UK weather can disrupt chauffeur transfers. Here's how we handle the disruption.
Vehicle preparation
- All vehicles have winter-grade all-season tyres (UK standard) — snow tyres on long-distance vehicles where regular Scotland routes apply
- De-icer + ice-scraper carried in every vehicle
- Heater systems tested seasonally
Bad-weather scenarios
Light snow / frost: Standard operation with extra time buffer. We add 15-20 minutes to standard timings.
Heavy snow: Route choice changes — motorway over secondary roads. Sometimes we recommend rescheduling.
Fog: Speed reduced; pickup time adjusts to actual visibility. Driver maintains adequate buffer.
Flooding: Affected routes avoided. Some journeys rescheduled.
Severe weather (Met Office Amber/Red warning): We may decline new bookings or cancel existing ones for driver/vehicle safety. No charge on weather-cancellations.
What you should do
- Build extra time into critical bookings during November-March
- Watch the Met Office forecasts for amber/red warnings
- Email us in advance if there's any doubt about a specific trip
