This may happen to anyone: you need to go somewhere in your own car, but you can't drive or don't feel like it. You can use a personal driver's services.
Here are some possible reasons for using it:
Feeling unwell. Low blood pressure, bad headache, aching tooth, the treatment of which you postponed for the last six months. It may seem trivial, but it makes it difficult to concentrate on the road.
A hard day. Sometimes you are so tired by evening, that you don't have any strength left to drive.
Time is too precious to waste it driving. Nowadays, many people dedicate each spare minute to working and self-educating and don't want to distract themselves even to drive a car. Gadgets make it possible to successfully work from the backseat.
The list goes on, of course. There are some more popular reasons.
Going home from an office party
You spent some quality time with your colleagues, celebrated a happy occasion, drunk a couple of (or a bit more) glasses of wine… The party got to its logical conclusion, now you have to get home somehow. A drunk driver should use someone else's services — it's stupid and unsafe to drive yourself.
Order a taxi? That's a good option, but you don't want to leave your car. And the parking is going to cost you, if it is paid.
For this kind of situations, many taxi services provide a special "Designated driver" service. At least that's how it's usually called. It may appear under a different name in the list of rates: simply "Driver", "Personal driver", etc.
Usually a "designated driver" is available 24/7, because you may need their services at any time.
You need to talk to someone during the ride.
Another occasion when it's inconvenient to drive yourself — you need to pay a lot of attention to your passenger.
For example, you picked your business partner up at the airport and decided to start discussing affairs on the way to save time. It's hard to concentrate both on driving and on business at once. It is also weird to play a part of a taxi driver in a situation like this. So it's better to let someone else drive.

How it happens
Our users often ask how exactly the service is provided. Does a driver come on foot? If they don't, then where do they leave their car? Are there any time restrictions? It's really rather simple.
After getting an order, a driver parks their own car. If they can't leave it where the client waits, then they find the nearest spot. And then they do go on foot.
Guides for personal drivers for a day, written by taxi order services, recommend checking a client's OSAGO insurance. Here's why: only an open form doesn't limit the number of people allowed to drive the car. In other cases, only people included into the insurance can legally drive, so you'll have to cancel the order.
There are usually no time restrictions. A personal driver for a day is a viable option.
