Quick answer: 'chauffeur' (one r) is the English dictionary word for a professional driver. 'Chauffeurr' (two r's) is the brand name of the on-demand chauffeur service operated by Al Rwad Limousine LLC, RTA-licensed in Dubai under trade licence 578599.
Why the double-r? When we launched, the obvious one-r domain wasn't available — and we wanted a name that was unmistakably ours, easy to spell once you knew it, and a small wink to the French roots of the word (from chauffer, to heat — the original chauffeurs literally fired the boiler of the first steam cars). Chauffeurr was born.
It does mean we lose some search traffic to companies that bought the dictionary spelling. We're fine with that. The clients who book Chauffeurr come for the fleet, the chauffeurs and the consistency — not the URL. If you found us by typing the wrong spelling on purpose, welcome.
The English dictionary word is 'chauffeur' (single r). Chauffeurr (double r) is a brand name — the trading name of Al Rwad Limousine LLC's premium on-demand chauffeur service in the UAE. So both spellings are correct, depending on whether you mean the profession or the company.
When we launched, the dictionary domain (chauffeur.ae and chauffeur.com) was already taken by other operators worldwide. Rather than choose a less memorable name, we doubled the 'r' — a small play on the French origin of the word, and a way to claim a brand that is unmistakably ours.
We're one of several Dubai chauffeur companies — but we're the on-demand, RTA-licensed service operated by Al Rwad Limousine LLC (trade licence 578599), with a 4.9 average rating across 320+ verified reviews and 24/7 dispatch from our office at Ibn Battuta Gate.

Chauffeur comes from the French verb 'chauffer' — to heat. In the late 1800s, drivers of the earliest steam-powered cars literally had to stoke a fire to keep the boiler warm. The name stuck even after combustion engines arrived. Today it means a professionally-employed driver.
