Private Family Driver in Tuscany
A vetted driver for your family, for a season or full time, in Florence, Forte dei Marmi and across Tuscany.
A family driver is a member of your household, not a one-off transfer: the same person every morning, who knows the school gate, the routine and the roads. We find that person for families in Florence, Forte dei Marmi and across Tuscany, for a summer season, a school year or full time, and we set the job up properly, because employing a driver in Italy is regulated work with a written contract and social contributions. You tell us the schedule, the languages you need at home and whether the driver will use your own car or a vehicle we arrange. We search our Tuscan pool and the local market, take up references and check the driving record and background, then present only candidates who genuinely fit. An Italian labour consultant (consulente del lavoro) handles the contract and the payslips, and one person here stays your contact throughout.
What We Take Care Of
Search and Selection
We search our vetted Tuscan pool and the local market against your brief: hours, routes, languages, children, and whether the driver uses your car or one we arrange.
School Runs and Children
Drivers who are at ease with children: correct child seats, a fixed morning routine, sport and activity pick-ups, and a calm hand-over to the nanny or to you.
Vetting and Discretion
References taken up in person, identity and driving record verified, background screening within the law, and an NDA whenever the family wants one.
Seasonal or Year-Round
A family chauffeur in Florence for the school year, a driver for the Versilia summer, or a permanent position in the household. Holiday and sick-day cover comes from the same pool.
Languages and Etiquette
Drivers who speak Russian, Italian, English or German, with the manners a private household expects: punctual, quiet, present only when needed.
Contract, Payroll and Trial
Employment in Italy is regulated: a written domestic-work contract, INPS contributions paid quarterly, paid holidays and severance. We coordinate it with a labour consultant.
Why Families Choose Us
15+ Years in Tuscany
We have worked with families in Florence and Forte dei Marmi for more than 15 years, and we know which drivers actually last inside a household.
A Vetted Pool, Not a Job Board
We present people we have met in person and referenced ourselves, many of them already placed with families here. The shortlist is short and every name on it is credible.
Replacement Guarantee
We agree the trial period and a replacement window in writing. If the fit turns out to be wrong inside that window, we restart the search with no second placement fee.
One Contact, Four Languages
One person manages the search, the paperwork and the first months on the job, in Russian, Italian, German or English.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you find a family driver?
Usually the first profiles within about a week and a signed contract in two to four weeks. For a driver for the Versilia summer, start in spring: by June the strong candidates are already taken.
What does a private family driver cost?
The total depends on the format you choose (full time, seasonal, part time or live-in), the hours, whether the family provides the car, and the Italian employment contract with its social contributions. After a short brief we prepare a written monthly estimate together with the labour consultant, so you see the whole figure before anything is signed.
Can the driver use our own car?
Yes, that is the most common arrangement: the driver is employed by you and drives the family car, so simply check that your Italian motor policy allows any driver (guida libera). If you prefer a car supplied together with the driver, that is a licensed NCC service and we arrange it separately.
Is employing a driver in Italy complicated?
It is regulated but straightforward: a written domestic-work contract, INPS contributions paid quarterly, paid holidays and severance (TFR). The labour consultant registers the employee and issues the payslips, so nothing lands on your desk.
What if the driver does not work out?
The trial period is agreed before the start date. If the placement is clearly wrong within the replacement window, we reopen the search and present new candidates without charging a second placement fee.
Which areas do you cover?
Florence, Forte dei Marmi and the Versilia coast, Lucca, Pisa, Siena and villas across Chianti and inland Tuscany. The driver can be based near your home or travel with the family.
