Executive protection transportation in Palm Beach and Wellington
P1 drives principals, families, and house guests on Palm Beach island, along the coast from Jupiter Island to Boca Raton, and inland to Wellington: security professionals based in South Florida, in unmarked, equipped luxury SUVs, with pickups linked to the flight at the Palm Beach airport (now President Donald J. Trump International, DJT, formerly PBI) and a 24/7 operations center behind every trip.
A security professional at the wheel
Drivers from law enforcement, the military, or executive protection, trained in protective driving and emergency medical response.
An equipped, unmarked vehicle
A late-model luxury SUV with a trauma kit, an AED, secure Wi-Fi, and a Principal Kit, and nothing on the outside that draws attention.
Live tracking for your team
Assistants, pilots, and family you authorize follow the vehicle in real time, with an update at each milestone.
A 24/7 operations center
Every trip is monitored from the advance brief to the final drop-off, and any change is handled immediately.
How P1 runs trips in Palm Beach
South Florida is served to the P1 standard, with drivers who live in the region and whose knowledge of the island, its gated estates, and the roads between them is recorded and verified. In Palm Beach, P1 works for family offices and the people who run a household in season: the house manager arranging the week, the assistant keeping the dinner calendar, and the flight department bringing the family in for the winter.
Flights land at DJT in West Palm Beach, about 3 miles west of downtown, or at Boca Raton for the southern end of the county, and the driver is staged before the aircraft lands; for an international arrival, the car can meet passengers at the airport's separate customs building. After that, the driver and vehicle stay with the principal for the day: lunch and an afternoon of shopping on Worth Avenue, an appointment in West Palm Beach, the polo fields or the show grounds in Wellington, and a dinner at a club on the island, with the vehicle staged at each stop and ready when the principal is.
The season sets the pace. It runs from about late November to April and is busiest from January to March, when the Winter Equestrian Festival and polo fill Wellington and the island's calendar is at its fullest. P1 plans the season as a whole rather than trip by trip: sending the family's calendar early lets operations plan the drivers, vehicles, and staging for the weeks you are in residence, with a second vehicle for staff or luggage on arrival days.

A driver and vehicle for the whole day in Palm Beach
Most members book P1 by the hour rather than by the ride. From the first pickup to the last drop-off, the same driver and vehicle stay with the principal through meetings, errands, lunches, and dinners.
- Booked by the hourReserve the driver and vehicle for the day, or for the hours you need. The vehicle stays with the principal instead of dropping off and leaving.
- Staged at every stopWhile the principal is in a meeting, a shop, or at dinner, the driver waits nearby at the right entrance, ready to leave when the principal is.
- Plans that changeAdd a stop, change the destination, or keep the vehicle longer from the app. Each change is priced and approved on the spot, and operations updates the driver.
Airports we meet in Palm Beach
Every pickup is linked to the flight, so an early, late, or diverted arrival re-times it automatically, and the driver is staged before the aircraft lands.
When Palm Beach gets busy, and what we plan around
- Late November to April
The Palm Beach season. Residents and guests arrive from late November, the island is busiest from January to March, and the season winds down through April.
- About January to March
The Winter Equestrian Festival brings riders, owners, and spectators to Wellington, and the show grounds become a regular stop on the day's schedule.
- About January to April
Polo season in Wellington, with matches and the gatherings around them filling weekends from January into April.
- February and March
The Miami International Boat Show in February, the South Beach Wine & Food Festival in late February, and the Miami Open in March are a drive south from Palm Beach, each one booked as an intercity trip.
Drawbridges to the island
Palm Beach is reached over drawbridges across the Intracoastal Waterway, which open for boat traffic on fixed schedules. Drivers know the schedule for each bridge they use, and pickups on and off the island are timed around the openings.
Presidential visits
Mar-a-Lago sits near the airport. When the President is in residence, a wider flight restriction limits private flights, South Ocean Boulevard closes near the estate, and the Southern Boulevard bridge can close without notice for motorcades. Operations checks the restrictions in force before each arrival and routes trips on and off the island around the closures.
