About Us
Changing the Travel Game
Privyer has reinvented ride services by connecting travelers with a global crew of professional chauffeurs, and we’re not stopping there. Our vision of the future of travel is seamless, sustainable, and ethical. Join us on our journey to make top-quality service convenient and accessible worldwide.
Over a Decade of Travel Innovation
Founded in 2011 by Jens Wohltorf and Frank Steuer, Privyer created a smarter way to book and manage rides — something affordable, reliable, and efficient. Since then, Privyer has grown from a two-person operation in Germany to an international, award-winning crew of over 300 people with hubs in Singapore, Spain, the U.A.E., the U.K., and the U.S.
How Privyer Works
We work with independent local chauffeur service providers around the world, and through our tech, allow global travelers to book rides with them. We do not provide, own, or control any of the rides offered by these providers, but rather facilitate them. Prices are calculated based on factors including vehicle class, distance, and drive time, and our margin comes from selling those rides to independent local chauffeur service providers, typically via our auction interface where they can choose the rides that best fit them. This approach empowers local businesses and ensures travelers have access to a wide array of transportation options.
By prioritizing quality and flexibility, Privyer delivers a truly personalized travel experience.
