Deal teams, limited partners and founders all need to be in the right room on time. Transport should be invisible when it works.

Private equity and venture capital firms in Singapore use chauffeur services for limited partner visits, founder meetings, deal-week movement and visiting partners from other offices. The best arrangement is simple: one WhatsApp channel, one itemised invoice and drivers who treat everything they hear as confidential.
Singapore is a regional hub for funds, with teams based around Raffles Place, Marina Bay and Robinson Road. Most days involve short CBD trips. A few days a year, such as an annual meeting, a closing or a LP roadshow, involve intense transport demand. This guide covers both.
Investment teams need punctual pickups, discretion and cost they can allocate. Conversations in the car can include deal names, valuations and strategy, so drivers must be trained to stay silent and sign a confidentiality agreement.
Our chauffeurs are background-screened and bound by non-disclosure terms for client-facing work. For billing, itemised invoices carry a reference per booking, which finance teams use to allocate cost to a fund, deal or entity.
Limited partner visits are about relationship, and the airport arrival is the first moment of contact. The driver tracks the flight, meets the LP at arrivals with a name sign and handles luggage. Free waiting time is 60 minutes after landing.
Airport transfers start from SGD 80 for a sedan and SGD 110 for a Toyota Alphard at standard rates. For annual meetings with many LPs, assign vehicles per arrival, and use a shared shuttle loop for the group dinner. Our guides to VIP airport transfers and group airport transfers explain how to coordinate this.
Deal weeks involve long, unpredictable days. Negotiations overrun, signing is delayed, and the team needs to move between law firms, the office and a closing dinner. An hourly booking, with a 4-hour minimum, keeps one driver on call.
Hourly rates start from SGD 65 per hour for a sedan and SGD 90 per hour for an Alphard at standard rates. Time beyond the booked hours is billed as 0.5 hour if under 20 minutes, or 1 hour if 20 minutes or more. ERP and standard parking are included. If the day runs past 11pm, a SGD 15 per hour late-night supplement applies from 11pm to 7am. See our hourly chauffeur service guide.
Visits to founders and portfolio companies spread beyond the CBD to one-north, Jurong, Changi Business Park and the tech clusters in the east. Point-to-point transfers start from SGD 65 for a sedan and SGD 90 for an Alphard.
For several visits in a day, an hourly booking is simpler than separate rides. The driver can wait at each stop, and the investor can prepare for the next meeting in the car. For quick CBD hops, a standard point-to-point ride is enough. See our point-to-point transfer guide.
A realistic deal-week day shows why one driver is better than several rides. The partner leaves the hotel at 8:30am for a breakfast meeting in Marina Bay, moves to a law firm near Raffles Place at 10am, takes a lunch at a restaurant in the CBD, and visits a portfolio company at one-north in the afternoon. The day ends with a closing dinner and a late return.
With an hourly booking, one driver stays with the partner, repositions between stops and keeps the car ready. The partner can make calls in the cabin, review documents and stay on schedule. At the standard rate of SGD 65 per hour for a sedan, a 10-hour day is SGD 650, with ERP and standard parking included.
Ask the assistant to share changes through the same WhatsApp channel, instead of calling the driver. It creates a written record, and the dispatcher can adjust the next pickup immediately.
Share the draft schedule with us the day before, so we can flag timing risks early, such as a meeting that is too close to a long cross-island trip.
Choose the vehicle by the passenger and the purpose. An executive sedan suits one or two investors on a CBD run. A Toyota Alphard suits a partner who wants to work in the cabin, or a small team of three or four travelling together with luggage.
For a group of LPs or a full deal team, a 7-seater MPV from SGD 100 or a 13-seater Hi-Roof from SGD 130 keeps everyone together. Our executive vehicle guide compares the options.
Discretion matters because investors discuss sensitive matters in the car. Drivers should not take calls on speaker, should not repeat anything they hear, and should not ask about the passenger's business. The best drivers are simply quiet and professional.
Agree a few ground rules with your provider: no passenger names on signage at public pickups unless requested, no social media posts about clients, and no sharing of itineraries beyond the dispatcher. The duty-of-care checklist in our duty of care guide covers the wider safety points.
A corporate account suits funds because it gives one invoice, one channel and a clear record of every trip. Each booking can carry a fund, deal or entity reference.
Net-30 payment terms are available to established accounts after review. For a new account, terms are agreed at setup. Read our corporate chauffeur account guide for the full setup, and our guide for financial institutions for the wider sector.
Booking rules matter when plans change quickly. Point-to-point pickups include 15 minutes of free waiting, then SGD 20 per 15-minute block applies. Changes to pickup time need one hour of notice.
Cancellations more than 48 hours before pickup are 90% refundable, more than 24 hours are 45% refundable, and under 24 hours are not refundable. Deals are volatile, so build the cancellation tiers into your planning. For the complete rules, see our waiting time, cancellation and overtime policy.
Setting up takes a short conversation. Tell us the main contact, the regular passengers, the usual locations and how invoices should be addressed. We confirm rates before the first booking, and from then on requests run through WhatsApp at +65 8092 7662.
Rates are fixed once confirmed. High-demand dates, such as major events, are quoted separately before you confirm. If your team travels to the region frequently, ask about a standing arrangement for recurring airport runs.
