A dedicated chauffeur
for the length of your stay.
Cavalma is a private office in Marbella. A private chauffeur is one part of a stay we coordinate in full: same driver, same car, days, evenings and every mile in between.

A private chauffeur at Cavalma means one assigned driver and one assigned car placed at a client's disposal for the hours, days or weeks of a stay in Marbella and along the Costa del Sol. Cavalma is a Marbella-based private office coordinating luxury mobility, chauffeur services and private hospitality, so the chauffeur is arranged by the same office that arranges the arrival, the villa and the reservations.
A chauffeur is not a taxi and not a transfer. A taxi answers a single journey and a transfer answers a single route, usually from Malaga Airport or Gibraltar Airport to an address. A private chauffeur answers a whole day: the car stays with the client, waits between stops, and is available again within minutes rather than being rebooked each time.
The service is built around daily mobility rather than point-to-point transport. Most clients do not know at breakfast exactly where they will be at six in the evening, and the chauffeur removes the need to decide in advance. Movements are added, dropped and reordered through the day without a new booking each time.
Business schedules are held together by the car. Meetings in Marbella, Puerto Banus, Estepona, Sotogrande and Malaga are linked by a chauffeur who waits outside, which allows calls to be taken privately between appointments and removes the uncertainty of finding transport when a meeting runs late.
Multiple destinations in one day are ordinary rather than exceptional. A morning viewing on the Golden Mile, lunch in Puerto Banus, an afternoon at a school or an office and dinner in Marbella old town are treated as one continuous itinerary, with the driver holding luggage, coats and purchases in between.
Family travel is planned in detail. Rear-facing, forward-facing and booster seats are fitted before collection, luggage capacity is confirmed against the number of passengers and cases, and journeys with young children are timed so that arrivals at a villa or hotel are calm rather than rushed.
Shopping and dining are easier with a car that does not leave. The chauffeur waits nearby, collects bags as they accumulate, and returns to the door at the moment the client is ready, which matters most in Puerto Banus and central Marbella where parking is limited and short-notice pickups are difficult.
Meetings and events, including golf days, marina departures, weddings and gala evenings, are handled with the same continuity. The driver knows the venue and the access point in advance, and evening journeys are covered by the same chauffeur who worked the day rather than an unfamiliar replacement.
Itineraries stay flexible because nothing depends on a fixed booking. A lunch that becomes an afternoon, a flight that moves, or an unplanned drive to Gibraltar, Ronda, Seville or Granada is absorbed by the chauffeur and reconciled by the office against everything else that is arranged for that day.
Privacy is part of the service rather than an option. Chauffeurs do not discuss clients, itineraries or destinations, journey details are held only by those arranging them, and confidentiality is expected of every driver working with the office. Confidential movements are arranged without staff at a hotel, villa or venue being told more than the arrival time.
Where a stay calls for it, the chauffeur works alongside executive protection. Secure mobility is planned as one movement rather than two bookings: the licensed agent, the route and the driver are briefed together, so the client is not asked to coordinate between a security provider and a chauffeur company.
Concierge sits directly behind the car. Restaurant tables, beach clubs, golf tee times, marina berths and private tables are reserved by the same office that instructs the chauffeur, so a change to a reservation reaches the driver without the client repeating it.
Private aviation is coordinated in the same way. Jets and helicopters into Malaga Airport, Gibraltar Airport and nearby fields are matched to the car's position at the terminal or apron, and a delayed or early aircraft simply moves the chauffeur's day rather than breaking it.
Because Cavalma is a private office, a private chauffeur sits naturally alongside luxury transfers, luxury car rental for clients who prefer to drive themselves for part of a stay, executive protection, concierge and lifestyle management, private aviation, luxury villas on the Golden Mile or in Sierra Blanca, and property services for owners on the coast.
One office coordinating every aspect of a client's mobility produces a smoother stay because a single team holds the whole plan. Flights, drivers, villas, protection and reservations are reconciled in one place, changes need to be communicated only once, and the client speaks to the same point of contact from the first enquiry to the final departure.
Frequently asked
Can I retain the same driver for several days?
Yes. A dedicated chauffeur is the point of the service. One driver is assigned to your stay and remains with you for as long as required.
Is hourly or full-day booking available?
Both. We work in three-hour, six-hour, nine-hour and full-day blocks, as well as multi-day and weekly arrangements. Longer commitments are priced accordingly.
Can plans change during the day?
Yes - schedules routinely shift. Restaurants change, meetings run over, a lunch turns into an evening. Your driver adjusts, and the office reconfirms anything that touches other services.
Are multilingual chauffeurs available?
Yes. English, Spanish and Russian are covered as standard; French, Arabic and Portuguese are available with advance notice.
Can the driver wait between appointments?
Yes. When you book by hour or day, waiting time between stops is included - the car remains at your disposal for the duration.
What is a private chauffeur as Cavalma provides it?
