Drivers Wanted

A driver on the site claimed he drove this previously: one of the rarest, most expensive classics in the world, the Bugatti Type 35.

Hiring a driver for your car used to be a tedious process. You had to ask people for a driver, they had to ask others and finally you would be interviewing a pool of candidates with range of experiences that is far from what you expected. Those days are long gone. In the age of linkedIn and Glassdoor we give you: driverbd.com.
This plain looking site claims to hold information of more than 1000 drivers in the country. There are several categories from which you can actually find 'The One'; including home district, living area, driven vehicle type and brand. So if you are biased by stereotypes, like a driver from Barishal causing more accidents, you can altogether avoid any candidate from that region.
The registration process is simple. Fill in the info and make a payment of BDT 2000/
-After making the payment, you can make a shortlist of up to 20 drivers. After making the list you can submit to the site. Only then you can view their contact details
 

A typical driver profile. How much of it is believable?

This is our take on the site:

• Some drivers are guaranteed to give of you out of the world driving experience because of their past experience with something called the 'Toyota ALIEN'.
• There are some drivers wanting to only drive BMWs and Audis. So never call them up and waste their valuable time. P.S. Interestingly, their past experiences with cars are limited to Maruti Wagon-Rs.
• Don't hesitate to visit the site even if you want to hire driver for a CNG, tempo, bus or truck.
• Apparently NOAH is a brand now. [Go to the Search tab of the site to see it for yourself].
• We also found one driver who is driving a Bugatti Type 35, an extremely rare race-car built in 1926.

So seeing all these, we are a tad bit doubtful whether these information are accurate at all. Moreover, the verification process that the site admins went through are also questionable. Also, what happens when the driver hired from the site turns out to be a miscreant, are not clearly outlined.
Though there are some downsides to hiring from this site, it's still an appreciable initiative. If you are really in need of a chauffeur, now you know where to look.
