Why drive yourself when you don’t have to?

Let me tell you a quick story, about Samatha, an accountant (yes, purely anecdotal).

Last month, a local accountant booked me for the day. She had four client visits across Hamilton, each in a different suburb, plus a late-afternoon meeting in Cambridge. Normally, she drives herself, juggles Google Maps, battles for parking, and ends up sending “Running 5 mins late!” texts. She’s good at what she does, but like most professionals, she was burning mental energy before she even got to the client.

That day? She didn’t touch her steering wheel once.

Instead, she reviewed notes in the back seat, made a few calls in peace, and even stopped for a proper lunch. She told me later it was the first time in ages she felt “on top of the day” instead of behind it.

That’s exactly what this service is about: helping you focus on your work, not your transport.

Who is this driving service for?

If you’re a professional who moves between clients, courts, clinics, or offices, this service was designed with you in mind.

Common clients include:

• Barristers and solicitors
• Accountants
• Architects and engineers
• Consultants and business coaches
• Healthcare professionals
• Event organisers

The problem with DIY driving

Sure, you can drive yourself. That’s what most professionals do.

But let’s be honest, how efficient is it, really?

• You lose 10–15 minutes per stop trying to park.
• You’re constantly checking the clock.
• You can’t catch up on emails or prep between meetings.
• And if you hit traffic or delays, your whole day’s off-kilter.

Even with Uber or taxis, it’s hit or miss. Different driver every time, inconsistent vehicle quality, unreliable wait times, and you can’t leave your gear in the car while you duck into a client site.

That’s where The Driver is different. One vehicle. One consistent, discreet, professional driver. Booked by the hour, no rush, no pressure.

What’s included in the service?

Hourly bookings are tailored around your day.

Whether it’s two hours or ten, I stay with you throughout. That means:

• Pick-up at your chosen location.
• Wait and return service – no need to rebook or find another ride.
• Flexible routing – add stops, detour for lunch, adjust as needed.
• Secure vehicle – leave your materials in the car safely.
• Consistent experience – the same driver throughout.

You’re free to work, rest, eat, make calls, or just zone out between meetings.

How does it work?

Booking is simple:

1. Tell me your schedule – where, when, and for how long.
2. Lock in a time window – from an hour’s minimum to full-day bookings.
3. Show up and relax – I’ll handle the route, timing, and logistics.

Need to adjust on the fly? No problem. Flexibility is built in.

Based on my own professional experience of a typical day, most clients will likely book:

• 2-3 hours for a half-day round of meetings
• 4-6 hours for site visits and multiple client calls
• Full-day bookings for regional or multi-city travel

So, are you ready to optimise your time? It makes sense. Driving time is normally dead time.

What Makes This Different?

The difference is in the detail and the mindset.

You’re not just hiring a ride. You’re outsourcing the mental load that comes with managing your own travel during a workday.

That includes:

• No stress over parking – I drop you at the door.
• No worries about timing – I manage the traffic so you don’t have to.
• No dealing with strangers – You get a clean, comfortable vehicle and a driver who understands discretion and professionalism.
• No logos, no branding – Just a premium private car, inside and out.

This isn’t a taxi. It isn’t a ride share. It’s a seamless part of your business day.

A Better Way to Work

Another client anecdote, a barrister, booked me for four hours. His day included court in the morning, a quick stop to pick up documents, and a final mediation session at a local firm. Normally, he uses her own car but dreads central city parking.

This time, he walked straight out of court and into a waiting car. No circling the block. No parking tickets. No delay. Between stops, he updated her case files and made two client calls without missing a beat.

It wasn’t just more convenient, it made them better prepared. And they could bill for their time.

That’s the point. Driving time is normally dead time.

How the pricing for my driving service works.

Hourly rates are simple and transparent:

• 1-hour minimum
