Pricing questions

Plans, pauses and payments

  • What’s included in the monthly price?

    The chauffeur’s salary, visa, insurance, training and our support. Fuel, tolls (Salik), parking and anything bought for you are added at cost to your monthly statement.

  • Can I pause my plan?

    Yes, with 7 days’ notice, for example while you travel. You pay only for the days used, plus a small daily fee to keep your chauffeur reserved.

  • How do I cancel?

    Give 7 days’ notice before your renewal date. Annual plans have their own terms in your agreement.

  • What’s the difference between monthly and annual plans?

    Both are paid monthly. An annual plan has a lower monthly price in return for a 12-month commitment.
