TRIED & TESTED Tristar Worldwide Global Chauffeur Service
WHAT: Tristar Worldwide Global Chauffeur Service WHERE: More than 80 countries TRIP REVIEWED: London E1 to Gatwick COMMISSION: 10%
I’ve never really bought into that whole ‘the holiday starts when you lock your front door’ nonsense. With the hassle of security queues and flight delays, it often feels a lot like hard work right up until the wheels are off the runway. But
having used the Tristar Worldwide Global Chauffeur Service, I could be convinced to revise my opinion. There’s nothing particularly pleasant about leaving the house at 5am, but having a besuited chauffeur with a spotless estate waiting prompt and ready really helped. I’m often disappointed by how many airport taxi services don’t keep an eye on traffic and road closures, but Tristar’s Bogdan was on top of everything, getting me from London E1 to Gatwick in
record time – just one hour. And the journey was smooth enough for me to apply mascara without any eye-gouging. Tristar offers a highly professional service that would be suitable for business clients or the high-end leisure traveller. With a 99% on-time performance it hardly seems necessary, but for those sticklers for timekeeping its Platinum Service on-time guarantee means that if a car is even one minute late for a pick-up, the journey is complimentary.
With offices in London, Manchester, Paris, Boston, New York and Hong Kong, Tristar has a fleet of more than 500 vehicles, and offers transfers to events as well as airport transfers. It also offers tours with a driver-guide and a chauffeured car for days out. Tristar pays agents 10% commission. To set up an account, contact the business development team by emailing
