Cologne
Your time belongs to you — not to the Cologne ring road
The Rhine divides Cologne, and the bridges are the bottleneck. Anyone going from the city centre to Deutz depends on a handful of crossings that seize up at the wrong times of day. During the big trade fairs the traffic around the grounds comes to a halt, at carnival parts of the centre are closed for days, and space to park in the old town stays scarce and costs money.
Your driver decides, according to the time of day, which crossing is the quicker one.
Zoobrücke Hohenzollernbrücke Deutzer Brücke Severinsbrücke
What that means for your journey
- Dropped off and collected right at the entrance
- No hunting for a parking space around the cathedral, the old town and the Belgisches Viertel
- The route is chosen by someone who drives those bridges every day
- A set collection time instead of waiting at the kerb
- The time in the car stays usable, for work or for quiet
Services
These are the journeys Driversline takes on in Cologne
At the centre stands the vehicle and its driver, booked for one route, one day or a whole event. What the assignment looks like depends on the occasion. A board appointment calls for something different from a trade fair team or a delegation landing in the evening. How Driversline works in general is set out on the nationwide pages for the Services, the Chauffeur Service and the Airport Transfer.
Airport Transfer
Collection at your address, help with the luggage and a vehicle standing ready at the time booked. On arrivals the driver waits in the arrivals hall.
- A greeting in the arrivals hall
- Help with luggage from the terminal to the car
- The vehicle stands ready at the time booked

At an event, people rarely move one at a time. Guests arrive at different times, the programme shifts, and in the evening everyone wants to get back to the hotel at once. A shuttle solves that: several vehicles run at set intervals between two or three points instead of being called up individually.
Typical runs in Cologne go between hotel and Koelnmesse, between the central station and the venue, or between several sites during a company programme. The intervals follow your run sheet and can be adjusted at short notice if an item takes longer than planned.
- Set intervals, or on call as needed
- Several vehicle classes can be combined, from the sedan to the coach
- One contact for the whole event
- Adjustments possible while it is running
-
Past a certain group size, splitting across several sedans becomes impractical. Coordination costs time, the cars arrive at staggered intervals, and nothing can be discussed together on the way. A coach settles all of that at once, and the group stays together from start to finish.
For smaller groups the VIP Sprinter suits well, keeping the character of a premium vehicle despite the higher number of seats. For larger groups the midibus and the coach come in, for company outings, conferences and trade fair teams. Coach and sedan are often combined when the leadership travels separately.
- VIP Sprinter for smaller groups with higher expectations
- Midibus and coach for larger numbers
- Combined with sedans for leadership and guests
- Our own drivers; no hire without a driver

Cologne fills up abruptly on certain dates. The Koelnmesse, the Lanxess Arena and the Congress-Centrum bring exhibitors, delegations and audiences in large numbers, and that is exactly when mobility becomes the bottleneck. Preparation decides it: settle the pick-up points, the time windows and the number of vehicles beforehand, and no questions are left open on the day.
Planning is done together in advance, with a schedule that maps arrival times, locations and numbers of people. During the event one contact stays reachable, so that short-notice changes do not land on your desk. For looking after artists and VIPs, additional arrangements apply on discretion and pick-up points.
- A transport concept for exhibitors, guests and speakers
- Collection at the station, the airport and hotels
- Artist and VIP support by separate arrangement
- One dedicated contact throughout the event

Hiring a Maybach in Cologne
A particular model can be reserved firmly in Cologne weeks in advance. For the wedding, the company anniversary, the evening with invited guests, that means: the Maybach pulls up, the door opens and you get in.
View the MaybachThe right vehicle makes a difference
Whether one person with a briefcase, a delegation of four with suitcases or a trade fair team of twelve — the vehicle class decides the room in the back, and whether it is possible to work on a laptop on the way. Just tell us the occasion and the number of passengers when you ask, and we suggest the right model. A change is possible until shortly before the journey, as long as the vehicle you want is free.
- The number of passengers and how much luggage
- Whether the back seat is for working or for resting
- The occasion, and how you want to arrive
- The length of the route
- The drivetrain, if sustainability matters to you
What awaits you in the back
What differs most between the classes is the space in the back. These photographs show what you will be sitting on with the Driversline car service.
The differences begin with the seat and do not end at legroom: whether individual seats or a bench, how far the backrest reclines and whether a centre console sits between the places all decide how a longer journey passes.
-
The back of the sedan Quilted leather, its own centre console, a control screen within reach. -
Getting in The rear door open, a light interior, a panoramic roof above the seat. -
In the van Individual seats instead of a bench, so that groups travel with space between them.
