Secure Luxury Transport

Close Protection Drivers & Security Chauffeurs

Professional Security Chauffeurs for VIP, Diplomatic, and High-Risk Travel UK-wide

A Close Protection Driver is a security professional with advanced driving and personal protection skills, ensuring safe, discreet, and controlled travel for VIPs, executives, and high-profile clients.

At UK Protection Ltd, our Close Protection Drivers and Security Chauffeurs, many of whom are former police and specialist protection officers, provide secure, low-profile transport in armoured and prestige vehicles throughout the United Kingdom.

What Our Close Protection Drivers Provide

Our service is tailored for clients who need more than standard chauffeur services.

While ordinary chauffeurs focus primarily on transport, our Close Protection Drivers ensure comprehensive safety and discretion on every journey.

Each driver is trained in:

  • Defensive and evasive driving
  • Surveillance awareness and counter-surveillance
  • Threat assessment and route planning
  • Secure pick-up and drop-off procedures
  • Diplomatic and corporate protocol
  • Emergency and blue-light response (where permitted)

This rigorous training contrasts sharply with typical chauffeur duties, emphasising why our services are indispensable in high-stakes environments. This approach ensures every journey is secure, private, and risk-managed from door to door.

Secure Luxury Transport Fleet

To support high-risk, diplomatic, and corporate travel, we operate a diverse fleet of vehicles, including: 

  • Unmarked, low-profile designs
  • Ballistic and blast protection
  • Discreet blue-light systems and encrypted radios
  • These vehicles are ideal for sensitive movements, high-threat locations, and official duties.
  • Range Rover Autobiography LWB
  • Mercedes S-Class
  • Mercedes V-Class Executive
  • They offer enhanced comfort, privacy glass, and controlled access environments.
