Luxury shopping chauffeur

A luxury shopping chauffeur is a premium car and a professional driver booked by the hour for a shopping day: the car waits outside each boutique, purchases go straight into the boot, and you move between streets, cities and lunch without carrying a single bag. SilverDrive arranges it from Amsterdam at a price fixed before the day starts.

How a luxury shopping day works

Tell us where you want to go and roughly when, and your chauffeur collects you at your hotel or home. In Amsterdam that usually means the P.C. Hooftstraat and Van Baerlestraat, the Nine Streets in the canal ring and De Bijenkorf on Dam Square. The driver drops you at each door, keeps the car close by and holds your purchases securely while you continue. When an appointment runs long or you add a stop, the plan simply changes.

Many clients extend the day: Brussels for the Avenue Louise and the Sablon, Antwerp for its fashion and diamond quarter, or Düsseldorf's Königsallee, each a comfortable drive from Amsterdam in one uninterrupted leg. The same chauffeur stays with you all day, and the rear seat is a quiet place to rest between stops.

Who books a shopping chauffeur

Visitors staying at an Amsterdam hotel for a few days, couples marking an occasion, personal shoppers and stylists working with clients, and families who want a relaxed day in the city without public transport or parking. Hotels and concierges book on behalf of their guests, and the chauffeur coordinates with the hotel for the pickup and the return with the day's purchases.

How pricing works

A shopping day is booked by the hour, priced as one fixed figure for the block and the expected distance before the day starts. Hourly rates start and end in Amsterdam; a day that continues to Antwerp, Brussels or Düsseldorf is quoted as a whole, including the drive. Extending on the day is simple, and there is no meter running while you are in a boutique.

Choose a Mercedes-Benz S-Class or Maybach for a couple, or a V-Class when friends, family or a personal shopper come along and the boot has to hold the day's results. Discretion is standard: unmarked cars, a chauffeur who never discusses clients or purchases, and no name board unless you want one. For high-value pieces that must travel separately, see our high-value goods transport. Book by the hour or ask for a day plan.
