About Us
We Are PrivateDrive
Two brothers, a chauffeur and a designer,
who rebuilt private transport in Paris
around one promise: nothing left to chance.
Our Story
Born from ten years on the road
For more than ten years, Tarek drove Paris. He learned the city the way only a chauffeur can: the shortcut that saves a flight, the exact door where a tired traveler appears, the silence a client wants after a long haul and the word another one needs. And ride after ride, he saw everything the trade got wrong. So when his brother Adil, an engineer and service designer, asked him what a flawless transfer should feel like, the answer was already there. It only had to be built.
They built it from scratch, in Paris, at the start of 2026. No agency, no investors, no template. Adil designed and coded the entire platform himself, hand in hand with Claude Code and AI, so that a service usually run by twenty people could be run by two, and run better. Every screen, every message, every minute of the journey was refined until nothing was left to chance. What remains behaves like a great concierge: precise, discreet, already three steps ahead. You never see the work. You only feel the ease.
The Founders
Two brothers, one standard
PrivateDrive is run by the two people who built it, and that is the whole point. No call center, no outsourced desk, no layer between you and the people responsible for your ride. When you reach out, you reach them. The closeness of a family business, with the precision of a designed one.
Tarek Mhira
Founder & Lead Chauffeur
Ten years at the wheel in Paris taught Tarek what no manual can: great service is felt, never announced. He knows the city to the minute, reads a traveler in a glance, and holds every chauffeur in the network to the standard he keeps for himself. He is the reason a PrivateDrive ride feels effortless.
Adil Mhira
Co-founder & Service Designer
An engineer and service designer who has founded companies and led teams of developers and designers. For PrivateDrive he chose to build everything himself, with Claude Code and AI as his atelier, reaching in months what once took a studio of twenty. He earned a professional VTC license to understand the road from the inside. The obsession with detail is his.
A network of chauffeurs, chosen one by one
PrivateDrive runs on a network of independent, licensed chauffeurs, each chosen by Tarek against the only benchmark that matters: the standard he has kept for a decade. But selection is only the start. The platform was designed for the chauffeur as much as the passenger, clear briefs, fair treatment, the right information at the right moment, because a chauffeur who is respected and prepared gives a ride you can feel. Sedan, van or first class, you are never booking a car from an anonymous pool. You reach a chosen circle, coordinated by the two people who answer when you call.

Book your chauffeurOur editorial approach
Guides signed PrivateDrive are team content. The byline does not mean that a founder personally wrote or approved every article.
Documented revisions identify the official references consulted, the date and the facts checked. Schedules, terminal assignments and access rules can change: check the operator’s information for your journey.
PrivateDrive starting prices follow the website’s pricing configuration. The quote for your date, itinerary, vehicle and options specifies the booking amount. Competitor comparisons retain their observation date.
