With the rise in per capita income of most of the developed and some still developing countries, purchasing and maintaining a car, is no longer considered a privilege.  It is quite clear that the upheaval on the city roads, on account of traffic snarls, is attributed to this rise.  Now, owning a car is not an issue but driving your car through the tenaciousness of traffic jams, has indeed become a serious problem.  If it is a matter of day-to-day affairs like shuttling between your office and home, you can still convince yourself to go through such situations but, what about those special occasions when you are supposed to pay all your attention to yourself and your near and dear ones?  That’s the reason why you see a smartly dressed man driving the bride to the wedding spot, so that bride could enjoy her last few moments of singlehood, instead of honking and concentrating on the vehicular moment on the road.

This neatly and well-behaved man is referred to as chauffeur and like any other job, this job is demanding and requires pristine physical fitness, temperament, quick-thinking and lots of patience. During the long journeys, even a slight lapse, like dozing, taking your eyes of the road and letting the complacency of your skills overriding the actual need of the hour, can prove fatal.  Therefore, the job of a Chauffeur is full of perils and uncertainty and carrying on the job of a chauffeur without valid Chauffeur Insurance, is neither pragmatic nor permissible under the law.

Those people, who overlook these laws and flout the rules set by the government, consequently find themselves in the grip of the law.  If you are offering chauffeur services to any individual or a firm, you are required to get yourself insured.  People often confuse chauffeur insurances with the Commercial Vehicle Insurance. This confusion leads them to believe that, they do not require additional insurance for the driver. If you are taking the services of a chauffeur or you run a company which provides cars for the purposes of marriages, parties or any other events, please ensure that the person appointed as a chauffeur meets the criteria of insurance.
