant and courteous, especially on difficult runs.

Level-Headed

A good chauffeur recognizes that the best way to overcome obstacles is to remain focused, calm and collected. It’s especially important that their judgement on the road is never clouded by frustrations or personal disputes with clients.

Punctual

If a chauffeur is nothing else, they should at least be on time. Clients typically have tight schedules, and it’s essential that chauffeurs do everything in their power to adhere to them. Bear in mind that punctuality should never come at the expense of safety. Rather, chauffeurs should anticipate hurdles and build extra time into their schedules to account for them.