I-95 between Palm Beach and Miami
The drive to Miami is about 72 miles, 1 to 1.5 hours in normal traffic and up to 2 hours at rush hour. It is booked as an intercity trip, with the departure timed around the rush where the schedule allows and the expected time in the Movement Brief.
Hurricane season
From June through November, and especially from August to October, a storm can ground flights and close bridges and roads. Operations follows the forecast for every trip on the calendar, re-times pickups with the flights, and tells your team as soon as a plan changes.
What the Movement Brief covers in Palm Beach
The people you designate receive a one-page brief before each trip, naming the driver and their credentials, the vehicle and its verified equipment, and the operations contact, with the local details below.
- The arrival airport (DJT or Boca Raton), the FBO, and the meeting point at the aircraft, the FBO door, or the customs building for an international arrival
- The route and drive time for the day, including drawbridge openings on the way to the island, any closures for a presidential visit, I-95 at rush hour for trips to Miami, and the weather in hurricane season
- Where the vehicle is staged at the residence, club, or show grounds, and the gate or entrance the driver will use
- The driver and their credentials, the vehicle and its verified equipment, and the operations contact for the trip
Between a car service and a full protection detail
Most trips do not call for a protection detail, but they deserve more than a chauffeur. P1 adds protective capability to everyday travel in Palm Beach without the footprint, minimums, or cost of a full detail.

Yes. P1 meets private flights at the Palm Beach airport, now President Donald J. Trump International (DJT, formerly PBI), and at Boca Raton (BCT) for residences at the southern end of the county. The pickup is linked to the tail number, so an early or late arrival re-times it, and the driver is staged before the aircraft lands, at the aircraft where the FBO allows it or at the customs building for an international arrival.
Yes. Most members book P1 by the hour, and the driver and vehicle stay with the principal from the first stop to the last, staged outside each lunch, shop, club, or appointment and ready to move when the principal is. Stops can be added or the vehicle kept longer from the P1 app, with each change priced and approved on the spot.
Yes. Palm Beach to Miami is about 72 miles, 1 to 1.5 hours in normal traffic and up to 2 hours at rush hour, and it is booked as an intercity trip. The driver can stay with the principal for a dinner or an event in Miami and drive back the same night, or return once the principal is dropped off.
Yes. During the Winter Equestrian Festival (about January to March) and polo season (about January to April), the driver can stay with the principal at the show grounds or the polo club for the day. Operations confirms where the vehicle waits at each venue, and the brief names the entrance. Drivers also cover Jupiter, Jupiter Island, Palm Beach Gardens, and Boca Raton.
A car service sends a chauffeur, trained for hospitality. P1 sends a security professional, typically with a background in law enforcement, the military, or executive protection, trained in protective driving and emergency medical response, in an unmarked SUV that carries a trauma kit, an AED, secure Wi-Fi, and a Principal Kit stocked to the principal's preferences. Every trip also has an advance brief, live tracking, and a 24/7 operations center.
Drivers are armed where lawful and appropriately licensed. That capability is held in reserve as a final contingency; most of what a protective driver does is planning, awareness, and careful driving.
When the President is in residence at Mar-a-Lago, near the airport, a wider flight restriction limits private flights, South Ocean Boulevard closes near the estate, and the Southern Boulevard bridge can close without notice for motorcades. Operations checks the restrictions before each arrival, works with your flight department on the arrival plan, and routes trips on and off the island around the closures.
Yes. The people you authorize see the vehicle in real time and receive an update at each milestone. Pilots get a crew link that shows where the vehicle is staged and when the passengers are heading back to the aircraft, and nothing about destinations or the family.
The vehicles are unmarked, drivers dress in business attire rather than a chauffeur's suit, and there are no name boards at the FBO. Every driver signs a nondisclosure agreement and the Code of Conduct before the first trip, and the details of the family's schedule go only to the people you designate.
P1 is offered through membership rather than by the ride. P1 Membership begins with a minimum $25,000 prepaid annual service commitment, and the full amount is available toward eligible P1 services, in Palm Beach, Miami, and every other P1 market. The rate schedule is shared after a membership request.
