What you get

Why book rent a driver with Charlie

Vetted and licensed

Background-checked, licence and permit on file with expiry tracking, and insured to drive your vehicle.

Priced by the block

Hourly, half-day and full-day packages with a clear overtime rate, so running late doesn't mean an argument later.

Your car or ours

Most packages let the driver take the wheel of your own vehicle. Where you'd rather we brought one, that's an option too.

Made for a working day

Plan the stops up front. The driver waits between them — you're paying for the block, not per trip.

On retainer

Corporate accounts can keep a driver on standing arrangement and settle it on the monthly statement.

Insured, properly

Driving your vehicle is covered. We record which car was driven against the booking so there's no ambiguity afterwards.

Rent a driver

A professional at the wheel of your own car

By the hour for errands, by the day for meetings, or on retainer. Every driver is licensed, background-checked and insured.

Step by step

How the booking runs

Same shape as every other Charlie service — you’ll recognise it if you’ve booked with us before.
  1. 1

    Pick a package

    Choose the block of time you need in your city. Each package states its minimum and its overtime rate up front.

  2. 2

    Say whose car

    Your own vehicle — tell us what it is — or ask us to provide one, where the package allows it.

  3. 3

    Plan the stops

    Give us the pickup point and any itinerary. The driver holds between stops rather than being re-dispatched.

  4. 4

    Book and settle

    Pay on completion or on account. Overtime is charged at the published rate and itemised on the booking.

Good to know

Questions we get asked

Can the driver use my own car?

On most packages, yes — that's the usual case. A few packages always include a Charlie vehicle, and the booking form tells you which.

What counts as overtime?

Anything past the package's block of time, charged at the hourly overtime rate published on that package before you book.

Is there a minimum?

Hourly packages typically carry a minimum number of hours. It's shown on the card and enforced at booking, not sprung on you after.

Can I book the same driver again?

Tell us and we'll try. Regular arrangements are best handled as a corporate account so the schedule and billing sit in one place.

Are packages the same in every city?

No. Each city publishes its own packages and prices in its own currency, because the cost of running a driver isn't the same everywhere.
