For people who love driving and the open road, there are many attractions in the idea of becoming a professional driver.
To add these sights, you only need to think about how plausible the fact of life, which for most of us is the only way we will ever manage some of the most prestigious limousines, is that we act as a chauffeur for someone. then another.
This can be an interesting and profitable career, and if you are thinking about moving into it, here are some tips on what you need.
1. Maturity. This is usually considered both in terms of your attitude towards life and for your age. Relatively few if any private customers or limousine rental companies will take on very young chauffeurs, as they cannot be considered sufficient for driving to cope with luxury cars.
Keep in mind also that some insurance policies for luxury cars may have a minimum age of 25, 30 or 35 years.
2. Pure driver's license and entry. It may be difficult to convince the employer to take you seriously if you have a history of automotive or other beliefs.
3. Impossible professional appearance. In some situations, your employer may require you to wear a uniform or work uniform, although this is becoming less common. More realistically, they can expect you to dress immaculately and show particular pride in your personal appearance. Cruelty, untidy appearance and personal hygiene problems will be completely unacceptable.
4. Full commitment to personal discipline. Your employer, whether a person or a limousine, hires a company, will not tolerate anything less than 100% work ethic and reliability associated with it. Rejecting, forgetting to put something in your diary, not allowing enough time to get to your destination - all these things and others like them will not be allowed in this business.
5. Service orientation. People will pay a significant amount of money to you and your employer to provide them with impeccable service. Thus, you will need to have such a person who does not mind opening doors for people and addressing your clients as “sir” and “madame”, unless they invite you to it otherwise. If you are one who considers it a humiliating and insulting submission (in fact it is not), you will not make a chauffeur.
6. Perhaps your limousine. Some luxury car rental companies use drivers with their own cars, which allows them to meet their minimum eligibility criteria, many of which will be similar to those listed above. If you are applying as a driver for driving other cars, expect the selection standards to be even higher.
7. A lover of prestigious cars and a commitment to their appearance and performance. Different limousine rental companies may have different expectations in terms of your participation in such things as cleaning and maintenance, but you are expected to maintain your car in absolutely perfect condition both inside and outside, and sometimes participate in some of their normal maintenance operations.
As in many industries, securing your first position can be difficult because you will not have a visible reputation as an experienced driver. So make the applications and be realistic initially about the salary level you can give to the team and the nature of the vehicles you can ask to drive outside.
