They also have super-luxury Bentley and Rolls-Royce chauffeur cars if you want to make your journey even more special.
The biggest advantage of hiring a chauffeur, is that the chauffeur can be waiting for you as you come through to the arrivals hall. He or she will be waiting with a name board, and from their direct you to the chauffeur vehicle. This is particularly great if you are a little jaded after a long flight!
