Single security driver
One trained protective driver in a vetted vehicle. The standard pattern for daily routines, predictable executive movement, and lower-profile residential transitions where the driver alone is the protective layer.
Service Line / 02
Secure Transportation.
Trained security drivers, vetted vehicles, and routed coverage — coordinated through a single point of contact across DAW's licensed markets and operational network.
Overview
Movement is where exposure happens.
Most protective work, examined honestly, is transportation work. Principals are at greatest exposure not in residence or in office, but in the movements between them — arrivals, departures, queues at private aviation, predictable patterns to and from the same building at the same time of day.
DAW's secure transportation service treats those movements as the primary protective surface. Trained security drivers, vetted vehicles, advance route work, and coordinated handoffs across markets — all delivered under a single point of contact, regardless of how many cities or stops the itinerary involves.
The configuration adjusts to the engagement: a single-vehicle security driver for a daily routine; multi-vehicle motorcade work for a high-exposure event; coordinated airport transfers across two metros on one operational record. Always the same operations point. Never an introduction to a new vendor mid-trip.
Capabilities
Configurations of secure movement.
The patterns we deploy most often. Each is sized to the actual engagement, not pulled from a fixed menu.
Driver + close-protection agent
A separate trained driver and dedicated close-protection agent. The right configuration when the principal is working in transit, has multiple stops, or when the agent's attention should not be split between protection and driving.
Motorcade — multi-vehicle
Lead, principal, and follow vehicle configurations for higher-profile movements, public-facing events, or known-threat exposure. Coordinated with venue, advance, and route security throughout.
Airport transfers — private aviation
FBO meet-and-greet, ramp coordination where credentialed, transfer to vetted vehicle, and routed delivery to residence, office, or venue. Coordinated with private aviation operators across the major U.S. private terminals.
Airport transfers — commercial
Vetted driver coordinated to commercial arrival including international. Discreet meet, secure transit, and direct routing — paired with protective coverage where the engagement requires.
Multi-city itineraries
One operations point coordinating drivers and vehicles across two, three, or more metros on a single trip — so the principal never has to be re-introduced to a new vendor at each stop.
By State
Secure transportation, licensed where it matters.
Each state below links to a dedicated transportation coverage page — cities served, airports covered, vehicle profile, and licensing detail.
Sub-Service
The security driver — distinct from a livery driver.
A security driver is not a chauffeur with a badge. The training is different, the vetting is different, and the operating posture is different. A DAW security driver is selected for evasive driving certification, route awareness, surveillance detection, and the composure to operate inside a protective frame without theatrics.
For many of our family-office and corporate clients, the security driver is the entirety of the protective layer — and it is the right layer for the engagement. A trained driver in a vetted vehicle can manage the actual exposures of a daily routine without the visibility or footprint of a multi-agent detail.
Where the engagement warrants more, the security driver pairs cleanly with close-protection agents, advance teams, and motorcade configurations — coordinated under one operations point.
Common Questions
Secure transportation, specifically.
What's the difference between a security driver and a chauffeur?
A chauffeur is hired for the comfort of the ride. A security driver is hired for the protection of the principal during movement. The training (evasive driving, route work, surveillance detection), the vetting (background, registration, ongoing requalification), and the operating posture are different — and the cost reflects that difference. For our family-office and corporate clients, the security driver is often the entire protective layer required for daily routine.
Are vehicles armored?
By default, no. Most family-office and corporate engagements do not warrant armored vehicles, and operating an armored vehicle in routine settings often draws more attention than it deflects. Where the threat profile warrants armored coverage, we coordinate it. Standard fleet posture is unmarked, late-model executive vehicles selected for the residential and corporate context, not for visibility.
Can you coordinate transportation across multiple cities and states on a single trip?
Yes — and that is one of the most frequent configurations we run. A single operations point coordinates security drivers, vehicles, and protective handoffs across two, three, or more metros, so the principal works with one point of contact regardless of where the trip touches down. This applies to corporate analyst tours, multi-city earnings circuits, family multi-residence schedules, and conference travel.
Do you handle airport transfers including private aviation?
Yes. FBO meet-and-greets and ramp coordination (where credentialed) at the major private aviation hubs are routine. Commercial arrivals, including international, are also covered with vetted drivers and protective coverage as the engagement requires.
