ETS Luxury Driving is pleased to announce that the company recently gained worldwide exposure when it was featured in Sotheby’s International Realty magazine. In the article, ETS’s commitment to high-quality service was highlighted, as was their global reach spanning 54 countries and 300 cities. Also showcased was the company’s fleet of 35 luxury vehicles, which includes exclusive vehicles, such as the Mercedes E Class, Mercedes S Class, BMW 5 and 7 series, and fully electric models, such as the BMW i7 and the Mercedes EQV, which can accommodate five to seven passengers. For larger groups, ETS Luxury Driving offers Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans that can seat between 8 and 23 people.
Of ETS’s high-end service, Founder Bart van Leijden said to Sotheby’s: “We understand that time is valuable. With our luxury vehicles, travel time becomes just as productive as office time. A stable Wi-Fi connection, a comfortable workspace, and a driver who takes care of every detail ensures that our clients can work undisturbed. We customize every aspect of the ride, from the temperature of the vehicle to the background music: anything is possible.”

Furthermore, van Leijden shared that ETS—with offices in the Netherlands and Belgium—prioritizes safety, comfort, and communication, with a booking system that makes things as easy as possible for their clients.
“Our clients can easily book their ride using our online portal,” explained van Leijden in the Sotheby’s piece. “They receive driver details 24 hours before the trip along with updates about the driver's location by text message or e-mail. Our exceptional service covers the entire journey, from pickup at Prinsengracht to drop-off at Schiphol and from Singapore Airport to the client’s final destination. We also invoice in a single currency. And if we're even one minute late, the ride is free.”
Since 2023, Van Leijden’s sons John and Nick have taken the reins of the company, serving as joint managing directors. Van Leijden stepped down after more than 30 years in the industry following winning Music Express’ International Affiliate of the Year award in 2023. However, John and Nick continue to run the family business with the same passion and dedication.
“Our mission? No request is too crazy, no challenge too big. We strive to make every journey, no matter how complex, perfect,” stated John.
