Today, we’re meeting Ervin, founder of EG Chauffeurs, to explore how he built a premier chauffeur service catering to high-net-worth individuals, business leaders, and even royalty. With over a decade in the industry, his business has become a benchmark for luxury travel in London.
A luxury service with a personal touch
EG Chauffeurs was founded in 2013 with a vision: to offer an exclusive, traditional chauffeur service in an era dominated by app-based ride-sharing. Ervin saw an opportunity to serve a niche clientele who valued personal relationships and bespoke service. “Our clients know us by name—they know exactly who’s going to pick them up. That personal connection builds trust, and that’s everything in our business.”
Over the years, the company has grown into a trusted name in luxury travel, catering to high-net-worth individuals and international dignitaries. EG Chauffeurs has received eight industry awards—including four from Luxury Travel—and ranks #1 on Trustpilot in the UK’s chauffeur category. “We’re not the biggest, but we like it this way. Staying small means we can focus on delivering a higher level of quality and maintain the trust our clients have come to rely on.”
Steering through challenges to business success
Ervin’s journey started with a single car and a clear vision. As a former chauffeur and security professional, he recognised the need for a high-end service where clients could rely on familiarity and trust. “I had a choice: stay where I was, or create something better,” he explains. “I chose to start my own business to give clients the kind of service they truly deserve.”
Like any entrepreneur, he faced challenges along the way. The COVID-19 pandemic disrupted travel and impacted the industry, but Ervin’s resilience kept EG Chauffeurs moving forward. In the past five years, the company has flourished, expanding its team and strengthening its reputation in the luxury travel space.
Putting EG Chauffeurs in the fast lane with Capital on Tap
Managing a luxury travel business means staying on top of expenses—and that’s where Capital on Tap comes in. Before switching, Ervin struggled with lost receipts and complex expense tracking using other credit card providers. Now, with Capital on Tap, financial management is seamless. “The system is very easy to use. With just one click, I can download all our receipts for the past three months. It’s absolutely amazing and saves us so much time.”
The Capital on Tap Business Credit Card has also given Ervin the control and flexibility needed to manage a growing team. “Every chauffeur has their own card—including me and my business partner,” he says. “I can track spending, set limits, and keep everything running smoothly—all from my phone. It’s effortless control.”
