Franchise Opportunities
Welcome to The Minster Chauffeurs Franchise. A franchise opportunity developed from many years experience and success that offers excellent earning potential and an interesting business lifestyle.
Few business opportunities offer more variety and interest than that of running your own chauffeur business where one phone call can take you and your service anywhere in the country, usually for interesting people who really value your service.
Whilst Britain's roads continue to become increasingly congested and company executives struggle to travel safely and securely throughout the country, there will always be a need for professional driver services.

Frequently Asked Questions:
- Q: Is the vehicle included in the franchise package?
- A: The vehicle is purchased in addition to the franchise – Minster Chauffeurs has an exclusive relationship with Volkswagen which allows a further 5% discount to the agreed purchase price from the recommended supplier. Subject to individual financial status, a deposit of approximately £2k is required prior to agreeing affordable repayment terms. The recommended vehicle is the Caravelle Executive people carrier, Volkswagen’s top of the range luxury MPV which is furnished with leather seating, dark privacy glass, climate control, table and re-configurable seating, powered by its 2.5 litre Turbo-Diesel 174PS TDI PD engine and Tiptronic automatic gearbox. Chosen for its reliability and superior practicability over other MPVs, the Caravelle Executive also offers cheaper maintenance costs than its competitors. All payments are made direct to the dealer and are not included in the franchise package fee. Each vehicle costs approximately £30k including VAT.
