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.

(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-
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.

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.

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.
