Booking a private chauffeur in Paris takes less than 5 minutes. You need your pickup date, time, and location — and either a destination (for a fixed transfer) or a duration (for hourly disposal). Everything else — the driver, vehicle, and price — is confirmed before the journey begins.
Step 1: Choose Your Service Type
There are two main booking types:
Point-to-point transferA single journey from A to B at a fixed price. Examples: CDG airport to your hotel, hotel to a train station, Paris to Versailles.
Hourly disposal (mise à disposition)A driver and vehicle assigned to you for a set period — 3 hours, half-day, or full day. You direct the schedule. Useful for business visits, shopping days, event attendance, or touring.
Not sure which? If you have multiple stops or a flexible day, go with disposal. If you have one clear destination, book a transfer.
Step 2: Select Your Vehicle
Prestige Cab France operates a Mercedes fleet. Choosing the right vehicle comes down to how many passengers you have and the level of comfort you want.
| Vehicle | Passengers | Best for | |---|---|---| | Mercedes E-Class | 1–3 | Business solo, short trips | | Mercedes S-Class | 1–3 | Executive, VIP, long journeys | | Mercedes V-Class | 1–7 | Families, groups, lots of luggage | | Mercedes Maybach | 1–3 | Ultra-luxury, special occasions |

When booking, you'll provide:
- Pickup date and time
- Pickup address (or airport terminal)
- Destination address (for transfers)
- Number of passengers
- Special requests — child seats, luggage volume, language preference, water/refreshments
- Booking confirmation with all journey details
- Driver name and contact number (typically 24 hours before travel)
- Meeting point instructions (for airports: which terminal, which exit, what to look for)
For airport pickups, add your flight number — the driver uses this to track your arrival in real time.
Step 4: Receive Your Confirmed Quote
For fixed transfers, a price is confirmed before you pay anything. There are no hidden fees, no metered additions, and no surge. The price you receive is the price you pay.
For disposal bookings, the hourly rate is confirmed upfront with a minimum duration.
Step 5: Confirmation and Driver Details
Once booked, you receive:
Step 6: Day of Travel
For airport arrivals:Land, clear customs, collect luggage. Your driver is already in the arrivals hall with your name displayed. No searching, no calling.
For hotel or address pickups:Your driver arrives 5–10 minutes early. You receive a message when they are in position.
During the journey:The driver maintains professional silence unless you wish to talk. Wi-Fi is active, water is on board, the temperature is set. Your job is to relax or work.
