5 Questions Every Executive Assistant Should Ask Before Booking a Chauffeur

Introduction

For executive assistants, time and reputation are everything. When your principal needs ground transportation, the difference between a smooth ride and a stressful one often comes down to the questions you ask before booking. Whether it’s for an airport transfer, corporate dinner, or a high-profile event, the right chauffeur partner can quietly make your job easier—and make your executive look great.

Here are five essential questions to ask before booking any chauffeur service.

1️⃣ How do you handle flight tracking and itinerary changes?

Executives’ schedules move fast—and so do their flights. A premium car service should track flights in real time and adjust automatically to delays or early arrivals.
At Sofia Lucas, chauffeurs receive live updates the moment a flight status changes. No waiting, no “where’s my driver” calls. We’re already in position when your principal lands.

2️⃣ Are your chauffeurs trained in executive protocol and discretion?

This is more than a background check. It’s about understanding executive-level etiquette—when to engage, when to stay silent, and how to anticipate needs without being intrusive.
Our chauffeurs go through ongoing training focused on professionalism, privacy, and VIP-grade service. From luggage handling to door positioning, every detail matters.

3️⃣ Can you accommodate last-minute changes or add-on trips?

Meetings get extended. Dinner plans shift. Flights get moved. A car service that can’t adapt will create unnecessary friction.
Sofia Lucas operates with a dispatch system designed for flexibility—so executive assistants can text, call, or email changes and expect immediate response and re-routing without drama.

4️⃣ What’s your communication protocol with EAs?

The best chauffeurs don’t just drive—they communicate clearly. You should always receive confirmation texts, driver details, and status updates without having to chase them down.
At Sofia Lucas, we treat the assistant as our primary client. You’ll receive real-time updates, direct driver contact, and confirmation when each transfer is complete.

5️⃣ What’s the experience like for the executive inside the vehicle?

Your principal shouldn’t just be transported—they should feel taken care of. Ask about vehicle cleanliness, amenities, Wi-Fi, bottled water, charging cables, and quiet comfort.
Each Sofia Lucas vehicle is detailed daily, stocked with premium amenities, and driven by chauffeurs who understand how to make a ride feel effortless and respectful of your executive’s space.

A truly professional chauffeur service doesn’t just move people—it protects time, image, and peace of mind.
When you partner with Sofia Lucas Executive Car Service, you’re choosing a team that understands the pressures and priorities of executive assistants. Because in our world, “on time” isn’t a goal—it’s a minimum standard.
