Protocol Expertise

Where Protocol Meets Precision

Founded by a former European Commission protocol officer, our understanding of institutional protocol is embedded in everything we do.

Our Protocol Standards

Our CEO, Marie-Claire Dubois, spent years as a protocol officer at the European Commission before founding EQC in 2004. This institutional knowledge permeates every aspect of our service.

VIP Arrival Procedures

Our chauffeurs are trained in proper VIP arrival sequences — from vehicle positioning to door opening protocol. We coordinate with security teams to ensure seamless arrivals at official venues.

Confidentiality Commitments

All chauffeurs sign comprehensive NDAs. What is discussed in our vehicles stays confidential. We understand that political conversations happen in transit — discretion is non-negotiable.

Security Clearances

We maintain a pool of chauffeurs with valid security clearances compatible with EU and NATO institutional requirements. Background checks are conducted regularly and to the highest standards.

Last-Minute Flexibility

Political schedules change constantly. Votes run late, meetings extend, summits shift. Our operations team adapts in real-time — rerouting vehicles, adjusting pickup times, and keeping your assistant informed.
