Become A Chauffeur


HELP WANTED

Great Drivers Willing To Be Great Chauffeurs

Over All Job Description Summary:

You get to meet, service and know a lot of interesting people (sometimes celebrities). You will spend an average of 30 to 60 minutes with each of them each time you chauffeur them and their families.

You may pick-up these customers at their homes, offices, or hotels, taking them to and from the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (our limousine office and comfort area for our chauffeurs is located 5 minutes’ drive from the Atlanta airport domestic pick-up).


Waiting for pick-ups from the Atlanta Airport may take you north, south, east, or west of the airport (occasionally across the state line). You will learn a lot about people of all ages and their backgrounds. Most of our customers you will be driving and assisting have been vacationers and businesspeople who travel often. I feel regular weekly airport customers are the safest for the chauffeur to drive as well as our customers that depends on you for their safety. We also know the pickup and dropoff locations.


Who we are looking for now:

At this time, we are looking for chauffeurs who would like to stay most of their waiting time at our Atlanta Airport offices (it has all the comforts of home). You could stay there as much as 7 days per week 24 hours per day as long as you are on call to drive our customers with sometimes just a 15-minute notice for a pick-up only at the Atlanta Airport. All chauffeurs should have a good team working relationship and discussed what is best for each customer (shift work could work if you work it out with other chauffeurs, your requested work coverage availability would be needed in advance). You must be a non smoker, non alcoholic, must be ready for drug screenings.


Qualifications- (www.dds.ga.gov)

(1)  Our Commercial Insurance requires you must be at least 21 years of age and you must provide a recent 7-year MVR...(motor vehicle record from www.dds.ga.gov) with no tickets or points (your cost $8.) You must have a Georgia Driver’s license for at least 1 years.

(2)  After the chauffeur is approved by the insurance company. At this time you will need to get a chauffeur’s endorsement on your driver’s licenses (having a Chauffeur’s endorsement proves you have no felonies). Go to
www.dds.ga.gov, under “Driver’s for Hire License”. The site will instruct you where to get the $51 finger prints (get this first or close to the same day as the application is up loaded to the state).

Next, fill out the on-line application. Our company will give you a
limousine company letter and proof of insurance with your name added to it (you will up load these 2 documents with this on-line application) At this time you will pay a $15 fee on your filled out application to the DDS on-line. Once you are approved by the DDS for the “for hire” endorsement, you will receive your approval e-mailed letter back from the DDS.

You are now ready to take this chauffeur’s endorsement letter down to the DDS to pick-up your new driver’s license with the chauffeur’s endorsement added (they will charge you $20). Our company will need a copy of your new drivers license and then collect money from you to order your new yearly company airport badge ($15). 

Skills:

(1)  You must be an obviously convincing, safe and excellent driver for our company and to all of our customers. Getting tickets from police can’t happen.

(2)  You must have good service and people skills-

  • (A) Understand the chauffeur is hired to assist their paying customer driving them in addition to whatever else you can reasonably do for them during the time they are renting our service.

  • (B) Your regular customer will slowly want to get to know you, as you will be driving the same customers every week. You will also get to know them and you will both create a dedicated relationship because you are never late for their pick-up times and assist them with whatever they need during the trips you are driving for them. Some customers will tip larger amounts than others; the more they like you as a chauffeur the larger their tips. You may have conversations or no conversations while driving them, when you can tell them something they haven’t heard yet, that will increase tips. So keeping up with current news or interesting subjects they like will help most every time. If they are on their phone or their computer or conducting business, it is best to turn down the car radio and not talk with them unless you have a question that concerns the service you are giving them.



  • (C) Always load and unload your customer’s luggage; one main reason is because the customers tend to drag out their luggage from our trunks scratching our vehicles’ bumpers. Once you have arrived at their home text them you are sitting in their driveway and then start looking for their luggage sitting around outside to quickly load (sometimes customers turn on their outside lights and set their luggage outside while they are still getting ready to leave with you). Some customers are ready to leave if you arrive 15 minutes early, most are ready to leave at the time you ask them to be there. There are a few needing an extra 10 minutes, but the most important thing is you were not late. Never being late will let us keep this customer and their referrals of their friends.

