Re: Info on hiring a chauffeur
Hmm... if you guys are serious, I could check with my contacts.
Typically, on an ad hoc basis, the going rate is about $40 per hour - but petrol/car servicing of course is on your own.
If you want a full time chauffeur, that's a different thing altogether - I could check for you if you are serious in finding out

Re: Info on hiring a chauffeur
Too many variables to consider.
Is this company payroll or own pocket?
a few things to consider...
- transport allowance if any to and from workplace (motorbike, bus), or petrol card for motorbike etc.
- handphone allowance if any to contact driver
- lunch hour, is driver allowed to use employer's car to go makan or must return to employer's house to park the car and then venture out to eat.
- type / scope of work eg... gotta arrive at employer's house during school days to fetch kids to school, what time? or say employer entertains a lot at night, OT pay is great but knock off time is like 3 - 4am? then start work at 7am cos employer's kids need to go school.... these types end up quitting very early cos working hours xiong.
- working on public holidays.... OT pay or regular hourly pay?
- working on saturdays?
Very hard to even give ball park figures since OT plays a major factor in the take home pay.
Calculation of OT also another consideration, do you factor in timing you knock off or knock off time plus say 1/2 hour travel time to go home?
Friend of mine told his driver's hours are 8am - 6pm, but must arrive at 7am to fetch kids to work, non schooling days, driver starts at 8am.
If strictly for company use, driver can / might be used as dispatch driver or messenger boy?
Straits times classified section typically have advertisements for such job openings, can go and look for guidance.

Re: Info on hiring a chauffeur
Its for my family, as ageing parents, kid + dogs will find a chauffeur really handy. Hours should be rather regular from 8-6, unless there are dinner outings, say twice a week?
Online job posting for chauffeurs varies from 1.3k to 2.5k, and I think this variance is a bit large. Probably its various allowances that created the difference.
Thanks for your advice. Cheers!

Re: Info on hiring a chauffeur
I used to rotate between a few 'chio' drivers in my golf bag....
Oh those beauties....
with their long statuesque carbon fiber bodies, producing a satisfying 'PING' sound that was 'ear-gasmic' to me.... whenever the golf ball and club face met upon impact.
She also gave me confidence since the golf ball typically sailed 250m before landing......
now I play Wii golf if I have the time....
