Long-distance private chauffeur
From 200 to 900 kilometres, a private chauffeur takes you from door to door. Here, route by route, is what it costs, how long it takes and when it beats the train.
The route
Each line is a detailed route with its own road log. Click a destination in the table to open it.
A ride across town lasts twenty minutes. A long-distance transfer means half a day on board: seat comfort, boot space, smooth driving and well-planned breaks matter far more than the make of the car.
We plan every trip like a small journey. The route is chosen according to your departure time (nobody drives through Lyon at 5pm on a Friday), breaks are scheduled roughly every two hours, and the vehicle is sized for your luggage, not just the number of passengers.
Our pricing is deliberately simple: a base rate of €2 per kilometre, which you can see before you even contact us. No hidden extra for an additional suitcase or a child seat. The final price takes into account the exact addresses, the time of travel and tolls, and is confirmed before you book.
On paper, the train is often faster. But as soon as there are three or four of you, with luggage, children or an address far from a station, a car with driver catches up and can even work out cheaper per person. The table below lets you compare.

Estimates based on €2 per kilometre from the city centre of departure. The final price depends on the exact addresses, time of travel, vehicle and tolls, and is confirmed before you book.
A comfortable saloon for up to 4 passengers with a reasonable amount of luggage, or a Mercedes V-Class van for up to 7 passengers or whenever the suitcases pile up. We will tell you frankly if your request needs a van.
Breaks are planned at service areas chosen in advance: clean toilets, decent coffee and room to stretch your legs. With children, we set the pace around their naps rather than the clock.
Leaving at 6.30am rather than 8am often saves 45 minutes getting out of Paris. We advise you on the best time slot for your destination and day of the week.
You deal with the same person from the quote request to drop-off: a change of time, a delayed flight or an unplanned stop can all be handled with a simple WhatsApp message.
Our estimates are based on €2 per kilometre: around €450 for Paris–Lille, €930 for Paris–Lyon or €1,700 for Paris–Milan. The final price depends on the exact addresses, time of travel, vehicle and tolls, and is confirmed before you book.
