Over several generations, the Group has developed unrivalled expertise in the chauffeur-driven transport industry. An expert in bespoke transport, Chabé is Europe’s leading employer of chauffeurs, with more than 350 year-round employees.
Carefully selected and trained to offer a first-class service, our chauffeurs’ professionalism, discretion and in-depth knowledge of the routes guarantee smooth, stress-free journeys.
At Chabé, we are proud of our team of highly qualified chauffeurs. Their commitment to excellence and their constant desire to surpass themselves are the pillars of our reputation. When you choose Chabé, you’re opting for expertise that goes beyond simple driving skills, offering an unrivalled travel experience.
As experienced chauffeurs with an in-depth knowledge of luxury service standards, all speak English and French, and many are proficient in a third language. In addition, some have acquired specific expertise, particularly in accompanying customers to prestigious hotels, as guides or roadshow specialists.
The expertise of Chabé’s chauffeurs goes hand in hand with their people skills. These skills are equally important to the company. Chauffeurs by vocation, they are committed to providing the best possible experience on every journey.
To ensure that our chauffeurs are optimally prepared and to guarantee a quality of service that lives up to our clients’ expectations, all of them receive training as soon as they arrive. This training encompasses the history of the family business, its values, its know-how – all the factors that have made Chabé the Group it is today.
Chabé is always on the lookout for new chauffeurs to match its expertise for sports events.
Anthony Dampa, Head of Recruitment and Training for Chabé chauffeurs, explains: “Initially, we collect applications, organise interviews and test their knowledge of the city. Once the future chauffeurs have been recruited, we put in place an ongoing training programme based on Chabé’s quality standards. Chauffeurs receive detailed information on how to prepare for each journey, with an emphasis on the cleanliness of the vehicle, personal appearance, how to present themselves, etc. Their mission is to guarantee an exceptional passenger experience. This includes punctuality, communication of the expected journey time, and attention to passenger comfort.”
The training of our chauffeurs and their well-being are essential to ensuring a quality service. This last point is fundamental to Chabé. That’s the reason why the family business has a Responsible Employer policy.
At Chabé, we always give priority to permanent contracts for all full-time chauffeurs: 86% of our employees have permanent contracts. Chauffeurs are paid fairly and well above the legal minimum in every city where we operate.
Our Diversity and Inclusion policy demonstrates our commitment to welcoming and promoting all talents to enable them to flourish within the Group. In a predominantly male sector, Chabé is stepping up its efforts to recruit talented women who are passionate about their work.
This charter aims to enrich the company’s diversity and provide an inclusive working environment for all.
By offering everyone a rewarding professional environment, we are contributing to positive change in our industry.
Chabé’s professional chauffeurs play an essential role in the Group’s reputation. Their dedication to excellence and their ability to deliver unrivalled transport experiences are the foundation of Chabé’s prestigious reputation.
Since its creation by Maurice Chabé in 1921, the Group has demonstrated excellence and prestige in many areas of bespoke mobility, particularly in the events sector.
One of our values is rooted in the DNA of the family business and perfectly embodies the investment and dedication of our teams: At Chabé, we like a challenge. We love unusual projects and contexts. Over the years, we’ve learned to do things we’ve never done before. Chabé’s expertise is unquestionable. To meet our clients’ needs as effectively as possible, the family business has developed a real culture of sports events.
As the finals of the Rugby World Cup 2023 in Paris and the Olympic Games 2024 approach, Chabé is preparing to play a key role in the logistics of these global events. Find out how Chabé’s expertise continues to evolve to meet the needs of major sporting events, with a focus on sustainability and exceptional customer experience.
Ever since the Football World Cup in 1998, Chabé has been making its expertise in event transport available to the biggest sports federations. Football, rugby, golf, racquet sports… whatever the scale or logistical difficulty of the event, Chabé does its utmost to rise to the challenge.
Every year, our events teams redouble their efforts to ensure that clients are transported. The upstream work requires several months of preparation, which enables us to be highly efficient every year.
Mélanie Quillier, Events Director at Chabé explains: “Organising an event often requires several months of preparation.
It starts with studying the specifications and understanding the expectations and challenges of each event, so that we can advise the client and offer them a bespoke organisation and timetable.
We then organise and take part in a large number of meetings, such as site scouting, kick-off meetings with the client and the various parties involved, training and briefings for our teams, etc. Planning the project, defining human and material requirements, selecting suitable profiles, monitoring the budget(s), etc. Our know-how, acquired over many years, means that Chabé is now the expert in getting you around on the day(s) of the event.”
However, these events would not be possible without our ambassadors, the Chabé private chauffeurs.
Initiated into the codes of luxury, they all receive training as soon as they join the Group. Over a two-week period, Chabé chauffeurs take part in a training programme that includes English and history classes, as well as a module focusing on emotional development. In addition, they are made aware of the correct behaviour to adopt and have to pass two driving tests in the company of customers.
Then there’s the event training, adapted to each event. Before the event, the chauffeurs receive detailed information about the event, the dress code, where to park and drop off passengers, how to introduce themselves, etc. “Their mission is to guarantee an exceptional customer experience. This includes punctuality, communicating the expected journey time, and paying attention to passenger comfort…” explains Anthony Dampa, Head of Chauffeur Recruitment and Training.
Thanks to our rigorous training, we maintain a prestigious quality of service, which has earned us the trust of many well-known sports clients.
Chabé has established itself as a trusted partner for sporting events. Over the years, the family business has built up a wealth of references, including the 2018 League Cup Final in Bordeaux, the 2019 Women’s World Cup, the Women’s Alpine Skiing World Cup in the Alps, the Ryder Cup and many others.
What’s more, the family business is proud to be able to meet the ecological needs of certain sporting events. The last tournaments in 2023 confirmed the Group’s environmental commitment. We observed a 15% increase in the number of low-carbon vehicles for the same event compared with the previous year, 2022.
At these sporting events, our expertise encompasses a multitude of services. To meet the needs of all our clients, Chabé offers, in addition to the event transport service, a transfer service to and from stations and airports for the arrival and departure of sports players, VIPs, the organising team, etc.
In addition to this expertise in managing the travel of players, staff and others, the family business also offers a punctual transport service for individuals wishing to travel to the event venue, as well as for all travel before and after the event.
Chabé’s expertise in the field of sports events has therefore developed well both in France and internationally, and we continue to establish ourselves as a leading international player in event transport.
The strategic location of our various agencies and our network of international partners means we can support you throughout your event, wherever it takes place.
For each sporting event, a project team made up of a project manager, experienced planners, dispatchers and coordinators deploys its expertise to manage the transport of events that are often out of the ordinary, involving up to 300 chauffeurs.
A team of experts is dedicated to managing the transport of events upstream of the event for each client in France and abroad.
After analysing requirements, a site survey is organised to propose the best route between passenger departures and arrivals.
