We operate an executive fleet of Mercedes-Benz E-Class, S-Class, and V-Class vehicles fitted with all-weather alpine safety systems. The Mercedes V-Class seats up to 7 passengers with abundant space for corporate luggage, shopping bags from FoxTown, or sporting gear.

"Milan Fashion Week is total chaos"

Milan Fashion Week is total chaos! Since everyone is trying to get around at the exact same time, catching a taxi is practically impossible. Booking a private driver for the week was the absolute best decision we made—it saved us so many times. Would 100% do it again

"Milan Shopping & Lake Como Dinner"

We had planned to only hire the car for a shopping day in Milan, but the day was far nicer than we had expected. We walked around Via Montenapoleone and decided to go for dinner in Lake Como. Our driver offered a couple of great places on the way where we could stop. All things came out right!

The transfer experience with Dorogo couldn't have been better. From pickup until dropoff at the airport, Dorogo allowed for us to have a stressless experience for our wedding weekend in Milan.

"Direct & Easy Courchevel Transfer"

To be honest, we were hesitant about taking a private transfer instead of the train, but after our trip to Courchevel, we realized it was worth it. It's a long way, but it's direct and easy to get around at your own pace.

"Flexible All-Day Chauffeur in Milan"

My girlfriend and I had meetings to attend and also wanted to go around the city and do some shopping. Rather than dividing and sharing taxis, the same driver we hired all day drove us. When we changed our plans, we just messaged the driver and he made the necessary changes.

"Direct Milan to Nice Transfer"

Initially we planned to take the train from Milan to Nice, but with all the necessary changes it would have taken up most of the day. So we booked a private transfer instead, and honestly, it turned out to be by far the best choice.
