Most people assume that taxis or ride-hailing apps like Uber are the cheapest way to get around London.
But for anyone who travels daily, whether for business, family commitments, or long-distance commutes, the cost of taxis adds up fast.
In reality, hiring a chauffeur for a month is often significantly cheaper, more reliable, and far more comfortable than taking taxis every day.
Here’s why.
London taxis and ride-share apps fluctuate constantly:
● Peak-hour surcharges
● Bad-weather surcharges
● Traffic-delay surcharges
● Airport pickup fees
● Late-night tariffs
A single rush-hour taxi from central London to Heathrow can cost £90–£160+, depending on the day.
When you hire a chauffeur for a month, the price is fixed, no matter the time, day, traffic conditions, or weather.
No surcharges No hidden fees No peak-time chaos No unpredictable expenses
This alone saves many clients hundreds to thousands of pounds every month.
Taxis charge for every single mile, minute, and delay.
A chauffeur does not.
With a monthly chauffeur hire:
● You get a fixed number of daily hours
● You decide the pickup time
● You decide the route
● You can make multiple stops
● You can use the same vehicle all day
● Your driver waits for you at meetings, offices, events, or schools
This is far more cost-effective than calling multiple taxis per day.
Example:
Someone who takes 4 taxi rides a day in London spends between £80–£160 daily.
That’s £2,400–£4,800 per month.
A chauffeur package from Crony Chauffeur Services is much lower and offers far more value.
With taxis, you wait:
● 5–20 minutes for a car to arrive
● Longer during peak hours
● Even longer when it rains
● Sometimes the driver cancels
But time = money, especially for executives and professionals.
A monthly chauffeur gives you:
A dedicated driver Always on standby Ready before you arrive Waiting outside your home, office, or hotel
You never waste time again.
Longer routes — like London to:
● Oxford
● Reading
● Milton Keynes
● Southampton
● Bristol
● Birmingham
● Manchester
— are extremely expensive in taxis because they charge per mile and per minute.
A chauffeur package gives you:
● A flat daily rate
● Unlimited mileage (depending on your plan)
● A premium vehicle
● A professional driver
● Snacks, water, WiFi, charging ports
● Full comfort for long journeys
You can travel anywhere in the UK without worrying about the meter ticking.
Instead of a standard taxi, you travel in:
● Mercedes-Benz V-Class
● Mercedes-Benz Jet-Class MPV
● Mercedes Jet Sprinter
● Executive Mercedes E-Class / S-Class
You enjoy full comfort every single day:
● Leather recliner seats
● Full privacy
● Climate control
● Spacious cabin
● WiFi & charging
● Bottled water
● Premium ride quality
Taxis cannot compete with this experience.
For businesses and executives:
● Arrive at meetings professionally
● Impress clients with a luxury arrival
● Work from the back seat
● Travel in privacy
● Avoid the stress of driving
Taxis offer none of these benefits.
Many companies now use monthly chauffeur hire as part of their professional branding.
A dedicated monthly chauffeur provides:
Fully vetted, DBS-checked driver Driver who knows your routine Familiarity with your family or staff Safe driving standards Door-to-door assistance 24/7 reliability
Taxis change drivers constantly — and reliability varies.
Typical Taxi Traveller in London:
● £80–£160 per day
● £2,400–£4,800 per month
● From £1,850–£3,000 per month (depending on hours & vehicle)
● Fixed price
● Unlimited use inside your time block
● No surprises
● Premium vehicle
● Dedicated professional driver
Result:
Most travellers save £1,000–£2,000 per month by switching to a monthly chauffeur.

✔ Cheaper
