Security driving from BPS comes as part of a close protection package. You are engaging close protection operatives who drive as part of their duty.
Driving as part of your close protection package
Where a client needs moving, the vehicle and driver form part of the close protection package. The driving is a byproduct of the deployment: the operative at the wheel is there to protect you, and is trained in convoy, evasive and defensive driving.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about security driving
If there is anything we have not covered, or you would like to talk about any part of security driving, simply contact us.
Ask us a questionWhat is security driving?
A standard chauffeur focuses on a comfortable, punctual ride. A security driver is trained to handle risk, from route planning and convoy, evasive and defensive driving to detecting and mitigating threats. Security driving puts the client's safety first, combining advanced driving with security awareness.
Is security driving different to protection driving, close protection driving or security chauffeuring?
They are different names for the same service. Different companies and countries use different terms, but all of them cover the same skills and training.
Can I book a security driver on their own?
No. Security driving is provided as part of a close protection package, not as a standalone driver. Our protection drivers are experienced London drivers, and London is where most of our driving takes place.
What vehicles do you have?
We have an in-house pool of Range Rovers and Mercedes Jet Class and V-Class vehicles, and a strategic partnership with an ex-forces run hire company through which we can source any other vehicle you choose.
How are your security drivers trained?
Our drivers train in convoy, evasive and defensive driving in central London and across the UK, and routes are planned and adjusted using live intelligence from our operations team. We also run the convoy, evasive and defensive driving course for close protection operatives.
Do you provide security driving using multiple vehicles?
Yes. We provide convoy and multi-vehicle security driving for clients who need additional security or who travel in larger groups, coordinating the vehicles to give cohesive, secure transport on any route, in any country.
