Security Driver Istanbul
We provide a security driver in Istanbul on request. There is no standard package and no published price, because every visit carries different requirements. Your security lead or assistant tells us what the visit needs, and we confirm in writing what can be provided, by whom and at what rate, before anything is booked.
What Is a Security Driver?
In this page's plain sense, a security driver is a driver chosen and briefed for a visit where the person in the back seat, the route or the schedule needs more care than usual. The job is to be predictable to your team and unpredictable to nobody else: on time, on the agreed route, and not sharing the programme with anyone.
The term means different things to different companies. For some it is a discreet, well-vetted driver who follows a route agreed with their own security staff. For others it means something more, which may need a separate licensed provider. That is why the first step is a conversation, not a price list.
What Do We Confirm in Writing?
- Who will drive: the driver's name and the vehicle's plate, before the day
- Which vehicle will be used, and whether a second vehicle is available
- How the route and the timings will be agreed, and with whom
- Who at our desk holds the programme, and who does not
- The rate for the visit, including waiting and any out-of-town time
- What we cannot provide, stated just as clearly
What Does This Page Not Promise?
We do not advertise armed protection, armoured vehicles or security certificates on this website, and you should not read any of those into the words "security driver". In Türkiye, private security is a licensed activity under Law No. 5188, and any provider of it should be able to show you the licence.
If your risk assessment calls for close protection officers, tell us at the start. We will say plainly whether that is something we can arrange, and our guide to the difference may help your team frame the question.
Which Standards Apply to Every Driver?
A security driver comes from the same employed team as all our drivers, so the baseline is one you can already check: at least five years of professional passenger driving, an SRC certificate, a psychotechnical report, a clean criminal record check and a salaried contract. Our drivers page sets this out in full.
How Do I Make a Request?
Send the dates, the number of people and the general shape of the visit by WhatsApp or by email to the desk. You do not need to send names or a full itinerary at the first step. Companies that want confidentiality in place first can sign an undertaking at account level. For a list of what to prepare, see our questions for your team.
Common Questions
Is the Security Driver Armed?
This website makes no such offer. Tell us what your visit requires, and we will confirm in writing what can and cannot be provided.
How Much Notice Do You Need?
As much as you can give. A request for the same week is worth sending, but a named driver and an agreed route take time to arrange properly, so the earlier the better.
Can We Use Our Own Security Staff in the Car?
Yes. Tell us how many people will travel and where they will sit, and we will suggest a suitable vehicle. Your driver will follow the route your team agrees with the desk.
Will You Keep the Visit Confidential?
We use your details only to carry out the booking, and we share the programme only with the people who run it. Confidentiality undertakings can be signed at account level.
