How much buffer time should I plan between a meeting and dinner reservation?

Plan 30-45 minutes for downtown moves and 45-60 minutes if crossing to River North, West Loop, or Fulton Market during peak traffic.

Should I use the same chauffeur for multi-stop client entertainment?

Yes. A dedicated chauffeur maintains continuity, manages timing, and keeps vehicles staged for a seamless guest experience.

What vehicle is best for executive client dinners?

Luxury sedans are best for small executive groups, while SUVs provide extra space and privacy for VIP clients or multi-stop schedules.

Quick Answer

How do you keep client entertainment transportation on schedule?

Use a dedicated chauffeur, pre-map the route, and build a 30-60 minute buffer for downtown traffic so dinner reservations stay on time.

Design a Two-Stop Schedule

Plan a simple flow: office pickup, dinner reservation, optional after-dinner lounge. Avoid excessive stops that create delays or confusion.

Choose the Right Vehicle

Luxury sedan for 1-3 executives
Luxury SUV for VIP clients or additional privacy
Sprinter for small teams traveling together

Timing & Routing Tips

During peak hours, plan extra buffer time. West Loop and Fulton Market are busy after 5 PM, so a staged chauffeur ensures quick transitions.

Client Experience Details

Provide bottled water, charging cables, and quiet rides. For high-value clients, request meet-and-greet at the office lobby and door-to-door assistance.
