How to hire private drivers

My impromptu 3 week solo UL trip is beginning to take form. I really wish I had the courage to rent a car, but out of consideration for society, I’ll refrain lol

That said, while I do plan to use some public transport, I’m winging much of this trip and would love to venture out with the freedom of a vehicle.

Is it possible to hire a driver last minute? What about for a few days? What are the best companies to use? I know it’s not inexpensive. I’m concerned about safety and convenience.

Thank you!

Hi, juliebeth, yes, it is possible to hire a driver, but a lot depends on where you are traveling to (hence the questions above), as there may be local drivers available. So conceivably you could take the train from base to base, then inquire into private drivers for local transport.

Or other options include rental agencies. For example, Sixt car rental agency offers private drivers. They are a fairly well known European rental agency with a decent reputation. You can find more about it here: https://www.sixt.co.uk/ride/private-hire/

We have used My Day Trip several times and were extremely pleased with the service and the knowledge of the drivers.
