Travel, Transport & Security
Drivers, executive transport and chauffeur services
Transport in Iraq is a planning problem before it is a vehicle problem. Who is driving, which route, at what time, and who knows where the car is.
What you receive
- A movement plan per visit or per week, with vehicles, drivers, routes and timings
- Driver and vehicle details confirmed in advance rather than on the day
- A single point of contact who knows where every movement is
- Provider invoices at cost, shown separately from the Salt coordination fee
Most transport difficulties in Iraq are not incidents. They are a driver who did not know the plan, a vehicle that was not where it was supposed to be, or a visitor standing outside an airport with a telephone that will not connect.
We coordinate transport as a movement plan: vehicle, driver, route, timing and a check-in procedure, briefed before anybody gets in the car. Salt does not own vehicles or employ drivers; we select, contract and supervise the providers who do.
Executive chauffeurs
- Vetted chauffeurs assigned to a visit or an assignment, not rotated at random
- Route and timing briefed before the movement
- Airport and inter-city transfers
- Daily, weekly and monthly hire with driver
- Bilingual drivers where the visit requires it
Luxury soft-skin vehicles
For routine city movement, where an armoured vehicle would be conspicuous rather than useful.
- Executive saloons and SUVs with chauffeur
- Multi-vehicle arrangements for delegations
- Vehicle standards, condition and insurance verified before assignment
B6 armoured vehicles
Supplied with trained drivers by licensed security companies on your contract. We specify the requirement, select the provider, check the licence and insurance, and oversee performance.
- Armoured vehicle provision with trained drivers
- Secure movement and protective security details
- Convoy and multi-vehicle movements
- Journey management planning, route selection and timing
- Movement tracking and check-in procedures
Availability, specification and provider capability are confirmed in writing at the time of enquiry. We do not hold or guarantee a fleet.
Staff transport
- Shuttle arrangements between accommodation, office and site

Who it is suitable for

Where this touches legal work. Contracting a licensed security provider involves a contract, and contract review sits with Salt & Associates, engaged separately. Duty-of-care and employer obligation questions are also legal.
Common questions
When is an armoured vehicle the right answer?
That depends on the route, the profile of the traveller and the current assessment, and it is a question for a licensed security provider rather than for us. We arrange the assessment and present the options with costs.
Can we have the same driver each time?
Where the provider can assign one, yes, and we ask for it as a default on visits. Continuity of driver is usually worth more than the vehicle specification.
What does a movement plan include?
Vehicle and driver details, route, timings, contact numbers, check-in points and what happens if a leg is delayed. It is issued before the first movement, not after it.
