Your driver speaks English, French, Mandarin Chinese and Arabic, drives a 100% electric Polestar 2 and knows the domaines, the back roads and the right lunch tables. ## What is a licensed VTC driver? VTC (voiture de transport avec chauffeur) is the French licence for private drivers. The driver passes a professional exam and holds a VTC card, shown on the windscreen, and the business is listed on the national register of VTC operators with professional insurance. By law a VTC only carries passengers who have booked in advance: it never waits for fares in the street or at a taxi rank, and the price of your trip is fixed per car when you book. That is why every service on this site works by reservation. ## Meet your driver Your private driver in Beaune. - Languages: French, English, Chinese (Mandarin), Arabic - Vehicle: Polestar 2 · 100% electric - Guests: 1–4 - Licence: Licensed VTC driver ## Your driver speaks your language English, French, Mandarin Chinese and Arabic.
