How much does a VIP security package cost in London?

Central Security Chauffeurs quotes every VIP Package individually after a confidential consultation and does not publish prices. The cost depends on how long you need cover, how many personnel are involved and which vehicles your plan requires, along with the level of concierge, home patrol and staffing support you expect. Once your needs are understood, you receive a quote for the plan you have agreed.

What does the VIP Package add beyond a bodyguard?

A bodyguard, or close protection officer, is one part of the VIP Package from Central Security Chauffeurs. The package adds a security chauffeur, 24-hour concierge, regular home patrol, 24-hour emergency response and help sourcing qualified security and transport staff. All of it is planned and run by one team, so your protection covers your travel, your bookings and your home as well as you.

How are licensed personnel coordinated across the VIP Package?

On the VIP Package, Central Security Chauffeurs coordinates every licensed person through one team and one shared plan. Your security chauffeur holds an SIA close protection licence and has strong local knowledge of London, and works alongside fully trained, government-accredited close protection officers. Because they plan together, the people driving and protecting you share the same schedule, routes and information, so moving from car to venue is handled within one team rather than passed between separate firms.

How does home patrol work within the VIP Package?

Home patrol is part of the VIP Package. Central Security Chauffeurs carries out regular security checks of your home, so the property is looked after while you are on holiday or a business trip. Because 24-hour emergency response is part of the same package, the property is covered by the same plan as the rest of your arrangements. Fuller cover is available through the residential security service.

How are vehicles chosen for the VIP Package?

Vehicles for the VIP Package are chosen during planning to suit your schedule and the occasion, and are confirmed with you in your tailored plan before the engagement starts. They come from the Central Security Chauffeurs fleet: the Mercedes S-Class, Rolls-Royce Phantom, Range Rover Long Wheelbase, Mercedes G-Class, Mercedes V-Class and Mercedes E-Class, used on their own or in combination.

How discreet is the VIP Package team?

Discretion is central to the VIP Package. Central Security Chauffeurs personnel are trained to handle every situation with professionalism and discretion, and client names are never disclosed. Because one coordinated team delivers every service, fewer people need to know your movements, your bookings or the details of your home than if several separate companies were involved.

How are late requests and emergencies handled on the VIP Package?

VIP Package clients have 24-hour concierge and 24-hour emergency response from Central Security Chauffeurs, so a late request or an urgent problem in the early hours can be raised with the team at any time. The telephone line, +44 (0)20 3355 6629, is open 24 hours a day, and you can also send a WhatsApp message to +44 7402 505507.

Does the VIP Package include help with bookings and events?

The 24-hour concierge within the VIP Package can book restaurants, sold-out shows and hospitality events, as well as flights and accommodation. Central Security Chauffeurs also draws on local expertise and relationships that give clients access to events and locations across London. Your protection and transport are then planned around each booking by the same team that made it.

A VIP Security Package in London, Run by One Team

What does the VIP Package include?

The VIP Package includes close protection, a security chauffeur, 24-hour concierge, home patrol, 24-hour emergency response and staff sourcing, run by one team as a single engagement. Several are also available as separate services, but here they are organised around your schedule.

Close protection. Fully trained, experienced and government-accredited personnel stay with you for business, social and day-to-day activities. Good close protection is mostly quiet preparation: planning movements, thinking ahead about the places you visit and keeping a low profile while you get on with your day. Read more about close protection in London.
Chauffeur service. Your security chauffeur holds an SIA close protection licence and has strong local knowledge, so the person driving you is also part of your protection. Vehicles come from the Central Security Chauffeurs fleet, which includes the Mercedes S-Class, Rolls-Royce Phantom and Range Rover Long Wheelbase.
24-hour concierge. Restaurant reservations, tickets for sold-out shows, hospitality events, flights and accommodation, handled by the same team that plans your security. See how the concierge service works on its own.
Home patrol. Regular security checks of your home, so the property is looked after whether you are in residence, at work or away. For fuller cover while you travel, see residential security.
24-hour emergency response. A line you can call at any hour, as part of the same plan that covers your protection, vehicles and home.
Staff sourcing. Help finding qualified personnel for your security and transport needs, so new people fit into arrangements that are already working.

Why choose one coordinated team over separate providers?

One team gives you one number to call, 24 hours a day, and one shared plan. When protection, driving, concierge and home security come from different companies, each works from its own information, and the gaps between them are where problems tend to appear.

With the VIP Package, the people protecting you, driving you, booking your evening and checking your home all work from the same schedule. A late change to a dinner reservation can be planned around by the people driving and protecting you. A booking is made with your security arrangements in mind. If something needs attention at home while you are out, the response is part of the same plan.

	One coordinated team	Several separate providers
Who you call	One 24-hour number	A different number per provider
Plan	Shared across every service	Separate plans that may not match
Schedule changes	Shared within one team	Relayed by you, provider by provider
Your private details	Held by one team	Shared with several companies
Urgent problems	Handled by people who know your plan	Handled by whoever you reach first

Fewer handovers also mean fewer people who need to know your movements, which matters when discretion is the point. Central Security Chauffeurs personnel are trained to handle every situation with professionalism and discretion, and client names are never disclosed.

Who is the VIP Package for?

VIP protection works best when it is planned as one service. The package suits anyone whose security, travel and daily arrangements are closely linked and who would rather manage them through one relationship. Central Security Chauffeurs has provided close protection to state officials, public figures, corporate executives and private individuals, for social, business and day-to-day activities.

It tends to fit well if you:

Already use separate firms for driving, security and bookings, and want them under one plan
Keep a full calendar in London that often changes at short notice
Spend time away and want your home checked regularly while you are gone
Need help recruiting qualified security or transport staff
Value discretion as much as protection

The team’s local expertise and relationships also help you gain access to events and locations across the city. Behind that sits more than 25 years of providing a professional corporate chauffeur service to notable personalities on the international business stage and to corporate clients.

Who will be protecting you?

Every security chauffeur holds a government-accredited close protection licence, and every close protection officer is fully trained, experienced and government accredited. Your safety and security are the first priority in every plan.

In the UK, close protection carried out under contract is a licensed activity regulated by the Security Industry Authority (SIA). To gain a close protection licence, a person must pass identity and criminality checks and complete accredited training. The SIA keeps a public register of licence holders, so the standard is one you can check for yourself.

How is a VIP security package scoped and quoted?

Every VIP Package is scoped around you and quoted individually after a confidential consultation. There are no published prices, because no two schedules, risk profiles or homes are the same.

The consultation covers:

Your schedule and how often it changes
Your risk profile and any particular concerns
The personnel and vehicles your days require
Your home and how often it should be checked
The concierge and staffing support you expect

The quote reflects the duration of cover, the personnel involved and the vehicles chosen. Nothing begins until you have seen and confirmed the plan.

How does an engagement work?

An engagement follows a simple sequence, from your first enquiry to your team being in place, and every conversation is confidential.

Enquire. Call, send a WhatsApp message or use the enquiry form on any page.
Consultation. A confidential conversation about your schedule, risk profile and needs.
Tailored plan. Personnel, vehicles and routes are set out and confirmed with you.
Team in place. Your team is in place and the package begins.

Start with a confidential conversation

The simplest first step is to contact Central Security Chauffeurs and describe what you need. The telephone line, +44 (0)20 3355 6629, is open 24 hours, and you can also reach the team on WhatsApp at +44 7402 505507.

If you mainly need a driver who is also trained to protect you, the security chauffeuring service may be the right place to begin, with the option to discuss the full VIP Package later.
