Based in the heart of Inverness, our local team leverages intimate knowledge of the Highlands to craft journeys that feel like the opening scenes of a film: mist rolling off ancient lochs, sunlight pouring across heather-covered hills, and quiet roads leading into hidden glens. Each vehicle in our Mercedes-Benz fleet is meticulously maintained and equipped with plush leather seating, climate control, and on-board Wi-Fi. Whether you’re landing at Inverness Airport or embarking on a bespoke tour, you’re greeted by a professional, uniformed chauffeur who knows these roads as well as the stories that make them magical. Sit back, relax and let the Highlands unfold.
Many operators rely on broad promises and generic descriptions of their services. We take a different approach. At Inverness Chauffeur Hire, every detail is intentional, thoughtful, and handcrafted. From the way we plan each journey to the standard of comfort we deliver, our service is built around genuine care, precision, and a deep understanding of what travellers truly value.
We do not bundle travellers into pre‑set packages. Our travel designers consult with you to craft a one‑day tour that reflects your interests. Dream of seeing the Fairy Pools on the Isle of Skye, exploring the ruins of Urquhart Castle or capturing the Jacobite steam train crossing Glenfinnan Viaduct? We’ll weave these highlights into a seamless day filled with stories and scenic stops.
Our drivers are not just licensed; they are trained to discreet, professional standards and meet more rigorous requirements than many competitors. While some operators describe their staff simply as “courteous and knowledgeable drivers”, our chauffeurs possess in‑depth local expertise, speak multiple languages, offer concierge‑style service and are hand‑picked for their passion for storytelling. We use the phrase “private chauffeur jobs” only to highlight these professional standards.
Our Mercedes‑Benz fleet spans the elegant E‑Class, spacious Vito Tourer, luxurious S‑Class and versatile V‑Class. Each equipped with soft‑close doors, panoramic roofs, ambient lighting and complimentary bottled water. We ensure our cars are sanitised before every journey.
We go beyond simple descriptions by offering narrative depth. Your chauffeur will share tales of Viking raids, Jacobite rebellions, and local myths turning every mile into an engaging, story-rich journey through Scotland’s past.
We understand that luxury travellers value privacy. Our chauffeurs maintain strict confidentiality for celebrity and VIP clients, ensuring safe and discreet travel. Transparent pricing means no hidden fees. Our rate starts from £45 per hour and includes personalised itinerary planning, fuel and parking.
Our vehicles feature advanced driver assistance systems, independent air‑conditioning for each passenger row, onboard Wi‑Fi, complimentary refreshments and umbrellas for unpredictable Highland weather. Child seats and boosters are available on request at no additional cost.
By combining cinematic storytelling, deep local knowledge and five‑star service, we offer an experience unrivalled by any competitor.
Our vehicles are more than modes of transport; they are private lounges on wheels, tuned for comfort and designed to complement the Highland landscape.

Our one‑day tours immerse you in the Highlands’ most captivating stories. We share narratives drawn from history, geology and legend. Every tour includes a knowledgeable chauffeur, flexible itinerary and stops for photography, dining and exploration. Below are our signature experiences, all fully customisable.
Leaving Inverness at dawn, your chauffeur guides you west along the Road to the Isles. As we cross the Skye Bridge, the Cuillin mountains rise like jagged teeth. On the island, you’ll explore the Fairy Pools, a chain of deep blue and turquoise pools beneath the Cuillin mountains. According to local legend, fairy folk bathed here; today you can walk along a 2.4‑kilometre path past cascading waterfalls. Next, the Old Man of Storr emerges from the landscape, a 55‑metre basalt pinnacle formed 60 million years ago and shaped by colossal landslips. Your chauffeur will recount tales of giants and crofters as you hike to panoramic viewpoints over the Sound of Raasay. After a gourmet picnic, visit Kilt Rock and Mealt Falls, where 90‑metre vertical basalt columns resemble the pleats of a kilt, and Mealt Falls plunges directly into the Sound of Raasay.
We conclude at Neist Point, Skye’s westernmost lighthouse, where the sea turns gold at sunset. Throughout the day, the comfort of your Mercedes ensures you arrive refreshed – whether you’re travelling solo in our S‑Class or with family in our Vito Tourer.
