On Account

The difference between a car you hail and a car you keep is the account. Rides happen first; payment is reconciled later, as one monthly statement. Here is exactly how it works.

Statement of TermsNo card at the curb

01The account

You open a standing personal account once — your vehicle class, your usual addresses, your billing contact and any standing instructions. After that, you simply ring the desk.

02How rides post

Each completed ride records a base fare and any true pass-through costs — tolls, airport fees, parking, extended wait. Nothing is settled at the curb.

03Gratuity, your way

Set a standing preference: a fixed percentage included on the statement, or left for you to give the chauffeur directly. The choice is yours and easy to change.

04One monthly statement

At month’s end the rides consolidate into a single itemised statement — by date, route and rider — that you or an assistant can reconcile in one pass.

05Discretion as standard

Addresses, manifests and travel patterns are treated as confidential. For executives whose movements are sensitive, that is the entire reason to keep a private car.
