Executive and corporate travel in Palm Beach
The Palm Beaches have become a significant base for hedge funds, private equity firms and family offices, many of them in new towers along Flagler Drive and Clematis Street in West Palm Beach. The island of Palm Beach itself is mainly residential, with Worth Avenue shops, private clubs and historic hotels. Executive assistants and travel managers frequently book executive car service by the hour, so a principal can go from a West Palm Beach office to a club lunch and on to a meeting in Boca Raton as one multi-stop itinerary. Corporate car service is also used for visiting investors during the winter season.
Arriving at Palm Beach International and private terminals
Palm Beach International Airport (PBI) is just west of downtown West Palm Beach, close to the bridges to the island. Its FBOs handle a large volume of private flights in the season, and Boca Raton Airport further south is another business aviation option. Fort Lauderdale (FLL) and Miami (MIA) offer more long-haul flights. Every airport transfer is flight-tracked, and FBO pickups are arranged once the operator name and tail number are shared.

Districts, clubs and venues
West Palm Beach holds the downtown financial district, CityPlace (now The Square), the Kravis Center and the Palm Beach County Convention Center. Across the Intracoastal Waterway, Palm Beach island has Worth Avenue, Royal Poinciana Way and grand hotels used for charity balls. Jupiter and Palm Beach Gardens to the north and Boca Raton to the south add corporate offices and golf resorts.

Galas, season events, roadshows and group transportation
The winter season brings charity galas, polo in Wellington and art fairs, with controlled drop-off points at hotels and clubs. The desk can quote event transportation with timed arrivals and group transportation for families or guests staying at several properties. Roadshows to family offices and funds between Palm Beach, Boca Raton and Miami can run with a lead car and additional vehicles following one plan.
Visitor notes: bridges, season and weather
Three bridges link the island to West Palm Beach, and drawbridge openings can briefly stop traffic. Season, roughly from December to April, is the busiest time for roads and restaurants. Summer is hot with afternoon storms, and hurricane season runs from June to November. Chauffyr checks weather advisories and plans accordingly.
Residences, clubs and discreet arrangements
Much of Palm Beach life happens at private homes and members' clubs, where gate staff and house managers expect advance notice. The desk can note gate codes, guest-list names and the entrances to use, and a private car service can wait discreetly nearby rather than in a driveway. Shopping and lunch on Worth Avenue are easy with a chauffeur because parking is tight in season. Family offices often arrange visits from investors flying into PBI in the morning and leaving the same evening; an hourly day covers meetings in West Palm Beach, a club lunch and a return to the FBO. Guests travelling on to Miami or the Keys can book the onward transfer on the same request.
Polo, art fairs and the drive south
Wellington's winter polo and equestrian season draws spectators from across the Palm Beaches, and event transportation can bring guests to the grounds and back after evening receptions. Art fairs, boat shows and charity events in West Palm Beach and Fort Lauderdale add more busy weekends. The drive south along I-95 to Boca Raton, Fort Lauderdale and Miami is a regular trip for family-office staff and visiting investors, and the desk can quote it as a transfer or an hourly day with meetings in each city.
Planning your Palm Beach quote
Share the airport or FBO, flight or tail number, each address, the date and hours, and the number of guests and bags. For a gala, include the venue's arrival instructions. The desk sends a USD quote for the vehicle class you choose, locked when you book, and confirms chauffeur and vehicle details before travel.
