E-Drivers Private Drivers

What E-Drivers Private Drivers does

E-Drivers B.V. is a Netherlands-based private chauffeur service, formally established in 2004 and operating nationwide with headquarters in Zwammerdam. Originating from the broader Drivers organization (which has been active for over 20 years), the company delivers professional driver services in the customer's own vehicle across a tiered product portfolio: Studentchauffeur (€32.50/hour), Privéchauffeur (€34.50/hour), Directiechauffeur D1 (€42.50/hour, CCV D1 certified), Directiechauffeur D2 (€52.50/hour, CCV D2 certified with security training), Car with Chauffeur in Mercedes S-/V-Class (€90/hour), and VIP minibus service for up to 16 passengers (€130/hour). Premium add-ons include valet parking, VIP/delegation transport, and event transportation project management for up to 500 vehicles.

The underlying technology is a chauffeur dispatch and matching platform with online reservation, 30-minute quote turnaround, chauffeur-assignment notifications (with driver photos and contact details), and integration with the affiliated DriveMe digital booking platform. Pricing is usage-based with minimum 3-hour (standard) or 4-hour (executive) bookings, plus €0.46/km travel allowance, €20 meal allowance over 8 hours, and included no-claim protection insurance of up to €1,500 over 3 years for private and executive tiers. Free additional insurance is bundled with private and executive chauffeur bookings, but not with the student tier.

E-Drivers operates a sales-led, hybrid-segment go-to-market: direct enterprise sales to C-level executives, personal assistants, event organizers, and healthcare institutions via phone (0850443744), email, dedicated corporate account management, and SEO-optimized city landing pages for Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Den Haag; individual/SMB customers use self-service online booking. The named enterprise customer base spans Heineken, Citibank, BAM Group, Heijmans, Dura Vermeer, DSW Zorgverzekeraar, North Sea Port, Radio 538, and Rail Innovators Group. Following the September 2025 acquisition of STUD Holding by Euro BOB Groep, E-Drivers now operates as a premium chauffeur brand within an 8-brand, 250+-driver transport group alongside Rent A Bob, DriveMe, Your Private Driver, Taxi & Touringcar Van Asselt, Minibuscentrale, and Platinum Mobility.
