Request a chauffeur-driven, class-leading car on-demand or in advance for yourself or on behalf of others. "...a bespoke five star service for when Uber just won't cut it." British GQ “Wheely - a personalised chauffeur service that's more inconspicuous than a cab (definite cool points) and way less gauche than a limo, but just as luxurious.” ELLE UK “I tried Uber’s luxurious London competitor Wheely, and it made me think it's possible for money to buy happiness”. Business Insider UK CLASS-LEADING VEHICLES Settle back and relax in the quiet comfort of a discreetly coloured, impeccably maintained Mercedes-Benz E, S or V-Class - none over three years old. PROFESSIONAL CHAUFFEURS All Wheely chauffeurs are highly experienced and rigorously tested on local geography and driver etiquette. Trust them to get you there effortlessly and in class-leading comfort. PERSONALISED JOURNEYS Every journey is tailored to your tastes: music, temperature, route… your chauffeur will be happy to comply. You can even stream your favourite music from your phone. ON-DEMAND OR IN ADVANCE Wheely represents the next level of on-demand transportation. Download the app to request a car for immediate pick up, or schedule your journey in advance. BOOK FOR OTHERS The app allows you to request a chauffeur for yourself or on behalf of other passengers. RELIABLE AIRPORT TRANSFERS Fixed fares to and from local airports, with a ‘Meet & Greet’ service with name boards for arrivals. Business class now extends all the way to your final destination. 24/7 SUPPORT Our Support Team is always on hand to offer any help you need in-app or on the phone. THREE SERVICE LEVELS Business is our standard service that is anything but standard. First offers even higher levels of comfort. XL is ideal when you need space for more passengers, luggage, or both. APPEARANCES MATTER All chauffeurs take as much pride in their appearance as in their vehicles. For them, there is no such thing as a passenger running late: waiting as long as required is simply part of the job. BUSINESS ACCOUNTS Meeting a client at the airport, taking staff to a meeting, transporting delegates to an event… Wheely is reliable, flexible, and efficient, eliminating the time wasted on expense claims. Available in London, 
New York, Paris and Dubai.
