Protocol sets the programme
For a delegation, the programme comes from those who organise it: the host’s protocol office, the embassy or a conference secretariat. We work from that programme without rewriting it: times, places, order of arrival, who travels in each car.
Each car is entrusted to the chosen member operator, which carries out the service under its own responsibility. The chauffeur knows the order of the cars, the drop-off and pick-up points, and whom to call on site; you keep a single point of contact for everything.
Punctuality is prepared
In Doha, a few landmarks matter when keeping to a schedule (Visit Qatar):
- embassies are open from Sunday to Thursday, and closed on Friday and Saturday;
- prayer takes place five times a day, at times that change with the sun; on Fridays, activity stops during Friday prayers, in the late morning;
- during Ramadan, city life resumes after the fast is broken, at sunset.
We do not quote journey times: the pick-up time is set with a margin, from the programme and the time of day. A change of time decided by protocol goes through the same point of contact, who passes it on to the chauffeurs concerned; it remains subject to availability.
International conferences: busy weeks
Two international meetings are announced in Doha before the end of 2026:
- the Plenipotentiary Conference of the International Telecommunication Union (PP-26), the ITU’s highest policy-making body, which brings together the representatives of its Member States from 9 to 27 November 2026;
- the 24th Doha Forum, a platform for dialogue and diplomacy, on 5 and 6 December 2026.
During these weeks, vehicles depend on the members’ availability: an early request leaves more choice. For arrivals, see also chauffeur at Hamad International Airport.
What we need to prepare the quote
Please tell us, even provisionally:
- the programme: dates, times, places;
- the number of cars and passengers, and the order required;
- arrivals and departures: scheduled or private flights, with the airport;
- the contact at the protocol office, embassy or secretariat coordinating the visit;
- the dress expected of the chauffeurs, if any.
Our terms and conditions bind us to absolute discretion, with no time limit, about the identity of the people we drive and their movements. To begin, let us talk about your visit.
