Secure transportation & Security Drivers in Germany

Germany

Secure travel for VIPs across Germany

Germany (officially the Federal Republic of Germany) is the most populous state in the European Union. The country is considered to be a great power, due to its economic power and political influence.

Many of our clients ask us to arrange secure transportation in and around the capital, Berlin, the financial district, Frankfurt, and the largest urban area, the Ruhr, but we can arrange secure transportation to any part of Germany.

We’ll do a threat assessment in advance, to recommend the safest way to get about, and always keep ourselves aware of the latest legislation about driving in Germany.

Security drivers in Germany

Our security drivers are trained to look after VIPs in a luxury limousine, armoured vehicle or even a local taxi. Whatever is most suited to the client’s transport needs and the situation.

Note that all our security drivers speak English. While most Germans are multi-lingual, we can arrange local translators if required. In fact, we offer a full concierge service, so we can arrange anything you want!

It’s important to note the new EES entry/exit system for people travelling into the EU, starting from October 2025. We can advise you about this, and the passport/visa requirements.

Security vehicles in Germany

Germany is a transport hub for the continent, with a dense road network. The motorway (autobahn) has no speed limit for some vehicles.

Wherever we are, and wherever we’re going, we make sure to monitor the news and social media to check the road situation and ensure a smooth journey.

The largest German airports are Frankfurt, Munich and Berlin Brandenburg. If required, we can arrange private aviation or sea travel as well as security drivers.

Germany

Overview of Germany

Germany borders Denmark, Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, France, Luxembourg, Belgium, the Netherlands, the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. The country has maintained a strong relationship with all its neighbours since 1990.

It’s a member of the Council of Europe, NATO, the OECD, G7, G20, the World Bank and the IMF, and plays an influential role in the EU. It’s also a close ally with the US and Russia.

The geography ranges from Alpine mountains to forests, and major rivers including the Rhine, Danube, and Elba. The climate is mostly temperate.

 

Security risks in Germany

Germany has a skilled labour force with a low level of corruption, low unemployment rate, and a high level of innovation. That said, a 2013 survey revealed that 11% of respondents had been asked to pay a bribe.

Like other developed countries, the murder rate is low in Germany, at around 1 per 100,000 people.

 

Violent crime

Illegal drugs carry severe penalties, and outlaw motorcycle gangs control a large amount of the drug trade in bars and clubs.

As well as native crime groups, there have organised crime groups operating in the country, originating from places such as Italy, Russia, Yugoslavia and Albania.

Non-violent crime

It’s important to be aware of risks such as pickpocketing and burglary. Be especially vigilant in crowded places, and ask us about our close protection services.

Crimes such as extortion, drug and weapon trafficking are more likely in urban centres.

Terrorism

Although the German authorities are on alert, there’s a high threat of terrorist attacks, especially in places commonly visited by tourists such as restaurants, shopping centres, and sporting / cultural events.

Riots

Large protests have taken place in Germany during 2024 and 2025, against the far-right political party Alternative for Germany (AfG).

As part of ensuring the safety of our clients, we keep a close eye on developments so our drivers can take evasive action if required.

Events

The country is known for its bread, cheese, sausages, and beer! Many people travel to Germany during Oktoberfest and in the run-up to Christmas.

Prime tourist destinations include Cologne Cathedral, the Brandenburg Gate, the Reichstag, and many other castles.