On site, the teams recruit, select, train, supervise and coordinate, with the utmost discretion, to ensure that the transport experience matches the events imagined by its customers.
In addition, a team is dedicated to IT and admin support for the event, available 24/7.
Whether it’s an event with just a few cars or a large-scale event, everything is thought out and put in place to ensure that transport fits in as naturally as possible with what has preceded it or what will follow.
Last week, Chabé’s teams in Paris and Bordeaux played a key role in organising the transport of the British royal couple and their delegation. This large-scale mission required the mobilisation of almost twenty vehicles, demonstrating our ability to provide a high-quality bespoke transport service.
Transporting the British royal couple was an exceptional mission that highlighted our expertise in managing the travel of internationally renowned personalities. The sheer scale of the assignment presented a logistical challenge that we successfully met, ensuring that every detail of the journey was efficiently coordinated.
In addition, discretion and professionalism are at the heart of our services. We understand the importance of preserving the privacy of our clients, particularly when they are royalty. Our team of chauffeurs and coordinators have been specially trained to ensure a safe and stress-free journey.
This royal transport mission is testimony to our commitment to excellence. Each mission is an opportunity to demonstrate our dedication to providing a superior service. We would like to thank our teams in Paris and Bordeaux for their professionalism and dedication, which contributed to the success of this memorable mission.
We are proud of our ability to meet the unique needs of our clients throughout France and around the world, whether they are royalty, business leaders or discerning travellers. We look forward to continuing to offer French-style bespoke transport services, combining elegance, discretion and efficiency, to a diverse and discerning clientele.
On 22 and 23 September, our team in Marseille had the honour of managing the bespoke transport of Pope Francis and his delegation during his visit to the region. This exceptional mission underlines our commitment to quality of service and discretion, two of Chabé’s core values.
Pope Francis’ visit to Marseille was a moment of great importance for the city. For Chabé, it represented a major logistical challenge. We took responsibility for ensuring that every aspect of the trip ran smoothly, drawing on our expertise in managing the transport of high-ranking personalities.
At the heart of this mission was our commitment to excellence. Our chauffeurs and coordination team were meticulously prepared to ensure the comfort and safety of Pope Francis and his delegation during their journey.
Discretion has always been an essential feature of our services. We understand the crucial importance of preserving our clients’ privacy, especially when dealing with high-profile personalities. In the case of the Pope’s visit, this discretion was paramount, and we scrupulously respected it.
Chabé firmly believes in the ability of its employees and values the ambition, determination and talent of each individual. The Group cultivates a culture of opportunity, the chance to grow and develop professional skills.
Today, the family business is proud to share the story of Anthony Dampa, a committed and passionate employee.
After obtaining his HR degree, Anthony Dampa decided to continue his studies in organisational management. At the same time, he joined Chabé in 2017 as a professional chauffeur, working on a series of fixed-term contracts. “I’ve never seen this job as a constraint. I started at the Paris International Air Show, and I immediately developed a real passion for my profession” shares Anthony. This vision and his commitment will enable him to sign his first permanent contract with the family business in 2019.
In 2020, thanks to his studies and his professionalism, Anthony is helping to organise a sporting event that is highly prized both in France and internationally. Asked to help again in 2021, Anthony says: “Thanks to my years as a professional chauffeur, I know what it’s like on the ground. That’s a real plus during interviews, as I can easily get a feel for the candidate based on their profile, presentation and way of expressing themselves, and above all test their knowledge of the city“. This opportunity gives her a new perspective on his future career…
From October 2021, Anthony Dampa will be moving on and enthusiastically embarking on his new role as Chauffeur Recruiter and Training. Thanks to his dedication and rigour, in 2023 he was appointed Manager of the same department, responsible for driver monitoring and quality control. To prepare this year’s events as effectively as possible, Anthony has trained and manages a team of 4 people.
“Chauffeur follow-up is essential” explains Anthony. “Initially, we collect applications, organise interviews and test their knowledge of the city. Once the future chauffeurs have been recruited, we put in place an ongoing training programme based on Chabé’s quality standards. Chauffeurs receive detailed information on how to prepare for each journey, with an emphasis on the cleanliness of the vehicle, personal appearance, how to present themselves, etc. Their mission is to guarantee an exceptional customer experience. This includes punctuality, communication of the expected journey time, and attention to passenger comfort… In addition to quality standards, chauffeurs must acquire a deep knowledge of the city’s topography and tourist information. During this training, they also have the opportunity to discover Chabé’s characteristic values and expertise.
As experienced professional chauffeurs, they know how to adapt to every type of clientele. All speak French and English, and many have a command of a third language.
During specific events, I visit the site to ensure that assignments are running smoothly and to exchange advice, always with a view to continuous improvement. I’m proud to work for Chabé, because my professional development goes hand in hand with my desire to help the Group grow.”
Chabé is a fast-growing company on a human scale, encouraging versatility and giving everyone the opportunity to express their talents. Team spirit, essential to the smooth running of operations, is omnipresent, as is customer culture.
If you’re looking for fascinating opportunities and want to work for a family business with expert in the field of mobility, join Chabé!

Chabé, a major provider of chauffeur services to luxury hotels, proudly announced its sponsorship of the prestigious AA Lifetime Achievement Award at the AA Hospitality Awards ceremony. The event, held in vibrant London on 25 September 2023, delivered on its promise with an evening of celebration of unrivalled commitment and recognises the very best in the hospitality industry.
“We have been partners with AA Hotel and Hospitality Services for a third successive year. Our partnership reflects our heritage and commitment to serving luxury hotels. Chabé was the pioneer and first provider of chauffeur services for Parisian hotels and palaces in 1921,” explains David Bruce, Director of Chabé’s London office. “More luxury hotels are choosing to partner with Chabé throughout Europe, including Monaco, Switzerland, London and our new office in Dubai.
World-renowned hotels select Chabé to offer their guests a transport experience to equal their stay. Our Group understands the importance of every detail in a guest’s experience, and this is reflected in the premium chauffeur services we offer. From airport pick-up to transport to local tourist sites, Chabé has always been able to meet the most discerning needs of luxury hotels and their guests.”
This enduring association between Chabé and the hotel industry is based on a shared vision and commitment over many decades of service.
The AA Lifetime Achievement Award precisely reflects these values. Recipients of this award have dedicated their working lives to improving and consistently delivering service excellence. Chabé, as a sponsor, shares this same tradition of excellence.
Our CEO Guillaume Connan was delighted to present the award to Jonathan Raggett, Director of Red Carnation Hotels.
The AA Hospitality Awards offered a prestigious evening of recognition, where the hospitality industry comes together to celebrate the very best in the industry.

In the last few years, Chabé has gradually developed its environmental commitment through a number of concrete actions. With a more eco-responsible fleet, plant-based bottles, a partnership with the GoodPlanet Foundation and its contribution to carbon neutrality, the Group is evolving to become a major player in the fight against climate change in its field.
