Our Avis Chauffeur chauffeurs, the "Ambassadors" of our clients
Skills and specialist knowledge
The daily objective of Avis Chauffeur drivers is to always do their best to satisfy in a discrete way and to successfully complete their assignments.
Our drivers' professionalism makes it possible to provide VIP travel services in France, Europe and overseas and in nearly 600 cities worldwide.
Because our chauffeurs are the "ambassadors" of our clients, we provide you with professionals selected for the quality of their service, who are proactive and dynamic with strong and substantial experience in their trade.
Avis Chauffeur chauffeurs have a sense of welcome and service, are professional and skilled and constantly adapt to your needs guaranteeing you punctuality, presentation, courtesy, efficiency and discretion at all times.
Avis Chauffeur chauffeurs are easily identifiable by their smile and their availability and all work with an identical uniform (dark suit, white shirt, Avis tie) at the forefront of our requirements in terms of quality and presentation.
Avis Chauffeur's operational teams speak several foreign languages depending on your specific needs and those of the clients and guests you are transporting.
English, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Arabic, Chinese, Russian, Japanese etc.
Our chauffeurs are holders of the "Grande Remise" high-level public carriage licence, issued after police enquiries. Consequently, they are perfectly proficient in the rules of driving and highway code, know the best itineraries and have the technical knowledge that is indispensable for the smooth running and maintenance of the vehicles.
The permanent drivers have a permanent contract (and some of them have done so for the last ten years), a sign of a highly-developed corporate ethos.
The appraisal of our teams of chauffeurs and coordinators on the ground allows us to always offer you quality services tailored to your specific needs.
Trust in the quality of the Avis Chauffeur service for transporting your clients, guests, groups, families and friends...

Responsible chauffeur
Avis Chauffeur trains its drivers in "responsible and community-friendly" city driving.
This mainly covers awareness-raising for city driving which represents nearly 86% of the period of use of vehicles by our clients.
Every quarter we offer our permanent and temporary chauffeurs training in adopting driving methods that are more environmentally-friendly (organisation of specific training and handouts).
This awareness-raising reduces the quantities of fuel used for transport and contributes to preserving our environment.
Avis Chauffeur is thus committed to a process of carbon offsetting, aimed at meeting the target of reducing carbon emissions by 15% a year.

"Grande Remise" (high-level carriage) licence
Grande Remise: a regulated profession.
Transporting passengers in chauffeur-driven vehicles ( saloon cars , minibuses etc.) is a controlled and regulated activity.
Avis Chauffeur exercises its profession through the so-called "Grande Remise" (high level public carriage) licence.
"Grande Remise" vehicles are attached to the Ministry of the Interior by the Prefecture in the category of first class taxi.
Governed by the Ministry of Tourism, a certain number of obligations and constraints are attached to this, such as a vehicle approval for each Avis Chauffeur chauffeur-driven vehicle issued by the Préfet and a comprehensive civil insurance policy.
All our chauffeurs are holders of the "GR" licence obtained after vetting and a compulsory medical exam.
As such, Avis Chauffeur's "Grande Remise" vehicles have specific vehicle registration papers and have a distinctive "GR" front plate.
Only the so-called "Grande Remise" companies are authorised to carry out chauffeur-driven services.
Ask your supplier for his "Grande Remise" licence number.