Just 37 kilometres southwest of Inverness, the vast freshwater expanse of Loch Ness stretches 36 km long and up to 2.7 km wide. Its depths reach 230 metres, holding more water than all the lakes of England and Wales combined. As you cruise its dark waters aboard a private boat charter, your chauffeur narrates tales of “Nessie,” the legendary monster first chronicled in an Inverness Courier article in 1933. Disembarking at Urquhart Castle, you explore ruins that sprawl over two baileys on a promontory. The castle, one of Scotland’s largest, guarded the Great Glen and Loch Ness from its triangular headland. Wander past the medieval gatehouse, climb Grant Tower and imagine the defenders scanning the loch for invaders.
Our chauffeurs love sharing stories of the Grant clan and the castle’s dramatic destruction during the Jacobite uprisings. Back in your Mercedes, you drive along the lesser‑travelled southern shore, stopping at quiet villages and waterfalls before returning to Inverness.
The Cairngorms National Park is the largest national park in the UK, covering 4,528 km² and home to plateau summits around 1,300 m high. Departing Inverness, we enter this arctic‑alpine landscape where the River Spey rises and ancient Caledonian pine forests hug the glens. Choose to ride the funicular railway up Cairn Gorm for panoramic views, or hike through Rothiemurchus Forest where red squirrels dart between Scots pines. Our chauffeurs will explain the park’s unique geology: high plateaux, granite cliffs and arctic tundra conditions. For lunch, enjoy locally sourced produce in a secluded lodge. Photographers adore this tour for capturing golden eagles, reindeer herds and wild river valleys. Return via the Speyside Whisky Trail if time allows, with stops at boutique distilleries.
Heading southwest, we reach Fort William, a major tourist centre at the foot of Ben Nevis. Your chauffeur will explain how this town marks the start and end of both the West Highland Way and the Great Glen Way, making it a mecca for hillwalkers and climbers. After a short stroll along Loch Linnhe, continue to the Glenfinnan Viaduct. This 380 m long viaduct, the longest concrete railway bridge in Scotland, crosses the River Finnan at a height of 30 m and features 21 arches each spanning 15 m. Made famous by the Harry Potter films, it was built between 1897 and 1898.
Arrive in time to watch the Jacobite steam train puff across the viaduct. For history enthusiasts, visit the Glenfinnan Monument, where the Jacobite uprising began in 1745. Your chauffeur will share stories of Bonnie Prince Charlie and the dramatic engineering behind the viaduct, ensuring this day appeals to both train lovers and history buffs.
Considered one of Scotland’s most beautiful valleys, Glen Coe is a landscape born of a super‑volcano that erupted around 420 million years ago and was later sculpted by glaciers. Driving through this U‑shaped valley, you’ll see towering cliffs and the famous “Three Sisters” peaks, their green folds often cloaked in mist. Your chauffeur will recount the tragic Massacre of Glencoe in 1692, when government troops murdered members of the MacDonald clan despite enjoying their hospitality – a betrayal that still echoes through Scottish history. Stop for photographs at the Lost Valley trailhead and enjoy a gourmet lunch in a cosy inn. On the return journey, detour through the scenic Glen Etive, where scenes from films such as Skyfall were shot.
Our final signature tour takes you to the iconic Eilean Donan Castle. Sitting on a small tidal island at the confluence of three sea lochs (Loch Duich, Loch Long and Loch Alsh). The castle is connected to the mainland by a footbridge. Originally built in the 13th century, it became a stronghold of Clan Mackenzie and Clan MacRae before being destroyed during the Jacobite rebellions and reconstructed in the early 20th century. Walk across the stone bridge, explore the restored halls and picture the castle silhouetted against a sunset. We continue through the wild landscapes of Wester Ross, with stops at picturesque villages like Plockton and viewpoints overlooking the Torridon mountains. On this route, you can feel the emptiness and grandeur of the Highlands.
Each tour is flexible, adding stops at distilleries, waterfalls or craft shops. Our chauffeurs adjust your schedule to the season, ensuring you experience golden light at dusk or misty mornings at just the right moment.
Beyond sightseeing, Inverness Chauffeur Hire offers a suite of luxury chauffeur services designed to make every journey effortless.
Our core service is crafting cinematic one‑day tours through the Highlands. You select the destinations, and we handle the logistics, narration and indulgences. Choose from our signature tours or ask us to design a completely new itinerary perhaps combining castles and whisky distilleries or wildlife watching and mountain hikes. Unlike competitors who also offer multi‑day tours, we focus solely on day trips so we can pour all our attention into perfection.
