§ 00GUIDE BRIEF

Executive Assistant Car Service Checklist

An executive assistant car service checklist should capture the passenger role, pickup point, destination, timing, vehicle class, luggage, flight or FBO details, wait policy, billing note, day-of contact path, and who can approve changes. The goal is to prevent the executive from solving logistics at the curb. A useful request tells the provider what needs to happen, what can change, and how the confirmation should read before the trip starts.

§ 01QUOTE FIT

When this becomes an Artisan Chauffeur & Concierge trip

Artisan Chauffeur & Concierge supports executive assistants with quote review, vehicle-class selection, airport/FBO details, wait policy, toll treatment, billing notes, and day-of contact paths before service. The checklist is designed so the assistant can send one complete request instead of managing a thread of corrections.

Good fit
  • ·The passenger is an executive, VIP guest, principal, board member, or client.
  • ·The trip includes an airport, FBO, event, multi-stop day, or uncertain release.
  • ·The assistant needs quote terms, vehicle class, and contact path confirmed before movement.
Usually not a fit
  • ·The passenger is making a casual immediate local trip with no timing or vehicle requirements.
Vehicle fit
  • Sedan: one executive with light luggage
  • SUV: executive plus assistant, bags, samples, car seats, or airport uncertainty
  • Sprinter: team, event, or group movement
  • Two vehicles: privacy, staff, luggage, or split destinations
§ 02SHORT ANSWER

The decision layer

This guide should help a traveler choose the right option quickly, then move into a quote when the itinerary needs control over pickup, vehicle class, and handoff.

Best overall
Send the traveler, pickup point, destination, timing, flight or FBO, vehicle class, luggage, billing note, and change authority.
Cheapest
Use point-to-point when timing is fixed; use hourly only when the executive needs control across multiple stops or uncertain release.
Fastest
One assistant contact with authority to update timing prevents conflicting passenger, office, and operator messages.
Best for luggage
SUV when checked bags, samples, garments, car seats, or assistant travel would strain a sedan.
Business travel
Pre-arranged sedan or SUV for executives, VIP guests, airports, FBOs, meetings, and late-night returns.
§ 03OPTIONS COMPARED

Every realistic option compared

The important comparison is not just price. It is the tradeoff between cost, luggage friction, pickup control, and how much of the final handoff can be planned before confirmation.

Costs and timing reflect public source data and operator-network planning ranges; the quote states inclusions and pass-through variables before confirmation.

01

Basic transfer request

Send exact door, canopy, terminal, or FBO notes in the first request.

Time
Point-to-point pickup and drop-off
Cost
Route quote by vehicle class, tolls, fees, wait policy, and date
Best for
Office, hotel, airport, dinner, and residence transfers with fixed timing
Weakness
Missing entrance, luggage, or flight details cause day-of back-and-forth
02

Hourly executive support

Use hourly when timing control matters more than the lowest transfer cost.

Time
Duty window with multiple stops, meetings, dinner, or uncertain release
Cost
Hourly quote with minimum, overtime, parking, toll, and release terms
Best for
Board days, investor meetings, client visits, events, and schedules that may shift
Weakness
Overbuilt for one simple transfer where point-to-point is enough
03

Airport or FBO request

Send terminal or FBO, passenger-ready timing, bags, and pickup style.

Time
Flight-tracked pickup or passenger-ready FBO handoff
Cost
Airport or FBO quote with vehicle class, wait, tolls, and access fees
Best for
JFK, LGA, EWR, Teterboro, Westchester, and private aviation arrivals
Weakness
Flight number alone is not enough for luggage, vehicle fit, or FBO handoff
04

Change protocol

Name the person who can approve waits, releases, and route changes.

Time
Before dispatch through passenger drop-off
Cost
Wait, overtime, cancellation, tolls, and pass-throughs should be visible
Best for
Delayed flights, early arrivals, meeting overruns, event releases, and vehicle holds
Weakness
If the executive, assistant, and office all send changes separately, instructions conflict
§ 04OPTION-BY-OPTION

When each option wins

What to send

Send passenger name or role, mobile number if allowed, pickup and destination with entrance notes, date, time, flight or tail number, terminal or FBO, passenger count, luggage, vehicle preference, wait preference, billing note, and approver for changes.

What to verify

Verify vehicle class, pickup point, handoff style, included wait, toll and surcharge treatment, cancellation policy, chauffeur contact path, and whether the vehicle waits or releases after pickup. For hourly service, verify the minimum and overtime increment.

What to avoid

Do not send only an address and time when the trip touches an airport, FBO, venue, hotel canopy, or office tower with multiple entrances. The missing detail is what causes the passenger to troubleshoot during the trip.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Send passenger role, pickup point, destination, date, time, flight or FBO details, vehicle class, passenger count, luggage, billing note, wait preference, and who can approve changes.

Use point-to-point for one fixed transfer. Use hourly when the executive has multiple stops, uncertain meeting release, event timing, or needs the same vehicle held between movements.

The most common mistake is sending only an address and time. Airport, FBO, hotel, office, and venue pickups need entrance, handoff, luggage, vehicle, and contact details.

Yes. The quote should state the contact path for the passenger and assistant, plus who can approve holds, release changes, route updates, or added vehicles.