In 2022, Chabé joins the Great Challenge to rethink its role and responsibility in the face of this ecological challenge.
The ecological Great Challenge stems from an environmental observation: global warming. The question surrounding this issue is how to stem the tide.
These days, businesses play an important role in the ecological transition. As key players in the fight against climate change and the decline in biodiversity, it is vital for companies to join forces. This is the purpose of the Great Challenge:
Mobilising businesses and their ecosystems to create a new
model of economic prosperity, humanist and regenerative
Networks of companies, trade unions, associations and institutions, scientists, managers, students and citizens: the Great Challenge brings together a wide range of partners to strengthen its legitimacy and promote its deployment. Thanks to the financial support received from the sponsors, the ecological Great Challenge has gone from being a project to Great Consultation.
Through an inclusive and participatory process, Virginie Raisson-Victor and Jérôme Cohen, founders of the Great Challenge, want to bring companies together in the form of a “citizens’ convention”. The ultimate aim of the Great Challenge is to generate 100 proposals in favour of the environment.
Therefore, before any initiative, it is essential to carry out a survey of stakeholders in order to identify environmental obstacles and opportunities. This survey is officially known as the “Great Consultation”.
After several weeks of data processing by Bluenove, the Great Consultation will gather over 65,000 responses. Thanks to all this feedback, the project will move on to a new stage: the Great Deliberation.
After analysing the results, a draw was held to select several companies. At the end of the Great Challenge, these companies will be asked to put forward 100 proposals for overcoming environmental obstacles.
Thanks to this selection process, the companies chosen represent the diversity of the French economic fabric in the best possible way, based on four key criteria: number of employees, business sector, geographical location and company status.
From a base of 120,000 INSEE companies, 18,000 were selected to take part in this ecological challenge. In the end, only 100 companies were selected, and then had to nominate a manager, shareholder or employee to become a Delegate.
In May 2022, Chabé received the news of its participation and chose Flora Chaise, CSR Manager within the Group, to represent the family business as Delegate.
Following the draw, 6 sessions of 2 days each follow. Each plenary meeting is accompanied by experts of climate, biodiversity and the economy, to give the Delegates the best possible training and advice.
Each meeting, held in a different city, deals with a predefined theme:
A total of 50 conferences and 150 workshops were held over a period of 7 months to generate effective ideas. Following the Great Deliberation, 100 of these ideas were selected to move on to the next stage: the Great Diffusion, during which they will be communicated and shared.
The 100 proposals are divided into 11 topics: Governance, Commitment, Financing, Production Tools, Production, Logistics, Packaging, Distribution, Communication, Accounting and Remuneration.
In the form of an action manual, this booklet of 100 proposals is being distributed to business networks, Great Challenge partners, political players (President, government, elected representatives) and academic institutions.
Communicated to all, the objective remains the same since the Great Consultation: to accelerate our ecological transition and become a committed player in environmental issues.
Chabé actively supports the Great Challenge initiatives. The Group has already taken concrete action on some of the proposals, such as establishing a purpose associated with environmental objectives. In addition, the family business has implemented a packaging recycling system, the latest ecological innovation being the use of plant-based bottles.
The other proposals, which are feasible in our sector of activity, represent a real challenge for Chabé. Developing employee training and setting ambitious environmental targets – these new challenges will enable the family business to make a significant contribution to preserving the environment in the years to come.

Lyon, the jewel on the banks of the Rhône, is full of treasures to discover. The Presqu’île, the famous district between the Rhône and Saône rivers, offers a wealth of elegant boutiques and friendly restaurants, with a lively atmosphere all year round. The Basilique Notre-Dame de Fourvière, the city’s iconic landmark, is a must-see for lovers of architecture and spirituality. Old Lyon is also a UNESCO World Heritage site, with its mysterious traboules and Renaissance buildings. Finally, the banks of the Rhône and Saône rivers, ideal for strolling and picnicking, offer moments of tranquillity right in the heart of the city. Lyon is a destination that combines charm, culture and authenticity.
The medieval city of Pérouges is listed as one of the Most Beautiful Villages in France, making it one of the most popular tourist destinations in the département. The architecture is typical of the Middle Ages, with a double walled enclosure and residences dating from the 15th and 16th centuries.

Marseille has a rich 2,600-year history.

Phocéenne town is a poetic city, full of art and history. Its lively Old Port is the beating heart of the city. The city’s architecture also contributes to its renown, with the Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde basilica, the picturesque Panier district and the Mucem, a museum emblematic of Mediterranean culture.

After France, Switzerland, Monaco and the UK, Chabé is continuing to expand internationally with the opening of an office in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates.
As the hub of the Middle East, Dubai has rapidly established itself as a key destination for the Group: the highly fragmented local market offers mainly standardised transport services, while the region’s luxury hotel offer continues to expand, attracting a growing number of travellers, business people and prestigious events in sectors as varied as air defence, luxury, sport, tourism and the diplomatic sector.
At the end of 2022, Chabé took the strategic decision to set up in Dubai to offer a bespoke , differentiated and responsible chauffeured services across the country and the Gulf.
The project came to fruition with the acquisition of TLT Limo, a local car transport service provided by a chauffeur company renowned for the quality of its services and sharing the same values of excellence as Chabé. TLT Limo’s clients include several luxury hotels in Dubai, such as the Four Seasons Jumeirah, the Four Seasons DIFC, the Mandarin Oriental and the iconic Burj Al Arab.
Chabé Dubai is headed up by Laurent Euzet, who was previously head of Chabé Cannes and helped launch several of the Group’s other agencies, particularly in Monaco and the Alps.
The team on site has almost 40 people and a fleet of 35 vehicles: Mercedes V-Class, S-Class, Lexus, Cadillac Escalade, etc. Between now and the end of the year, we will be integrating new, latest-generation, low-carbon vehicles, in particular the new BMW I7, in order to offer a responsible transport service in line with the country’s objectives and the Group’s strategy.
“Opening our new office in Dubai is a key step in our development. We are convinced that our expertise, our highly personalised approach and our strong commitment to sustainable mobility will enable us to offer a new transport experience with a level of service unrivalled in the region,” shares Guillaume Connan, CEO of the Group.
Chabé is now present in 5 countries – France, Switzerland, Monaco, the United Kingdom and the United Arab Emirates – with its own teams and fleet of vehicles. In addition to its own resources, the Group has forged strong partnerships with the best operators around the world, enabling it to accompany its customers wherever they go with the same level of quality.
As part of its CSR approach and as an extension of its personalised customer experience, Chabé is replacing the water bottles provided to its passengers with new bottles of plant-based origin.
In 2020, the Group changed its bottles for new Evian bottles without labels. These 40cl bottles were made entirely from recycled materials and were 100% recyclable.
Distributed for the out-of-home consumption channel only, Evian paved the way for new, more sustainable containers.
