Award-winning nationwide shared chauffeur service
When you choose a Saga holiday, we want you to have a hassle-free experience from start to finish. That’s why we add those extra special touches, so from the minute you leave home, you can relax knowing that every part of your trip has been taken care of.
We call it our nationwide return shared chauffeur service (previously known as the VIP door-to-door service) – and it’s included on every one of our escorted holidays.

A warm welcome
Our award-winning nationwide return shared chauffeur service involves one of our friendly chauffeurs picking you up from home, or a chosen address - from anywhere on the UK mainland and taking you to the airport, port or UK hotel. Depending on where you live, our pick up also includes a home transfer and flight from your local airport to London*.
A safe return
Once your holiday has ended, our chauffeur will be waiting to take you back home.
Enhanced travel option
We also offer an enhanced travel option, which includes a stay at a hotel near major UK airports, such as London Heathrow or Gatwick, with the added benefit of our nationwide return shared chauffeur service. This means a chauffeur will pick you up from your home, take you to the hotel, and then on to your departure point the next morning. The service is ideal for early flights or long journeys to the airport. You can also opt for the service at the end of your holiday if you have a late arrival, allowing you to rest and travel home the following day.
Included on every escorted holiday
We include our nationwide return shared chauffeur service on every single escorted tour, and we don’t charge extra for solo travellers. If you book a hotel stay, we’d be happy to arrange our chauffeur at a reasonable price. Just speak to one of our friendly travel advisors for more information.