  • (D) Most of our airport customers are older, so playing a Serious XM radio station like “The Blend” covers many decades of popular music, they will enjoy the entire ride to their destination with great memories from the musical past. You are never to listen to your own music with your private earpiece. It is not safe driving and the customer should not have to tap you on the shoulder or yell to get your attention; your customers will need the freedom of being able to talk with you with ease. Do not take private phone calls while driving your customers. Only take a call from dispatch or if it concerns the customer you are driving or the customer you are about to pick-up.

  • (E) Good prompt communication using text, cell phone calls, and in person with your customer before and during their limo rental with us is also a big key to your success with them. Understand why they are renting this limo and how you can best help them accomplish their reason for hiring you. Give them current pick-up and drop-off information about the Atlanta Airport. If they have rented you as an hourly charter find out how long will they will be inside of a building while you are waiting outside for them. Tell them to text you 5-10 minutes before they are ready for you to pull back up to the door to pick them back up. This way you can find a comfortable place you can park for however long they tell you they will be, turn the car off and be comfortable while you wait and don’t be late meeting them back at the meeting place.



Job Responsibilities:

(1.) In-between driving customers you will keep the vehicles vacuumed and cleaned and report problems with the vehicle to our management then assist management to maintain these vehicles with minor repairs on site or help drive these vehicles to our mechanics.

(2.) You will need to communicate with your customer, by text or calling them, hours before (or maybe the day before) your pick-up with them, in order to confirm the pick-up date, pick-up time, and phone numbers are correct. During this time you can confirm meeting locations and give directions to pick-up locations through the airport (you will be given a training tour throughout the airport so you can, if needed, instruct and guide your customer through the airport to meet you at your legal pick-up location).



(3.) You will need to make sure money has been collected from the customer for the trip you are driving. Most of the time our office has the customer’s credit card on file in the office and the fare is just charged from the office and you will not need to ask the customer for payment. Sometimes you will need to use our Square App on your phone to charge the customer’s credit card or collect cash. What ever the payment method, just make sure you know how our company got paid for the trip you are driving before you leave your customer. 

(4.) Check the limo around where the customer sat to make sure that they did not leave anything before you leave their home or airport otherwise you must take your time to bring it back to them.

Behold our office at 620 Peachtree Street, Atlanta, GA, located adjacent to the iconic Fox Theatre. It encapsulates the legacy of A Touch of Class Limousine Service in Atlanta, spanning from 1993 to 2002. The photograph features our dedicated office team, particularly the reservation department, providing a visual narrative of our commitment to excellence and longstanding service in the heart of Atlanta.

What Can I Earn?

Jobs are spread throughout the day with a less than 2 hour drive roundtrip airport job, with chauffeur pay averaging around $50. per flat rate airport trip; plus, what ever the customer tips the chauffeur (usually an average of $20. per airport trip). I would like to see you drive 5 airport trips per day; I have never been able to drive over 9 trips in one day myself.

Jobs charged to the customer by the hour (rather than a flat rate like most all airports are charged), the chauffeur pay ranges from $30. to $40. per hour (with at least a 2 hour minimum) depending on the rate per hour the customer is charged (for road trips the customer pays more per hour than if the customers rental is for a local event like going to a local dinner, concert, or ball game.


Customers tend to tip larger for these kind of trips, I think because they have had a good time at their event and you, the chauffeur, did all of your part correctly (like never be late and establish a meet again pick-up location) and not to let them down doing your part as a trusted limousine service. I can personally say I have received as high as a $600. cash tip 4 different times. Also, one of my chauffeurs’ did receive a $2,000. cash tip once. So, sometimes what you make depends on how well you do this job.

You will be given the training to earn these great tips. You could occasionally get as much as a 16 hour charter in one day. So, 5 trips per day X $50. = $250. Per day X 6 days per week = $1,500. weekly X 50 weeks per year = $75,000 you would earn. Plus this amount does not include your cash or charged tips. So, I think the best chauffeur could clear over $100,000. per year.

It is also recommended you soon form your own LLC or Corporation to include your working expenses like meals on the job and all your personal and all your personal money you may spend to make extra tip money.

If you are interested in applying for this independent contractor job, fill out the limousine chauffeur contractor job application below and submit.

You will then be contacted by a phone call for a short over the phone interview by Russell Moore. During this time you will make an appointment to meet at our Atlanta airport office.

You will then bring in your 7 year MVR and drivers license. This 2 hour interview and training begins the process of you being hired.
