Solving "We have company cars, but no one to drive them."
We assign professional drivers with limousine experience to your vehicle. We clearly organize both the advantages and disadvantages of our "driver dispatch" service, which also handles vehicle operation management and maintenance.
How to assign executive transportation and company car operations, and to whom. Whether to hire drivers in-house, call a limousine each time, or arrange "just the driver"—there are surprisingly many options, making it an easy topic to get lost in. In this article,Driver dispatch service that assigns professional drivers to vehicles owned by customersWe will fairly introduce what it is, its advantages and disadvantages compared to direct hiring and car service (hire), the differences from "operation management contracting" which is often confused with it, and the types of companies it is suitable for. Jumbo-Taxi.com is based in Tokyo and Saitama, and also accepts corporate consultations for driver dispatch and operation management.
What is a chauffeur dispatch service? A service that assigns "only a driver" to your car
As the name implies, driver dispatch isArranging and deploying only drivers, not vehiclesIt is a service where the vehicles used for transportation are company cars or executive cars owned or leased by the clients. Professional drivers with experience in driving hire cars and shuttle services are assigned to those vehicles to handle daily operations.
A system where only personnel are outsourced while the vehicles remain as they are
Since you will continue to use the car you already own, there is no need to prepare a luxury car anew. Depending on the company, in addition to assigning a driver,From managing operation schedules, pre-shift roll call, daily inspections, and interior cleaning, to handling fuel, maintenance, and vehicle inspectionsWe handle everything on your behalf. Our defining feature is our ability to completely bridge the gap when you have a vehicle, but lack the driver and the time to manage it.
It's not just sedans that we can handle
The target is not limited to executive cars (sedans).employee shuttle van, patient transport vehicle, hotel shuttle busetc., and can be operated with a wide range of vehicles with private license plates. For operators that handle large jumbo taxis (maximum 9-passenger class) like JumboTaxi.com, their strength lies in their ability to easily accommodate the operation of large groups and large vehicles.
Difference from hire cars and taxis
Although easily confused, a hire car isA taxi company's vehicle and driver as a set, billed by the hourIt is a pay-as-you-go service, whereas the driver dispatch service iscustomer's car + dispatched driverSuch a combination. If you want to "use a car with sentimental value" or "operate with large vehicles or special specifications," driver dispatch where you can choose the car is suitable. Hired cars have a different advantage in that they require no vehicle management whatsoever and are strong in VIP handling.
Do any of these concerns sound familiar to you?
Troubles around the driver tend to pile up in surprisingly small ways. For example—
Hiring and training are heavy burdens.
Hiring a dedicated driver as a full-time employee involves not only salary, but also bonuses, social insurance, retirement benefits, and even the hassle of hospitality training. If the frequency of pick-ups and drop-offs is not that high, you have to wonder about the cost-effectiveness.
I'm afraid of sudden vacancies
The moment your go-to driver is out due to illness or resignation, the executive's schedule grinds to a halt. Finding a replacement immediately is not easy.
I don't have the time to manage it.
Vehicle inspections, maintenance, car washes, and shift management. Caring for cars beyond driving is a quietly heavy burden for the departments in charge.
If you feel that even just one of these applies directly to you, that problem might be solved by hiring a driver. Below, we will look at how each of these concerns is resolved.
How does it compare to direct employment or hiring?
First, I will compare the whole picture by lining up three options. It's not a matter of which one is right,Which one fits our company's usage?Please try looking at it from that perspective.
| Comparison items | Chauffeur Dispatch | in-house employment | hired cars |
|---|---|---|---|
| Car to use | Customer company cars and executive cars | Customer company cars and executive cars | taxicab company car |
| Time and effort required for recruitment and training | Not required (handled by contractor) | Big | No |
| Personnel expenses and labor management | Consignment fee only | Salary, bonuses, social insurance, and retirement benefits | charge for the duration of use |
| replacement during a vacancy | The contractor arranged | Urgent direct hiring | Arrange another car |
| Fleet management | You can request an agency service. | managed in-house | No |
| Suitable applications | I want to use it almost every day / exclusively | A large corporation with a very high volume of pick-ups and drop-offs | I want to use it occasionally / on a one-off basis |
Point:"I don't want to part with my car, but I want to avoid hiring, training, and managing a driver" – driver dispatching is the solution that bridges this middle ground.
Benefits of driver dispatch services
We will look at how to address each of the "relatable problems" mentioned earlier one by one.
✓ Can reduce labor and recruitment costs
Eliminates the need for salaries, bonuses, social insurance contributions, and retirement benefits associated with hiring regular employees, as well as the hassle of recruitment and training. It directly addresses the pain point of "heavy recruitment and training burdens."
✓ Trained professionals arrive promptly
Professionals who have received hospitality and safe driving training are deployed as immediate assets. Drivers with higher skill levels tend to have lower accident rates, providing peace of mind from a risk management perspective.
