Family Office Program — Quick Facts
A family office runs on vendors who behave like staff: consistent, discreet, and accountable to one point of contact. Ground transportation is the most personal vendor category on the books — the chauffeur sees the principal's home, schedule, family, and moods — and it is usually the category handled most casually, split between a consumer app, a local car company, and a driver on payroll.
This program consolidates all of it: principals, spouses, children, visiting family, and household staff ride under one account with one standard — vetted TLC-licensed chauffeurs, NDA-backed confidentiality, and statements that split cleanly across entities. The office gets one account manager who knows the household instead of a different dispatcher every ride. Multi-generational households can extend the same account through the family chauffeur program.

Most family offices arrive at this program from the same place: a driver on household payroll, and a spreadsheet showing what that really costs. Salary is the visible line. Under it sit payroll taxes, health coverage, workers' compensation, the vehicle itself, commercial insurance, Manhattan garaging, maintenance — and the structural problem no spreadsheet fixes: one employee cannot cover vacations, sick days, overlapping family schedules, or the day they resign.
A dedicated chauffeur program replaces the employment structure while keeping what the household actually values — the same trusted person at the wheel. The office pays for chauffeured hours, not idle payroll; the fleet is ours to maintain, insure, and garage; and coverage is engineered in, with a named backup chauffeur vetted to the same standard. The structure mirrors our Personal Driver Service, administered under the family office's account and billing.
One primary chauffeur learns the household — routes, preferences, school pickups — without adding an employee to the books.
Vacations, sick days, and simultaneous family schedules are covered by vetted backups — never by scrambling.
First Class SUVs and Mercedes-Benz S-Class vehicles we purchase, insure, garage, and maintain — not the estate.
A household is not one rider — it is a principal with a standing morning schedule, a spouse with a separate calendar, children with school runs and activities, parents visiting for the season, and staff who move between properties. The program holds all of it on one account: standing schedules load once and run themselves, on-demand rides book by text or call, and every rider keeps an individual profile so the chauffeur knows each passenger's preferences before the door opens.
Aircraft days are handled as one movement: tail-number tracking at Teterboro, Westchester, and every FBO we serve, chauffeurs planeside or at the FBO door, and ground schedules that shift automatically when wheels-up slips. Offices that route significant private-aviation volume pair this program with our private aviation partner program for planeside coordination as a standard.
Seasonal moves — the summer decampment to the Hamptons, school-year re-openings, holiday gatherings — are staged in advance with luggage-scaled vehicles, Sprinter Vans for staff and baggage, and one coordinator across the whole convoy. For the operational detail behind these programs, see the family office transportation guide. Seasonal properties can also be covered through Hamptons car service.
The people who actually book the rides are rarely the people who take them. Estate managers, house managers, chiefs of staff, and personal assistants hold authorized-booker access on the account: they schedule, adjust, and cancel across every rider, with confirmations and live chauffeur status flowing back to them — not just to the passenger. Approval rules are set to the office's preference, from open booking to per-ride sign-off.
Estate managers and assistants book for any rider on the account, each action logged and visible to the office.
School runs, commutes, weekly appointments — loaded once, executed every time, adjusted by one message.
Flights and tails tracked automatically; the assistant sees every leg's status without calling dispatch.
Discretion is not a promise on this program — it is procedure. Chauffeurs are background-checked, TLC-licensed, and NDA-ready before they take a household assignment; confidentiality agreements are executed before the first ride on request, including the office's own paper. Principals' names never appear in open dispatch traffic, itineraries are visible only to authorized staff, and nothing about a household's movements is discussed, logged for marketing, or posted — ever.
The vehicles carry the same posture: unmarked black First Class SUVs and Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedans with privacy glass, indistinguishable from any other black car in traffic. Compare that with consumer rideshare, where every trip generates a data trail tied to a personal account — a real consideration for offices that treat the principal's location history as confidential information. Offices with firm partners often coordinate similar controls through our legal & finance teams program.
Scoped per household and confirmed in writing — no published tables, no surge, no rate drift between quote and statement.
(888) 420-0177 with priority dispatch — household rides are assigned chauffeurs ahead of on-demand requests, 24/7.
One consolidated invoice, itemized by rider, date, and route — split by trust, LLC, or household so every ride hits the right ledger.
Itineraries and confirmations can carry the office's own letterhead — the household sees its own staff work, not a vendor's.
One person who knows the principals, the properties, and the standing schedules — not a ticket queue.
Vetted, TLC-licensed, NDA-ready chauffeurs under one standard in every market the family travels — no local vendor roulette.
Preferred choice for assistants, planners, and travel managers.

100+ cities, one standard
On negotiated program rates rather than published tables. Each household program is scoped on a call — riders, standing schedules, vehicle classes, cities — and priced as a program with rates confirmed in writing before the first ride. There is no surge pricing on any Detailed Drivers account, so the rate on the agreement is the rate on the statement.
Yes — that is the most common reason family offices engage us. An employed driver carries payroll taxes, health coverage, workers' compensation, vehicle purchase, commercial insurance, garaging, and a coverage gap every vacation, sick day, and resignation. A dedicated chauffeur program delivers the same continuity — the same chauffeur on request — with vetted backup coverage, a fleet we maintain and insure, and zero employment burden on the office.
Yes. Dedicated-chauffeur assignment is standard for principal programs: one primary chauffeur who learns routes, preferences, and household rhythms, with a named backup vetted to the same standard for coverage days. The structure mirrors our Personal Driver Service, administered under the family office's account.
However your accounting needs it. Statements consolidate to one net-30 invoice, itemized by rider, date, and route, and can be split by entity — trust, LLC, management company, or individual household — so each ride lands against the right ledger. One statement per entity, one account manager across all of them.
As an operating standard, not an add-on. Chauffeurs are background-checked, TLC-licensed, and NDA-ready — agreements are signed before a program's first ride on request. Principals' names never appear in dispatch chatter, itineraries are shared only with authorized staff, and vehicles are unmarked black cars with privacy glass.
Most programs are live within a week: a scoping call with the estate manager or chief of staff, rates confirmed in writing, rider profiles and authorized bookers loaded, and the dedicated chauffeur introduced before the first standing ride. Urgent single rides can run on the partner line at (888) 420-0177 the same day while the program is built.