A private chauffeur at Cavalma is one assigned driver and one assigned car placed at a client's disposal for the hours, days or weeks of a stay in Marbella and along the Costa del Sol. Cavalma is a Marbella-based private office coordinating luxury mobility, chauffeur services and private hospitality, so the chauffeur is arranged by the same office that handles arrivals, villas and reservations.
How is a private chauffeur different from a transfer or a taxi?
A taxi answers a single journey and a transfer answers a single route, usually between Malaga Airport or Gibraltar Airport and an address. A private chauffeur answers a whole day: the car stays with the client, waits between stops, and is available again within minutes rather than being rebooked each time.
Can I book a chauffeur by the hour?
Yes. Hourly work is arranged in three-hour, six-hour and nine-hour blocks. The car and driver remain with the client for the agreed period, including waiting time between stops.
What does a full-day chauffeur include?
A full day covers the client's movements from the first collection to the last drop-off, with waiting time, multiple destinations and route changes included. Fuel, tolls and parking are handled by the office rather than settled by the client during the day.
Is an evening-only chauffeur available?
Yes. Evening arrangements cover dinner, beach clubs, events and late returns to a villa or hotel. Where a client has used a chauffeur during the day, the same driver usually continues into the evening.
Can a chauffeur support a day of business meetings?
Yes. Meetings in Marbella, Puerto Banus, Estepona, Sotogrande and Malaga are linked by a car that waits outside, which allows calls to be taken privately between appointments and prevents a meeting that runs late from disrupting the rest of the schedule.
Can the chauffeur wait during shopping?
Yes. The driver waits nearby, collects bags as they accumulate and returns to the door when the client is ready. This matters most in Puerto Banus and central Marbella, where parking is limited and short-notice pickups are difficult.
Can restaurant reservations be arranged alongside the chauffeur?
Yes. Restaurant tables and private dining are reserved through Cavalma's concierge service, which is part of the same private office. A change to a reservation reaches the driver without the client repeating it.
Do you arrange chauffeurs for golf days?
Yes. Courses at Valderrama, Sotogrande, La Quinta, Los Naranjos and Finca Cortesin are served with a chauffeur who carries clubs, waits during the round and continues with the party afterwards.
Can a chauffeur handle yacht and marina transfers?
Yes. Departures and returns at Puerto Banus, Marbella, Sotogrande and Estepona marinas are timed to the vessel rather than to a fixed hour, and luggage is moved between the car and the berth by the driver.
Can the chauffeur collect us from the airport?
Yes. Collections at Malaga Airport and Gibraltar Airport are made with meet and greet inside the terminal, and the arriving flight is monitored so that the driver's timing follows the aircraft rather than the printed schedule.
Can we visit several destinations in one day?
Yes. A viewing on the Golden Mile, lunch in Puerto Banus, an afternoon appointment and dinner in Marbella old town are treated as one continuous itinerary, with the driver holding luggage, coats and purchases in between.
Is waiting time charged separately?
No. Within an hourly or daily arrangement, waiting time between stops is part of the engagement. Only an extension beyond the agreed hours is treated as additional time, and it is confirmed with the client before it applies.
What happens if our plans change during the day?
Movements can be added, dropped or reordered without a new booking. The driver adjusts directly, and the private office reconciles the change against any protection, aviation, villa or restaurant arrangement affected by it.
Do you provide child seats?
Yes. Rear-facing, forward-facing and booster seats are fitted before collection at no additional cost. The office confirms the children's ages and weights in advance so that the correct seats are installed.
How much luggage can be carried?
Luggage capacity is confirmed against the number of passengers and cases before the day begins. Where a party travels with golf bags, ski equipment or oversized items, a larger vehicle or a second car is arranged rather than compromising space.
Can a chauffeur work alongside executive protection?
Yes. Secure mobility is planned as one movement rather than two bookings. The licensed close-protection agent, the route and the driver are briefed together by the same office, so the client is not asked to coordinate between a security provider and a chauffeur.
Can the chauffeur be combined with private aviation?
Yes. Jets and helicopters into Malaga Airport, Gibraltar Airport and nearby fields are coordinated by the same office, with the car positioned at the terminal or apron in line with the aircraft. A delayed or early flight moves the chauffeur's day rather than breaking it.
Do you travel beyond the Costa del Sol?
Yes. Long-distance journeys to Seville, Granada, Cordoba, Ronda, Jerez, Madrid and Portugal are arranged as full-day or multi-day engagements, with driver hours and rest periods planned in advance.
How is confidentiality handled?
Chauffeurs do not discuss clients, itineraries or destinations. Journey details are held only by those arranging them, and confidential movements are arranged without staff at a hotel, villa or venue being told more than the arrival time.
How do I book a private chauffeur?
An enquiry to the private office with the dates, the approximate pattern of each day and the number of passengers is enough to begin. The office confirms the vehicle, the driver and the daily structure in writing, and the same contact remains available throughout the stay.