✓ Absorbing vacancy risk
Even if the person in charge is absent, the contractor arranges a replacement. The anxiety of "fear of sudden vacancies" can be absorbed without stopping operations.
✓ Comprehensive management including vehicle administration
You can outsource everything from inspections, cleaning, maintenance, and vehicle inspection arrangements to operation schedule management, eliminating the problem of "not having enough time for management."
✓ Flexible short-term and long-term options available
Spot usage is also possible, such as only during busy seasons or for the duration of a specific project. This allows you to avoid carrying fixed labor costs during slow periods.
✓ Cars you are attached to and large vehicles are also OK
The vehicle used belongs to the customer. Even beloved company cars, as well as large or specially equipped vehicles, can be operated as they are.
A list of worries is directly replaced by a list of solutions—this is the concept behind driver dispatch.
There are two forms: dispatch and operation management contract.
Here is an important point that is often overlooked in many articles. When it comes to outsourcing drivers, broadly speaking,Dispatchandoperation management contractingThere are two, andWhether you can give instructions to the driveris decisively different. JumboTaxi.com supports both of these.
| Comparison items | Chauffeur Dispatch | Operation Management Contracting |
|---|---|---|
| Command and control (instructions) | The client can give direct instructions. | The contractor (business operator) gives instructions. |
| Labor management | Temporary staffing agency in charge | The contractor handles everything |
| Degree of management outsourcing | Operation leadership leans toward our company | Outsource operation and management entirely |
| company that is a good fit | I want to give detailed instructions in-house. | I want to let go of all the chores and burdens to feel light and free. |
If you want to give instructions yourselves, it's "Haken" (Temporary staffing).
the destination and arrangements for that day,I want to direct the drivers myself within our company.Then temp staffing is a better fit. The driver is expected to operate under our company's direct supervision.
If you want to leave everything to us, choose "Operation Management Outsourcing".
Everything from driver arrangement, training, and management, to pre-shift roll call, operation planning, initial response in the event of an accident, and serving as the contact point for insurance procedures.I want to leave everything to the contractor.Then contracting is a better fit. You can consult with them even for just one executive vehicle and one driver, and the appeal lies in being able to stay nimble.
Notice:Even though it is a contracting agreement, if the client gives direct work instructions to the driver, it may constitute "sham contracting" and become an issue under the Worker Dispatching Act. It is safest to consult with a knowledgeable service provider to determine which arrangement best suits your company.
Disadvantages and points to keep in mind you should know
Of course, it's not all good things.Weaknesses to know before implementationI will be completely honest with you. Keeping this in mind when making your choice will result in higher satisfaction in the end.
There may be differences in the quality of service.
There may be variations in driving manners and service quality depending on the business operator or the person in charge. Having a different driver every time also makes it cumbersome to explain tasks each time. It is reassuring to check their track record and training system in advance.
The higher the expertise, the higher the cost.
The higher the level of expertise required, such as for early morning/late night, long distance, or executive transport, the more expensive the fees tend to be. One-off (spot) services also tend to be relatively more expensive than ongoing contracts.
It's hard to ask for tasks outside the contract.
Since the scope of work is determined by the contract, tasks other than driving—such as loading and unloading cargo or organizing documents—cannot, as a rule, be requested. In the case of contracting (outsourcing), it is also necessary to keep in mind that direct instructions cannot be given by the client.
Care must be taken when handling confidential information.
Executive chauffeuring sometimes involves exposure to internal conversations and information. It is important to choose a company that has solid arrangements for confidentiality obligations and compliance training.
Fun fact:Even if you want to request a vehicle as well, it is considered illegal "ridesharing" (white-plate taxi operation) for the business to lease a car and provide it as a complete package. The correct approach is for the customer to contract directly with a leasing company for the vehicle. Whether a business complies with this rule also serves as a yardstick for identifying a reliable partner.
Suitable Companies and Unsuitable Companies
To be fair, driver dispatch is not the best fit for every company.clarify what one is suited or not suited forYou can make a more efficient choice.
Companies like this are a good fit
executive cars or company carsI want to have them work almost every day exclusively.However, if you want to avoid driver recruitment, training, labor management, and vehicle maintenance, this is the right choice for your company. It is also a good fit for companies with a scale where "the frequency of operation is high, but not high enough to warrant hiring a full-time regular employee." It is also suitable for companies that want to outsource the operation of multiple vehicles and large groups of people all at once, such as for employee or hotel shuttles.
There are also cases where it is not suitable.
Conversely, if transportation is extremely rare, occurring only a few times a year, calling a hire car or taxi each time can sometimes be more cost-effective. Conversely, for large enterprises with a massive amount of transportation operations that constantly employ multiple drivers, in-house hiring may sometimes be easier to manage."How often will we use this?"When you try applying it like that, the answer becomes clear.
