Ride-hailing driver cover letter example

Chauffeur companies and premium clients want to know if you can be trusted with their passengers. Your letter should confirm that your card is valid, show how you handle punctuality and discretion, and mention languages and vehicle.

Keep the tone as polished as the service you offer.

Cover letter example

Replace the parts in brackets with your own details.

Subject: Application: VTC Driver (Chauffeur VTC), [Company], [City]

Dear [Recruiter's Name],

I would like to join your team of chauffeurs. I have held my VTC professional card since [date] and a licence B for [x] years, and for the past three years I have worked as a self-employed driver in [City], mainly on airport transfers and rides for business travellers.

I check flight status before each airport pickup and wait in the arrivals hall with a name sign when the client asks for it. With business passengers, I keep conversation to a minimum unless they start it and I never discuss what I hear during a ride. Several hotel concierges now book me directly for their guests because they know the car will be on time and clean.

I speak English fluently and get by in Italian, which helps with your international clientele. I would be glad to drive your fleet vehicles and to work the early morning and evening slots that airport transfers require.

I am available for an interview and a driving assessment at your convenience.

Yours sincerely,[First Name Last Name]

Frequently asked questions

Should I mention my platform rating in the letter?

You can, in one line, if it is high and recent. Premium companies care more about examples of service and reliability than about a number. Be ready to show it in interview if you mention it.

Do I need my own car to work for a chauffeur company?

Not always. Some companies provide vehicles to salaried drivers, while others work with self-employed drivers who own a car meeting VTC requirements. Read the ad and say clearly in your letter which situation fits you.

Can I apply while still preparing the VTC exam?

You can contact companies to show interest, but they cannot let you drive passengers before you hold the card. Say when your exam is scheduled and ask whether you can apply again once you have it. Some offer roles as dispatcher in the meantime.
