Multi-city roadshow in Europe: organising chauffeured transport over several days
A FJ13 multi-city roadshow assigns a dedicated chauffeur for several days across Strasbourg, Frankfurt, Zurich, Luxembourg, Basel, Baden-Baden and Paris, with centralised coordination, the same vehicle for the whole assignment and consolidated invoicing. Designed for investor tours, due diligence trips and trade shows.
Multi-city roadshow with chauffeur: definition and use cases
A roadshow is a professional tour covering several cities in a few days, typically to meet investors (M&A, IPO, fundraising rounds), run product demonstrations for prospects, attend industry trade shows or carry out audits. The Upper Rhine axis (Strasbourg, Basel, Frankfurt, Luxembourg, Zurich, Stuttgart, Baden-Baden) concentrates a unique density of economic decision-making centres.
FJ13 regularly organises this type of assignment: two to seven consecutive days, four to twelve pickups per day, inter-city legs of one to three hours between meetings. The chauffeur ensures continuity on the road, but also handles logistics in real time: adjusting the schedule if a meeting runs over, changing the route if the next appointment is cancelled, booking a backup hotel if needed.
Typical profiles using this service: sales directors on B2B client tours, M&A teams from investment banks, corporate delegations on due diligence, executives raising funds, trade show exhibitors with several venues to cover (Strasbourg Expo, Paris Expo, Messe Frankfurt). Some companies also choose to combine the roadshow with a corporate seminar when one stop extends into a convention or a team meeting.
Centralised coordination: a single point of contact for the whole tour
Before the roadshow, an itinerary file is built with your executive assistant: hour-by-hour schedule, list of addresses and contacts, specific requirements (catering, chauffeur language preferences, child seats for mixed family trips, confidentiality). FJ13 validates the feasibility of the itinerary, flags pressure points (recurring traffic jams, driving restrictions, local events) and suggests optimised adjustments. To anticipate peak periods and vehicle availability, it helps to align your dates with the 2026 calendar of major trade shows and congresses (in French).
During the tour, a FJ13 coordinator is your single point of contact, reachable 24 hours a day by phone, email or WhatsApp. Any last-minute adjustment (postponed meeting, cancelled appointment, delayed flight that makes you miss a connection) is handled live without you having to step in. The chauffeur follows the coordinator's instructions, you focus on your meetings.
Same chauffeur and same vehicle for the whole assignment
A single chauffeur is assigned to your roadshow from the first day to the last. This continuity is decisive: the chauffeur learns your habits (cabin temperature, preferred quiet time, regular coffee breaks), knows your regular passengers by name, and anticipates transitions between meetings without you having to repeat the plan.
The vehicle is also constant: a sedan (3 passengers with luggage) or a van (up to 7 passengers with luggage) stays assigned to your mission. The administrative file for Swiss border crossings is prepared in advance, which avoids delays at checkpoints. Maintenance is scheduled so it does not interfere with your timetable. This logistics is what makes it possible to cross borders with the same chauffeur between France, Germany and Switzerland.
In the event of a major incident (vehicle breakdown, chauffeur unavailable for medical reasons), an equivalent replacement is deployed within 2 hours with a full briefing of the new chauffeur on the specifics of your mission.

Pricing, consolidated invoicing and tailored quote
Roadshow pricing combines a daily flat rate for the dedicated chauffeur and compensation for the actual distances driven. The flat rate covers the chauffeur (on duty 10 to 12 hours per day), the vehicle, border crossings, tolls, fuel and parking. Long-distance legs (more than 200 km in a single day) benefit from decreasing rates.
Indicative rate: from EUR 950 excl. VAT per day for a chauffeur with a sedan on the Upper Rhine, from EUR 1,280 excl. VAT for a chauffeur with a multi-passenger van. Chauffeur accommodation (hotel near your own accommodation) is invoiced at cost with receipts.
A complete and final quote is issued within 2 business hours after receiving your detailed itinerary at contact@fj13.fr. Invoicing is consolidated at the end of the assignment with a breakdown per day, per leg and per ancillary cost, compatible with your accounting and VAT recovery.
Frequently asked questions
From how many days does a roadshow make sense versus standard chauffeur rides?
From 2 consecutive days with at least 4 meetings per day, the roadshow model becomes more economical than a series of separate rides, because the cost of repositioning the chauffeur is shared. Below 2 days, hourly chauffeur hire or standard rides are a better fit.
Can the chauffeur cross the Swiss border without difficulty?
Yes, provided the administrative file is prepared beforehand. FJ13 keeps the mandatory documents up to date (vehicle registration, insurance, ADR record for executive transport, individual VTC card with German and English translation). Crossing at Saint-Louis, Basel or Grand-Saconnex takes less than 5 minutes under normal conditions.
Do you provide a chauffeur who speaks several languages?
Yes. Our chauffeurs covering the Upper Rhine always speak French and English, and most are fluent in German. For specific assignments (Italian delegation, Russian-speaking clients, Chinese travellers), a multilingual assignment is possible with 72 hours advance notice.
Do you handle the chauffeur's accommodation if the roadshow lasts several days?
Two options: your organisation books a room in the same hotel as your teams (often preferable for morning coordination); or FJ13 books a nearby hotel with receipts included in the invoice. In both cases, the chauffeur observes the mandatory rest periods (11 consecutive hours between two working days).
What happens if a meeting is cancelled that very morning?
The FJ13 coordinator reorganises the schedule in real time: return to the hotel, an alternative route, or simply parking the vehicle at the nearest car park until the next meeting. No penalty for programme changes within reason (a few cancellations per day).
Can the vehicle carry several attendees at the same time?
Yes. A Mercedes van carries 7 passengers with luggage and is ideal for delegations travelling as a group. For on-board meeting setups (a sales team preparing a pitch during the journey), a corporate layout with a work table and on-board 4G Wi-Fi is available on request.