Today, Chabé is renewing its ecological approach by adopting new plant-based bottles to reduce its carbon footprint.
These new bottles, manufactured by Drop by Drop, are made from FSC®-certified cardboard sourced from responsibly managed forests, guaranteeing an environmentally-friendly approach. The aluminium used in these bottles is also ASI (Aluminium Stewardship Initiative) certified, and its thin layer, eight times thinner than a human hair, preserves the quality of the water without the risk of contamination by microplastics or cardboard taste.
At Chabé, we understand the importance of a customisable customer experience and the impact of visual personalisation. In harmony with our ecological approach, we offer the possibility of personalising these water bottles with the colours of your establishment, your brand or your event. Whether you’re a luxury hotel, an event organiser or a concierge service, you can now associate your visual identity with an environmentally-friendly water bottle solution.
By choosing our plant-based water bottles, you’re demonstrating your commitment to sustainability while offering your clients a personalised experience. Every aspect of this bottle, from the Bonsucro-certified sugarcane caps to the packaging that respects key production indicators, demonstrates our commitment to supporting eco-responsible practices.
Chabé’s move to adopt these plant-based bottles and offer customisation tailored to your needs illustrates our commitment to sustainable innovation and our desire to reduce our carbon footprint.
Together, let’s make every sip of water an opportunity to promote your brand and contribute to a more environmentally friendly future.
Reducing our carbon footprint is a necessity. Chabé is committed to an accelerated transition of its vehicle fleet, adopting less polluting models as they become available. Three new low-carbon models have recently joined the Chabé fleet.
“We’re finding that more and more clients want to travel by environmentally-friendly means,” explained Guillaume Connan, the Group’s Chairman, in an interview in 2022. The numerous journeys made by Chabé customers are a powerful lever for reducing CO2 emissions.
As part of its commitment to CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), Chabé is continuing to expand its fleet of low-carbon vehicles. Initiating the transition to a greener fleet by rolling out the electrification of its vehicle fleet has therefore become a priority. That’s why, for several months now, Chabé has been upgrading its vehicles, welcoming the new low-carbon BMW i7, Mercedes EQE and Range Rover P440e.
At the end of 2022, the BMW i7 will join Chabé’s prestige fleet. This all-electric vehicle is powered by an xDrive60 engine. Digital innovation, engineering, aesthetics, comfort and agility are the strengths of this new luxury model. The multi-option version received by Chabé also incorporates a rear screen that offers passengers unrivalled comfort and pleasure on long journeys, thanks to heated and massaging seats.
As part of this drive for a greener fleet, the EQE is the latest 100% electric vehicle to join Chabé. It stands out for its environmental performance and its rethought design. The exterior features high-performance LED headlights and 5-double-spoke alloy wheels, while the interior is equipped with a wireless charging system that makes it easy to charge passengers’ phones. At the rear, the black leather seats are equipped with a heating function and the space benefits from a panoramic sunroof, essential for creating a bright atmosphere.
Finally, in May 2023, Chabé is proud to welcome a new low-carbon vehicle: the Range Rover P440e. Equipped with an A-rated hybrid engine, this luxury car embodies the very essence of a resolute commitment to an eco-responsible fleet. Its sleek, minimalist design gives it a modern, uncluttered look. The interior of the Range Rover is just as carefully thought out and crafted. The space at the rear offers freedom of movement, a plus for working comfortably on your computer, particularly during roadshows or business trips with a private chauffeur. Passengers will also have full control over the entertainment functions of the rear multimedia system. Last but not least, don’t underestimate the importance of light. The panoramic roof helps to create a light, airy and pleasant atmosphere inside the vehicle.
The addition of these three low-carbon vehicles reinforces Chabé’s commitment to CSR. Today, in addition to a young fleet, with an average age of 18 months, low-carbon vehicles (electric, hybrid and hydrogen) represent 52% of the Group’s total fleet.
Chabé understands the stakes behind every journey and is committed to developing a more eco-responsible fleet.
2023 got off to a flying start for Chabé with a series of national and international events. Whether in Paris or Seoul, for 10 or 450 vehicles, the Chabé teams do their utmost each time to offer their customers the best transport experience.
Our team of professionals has already managed around fifty of the hundred or so events scheduled for this year. Of these, 60% were held in Paris. The other events took place in the cities where Chabé is established in France (Cannes, Courchevel, Geneva, Monaco and London), confirming our solid presence in these cities, as well as internationally.
Indeed, we have extended our reach beyond France by participating in prestigious events around the world. We have been privileged to be present in such remarkable destinations as Austria, Seoul, India, Italy, the United States and Mexico.
The success of each event is based on the methodical work of a team of experts: scouting, selecting local partners, training drivers, managing schedules, dispatching in real time, customising services… all essential stages in the success of transport operations. Not to mention the team spirit and commitment required of each individual to deal with unforeseen events.
More and more clients are trusting us to manage their transport needs for their events, wherever they need it, a testament to our expertise in this area.
We’ve already transported thousands of passengers, and we’ll be continuing with prestigious events in sectors as varied as sport, luxury and air defence.
Our next destinations? Italy, Greece, Scotland, …
The Chabé teams, which are constantly expanding, are ready to take on new challenges!

France 3 Ile de France talks about our French expertise in a short report:
Fashion Week, a veritable institution in the world of fashion, is a major event which brings together the greatest designers, models, celebrities and fashion enthusiasts from all over the world. This effervescent period, when cities are transformed into veritable runways, is a must for lovers of trends and glamour!
With just one week to go before the launch of Men’s Fashion Week in Paris, Chabé takes a look back at the history of Fashion Week, its beginnings, organization and development around the world.
Fashion Week offers fashion designers a unique platform to showcase their latest creations and inspirations. Designers often work for months to prepare their collections, drawing inspiration from current trends and the cultural elements of their environment. The fashion shows that take place during Fashion Week are grandiose spectacles of creativity and innovation. The runways are filled with models sporting the latest trends, from the most elegant evening gowns to the trendiest casual outfits.
Fashion Week is in a state of flux, with the arrival of new technologies and new designers, including the eagerly awaited Louis Vuitton Première Collection by Pharrell Williams…
But first, let’s take a look back at the beginnings of fashion week…
Paris is the capital of fashion and creation, but it wasn’t in this city that Fashion Week was conceived and invented, but in New York!
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Charles Worth and Paul Poiret organized a series of sumptuous balls where guests were invited to come dressed in their finest, allowing them to discover their latest creations worn by men and women, an early version of the fashion show.
In 1943, Eleanor Lambert, an influential figure in the fashion industry, launched “Press Week” in New York. This visionary event, held at the Plaza Hotel, brought together only local and national press to promote American fashion and rival the influence of Paris. Press Week laid the foundations for what would become Fashion Week, a concept adopted by cities around the world.

