Yesdriveme

What Yesdriveme does

Yesdriveme (legal entity YesDriveMe SASU) operates an online marketplace that connects vehicle owners in France with vetted independent professional drivers to chauffeur their own cars on demand. The company is headquartered in Paris, was founded in 2016 by Mpanjo Essembe Albert-Thomas (Thom), and is registered as a SASU with €100 capital under a single-shareholder founder structure. Services are priced per trip from €19.92, with first-time 25% promo discounts and up to 30% off round trips, and the platform takes a commission on each completed course rather than employing drivers directly.

The product portfolio is organized around a core consumer platform (YesDriveMe) and a dedicated B2B portal (YesDriveMe Business), complemented by a sub-brand for non-vehicle owners (ChauffeurSansVoiture.fr) and three specialized offerings: Zen (concierge logistics for car maintenance), Care (transport for elderly and mobility-reduced users), and Safe (designated-driver service for alcohol-related safety). The underlying technology is a web-based SaaS platform with geolocation-enabled driver matching, real-time booking, secure in-platform payment, integration with Google Maps for route selection, and a structured digital "Procès-Verbal" that records photographic vehicle condition at departure and arrival to support dispute resolution. There is no native mobile app, no public API, and no mobile SDK.

The go-to-market combines a self-serve consumer funnel (web simulation, instant pricing, promo codes, blog/content, monthly free-ride giveaways) with a field-sales motion for enterprise fleet clients. Named enterprise customers include JP Lecluse Volkswagen, Mondocar Véhicules Premium, GEDORE FRANCE, Aston (law firm), Financeauto, and Appro Concept/Quiko, spanning automotive dealership convoyage, legal transportation, industrial vehicle recovery, and commercial logistics. Revenue is generated exclusively through per-trip commissions; no funding rounds, investors, or financial disclosures are on record, and the company operates primarily in France with limited cross-border European references.

Partnerships

One partnership is on record.

• OuiHopminorGTM or Marketing PartnerOuiHop is a short-distance ride-sharing (auto-stop) mobile app and a marketing/GTM partner for Yesdriveme. During the registration flow, Yesdriveme promotes OuiHop to new members, offering free rides and Hopiz credits as incentives. This cross-promotion drives member acquisition for both platforms, though OuiHop targets different use cases (short-distance ride-sharing vs. professional chauffeur services for personal vehicles).

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Blacklane: Global chauffeur service operating across Europe with airport and intercity premium offerings. Comparable to Yesdriveme Business's executive chauffeur and airport-transfer use cases.
• SixT Ride: European mobility company offering premium chauffeur services alongside car rental and leasing. Comparable to Yesdriveme Business in the executive car service segment and provides a global reference point for adjacent offerings.
• Bolt: European ride-hailing competitor with a growing presence in France. Overlaps with Yesdriveme on consumer chauffeur-style services but does not yet target the customer's-own-vehicle niche.
• Uber: Global ride-hailing incumbent operating Uber VTC and UberChauffeur lines in France. Its sheer scale, app distribution, and capital represent the largest competitive threat to Yesdriveme's growth.

Regional players

• Carey International: U.S.-focused executive chauffeured transportation platform. Comparable in service model and target customer (corporate and premium travelers) but operates primarily in North America rather than competing directly in France.

Emerging players

• Welcome Pickups: Airport-focused chauffeur and transfer service with a growing European footprint. Comparable to Yesdriveme's airport-transfer and travel-related chauffeur use cases.

Direct peers

• Marcel (formerly Chauffeur Privé): Paris-based VTC platform originally focused on premium chauffeur service, now part of the Renault group. Directly competes with Yesdriveme for premium and corporate chauffeur demand in France.
• Heetch: French VTC/chauffeur platform offering on-demand driver services in France. Heetch is the closest direct competitor to Yesdriveme's consumer and youth-segment chauffeur offering, though it does not focus on driving the customer's own vehicle.
• Taxi G7: Largest Parisian taxi dispatch service with app-based booking and corporate accounts. Competes with Yesdriveme for taxi/substitution demand in France, particularly corporate ground transport.

Others

• ALD Automotive: Large European vehicle leasing and fleet management company. While not a chauffeur platform, ALD is a comparable buyer-side counterpart for enterprise fleet logistics, similar to Yesdriveme Business's dealership and corporate clients.
