Chauffeurs are supplied with a luxury executive vehicle. Fuel cards and parking cards are supplied for expenses. Vehicles all have tracking systems and dash cams fitted in them where the operations team can monitor things like vehicle location, speed, and inappropriate driving behaviour and will communicate with chauffeurs throughout the day when required.
