What is an empty leg?

After a job, our vehicles often return without a passenger – for example, after a transfer from Frankfurt to Paris, the journey back to Frankfurt. We offer you these return journeys as empty legs at a fixed price, well below the regular fare.

Is the service the same as with a normal booking?

Yes. You travel with a professional chauffeur in a well-kept premium vehicle of the category booked. Discretion, punctuality and service are identical to any other ComfortCars journey.

Why is there a time window for the pick-up?

The empty leg depends on a previous job. Within the stated time window, you choose your pick-up time in 15-minute steps. This time is then binding.

Can I change the starting point or destination?

The route is fixed. Small deviations within the same city are often possible by arrangement. For other routes, please use our regular booking.

How short-notice can I book?

Empty legs can be booked online up to 3 hours before pick-up. New journeys are often added only a few days in advance, so the preferred-route alert is well worth it.

Can I bring luggage or a child seat?

Luggage in the usual amount is included in the fixed price. We are happy to provide a child seat: just give us a quick call or write to us after booking and we will arrange it for your journey.

You pay online when booking via a secure payment link. All prices include 19 % VAT. For corporate clients, we issue an invoice on request.

How much does a chauffeur cost in Düsseldorf?

You pay a fixed price based on distance or duration and vehicle class. Our online booking shows the price instantly. For companies, events and multiple rides we are happy to prepare an individual quote.

How long does the chauffeur wait at the airport?

Airport pick-ups include 60 minutes of waiting time. Your chauffeur meets you with a name sign right after baggage claim. You receive your driver's name, licence plate and contact details the day before the ride.

Can I cancel free of charge?

Yes, cancellation is free of charge up to 24 hours before pickup. For transfers, the following charges apply after that: 25 % of the fare between 24 and 6 hours before pickup, 50 % between 6 and 2 hours before, and 100 % less than 2 hours before pickup. Hourly bookings can be cancelled free of charge up to 24 hours in advance; after that, the full price is due.

How short-notice can I book?

Subject to availability, also at short notice – fastest by phone. As a licensed private hire company with chauffeurs, we operate exclusively on advance booking and always at the price agreed beforehand.

Do you offer company accounts?

Yes. Following your enquiry, we register your company with us and set up the company account. Your employees or office team then book journeys themselves and manage all bookings in one place. Billing is conveniently by invoice. Simply request it via our enquiry form.

Can I pay by invoice?

Yes, for corporate and private clients. You can also pay by credit card via a payment link, by PayPal or directly to the driver.

Are child seats available?

Yes. Baby seat €3.50, child seat up to 3 years and child seat 3–6 years €4.00 each, booster seat free of charge. Simply state your child’s age or weight when booking and we will bring the right seat.

Do you also drive outside Düsseldorf?

The costs of the trip are already largely covered. That's why you only pay a fraction of the normal price, without compromising on the vehicle, the driver or the service.
