VTC vs Taxi
In France, the distinction between a VTC (voiture de transport avec chauffeur) and a traditional taxi is significant. VTC drivers are licensed by the French government, drive privately-owned premium vehicles, and provide pre-booked services at fixed rates. Taxis are metered and available for street hailing. For airport transfers, corporate travel, and any journey where comfort and reliability matter, a VTC is the superior choice.
What Makes a Great Chauffeur
A great chauffeur is far more than a driver. The best professionals in Paris combine impeccable driving skills with discretion, route knowledge, multilingual communication, and a genuine service ethic. They arrive early, handle luggage without being asked, maintain a clean and silent cabin, and never make the passenger feel rushed. ONYX WARD recruits only experienced professionals with at least five years of VTC service.
Flight Tracking and Waiting
All ONYX WARD chauffeurs monitor flight arrivals in real time through a professional tracking system. If a flight is delayed, your driver adjusts automatically and you are never charged for delays beyond your control. Standard waiting time at airports is 60 minutes from the actual landing time — extended waiting can be arranged in advance.
