What is a personal driver ?

A personal driver provides transportation services for individuals from one destination to another.
It is paramount that a personal driver carries his duties professionally while maintaining diligence in traffic, navigation, and time consciousness. He can offer his services to firms or private citizens. The vehicle he uses to accomplish these tasks can be his or the organization's transport. The demand for personal drivers is constantly on the rise because of the complexity of transport services and networks worldwide.

How to choose a personal driver

Choosing a personal driver is not hard, however, there are some criteria to look for.
  • Referral: before you choose a personal driver, they should have good referees. These referees serve as a guarantee that you can fall back on, should you have any scruples with your personal driver.
  • Experiences: you should always choose a driver with a good number of road experiences. It is based on these experiences that you will be able to know if they can handle this job well.
  • Region familiarity: a personal driver that is familiar with your desired route should be your priority. They should be familiar with the road networks in your city and town to make their job easier.
  • Test/pre-screened: you should choose a personal driver that has passed your test. All road worthiness tests should be placed on them before they are employed to ascertain they are fit for the job.

At Morgan & Mallet International, we use those criterias to find for you the best personal drivers.

Now that we've established how to choose this person, let's find out the important qualities he has to have.

Qualities of a personal driver

An individual needs to look for certain qualities in a personal driver before engaging in the services of one. These include;
  • Skills
The most important quality of a personal driver is that they should be able to handle their job well. They are required to be able to avoid certain road pitfalls and any unforeseen occurrence that one may face during traffic.
  • Self-discipline
Personal drivers should have self-discipline. These traits allow them to avoid unnecessary exercises on the road like drinking while driving or road competitions.
  • Alertness
They should be able to stay alert throughout the journey. This can be done by avoiding unnecessary noise like music and eating while driving.
  • Responsibility
Your personal driver must be a responsible individual. They should always be considerate of all their actions and take care of their clients. What their clients think of their actions should be their priority.
  • Patience and Loyalty
These two attributes cannot be jettisoned when looking out for a personal driver. A patient driver will not be rash or rugged when on the road. As a critical member of the household staff, a driver should always be loyal.

Why should you get a personal driver?There are multiple reasons why you should get a personal driver. First, time flexibility. Getting a personal driver allows you to perform other duties that are important to you.

In addition, we have the status enhancement. A personal driver allows people to see you in a better-placed status. Highly placed individuals in the society have drivers, therefore getting one will place you in that category.

Last but not least, security reasons. Most drivers also serve as a layer of security to their employers. Getting one will reduce the security risk you may be faced with.
