How Katara’s Chauffeur Selection and Screening Process Works

When you book a ride with Katara Limousine, you’re placing your trust in the hands of a professional chauffeur. At Katara, we take that responsibility seriously.

That’s why we’ve established one of the most rigorous chauffeur selection processes in the region. One that prioritises safety, professionalism, and exceptional guest experience at every step.

Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how Katara selects its chauffeurs and why that makes all the difference for our clients.

1. Application & Initial Screening

The process begins with a thorough application that filters for quality from the start. Applicants must:

Submit a valid CV and hold a Qatar driving license
Be between 25-45 years of age
Have at least 2 years of driving experience in Qatar
Demonstrate basic English and/or Arabic communication skills
Possess a clean traffic record

This ensures that only the most qualified and experienced candidates move forward.

2. Document Verification

Trust and transparency are non-negotiable. Each shortlisted applicant undergoes:

Verification of Qatar ID, passport, and driving license
Police clearance and traffic department checks
Reference checks with previous employers

This step helps us confirm not only the candidate’s identity but also their track record for safe and responsible conduct.

3. HR & Fleet Interviews

Next comes a joint interview by our Human Resources and Fleet Manager teams. This isn’t just about asking questions, it’s about evaluating:

Personal grooming and hygiene
Communication skills
Overall attitude and behaviour

We believe that good manners and professional demeanour are as important as driving skills.

4. Road Test

A hands-on, supervised road test follows, where chauffeurs are evaluated for:

Driving proficiency and control of the vehicle
Familiarity with Doha’s city routes
Effective use of GPS systems

Safety and knowledge of the city are crucial to delivering a smooth and timely ride.

5. Training & Induction

Before hitting the road with clients, every chauffeur undergoes a 2-day induction programme, which includes:

Guest service etiquette
Vehicle care and maintenance
Road safety practices

This ensures every Katara chauffeur not only drives well, but serves with class.

6. Probation Period

For one full month, each new chauffeur is closely monitored for:

Punctuality and time management
Personal conduct and behaviour
Cleanliness and upkeep of assigned vehicle

Only those who meet Katara’s standards at every checkpoint move forward.

7. Final Appointment

Upon successful completion of probation, the chauffeur receives an official appointment and is:

Assigned to the Luxury, SUV, or Group fleet
Integrated into our coordination and scheduling system

They are now a full member of Katara’s elite driving team. Ready to serve with excellence.