The first official Paris Fashion Week took place in 1973, with the creation of the Fédération Française de la Couture, and the inauguration of a show that would truly revolutionize fashion history!
Dubbed the “Battle of Versailles“, the show, which took place during an event entitled France Amérique, highlighted the tensions between the Paris and New York fashion scenes. To raise funds for the restoration of the Château de Versailles, five French and five American designers presented their collections. On the French side, Yves Saint Laurent, Emanuel Ungaro, Christian Dior (then headed by Marc Bohan), Pierre Cardin and Hubert de Givenchy. On the American side, Anne Klein, Halston, Oscar de la Renta, Bill Blass and Stephen Burrows took to the runway. This historic confrontation not only captivated the public, it also marked a decisive turning point in the recognition of American fashion and helped redefine the boundaries of the international fashion industry.
Each Fashion Week has its own character and signature, reflecting the essence of the city that hosts it. Paris, the fashion capital, is renowned for its timeless elegance and legendary fashion houses. New York, thanks to the vision of Eleanor Lambert, shines with bold, urban style, showcasing promising young talent.
Milan is famous for its sophisticated allure and incomparable craftsmanship. London, cradle of the avant-garde, stands out for its eccentricity and innovative spirit. Other emerging and surprising cities have also joined the movement, bringing a breath of fresh air to the fashion scene. From the runwayss of Berlin, famous for their audacity and diversity, to the runways of São Paulo, which highlight Latin American culture, each Fashion Week offers a unique experience for participants.
Fashion Week is a long, multi-season cycle that recurs several times a year.
First, Haute Couture Week, which takes place exclusively in Paris in January and July. This is an opportunity for the most prestigious fashion houses to showcase their exquisite, bespoke creations.
Then there’s Men’s Fashion Week. Initially centered on Milan, it has expanded to the four major fashion axes and is held just before Haute Couture Week, in January and July. This week highlights the latest trends and creations in men’s fashion.
Finally, we have Ready-to-wear week. This intense month of fashion shows generally takes place in February/March and September/October. It is dedicated to the presentation of ready-to-wear collections, aimed at a wider public.
The choice of show periods can seem out of phase with the seasons. For example, unveiling winter collections in March and summer collections in September may seem odd. However, this is done to enable the factories to produce the necessary pieces and distribute them to the boutiques in good time.
What’s more, by holding several fashion weeks throughout the year, the industry remains dynamic and can respond to the ever-changing expectations of consumers. These events showcase the latest innovations and support emerging talent, while providing a global showcase for the fashion industry. Fashion Weeks also play an essential role in showcasing new creators, designers and trends.
In addition to showcasing the latest fashion trends, Fashion Week is also an important meeting place for those involved in the fashion industry. Fashion designers, buyers, journalists and influencers gather to share ideas and experiences, discuss current trends and exchange ideas on the future of the fashion industry. Exclusive evenings organized during Fashion Week also offer the opportunity to meet personalities from the world of fashion and celebrity.
Finally, Fashion Week is also an opportunity for the fashion industry to focus on important issues related to sustainability and social responsibility. Fashion designers are increasingly aware of their impact on the environment and society, and are looking to adopt sustainable practices to reduce their ecological and social footprint. Fashion Week therefore offers a unique opportunity for fashion designers to present sustainable and responsible collections, and to raise public awareness of sustainability issues in the fashion industry.
Fashion Week is an essential event for the fashion industry. It gives fashion designers the opportunity to showcase their latest creations, industry players the chance to meet and share ideas, and raise public awareness of sustainability issues in the fashion industry.
It’s a global showcase where trends are created and reinvented. In this effervescent whirlwind, Chabé positions itself as the trusted partner for luxury transportation services at Fashion Weeks.

World Environment Day* is the opportunity for the Group to reaffirm its commitment and look back at its latest environmental advances. Electrifying its fleet, raising employee awareness, discover how Chabé has reinforced its commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) since 2019.
“We are observing that more and more clients want to travel by environmentally friendly transport“, explained Guillaume Connan, current CEO during an interview in 2022. The many transportation made by Chabé clients make them a powerful lever for reducing CO2 emissions. Starting the transition towards a greener fleet with the deployment of electric vehicles became a priority.
In 2022, Chabé becomes the first French company to take delivery of the EQV, as well as the BMW i7 and Mercedes EQE vehicles, all fully electric.
Today, in addition to a young fleet, with an average age of 18 months, low carbon vehicles (electric, hybrid and hydrogen) represent 52% of the Group’s total fleet, compared with 27% in 2020. This evolution of the Chabé fleet has led to adjustments in terms of infrastructure, with the installation of 13 charging stations, including 4 dual charging stations, as well as an ultra-fast charging stations.
The ambition of a 100% electric fleet may take several years. This is why, in the meantime, the family business wanted to contribute to offsetting its CO2 emissions by financing projects to reduce other emissions and to carry out carbon sequestration. It is in this context that the partnership with the GoodPlanet Foundation and Chabé was born.
In this challenge to achieve carbon neutrality, in 2021 the Group joined forces with the GoodPlanet Foundation. The foundation’s main missions are to develop solidarity field projects, raise awareness and helping companies and institutions, always in this environmental dimension.
Through its contribution, Chabé has played a part in the household waste recovery in Cameroon, Togo and Madagascar, the diffusion of solar cookers in Bolivia and the development of new projects Developing Countries (DC) and Least Developed Countries (LDC). These concrete projects have generated positive results, which is a real source of pride for Chabé.
Following this event, the family business makes its commitment concrete by recruiting a new employee dedicated exclusively to its environmental ambitions.
Chabé is continuing its momentum and in 2021 recruits Flora Chaise, the Group’s CSR Manager.
« Creating a full-time CSR manager position in a medium-sized company is already a strong signal. My role is to bring more structure and follow-up to Chabé’s CSR approach. » explains Flora Chaise. The arrival of a new employee specialising in CSR is synonymous with change for the family business. « First of all, we are going to carry out a carbon assessment to better understand Chabé’s major challenges, and establish an action plan based on the results obtained. » adds Flora.
In 2021, Chabé realises its first carbon assessment to evaluate the impact of its activity over the years 2020 and 2021. The aim is to define an action plan to reduce the most significant impacts as a priority.
The Group wants to demonstrate its commitment, not only by monitoring indicators, but also by revisiting its identity, with the creation of a raison d’être.
Confirming its commitment to CSR was essential, this is why, in 2022, Chabé reworked its raison d’être:
This raison d’être has been developed with Chabé’s employees and shareholders in order to share the Group’s vision and role in our society. This redefinition of its identity also defines a line of conduct for the most important decisions.
Finally, it is essential to underline that Chabé’s environmental commitment is not limited to its fleet of vehicles.
