Oxford
A chauffeur service that is actually in Oxford.
Not a national booking site with an Oxford page. The cars are here, the chauffeurs know which end of the High Street you can stop at, and the price for the journey you are thinking of is printed before you ask for it.
The city
Where a car can actually stop.
Central Oxford is filtered rather than closed. The High Street, George Street and the bus gates at Castle Street, Magdalen Street and Folly Bridge are limited to buses and licensed hire vehicles for most or all of the day, and the county has been running traffic filters at six more points since the autumn of 2026 under an experimental order, with licensed vehicles able to apply for a permit.
The practical effect for you is simple. A licensed chauffeur car can set you down at the High Street, St Aldate’s, Broad Street, St Giles’ or Parks Road — within reach of most colleges, the Randolph, the Ashmolean and the Sheldonian — where a private car would be turning round somewhere else.
The pedestrianised core around Cornmarket and Queen Street sits inside the Zero Emission Zone, and no car of ours goes in there. The set-down points above are the ones that work.

What it is used for
Four things, mostly.
Airports. Most of the work. An early car to Heathrow, or being met inside arrivals with sixty free minutes after a late landing.
Business. A meeting in London and back in the day, a site visit, a client collected from the station. Invoiced to the company, line by line, if that suits you better than paying by card.
Days out and occasions. Blenheim, the Cotswolds, a raceday, a wedding, dinner with the car waiting. Usually taken by the hour, from £62 with a 3-hour minimum.
Family travel. XL and Luxe XL both take 7 people and 6 large cases, which covers most of the half-term runs we do.

Questions
What is the difference between a chauffeur and an ordinary private hire booking?
A chauffeur is booked in advance for a named journey at an agreed total, in a car kept for the purpose, with the same chauffeur for the whole hire and no meter running. You know the price and the person before the day.
Can the car reach the city centre?
Yes, within the rules that apply to any licensed private hire vehicle. Several central streets are filtered rather than closed, and a licensed car may use points a private car may not — which is why a collection from a college or a hotel in the middle is usually simpler by chauffeur than by private car.
How far in advance should I book?
As early as you can for an early-morning airport run, which is the busiest hour of the week. Anything else is usually possible at shorter notice, and the form will tell you straight away whether the car is free.
Do you cover the rest of Oxfordshire?
Yes, and beyond it. Journeys are priced from wherever you are collected, and the published pages cover the towns and villages that ask most often.
