Bookings & General Information
How to book a private chauffeur in Paris with Parisian Drives?
Booking is very simple via our online booking simulators. Select your service (Transfer, Hourly), enter your pick-up and drop-off addresses, choose your vehicle, and confirm. You will receive a confirmation within a few hours.
How far in advance should I book for Paris Fashion Week?
Demand during Fashion Week is exceptionally high, and our exclusive fleet is often fully booked weeks in advance. We highly recommend reserving your dedicated chauffeur at least 2 to 4 weeks prior to your arrival in Paris.
What happens if my event runs late or my schedule changes?
We understand that VIP events and Fashion Week schedules are highly unpredictable. If you book our "As Directed" hourly service, your chauffeur remains exclusively at your disposal for as long as needed. Any extra hours will simply be added to your final invoice.
What is the cancellation policy?
All our transfers can be canceled free of charge up to 24 hours before the scheduled pick-up time. Simply send us an email or a WhatsApp message.
When will I receive my chauffeur's details?
You will receive your chauffeur's contact details (name and WhatsApp number) as well as the vehicle's license plate approximately 24 hours before the scheduled time of your trip, to facilitate your meeting point.

Our Services & Travel
Can you drop us off directly at our hotel?
Absolutely. Unlike the TGV, RER, or buses, our VTC service is a door-to-door transport. We drop you off right at the reception of your hotel or at the doorstep of your Airbnb.
Can we book a long-distance trip as an hourly service?
Yes, you can book a vehicle by the hour for your long distances or sightseeing tours. This gives you complete flexibility over your schedule and route.
Can I make stops during a "City to City" (Long Distance) trip?
Of course. Your long-distance trip includes regular breaks at your convenience for food or rest. If you wish to plan extended sightseeing stops along the way, please mention it when requesting your quote.
Can we stop to take photos along the way?
Absolutely. During our "Paris City Tours", our service is 100% private and flexible. Your chauffeur will stop upon request near the monuments (Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe) so you can take photos in complete peace.
Is the chauffeur also a tour guide?
Our chauffeurs know Paris perfectly and will gladly share their best anecdotes and local tips. However, they are not certified tour guides to accompany you inside the museums.
Rates & Payment
Can I book an hourly service for less than 4 hours?
You can absolutely use the vehicle for just 1, 2, or 3 hours if your schedule requires it. However, to guarantee the exclusive availability of a premium vehicle and a dedicated chauffeur just for you, the invoicing is based on a flat 4-hour minimum block.
How do I pay for my booking?
We offer several secure payment methods: online payment in advance via Stripe, or payment inside our vehicles directly to the chauffeur (by credit card or cash).
Can the rate increase due to traffic jams?
No. At Parisian Drives, our prices are 100% fixed. You will pay exactly the price displayed on your quote or during your booking, with no surcharges due to traffic conditions.
Do you offer promo codes or discounts?
Yes, to reward our clients' loyalty and celebrate major events (Christmas, Black Friday, Fashion Week...), we regularly share promo codes. Simply enter your code in the "Promo Code" field on the booking form. The price of your transfer will instantly update with the applied discount.
* Promo codes apply exclusively to our point A to point B transfers (Airports, Disneyland, Long Distance). They are not valid on our hourly packages.
