SECURE COURIER · DOOR TO DOOR · SAME DAY

One item, one car,
no hands in between.

Some things cannot go through a sorting hub: a signed original, a passport with a visa in it, a canvas on its way to a buyer. A chauffeur collects the item from your hand, drives it in a locked car and gives it to the named person at the other end. You watch the car on My Ride, and the delivery is signed for.

01 / How it works

The item never leaves the car until it reaches the right person.

A parcel service moves your item through vans, depots and sorting belts, and every one of those is a place where it can be dropped, delayed or signed for by the wrong person. A chauffeured courier removes all of them. One chauffeur collects the item at your address, places it in the boot or on the rear seat of a black Mercedes-Benz, locks the car and drives straight to the delivery address. There is no depot, no overnight hub and no second driver.

If your own courier, lawyer or registrar must stay with the item, they ride in the same car and the chauffeur simply drives. Either way you receive the My Ride link when the car is dispatched and follow it on a map from your desk, and dispatch messages you when the item has been collected and again when it has been handed over.

02 / What travels this way

Art, originals, prototypes and papers that must not wait.

Art and antiques

A framed work to a gallery on the Spiegelgracht, a piece from an auction house to a private collection, a loan between museums. A Van Class takes a large crate flat; a First Class takes a small work on the seat beside your registrar.

Jewellery and watches

From a workshop to a client, from a boutique on the P.C. Hooftstraat to a hotel suite, or to a valuer in Antwerp. The piece stays with the chauffeur, or with your own staff member in the car, from door to door.

Contracts, deeds and signed originals

Notarial deeds, share transfers, wet-ink signatures that a courier hub would turn into a two-day wait. Delivered to a named lawyer or registrar, on the day, and signed for on arrival.

Prototypes and samples

A pre-release device, a mould, a sample set for a buyer in Eindhoven or Düsseldorf. Nothing is opened or left on a shelf; it goes from your engineer’s hands to your client’s.

Passports and visas

A passport due back from a consulate in The Hague, or one that must reach a traveller in Rotterdam before a flight. Collected and delivered in person, never left with a receptionist unless you say so.

03 / From your hand to theirs

Four steps, and you can see three of them on a map.

01
Send the brief

What the item is, roughly its size, the collection address and time, the delivery address and the name of the person who may receive it. A WhatsApp message is enough; dispatch replies with one fixed all-in price.

02
Collection

The chauffeur arrives in a suit, confirms the item with the person handing it over and places it in the locked boot, or on the rear seat if it must travel upright. You receive the My Ride link and a message that the item is on board.

03
The drive

Straight to the address, with no stops unless you have asked for one. The car is locked whenever the chauffeur is out of it, and you can watch its position the whole way.

04
Signed handover

The chauffeur hands the item to the named recipient only, takes a signature and the time, and dispatch confirms delivery to you in writing. If the recipient is not there, the chauffeur calls you before doing anything else.

04 / What it costs

Quoted as one fixed figure, from the published rates.

A courier run is priced like any other point-to-point ride: per kilometre, quoted as one all-in amount before you confirm, taxes included, with no meter and nothing added on the day.

Business Class · Mercedes E-Class or EQE
€3.42 / km
Documents, small cases, one person escorting · quoted as one fixed amount
Van Class · Mercedes V-Class
€4.44 / km
Crates, framed works and anything that must travel flat
First Class · Mercedes S-Class
€6.79 / km
When your registrar travels with the piece and the client meets the car
Short runs inside Amsterdam
from €50
Minimum fare up to 10 km in Business Class (€70 Van, €90 First)
Waiting while it is signed
€65 / h
Hourly hire in Business Class, minimum 2 hours, for collect-sign-return runs inside one city

A run booked within 12 hours of collection carries the 10% short-notice surcharge; that is the only extra. Belgium and Germany are quoted door to door the same way, one-way or with the return leg.

05 / What we do not do

Plain limits, stated before you book.

A chauffeur company is not a freight forwarder, and it helps to know where the line is:

We do not transport cash and we are not a security company; the item travels with a chauffeur in an unmarked premium car, not in a convoy
We carry what fits in the boot or on the seats of a Mercedes-Benz; no pallets, no crates that need a tail lift
We do not act as a customs broker; for goods that need export or import paperwork, you prepare it and it travels with the item
We do not open sealed packages and we do not carry anything hazardous or unlawful
We do not sell or arrange cover for the item; if your insurer sets conditions, tell us and the ride is planned to meet them
Same-day delivery depends on distance and traffic; dispatch tells you what is possible before you confirm, not after
06 / Send the brief

Tell dispatch what travels, where and when.

Item, size, addresses, collection time and the name of the person who may receive it. Dispatch answers on WhatsApp with one fixed price and the earliest collection slot. For a run that must leave within the hour, call instead: the same number rings at dispatch day and night.

08 / Questions, answered
Who actually carries the item?

One of our chauffeurs, in one of our own black Mercedes-Benz cars, from collection to delivery. If your policy or your client requires it, your own courier, registrar or colleague rides in the car with the item and the chauffeur only drives. There is never a second vehicle or a handover in between.

Can I see where the item is?

Yes. Every ride comes with a My Ride link that shows the chauffeur’s live position on a map, and dispatch sends a message when the item has been collected and when it has been handed over. Your legal or finance team can hold the same link.

How fast can it be delivered?

Within the Netherlands, usually the same day: Amsterdam to Rotterdam or Utrecht is a matter of an hour or two door to door. Brussels, Antwerp, Düsseldorf and Cologne are same-day runs when the item is ready in the morning. A booking made within 12 hours of collection carries the 10% short-notice surcharge and nothing else.

What proof of delivery do I get?

The chauffeur hands the item only to the person you have named, takes a signature and notes the time, and dispatch confirms delivery to you in writing. If the named person is not available, the chauffeur calls you before leaving the item with anyone else.

Is the item covered while it travels?

We are a chauffeur company, not an insurer, and we do not sell or arrange cover for what you send. Arrange transit cover as you would for any courier, and tell us if your insurer sets conditions such as a named recipient, no stops or an escort in the car, so the ride is planned to meet them.

Can the chauffeur wait while a document is signed and bring it back?

Yes. For a collect, sign and return run inside one city, hourly hire from €65 in Business Class, minimum two hours, is usually the right shape. For a round trip to another city, dispatch quotes the whole loop as one fixed price with the waiting time built in.

From your hand to theirs, in one car.