Your luxury experience begins the moment you land. Our chauffeurs track your flight, meet you in the arrivals hall with a personalized sign, handle your luggage and escort you to a pristine Mercedes. Enjoy bottled water, mints and Wi‑Fi as we transport you to your hotel, private residence or onward destination. We also provide return transfers back to the airport, allowing you to relax right up until departure.
Business travellers require punctuality and discretion. Our corporate chauffeur service provides executive saloons or MPVs with privacy glass, Wi‑Fi and work surfaces. We plan your route to avoid delays and can wait between meetings if necessary. Our chauffeurs dress in tailored uniforms and are trained in corporate etiquette. Whether entertaining clients in Inverness or transferring executives to board meetings in Edinburgh, we ensure a seamless journey. Many of our corporate clients previously used services that simply promise comfort; they switch to us for our concierge‑level attention.
A wedding deserves a grand entrance. Choose from our S‑Class or V‑Class for the bride and groom, and the Vito Tourer for family and bridal parties. Vehicles are adorned with ribbons in your chosen colour and stocked with champagne flutes. Our chauffeurs arrive early, assist with gowns and coordinate with your photographer to capture stunning arrival shots. After the ceremony, relax as we escort you to your reception venue or to scenic locations for wedding photographs. We can also provide late‑night transfers for guests.
Travelling between Inverness hotels and local attractions? Our hotel transfer service is ideal for visitors staying in the city who want stress‑free travel to events, golf courses or restaurants. We partner with leading hotels to provide door‑to‑door service at any hour. Complimentary concierge calls mean your chauffeur can recommend dining spots or arrange entry to attractions.
Celebrities, diplomats and discerning travellers trust us for confidential transport. Privacy glass, non‑disclosure agreements, unmarked vehicles and secure payment processes ensure your identity remains discreet. We plan routes to avoid paparazzi and provide secure pick‑up/drop‑off locations. Whether you’re attending the Inverness Highland Games or a film shoot on Skye, your security and comfort are paramount.
Photographers often struggle with heavy equipment and unpredictable weather. Our Vito Tourer and V‑Class vehicles feature high roofs and extensive luggage space for tripods and cases. Your chauffeur understands the best light in each location; he or she will time your arrival at Loch Ness for reflections, Glen Coe for golden hour, or Glenfinnan for the steam train schedule. Portable umbrellas and warm blankets are provided for inclement conditions.
If you require local transport without a full tour, book our chauffeur‑driven cars by the hour. Explore Inverness Museum and Art Gallery, shop along the River Ness or dine at Michelin‑recommended restaurants. Our chauffeurs act as concierges, offering insights about local history and culture. This service is also ideal for evening events, allowing you to enjoy whisky tastings without worrying about driving.
“We booked a bespoke one‑day tour to celebrate our anniversary and selected the Mercedes S‑Class. From the moment our chauffeur opened the door in his immaculate suit, we felt like royalty. He personalised our route to include a surprise stop at a secluded loch for a champagne toast. The stories he shared about Loch Ness and the fairy legends of Skye made us feel connected to the land in a way generic tours never could. Our friends had used another chauffeur company and were underwhelmed by its generic commentary; in contrast, we felt as though we were travelling with a historian and storyteller.”
“Travelling with three generations can be challenging, but the Vito Tourer was perfect. Our chauffeur installed child seats, provided blankets and snacks and scheduled breaks in charming villages. The private boat on Loch Ness and a picnic at Urquhart Castle were the highlights. We learned about the castle’s history and the legend of Nessie while the kids searched the water for the monster. The day felt effortless and luxurious.”
“I visit Inverness frequently for work and have tried several services. What sets Inverness Chauffeur Hire apart is the professionalism. The chauffeur greeted me at the airport, had already researched traffic conditions and offered bottled water and Wi‑Fi in the E‑Class. His route knowledge saved us time, and I arrived at my meetings relaxed and prepared. My colleagues previously used a service that simply claimed to provide ‘private driver service’; this is leagues above.”
“As a solo female traveller, I valued the sense of safety and warmth. My chauffeur not only knew every scenic stop but also recommended local art galleries and cafés. He shared stories of the Glencoe Massacre and the engineering of the Glenfinnan Viaduct. It felt like travelling with a friend who wanted me to experience the Highlands as locals do.”