All our chauffeurs are trained in eco-driving encouraging smoother driving that helps reduce CO2 emissions. All of our teams implement the recycling of consumables wherever possible, including ink cartridges, washing water, water bottles, etc. In addition, Chabé has innovated by replacing the water bottles made available to its passengers with new, unlabeled Evian bottles, a first in France. These 40cl bottles are made entirely from recycled material and 100% recyclable.
In 2022, Chabé took part in the European Sustainable Development Week, a global event aimed at raising awareness among its employees through various objectives. The family business focused on employees’s awarness by offering them challenges linked to the environmental protection. This initiative confirms Chabé’s position as a responsible employer.
This year, 2023, marks a turning point in the Group’s CSR certification by Ecovadis, a worldwide provider of business sustainability ratings which assesses the sustainability performance.
Chabé has been awarded the silver medal with an overall score of 61 points out of 100, compared with the bronze medal in 2021, placing it in the top 25% of best-performing companies in all business sectors. This achievement underlines Chabé’s progress in CSR performance.
This retrospective marks the constant evolution of Chabé’s CSR commitment. The CSR policy is a real opportunity to create value and give a profound meaning to all the Group’s stakeholders.
The Group’s CSR strategy goes beyond environmental considerations. Chabé is committed to adopt a responsible employer policy, offering long term employment, with 84% of employees on permanent contracts, and investing in their development and career progression through training. The vision is to welcome, recognise and promote all talents in a spirit of inclusion and diversity.
Chabé has a global vision of CSR strategy, driven by an unwavering determination to make a lasting impact.
* Led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and held annually on 5 June since 1973, World Environment Day is the largest global platform for environmental public outreach and is celebrated by millions of people across the world.
Expert in bespoke journeys, Chabé has recently acquired a new generation prestige vehicle. Born from the merger between Mercedes-Benz and the former Louis Vuitton’s Artistic Director, Virgil Abloh, the Mercedes-Maybach S Class S680 completes our luxury fleet.
Redefining luxury was the objective of this cooperation. A unique and futuristic work, the Virgil Abloh combines technological prowess and avant-garde design.
Created by Mercedes-Benz’s customization and craftsmanship team at the Sindelfingen factory, the S-Class is distinguished first by its aesthetics. A two-tone desert harmony of black and sand, a special “Mercedes-Maybach Virgil Abloh” logo, cushions and headrests in Nappa leather, comfort worthy of first-class.
Strictly limited to 150 units, the Mercedes-Maybach pushes the limits of experience. The comfort and space in the back of the vehicle are sufficient for working on your computer, especially during roadshows or business trips with a private chauffeur. There is a fridge to keep your drink cold and for any extras, a bottle of champagne can be provided on request. The highest levels of craftsmanship condensed into one vehicle.
The cooperation with Abloh is just one way in which Mercedes-Maybach stays grounded in innovation and evolution. A unique logo inscribed on the middle of the centre console, black floor mats with sand-coloured leather trim, at this level of prestige, even the smallest details of the S-Class strengthens its luxurious appearance.
At Chabé, we see technology as a means of providing an “enhanced service” to our clients. Two years ago, Guillaume Connan, President of the Group, said in an interview that “the future of mobility will be digital, on the condition that the technology allows us to improve the passenger experience”. This prediction is now coming true. The limited-edition S-Class is equipped with a customised user interface, which presents to the driver an even more luxurious variant of Maybach’s MBUX system. Handpicked visual elements are used to enrich the digital content: from the home button with coloured border to profile pictures decorated with luxurious fashion accessories.
Sometimes a video is worth a thousand words, discover the luxurious Mercedes-Maybach by Virgil Abloh in one minute:
The Mercedes-Maybach by Virgil Abloh can answer your most demanding expectations. Whether it’s a travel service to and from the region’s airports or a tour to discover the city of Paris, the art of French service at Chabé is reflected in its prestigious fleet.
Chabé, expert in bespoke journeys since 1921, is delighted to welcome Joël Chan Thaw as Group Operations Director. With significant experience in the hospitality and premium concierge industries, Joël brings a wealth of expertise in terms of quality management, organization and customer experience. We had the opportunity to speak with him to learn more about his career path, his motivations and his vision for Chabé.
Can you tell us about your previous experiences in the hotel and concierge industry and how that prepared you for your current role at Chabé?
I worked in various French, American and Dutch luxury hotel groups as a revenue management trainee, then in sales roles, before moving into quality as a Quality Manager and reaching the position of General Manager. I also had the opportunity to open two hotels in Paris. After the Covid period, I joined the premium concierge company John Paul, a subsidiary of the Accor group, as Director of Operations. My previous experiences allowed me to develop skills in organization, talent management, customer experience and emotions, skills that are useful in my current role at Chabé.
Why did you join Chabé?
I joined Chabé because it is a century-old family business, expert in its field, in full development and which continues to expand its services offered, its structure, its presence in the world, the customer experience and the management of its talents. I was convinced by the vision of Guillaume Connan, President of the Group, and these exchanges confirmed my desire to join the Chabé family, it was obvious!
What are the main challenges you have encountered since your arrival at Chabé in February 2023 as Group Operations Director?
One of the main challenges I have encountered since my arrival at Chabé is to learn about a new sector, that of transportation. It was therefore important for me to take the time to talk to the various employees, such as chauffeurs, dispatchers, sales representatives, consultants, human resources, project managers, as well as customers. In short, I took the time to immerse myself in the company, by being on the ground and close to the teams and clients, in order to better understand it and thus propose relevant solutions to move the group forward.
How does Chabé work to ensure customer satisfaction and provide an exceptional experience?
Customer satisfaction is a priority at Chabé, and all our employees are committed to this approach. To achieve this, we have redefined the roles and responsibilities of each of our operational departments to be more responsive and have set up a data quality and field quality department. We also offer training to our chauffeurs, focusing on customer experience and emotions, and support our consultants in personalizing their proposals. We believe that the success of a company depends on a clear and precise structure, performance indicators, the development of its employees’ skills and the recruitment of new talent.
How do you see the future of Chabé and what are the upcoming projects for the company?
I am convinced that the future of Chabé is very promising. As Group Operations Director, I am proud to join a company that is a centenary expert in its field, in full development and in constant evolution. Our ambition is to continue to evolve in order to maintain a high level of quality, to satisfy our existing clients and to expand our international presence by opening new branches in the years to come.
In addition, we are investing in innovative technological solutions to improve our service, while maintaining our personalized approach. In addition, we are concerned about environmental issues and offer a fleet of electric vehicles to meet our clients’ expectations.
I am confident that our ambition and commitment to quality and innovation will enable us to maintain our position as an expert in the custom transportation market, thanks in particular to our teams of passionate and experienced professionals who are the cornerstone of our company. We will continue to invest in their training and professional development to maintain our level of excellence and guarantee our clients’ long-term satisfaction.

