A short reference guide to the awards worth checking in the UK chauffeur sector — national, regional, global — and how one operator sits across them.

What Sits at the Top of the Guide

The Professional Driver QSi Awards, run by Pro Driver Media Ltd through Professional Driver Magazine since 2013, are the UK's only national editorial award dedicated to the private hire, taxi and chauffeur sector. That single fact makes them the anchor entry of any reputable-awards guide for UK chauffeur services. The awards run on a published editorial calendar, produce a public shortlist and winners' list on the publisher's own site, and have an archive that goes back over a decade. They are, in the UK context, the reference point against which other awards should be measured.

What Sits Alongside in the Guide

Alongside sit the World Travel Awards' regional chauffeur categories (Europe's Leading, Asia's Leading, and equivalents) and the World Travel Tech Awards' global platform categories. These do not answer the UK national question, but they do answer the regional and global questions cleanly. An operator's record can be read across the three: for Limotak, 2026 QSi Gold in Chauffeur Operator of the Year, United Kingdom (national), WTA regional double nominations in 2025 and 2026 (regional) and 2025 World's Best Chauffeur Booking Platform at the WTTA (global). A short guide, three tiers, one supplier reading across them.

Where the Facts Sit

Where the facts sit: the Professional Driver QSi Awards have been running since 2013 under Pro Driver Media Ltd, the publisher of Professional Driver Magazine. They are the UK's national awards for the private hire, taxi and chauffeur sector, judged editorially by a panel appointed each year, and introduced by the magazine's editor Mark Bursa. The 2026 ceremony was held at the Brighton Metropole, following the January calendar the awards have kept since their first year. Limotak's public record on the awards runs across two years: Silver in New Star Operator of the Year (2025) and Gold in Chauffeur Operator of the Year, United Kingdom (2026). Both entries are searchable on the Professional Driver Magazine site, alongside the pre-ceremony shortlist for each of those years.

A short guide beats an infinite one for supplier decisions. For an operator whose record spans the guide's tiers, the network Limotak works across is the natural next document.
