What it takes to Become a Bayside Limousines Chauffeur



We’re sometimes asked just what it takes to become one of our chauffeurs.

Well, it depends of course. No two people are the same and we all have our individual strengths and weaknesses. None of us are perfect!

So, when we’re looking at candidates, we use experience and judgement to look at the person in totality. We sum up many factors before reaching a conclusion. Generally, we don’t have a rigid list but it might surprise you to know that being able to throw a car around in a macho fashion isn’t something that impresses us at all.

In other words, the question is more complex than it might seem at first glance. However, when we’re looking at chauffeurs for Sydney luxury car hire services, we’ll typically value (not in order):

  • The highest demonstrable standards of personal integrity – this is critically important to our clients and therefore us.
  • Maturity of personal behaviour. This is nothing to do with age. Some people can be highly mature, responsible and trustworthy at 23, while others can still be behaving like adolescents when they’re 50.

Countries Banning Conventionally Fuelled Cars

A number of countries around the world have announced decisions to ban all new diesel / petrol (gas) power vehicles from their roads by a specified date (around 2030/2040).

We’d like to clarify what this means, at least as far as the announcements to date indicate.
·       
  •       At the time of writing, Australia hasn’t made any such declaration;
  •       The statements have been made by a few countries, most notably Britain and France;
  •       The announcements relate ONLY to new cars from that date onwards.
  •       Some confused reporting has almost suggested images of giant snowploughs driving all petrol and diesel engine vehicles physically off the road on 1st January 2030. This is NOT going to happen – this only applies to NEW vehicles from that time onwards.
  •      There remain some serious issues to be solved in the light of these decisions.

At the moment, it is far from clear if electric vehicle production will be able to take up the slack from 2030 (France) or 2040 (UK) onwards. It might still sound a science-fiction date but 2030 is only just over 12 years away and electric cars still suffer from technical limitations and a limited support infrastructure.
