Describe your journey

One fixed contact gets back to you by phone or email and stays with the journey from the request to the arrival.
The Route
Straight from door to door between two cities
You get in at the address you choose and out again at your destination, with no change at a station and no waiting on a platform. What that gives you is an unbroken block of time to use as you wish. The journey follows your schedule, not a timetable.
- Prepare for a meeting, or make your calls in peace
- Read into your papers while the luggage stays in the boot and nobody reads over your shoulder
- Sleep through the first hour and start the day in Berlin rested
Driversline drives the route between Hamburg and Berlin as a private transfer with its own chauffeur. The 290 or so kilometres take about three hours, with collection at the address you choose and no changes on the way.
Your schedule is the timetable.
Both Ways
The other way round too: from Berlin to Hamburg
The route is booked just as often the other way. Customers in Berlin are driven to appointments on the Elbe, to the port, into the HafenCity or on northwards. The arrangement is identical: collection at the address you want, one continuous drive, arrival with no stop. The vehicle and the chauffeur are dispatched from wherever your journey begins.
Onward journeys follow without fuss. From Hamburg you can go on to Kiel, Bremen, Lübeck or the islands; from Berlin towards Leipzig, Dresden or Potsdam. You stay in the same car and keep the same contact in dispatch, even when the route stretches across several days.
Typical cases
Occasions where the journey pays off most
The route is booked for very different situations, and each makes its own demands on the timing and the vehicle. A board meeting in the morning takes different planning from a family visit at the weekend or the drive home after an evening event. These are the occasions that come up most often:
-
A business appointment in Berlin
An early start, arriving rested, back the same evening.
-
Roadshows and delegations
Several stops in one day, coordinated from a single source.
-
Trade fair and congress
Driven straight to the right entrance, with no hunt for parking.
-
A day out in the capital
A museum, the theatre or dinner, with a set time to head back.
-
Connecting to a flight
On from the airport in one city to an address in the other.
-
A family journey with luggage
Everyone in one vehicle, with no separate bookings.
The Cars
Vehicles for the run to Berlin
On a journey of nearly three hours, what counts above all is how much room and quiet the vehicle offers. The choice comprises Mercedes-Benz E-Class and S-Class sedans, the Mercedes-Maybach S-Class for occasions that ask for more, and the Mercedes-Benz V-Class, which can be fitted with conference seating if you wish. When several people travel with luggage, the VIP Sprinter comes in.
Electric is possible too. With the BMW i7 and the all-electric Mercedes-Benz VLE you cover the route with no emissions, which is of particular interest to companies with a sustainability strategy of their own. Which model fits in a given case depends on the number of passengers, the luggage and the occasion. Dispatch suggests a suitable class when you ask.

Day Trip
There and back in one day
Many journeys can be planned as a day trip. Your chauffeur takes you to Berlin in the morning, stays available nearby during your appointment and drives you back in the evening.
- No overnight stay needed, and no risk of missing the last train
- The time of the return can usually be changed on the spot; alternatively the journey ends in Berlin and the way back is dispatched separately
- Waiting time during your stay is in the quote beforehand, not on the invoice afterwards
Your Chauffeur
Who takes you the long way
On a route this long, the way of driving makes the difference. You should be able to work or sleep in the back without being shaken about.
- Anticipatory driving, a steady speed, calm changes of lane
- Knowledge of the route: roadworks, the usual jams and the alternatives are known before they become a problem
- Conversations in the car stay in the car
- A multilingual chauffeur handles the welcome and the communication on the spot
Driversline chauffeurs hold the passenger transport licence required by German law and bring years of experience.
