One standard for every driver, vehicle, and trip
P1 operates to one written standard for drivers, vehicles, equipment, and procedures in every market. Whichever city the trip is in and whichever driver is assigned, the service is the same, and there are no service tiers.
Security-trained drivers based in the market they serve
Every P1 driver is a security professional, typically with a background in law enforcement, the military, or executive protection. Drivers hold verified credentials, live in the market they serve, and are trained to work within an existing security detail, including staging, communication with agents, vehicle positioning, and route changes. They wear business attire rather than a chauffeur’s uniform, so they fit naturally beside the principal instead of drawing attention to them.

Certified luxury SUVs selected for discretion
A black SUV at the curb is often the first sign that a principal has arrived, and many clients now prefer something less conspicuous. P1 vehicles are late-model luxury SUVs in gray, silver, white, and deep blue as well as black, each inspected and certified individually every year and operated without branding or markings.

Annual certification
Inspected, photographed, and documented every year, and re-inspected after any incident.
Standardized layout
Critical equipment is stored in the same place in every certified vehicle, so any P1 driver can find it immediately.
No markings
No branding, signage, or name boards on the vehicle or at the pickup.
Pre-trip readiness check
The driver confirms the equipment and supplies before every trip.
Medical equipment
An AED and a professional trauma kit, including tourniquets, pressure dressings, chest seals, and hemostatic gauze, stored in the same place in every vehicle and checked before every trip.
Secure Wi-Fi and power
Each vehicle carries its own secure, dedicated Wi-Fi for the principal, separate from the vehicle's built-in hotspot. Depending on the market it runs on Starlink, a cellular booster, or a dedicated 4G/5G router, with backup power and fast charging front and rear.
Principal Kit
A separate case of personal essentials, from chargers and toiletries to preferred refreshments, stocked to the principal's preferences before each trip.
Real-time oversight of every trip
P1 runs on its own operations platform, built for protective transportation rather than adapted from limousine dispatch software. Each trip is a live record that updates as plans change, so your team and our operations center always work from the same current information.
Managed vehicle device
A dedicated, centrally managed device in every vehicle, used instead of the driver's personal phone.
Movement Brief
The driver, vehicle, route, contacts, and timing, delivered to your team before the trip.
Live tracking
Real-time location shared only with the people you authorize, for the duration of the trip.
Changes during the trip
Add a stop or extend the day while under way; each change is priced and approved immediately.
Flight monitoring
Pickups are linked to the aircraft, so early and late arrivals are handled without a phone call.
24/7 operations center
A team that is alerted the moment anything departs from the plan, and acts on it.