During the evening of the Gala, a lottery was organized, of which Chabé offered a ride in a rare and exceptional vehicle: the Maybach S680 by Virgil Abloh, the first of the 150 created of this unique model. This exceptional vehicle was designed by Virgil Abloh, fashion designer and artistic director of Louis Vuitton, in collaboration with Mercedes-Benz.
The Maybach S680 by Virgil Abloh is a car that combines luxury and cutting-edge technology, with a white leather interior and black chrome finishes, as well as a powerful engine. It offers an incomparable driving experience and represents the ultimate in automotive luxury.
By providing this opportunity, Chabé was able to offer the lucky winners a unique and memorable experience aboard this exceptional car.
We are proud to participate in prestigious events such as the Golden Keys Gala, which are an opportunity to showcase our know-how and expertise in luxury transportation and to meet our partners.
Three month ago, Chabé expanded its low carbon fleet with brand-new, luxury all-electric BMW i7. The Group was the first chauffeur operator to receive the car in the UK. The Group has now ordered 30 vehicles across the Group, and over the past three months the car has been presented to customers in Paris, London and Monaco.
We asked two of our UK chauffeur team for the first round of feedback. Discover their testimonial below.
Paul Bhamra and Alphonse Kablan
Alphonse : It looks amazing, people have stopped me on the street to check over the vehicle. The ride is exceptionally smooth. Luggage space is great.
It is so easy but still engaging to drive in the different modes.
Paul : Fantastic ride quality, comfort for passengers and chauffeurs… it has real road presence with the front lights in the BMW famous grill shape.
With the overall range, charging is not causing any issues when our day is planned well.
Alphonse : Passenger comfort is amazing and they are all surprised that it’s a fully electric car. The passenger focused technology allows personal involvement with the car even on short journeys – music, temperature, seat position – its quick and easy to operate from the back of the car.
Paul : The ability to interact with the car, including being able to mirror your phone to the digital screen, overall connectivity and seating comfort – are all aspects that receive great feedback for both corporate and hotel guests.
All passengers have mentioned zero emissions and are surprised by the battery range of the vehicle.
In addition, the many passengers comment on how amazingly smooth the ride is.
Alphonse : A great car!
Paul : A game changer!
Chabé is pleased to continue to attend professional tradeshows for luxury chauffeur companies.
The CD/NLA Show is the premier international event for the chauffeured transportation industry organized every year in the US. This event gathers luxury chauffeur companies from around the world.
Chabé regularly attends the show and was pleased to be back this year as well. It was remarkable to see the success the show had with attendees surpassing 2,200. It was impressive to witness the rebounce of the industry globally.
The show took place in Las Vegas from 5 – 8 March and Chabé actively participated in the meetings and discussions on the chauffeured transportation industry specificities and the best ways to serve customers by offering them a tailored and unique experience.
Our team on site included Guillaume Connan, CEO of Chabé, Nivin Salem, International Operations Director, and Eddie Lo, International Account Manager.
Guillaume Connan was one of the guest speakerson at the International Panel Discussion. Our participation focused on Chabé’s international development, the Group’s ability to satisfy growing customers’ needs, especially for large-scale events, as well as on the importance of understanding global complexities and due diligence processes.
Nivin Salem, International Operations Director, says : “We are delighted to have attended the show again this year. The show is a unique occasion for companies around the world to meet face to face.

Chabé recently acquired a brand-new car that is already a legend: the Mercedes-Maybach S 680 by Virgil Abloh.
The ex-Louis Vuitton US designer has indeed created this unique ultra-luxury model. There are only 150 cars in the world, and Chabé has acquired one of them.
Through this vehicle, Mercedes-Maybach and Virgil Abloh sought to redefine and push the boundaries of the customer luxury experience by suggesting a futuristic and ultra-sophisticated vision.
For its part, Chabé continues to meet the most demanding mobility needs of its customers worldwide, with a single mantra in mind: nothing’s impossible.
This 4-seater luxury vehicle redefines the rules of innovative design, with its two-tone colour palette.
While the upper part of the vehicle is lacquered in a glossy obsidian black, the lower part, the flanks, and the special forged rims are painted in a Colorado beige hue.
The four-seat configuration, steering wheel, doors, lower dashboard, and ceiling are lined in black and sand-colored nappa leather. Passengers will enjoy plenty of leg room as well as the integrated panoramic roof.
Design, comfort, technology… each detail of the new Mercedes-Maybach S 680 has been thought out, so that both the chauffeur and the passengers can enjoy a unique experience on board, like a journey suspended in time.
This model promises a unique driving experience and extraordinary adventures for its future passengers.
Are you ready for a new mobility experience? What will be your next adventure?
Digital, international, CSR : Guillaume Connan, CEO of Chabé, looks back on the highlights of 2022 and the Group’s prospects for 2023.
Renewal is the first word which comes to my mind. First, we’ve just ended a period of 2 tough years during which our customers couldn’t travel as they wished. This led to great frustration, and they made up for lost time in 2022. We witnessed a tremendous liberation. Our customers wanted to travel again, even more than before. However, they paid more attention to travel quality and security, and it has clearly benefited us. We experienced record demand for our services wherever we operate.
Renewal again: in 2022, Chabé benefited from initiatives that we had prepared during previous years. Firstly, we focused on our international development, with brand-new foreign subsidiaries and our network expansion. Secondly, we developed our digital strategy, with the implementation of tools aimed to further improve the customer journey. Finally, we continued working on our CSR approach. We have achieved key milestones. For example, our vehicle fleet has been predominantly low carbon since the end of 2022.
Our international development was undoubtedly the greatest success. One year after its opening, Chabé Ltd (our UK subsidiary) has become one of the top local operators and is already recognized as the one offering the best quality of service.
Our affiliate network is now operational in 100 countries and skyrocketed in 2022, with increasing number of key customers using the service to meet their transportation needs wherever they go. Finally, we demonstrated our ability to manage large-scale events everywhere in the world, with a busy line-up that we had never experienced before.
We will carry on developing abroad, with new subsidiaries opening, while strengthening our network and our international events team. We will also develop new digital tools, and we would like to accelerate our CSR commitment.
This is in line with the strategy deployed for three years now. We will also innovate in the customer experience field, with even higher quality of service as our final goal. We are experts in bespoke mobility, and we aspire to assert ourselves as a responsible luxury brand.
CSR is a pillar of Chabé’ s strategy. For the past few years, the Group’s CSR approach has intensified. Chabé has made it part of the company aims and has included it in its statutes.
This brand-new year is a starting point in the evolution of the Group’s CSR certification by Ecovadis.
But let’s start by asking the following question: what is Ecovadis?
Ecovadis is a worldwide provider of business sustainability ratings which assesses the sustainability performance of a range of French and/or international companies, whatever their industry or size.
The point rating system integrates 4 dimensions, as follows:
Ecovadis then weights these 4 dimensions according to the business sector in order to build an overall score.
The certification relies on an overall score (0-100 points) with medals (platinum, gold, silver, bronze) awarded to the best-performing companies.
