Private Chauffeur

FFGR Lyon deploys specialist security-trained chauffeurs for principals who require more than discretion — they require an active layer of protection. Every diplomatic movement begins with a thorough route assessment, counter-surveillance planning, and full coordination between your security detail and our ground team.

Our Close Protection Officers are SIA-licensed, former military and law enforcement professionals with extensive experience protecting heads of state, senior diplomats, and ultra-high-net-worth families across Lyon, the Home Counties, and the wider France.

From single-vehicle embassy transfers to full multi-vehicle convoys for state visits, FFGR Lyon provides a seamless command structure that ensures your principal arrives safely, punctually, and without incident — every single time.

Our armoured vehicle fleet includes the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Guard (VR6/VR7 rated), the BMW 7 Series Protection, and a specialist Sprinter VR4 for group principals. Every vehicle undergoes rigorous pre-deployment inspection and is equipped with run-flat tyres, encrypted communications, and first-aid equipment.

Convoy operations are coordinated through a dedicated operations controller who maintains real-time communication with all vehicles throughout the journey. Route changes, threat assessments, and emergency protocols are executed instantly and without disruption to the principal's schedule.

FFGR Lyon also provides advance vehicle and counter-surveillance services, working alongside your in-house security team or providing a fully self-contained protection detail for visiting principals who require a complete ground security solution during their stay in Lyon.

FFGR Lyon operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Early morning departures, late-night returns, last-minute changes at midnight — your chauffeur is reachable, responsive, and ready. A single WhatsApp is all it takes to set the day in motion.

Every FFGR chauffeur is background-verified, DBS-cleared, and trained in advanced VIP protocols. Immaculate dark uniform, white gloves on request, formal vehicle presentation before every journey. The person opening your door represents the standard of the house — and that standard is impeccable.

What is said in an FFGR vehicle does not leave it. No phones, no records, no curiosity. NDAs are available on request for long-term arrangements and high-profile clients. Your privacy is not a feature — it is a fundamental commitment.

Share your chauffeur's real-time position with your PA, your security team, or your family. FFGR Lyon provides live tracking on every journey — so the right people always know where you are, and everyone else does not.
