Chauffeur service in Stourbridge, DY8 to Wollaston and the Clent Hills

A meet is a person inside the Birmingham building holding a board for Stourbridge. That is the entire definition of a Stourbridge meet, and it is why the chauffeur parks properly rather than holding on a forecourt at Birmingham hoping to be waved through.

The last thirty seconds are the ones people remember: cases at the door in Stourbridge, the car pulling away, nothing left to arrange. That is what the 27 miles along A456 were for.

• Birmingham car park found and paid for before the Stourbridge chauffeur walks in
• Indicative 45-70 minutes back into Stourbridge
• Waiting from touchdown at Birmingham built into the Stourbridge transfer
• Bags taken from the Birmingham trolley to the boot and on to Stourbridge

The arithmetic is simple and people still get it wrong: 45-70 minutes of road, plus the walk from the drop-off, plus the queue at the desk, plus whatever A456 adds on the day. We do that sum before quoting a Stourbridge collection.

On a very early start the streets around Mary Stevens Park are the easiest they will be all day, which is why a five o'clock collection is quoted with more confidence than an afternoon one.

Early collections in Stourbridge are the easy ones. At five in the morning A456 is empty and the car waits directly outside. At half past eight the same Stourbridge address is a different problem, and the plan for it changes accordingly.

From the moment the car leaves Stourbridge, the arrival time is ours to manage. If the arrival at Birmingham moves you hear about it once, with a number attached, rather than in a series of updates sent to you in Stourbridge.

• Luggage loaded at the Stourbridge kerb, doors held, no waiting on the pavement
• The stopping point on A456 agreed before the morning rather than during it
• No meter and no waiting charge on a residential collection in Stourbridge
• Route out of Stourbridge chosen for the hour rather than for the map