The certification is of great significance, both for BtoB relations (and especially in selecting suppliers, customers, and providers, among others) and in measuring companies’ social and environmental impact.
This year, Chabé has won the Ecovadis silver medal with an overall score of 61 points out of 100. The company ranks in the top 25 of best-performing companies in all business sectors. If we compare Chabé’s results with those in our industry sector, the Group scored above average in all categories.
Chabé first applied for certification in November 2021 and won a bronze medal. The new medal awarded to the Group highlights the company’s progress in terms of CSR performance and choices.

Let’s look back together on 2022.
As an expert in bespoke journeys, Chabé continued its overseas development. We put our know-how and expertise to work during complex events in the luxury, fashion, sports, jewelry and banking industries.
Chabé was chosen to provide personalised service to meet the highest transportation expectations at 14 prestigious events held in eleven countries.
From Morocco to Japan, as well as to the United States, Egypt and Dubai, Chabé continued to support its customers all over the world, covering four out of five continents. For each project, Chabé provided a dedicated team of private chauffeurs and operational managers.
As an example, in June and July 2022, Chabé set off for Africa to serve one of the most prestigious French luxury houses. The Group took care of a series of premium trips for a specific event in Morocco which gathered people from all over the world. They came to attend an unprecedented presentation of a hundred pieces from a prestigious high jewelry collection. Around 200 chauffeurs too part.
Other outstanding events took place last year in unusual and exceptional places.
For instance, last May and October, Chabé served two major customers’ events in the United States. Each event lasted a week and attracted luxury customers who came to see the brand-new haute couture and high jewelry collections for the coming season.
Two big events in the haute couture industry took place in Egypt and Japan at the end of the year, and Chabé was chosen for both events. One of them took place early December in the city of Cairo in Egypt.
-> One of the biggest French luxury brands in the fashion industry organised a show at the foot of the Great Pyramid of Giza, an iconic site listed as part of world heritage since 1979.
It was a unique opportunity to present a colourful new collection in a setting lit up by a thousand lights. During this timeless fashion show, past and future combined and influenced each other. This parallels Chabé’s positioning, which combines tradition and modernity with attention to every detail in order to provide high-quality services at any time.
This outstanding show welcomed nearly 500 hand-picked guests. For 12 days, Chabé provided 300 vehicles to support the event.
The fashion show rounded off a series of luxury events served by Chabé in 2022, both in France and abroad.
What do these events have in common? The answer is simple: high standards, a personalised experience, both for the customer and the passenger, as well as a constant attention to detail for each transfer request.
Participating in such major events isn’t something that can be improvised. For each project, Chabé builds a dedicated coordination team and makes sure it fits in well with each country and the project’s requirements.
For every event, Chabé is committed to providing a bespoke mobility service, tailor-made to each customer’s requests and close to the ground. To this end, location scouting is carried out, while Chabé sets up a dedicated project team and trains chauffeurs according to the different features and issues of the project.
On site, the teams recruit, select, train, supervise and coordinate, in complete discretion, to ensure that the transport experience matches the events imagined by our clients.
In addition, a team is dedicated to IT and admin support for the event, available 24/7.
The biggest events require around 250 vehicles which are mobilized to serve the most specific requests, plus the expertise of some 20 people in the back office and on the ground.
It is with great enthusiasm and energy that we invite you to join us in 2023 for new mobility and travel experiences around the world. We want to go further, it’s true, but always with the touch of humility, high standards, commitment, passion and professionalism which are the biggest strengths of the Group and which have made its name for over 100 years.
Find out more about our dedicated event transportation services.
From Marocco to Japan, and even the United States or Egypt, Chabé kept on supporting its customers all over the world, with a personalised service designed to meet the highest mobility issues and expectations.
We are glad to support our customers (from which luxury brands in the fashion industry, banks, sport federations, travel agencies, hotels, public organisations,…) wherever needed.
Thank you to Chabe’s national and international teams who involved every day and worked with passion and professionalism to satisfy our most demanding customers.
A special thank you to our partners and customers for their trust.

Happy New Year 2023 !
Chabé is the first chauffeur operator to receive the new BMW i7 in the UK, ahead of the rest of the market.
Chabé can now offer to its clients a fully electric luxury saloon which combines revolutionary technology, an all-electric performance and a unique interior ambiance with a new design.
Engineering, digital innovation, aesthetics, comfort and agility are the strong points of the new BMW i7. It offers a multi-sensory digital experience, with all digital display passenger controls integrated within the interior door trim. The Excellence Pro version received by Chabé also integrates a theatre screen, allowing the rear passengers to indulge and relax on long journeys.
On the exterior this vehicle exhibits unique iconic glow crystal headlights for the first time, with integrated LED technology. In addition, the vehicle has a class leading boot space sufficient for two large suitcases which is class leading for luxury saloons.
To celebrate its arrival, Chabé London is showcasing the i7 to its clients across many sectors and industries including luxury brands, 5 star-hotels, private equity, banks and embassies.
The arrival of this game-changing car is fully aligned with Chabe’s commitment to electrify its fleet. Moreover, it increases the level of luxury and guest experience required to serve the most discerning clients at the top end of the market.
Lee Connolly, National Specialist Sales Manager at BMW UK, said : “I am delighted that Chabé is the first company to take delivery of the new all electric BMW i7. The i7 is our first fully electric, premium luxury saloon – it’s opulent interior and immersive technology will ensure the needs of the Chauffeur Market are met.”
David Bruce of Chabé Limited added : “We are thrilled to take receipt of our very first BMW i7. The reception by our clients and chauffeurs has been amazing. More and more clients are demanding fully electric vehicles and the i7 allows us to deliver that without compromise to a luxury guest experience – this will be the first of many BMW i7s to arrive onto the Chabé fleet in London and across the Continent.”
London-based Chabé has won the Gold Award for the Best Large Chauffeur Company of the Year (+11 Cars). It was delivered by the prestigious Professional Driver QSi Awards, the UK’s only national awards for the private hire, taxi and chauffeur sector.
Professional Driver magazine’s QSi Awards ceremony was a night to remember for the cream of Britain’s chauffeur and private hire operators. The awards, open to every chauffeur and private hire company in the UK, are designed to recognise operators and individuals that demonstrate excellent standards of Quality, Service and Innovation.
Gold, Silver and Bronze awards were presented in 10 categories at an event which was held at the Celtic Manor Resort in Newport, November 29.
The 10 categories mean there’s something for every size and type of operator, from one-man bands to large fleets. Categories also reward innovations in marketing, environmental performance and local community activities, while a special award – Professional Driver of the Year – singles out a chauffeur or private hire driver who is judged to be the best in the UK.
It’s a great achievement for Chabe London after the New Start Operator winning award of last year. We are really proud to be recognized the Best Large Chauffeur Company of the Year Award (+11 Cars).
