A livery is a large passenger vehicle, usually a luxurious automobile, that is usually driven by a chauffeur. These vehicles sometimes have partitions separating the passenger compartments from drivers' seats. The term livery is also used to describe a small bus or van that is used to ferry passengers on a regular route such as between the downtown area of a city and an airport. Livery service is often provided by what we have come to term as limousine services. It is important that you know everything about the people who drive these vehicles, chauffeurs. One way of doing this is getting answers to FAQs or frequently asked questions.

Who is a livery service chauffeur? A chauffeur is a profession who has been trained and who is certified by the relevant regulatory body to drive an automobile that falls under the field of a livery. The training is more that what a normal driver goes through since most of the livery service vehicles are longer than normal cars and therefore harder to navigate. Chauffeurs need more training than the average driver because they are involved in public transport. What is the history of the term 'chauffeur'? The term comes from the French term for a stoker since the earliest vehicles, as is the case with rail and sea vessels, were steam-powered and required the driver to stoke the engine.

What are the legal requirements to be a livery service chauffeur? The legal requirements vary from one country to the next. However, this usually depends on capability, registration, training, health, age, criminal record, driving experience, and local geographic knowledge. What are the advantages of a livery service chauffeur? The greatest advantage of these chauffeurs is the fact that you get unparalleled convenience and comfort since you will not do the driving. Convenience is also from the fact that you need not bother about such things as learning the country's driving code if you are not a resident and you do not need an international driver's license. With a chauffeur, you can go anywhere you want to go and you do not need to worry about such things as drinking, meaning you will have a greater time. Livery service chauffeurs know their way around, meaning you can go wherever you wish, and they know the best places to sleep, eat, and visit, meaning you will have your own personal guide.

What should one look for in a livery service chauffeur? Your livery service chauffeur should be willing to undergo random drug screening and drug tests, should know how to repair a car, should be reliable, and should keep time.
