Chauffeur & transfers
From the airport meet to a full day across the city to an intercity drive, a car and chauffeur kept for you rather than shared, selected to a high standard we insist on, matched by vehicle category, and planned with buffers so movement is rarely the stressful part.
The idea
Good private movement is barely noticed. The car is there when you need it, the driver knows where to go, luggage is handled, and the timing has a cushion built in, so getting between places never becomes the thing that colours the day.
We plan and run that movement across every common use-case, from a single airport transfer to a chauffeur kept with you all day, matching the vehicle category to the number travelling, the luggage and the occasion, and holding every car and driver to ALVIA’s standard.
How we plan it
Where to begin
The common use-cases, each a starting point rather than a fixed package. Tell us the journey and we match the vehicle category and the timing to it.
Suits Arrivals and departures, handled calmly
A private meet on arrival and a timed departure transfer, with waiting time and flight timing accounted for so the airport is never a scramble.
Airport chauffeur guide, Airport transfersSuits A single journey between two places
A direct transfer from one address to another, a hotel to a venue, a meeting to a restaurant, without a shared schedule or a waiting meter to watch.
Arrange a transfer, Point-to-pointSuits A car and driver kept with you for a block of time
A vehicle at your disposal for a set number of hours, waiting between stops, for errands, appointments or an unhurried afternoon across the city.
Arrange hourly, Hourly disposalSuits A driver for the whole day
A car and chauffeur for the day, moving with your plan rather than against it, sightseeing, meetings or a mix, with the logistics quietly handled.
Arrange a full day, Full-daySuits A wedding, a dinner, a milestone evening
Considered, discreet movement around an occasion, timed to the event rather than to traffic, with the vehicle category matched to the moment.
Arrange for an event, Event & occasionSuits Journeys beyond Dubai, such as Dubai-Abu Dhabi
A longer private transfer between emirates, planned around distance, timing and any stops, coordinated so the drive is part of the trip, not a chore.
Arrange an intercity drive, Intercity coordination
Categories, not models
We work by category, not by a single make or model. Here is how the broad categories compare across passengers, luggage and feel, so you can pick the right class for the journey.
| Consideration | Executive saloon | Premium SUV | Spacious MPV / van |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best for | One or two travelling in comfort | A small group, or a preference for a higher seat | Larger groups or more luggage |
| Typical passengers | Up to around three, comfortably | Up to around four to five | Around six and above, by vehicle |
| Luggage | A few cases | More generous | The most, and awkward items |
| Feel | Discreet and understated | Higher, roomier, a little more presence | Practical, room to spread out |
| Child seats | Arranged and fitted for you | Arranged and fitted for you | Arranged and fitted for you |
| Accessibility | Lower step in and out | Higher step; grab handles help | Varies by vehicle; flag needs early |
| Suits | Airport, point-to-point, executive | Family, day trips, intercity | Groups, events, more luggage |
| Confirmed by | Confirmed to category | Confirmed to category | Confirmed to category |
Whichever category suits, the practicalities are agreed before the journey: the number travelling and the luggage, any child-seat or accessibility request, expected waiting time and extra stops, how tolls and parking are handled, and a sensible buffer for traffic or a flight. We arrange a vehicle in the agreed class, selected to a high standard we insist on, and confirm every detail for your date.
Why a specialist
Good transfers are built around your day, not the other way round. We plan, coordinate and personally oversee your private movement, and the chauffeurs and vehicles we select are held to a high standard we insist on, licensed, presentable and briefed on your journey.
We work by vehicle category rather than a single make or model, and we plan every transfer with sensible buffers, particularly around airports and events, so a little traffic or a delayed flight rarely becomes a problem. You arrive unhurried, and one ALVIA team stays accountable for how it runs.
One specialist team plans, coordinates and stands behind every part of your journey — from the first message to the final farewell. If anything needs solving, we solve it.
Clarity before commitment
Vehicle categories, capacities and timings described here are illustrative until we shape them to you. We confirm the specific vehicle, timing and terms with you in writing before anything is booked.

We work by vehicle category, an executive saloon, a premium SUV, or a spacious MPV or van, rather than a single make or model. We describe the category, its comfort and its capacity clearly, and arrange a vehicle in that class, selected to a high standard we insist on. If a specific make matters to you, tell us and we will tell you plainly what we can arrange for your date.
It depends on the category. A saloon suits one to a few travellers with a few cases; an SUV carries a small group with more luggage; an MPV or van suits larger groups or more bags and awkward items. Tell us the number travelling and the luggage, and we match the category so no one is squeezed.
Yes. Tell us the ages and we arrange the right child seats and have them fitted for your journey. We confirm the detail with you in writing so everything is in place before the car arrives.
Tell us the requirement early, a lower step, help with mobility, or space for equipment, and we match a suitable vehicle and plan the journey around it. We will always be clear about what we can arrange for your date, and we make sure it is ready before you travel.
We agree waiting time and any additional stops in advance, and tolls and parking are set out up front. Everything is laid out clearly in your proposal so there are no surprises after the journey.
We plan every transfer with sensible buffers, particularly around airports and events, so a little traffic or a delayed flight never becomes a problem. We watch flight timing, choose the route with care, and build in the cushions that keep you arriving unhurried.
Once the details are agreed, the journey, the vehicle category, timing and any requests, we confirm everything and set it out in writing. Nothing is treated as booked until that written confirmation is in place.
Share the route, the number travelling, the luggage and the timing, including any flight, child-seat or accessibility needs. We reply with the right vehicle category and a clear plan, with sensible buffers and clear terms set out, at your pace.
