Ride-hailing driver resume example

A chauffeur VTC (voiture de transport avec chauffeur) drives passengers who have booked in advance, through an app, a hotel concierge or a company account.

Unlike taxis, VTC drivers cannot pick up people who hail them in the street or wait at taxi ranks, so every ride must be pre-booked. A typical shift alternates between waiting near busy areas, accepting requests, driving to the pickup point and taking the passenger to destination by the route they prefer. Airport and train station transfers, late-night rides and business travel make up much of the activity. Between rides you keep the car clean, check fuel or battery, and manage your ratings and income. Most VTC drivers are self-employed and handle their own accounting, insurance and vehicle costs; others are employees of chauffeur companies serving hotels and corporate clients.

Tips

  • Show your VTC card number and expiry date, or at least the date you obtained it.
  • Mention the languages you speak, as international passengers matter for premium companies.
  • Describe your vehicle if you own one: category, hybrid or electric, age.
  • Give your rating on platforms only if it is genuinely good and current.
  • Mention your knowledge of airports, stations and event venues.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Applying without a VTC card, which makes the application impossible to accept.
  • Hiding self-employed periods instead of presenting them as experience.
  • Forgetting to mention the licence date, which matters for insurers.
  • Listing taxi experience without explaining the difference in rules.

Working as a ride-hailing driver in France

Chauffeur VTC is a regulated activity in France. You need the VTC professional card issued by the prefecture after an exam organised by the chambres de métiers et de l'artisanat, a licence B held for at least three years (two after accompanied driving), a clean criminal record, a recent PSC1 first aid certificate and a medical check by an approved doctor. The card is renewed every five years after continuing training. Vehicles must meet size and age rules and be registered in the VTC register, and pickups must be pre-booked. Search for « chauffeur VTC », « chauffeur privé » or « chauffeur de direction ».

Frequently asked questions

Can I work as a VTC driver with only a driving licence?

No. In France you need the VTC professional card issued by the prefecture. To get it, you pass an exam organised by the chambres de métiers et de l'artisanat, hold a licence B for at least three years (two after accompanied driving), have a clean criminal record, a recent first aid certificate and a medical fitness check.

Is the VTC exam in French?

Yes. The exam includes written tests on regulations, safety, business management, French and English, then a practical driving test with a passenger scenario. A good level of written French is needed. Many candidates prepare with a training centre, which is not compulsory.

Should a self-employed driver write a resume?

Yes, if you want to work for chauffeur companies, hotels or corporate clients. Platforms do not ask for one, but premium companies select drivers on presentation, languages and experience. A one-page resume with your card, vehicle and client types is enough.
