In a recent City A.M. feature, Bobby Drewett, founder of OUNO, shared the journey of positioning his startup as the leading executive ride-hailing service in London.

From tackling industry pain points to securing exclusive partnerships, OUNO has disrupted the market by offering something that ride-hailing giants like Uber and Bolt simply can’t—a premium, invite-only service designed for business leaders, executives, and high-net-worth individuals.

Here’s how OUNO carved out its niche at the top of London’s business travel scene.

A Market Gap Waiting to Be Filled

Before OUNO, business travelers in London had limited options—either rely on mainstream ride-hailing apps with unreliable service or book a traditional chauffeur at a premium cost. Neither provided a seamless, consistent, and business-friendly solution.

Drewett saw this gap and designed OUNO to bridge it:

An invite-only platform ensuring top-tier drivers and premium service

No cancellations, no surge pricing, eliminating the biggest frustrations of Uber

A direct link between passengers and their preferred chauffeurs, ensuring familiarity, trust, and discretion

“The existing options simply weren’t built for business professionals who value reliability above all else,” Drewett told City A.M. “That’s why we made it our mission to create a service that never cancels, never surges, and always delivers a premium experience.”


Strategic Partnerships That Matter

To solidify its reputation as London’s top business travel provider, OUNO has secured key partnerships with some of the city’s most prestigious venues and brands.

Exclusive ride partner of The O2 Arena, managing VIP transport for high-profile events

Official chauffeur service for London’s West End theatres, catering to talent, executives, and guests

Designated pick-up/drop-off partner for ExCel London, one of the UK’s largest event venues

Corporate travel provider for leading businesses, from Prada to Soho House

By integrating into the infrastructure of London’s business and entertainment elite, OUNO has become more than just a ride—it’s a trusted mobility partner.

“We’re not just another ride-hailing app,” Drewett said in the City A.M. interview. “We’re a premium service woven into the fabric of London’s business and entertainment scene.”


A Business Model That Puts Executives First

OUNO was built with business travel in mind. Unlike traditional chauffeur services that require advance bookings and hefty retainers, OUNO offers:

On-demand executive transport with no uncertainty

Corporate accounts with streamlined invoicing and expense tracking

Luxury electric vehicle options for sustainability-conscious companies

The result is a service that is as effortless as Uber but with the prestige and reliability of a private chauffeur.

“We wanted to bring the convenience of ride-hailing to the executive market—but with the kind of service that CEOs, investors, and high-profile clients expect,” said Drewett.

“The world’s top one percent don’t have time for uncertainty,” he told City A.M. “We’re building a service that moves at their speed.”


The Future of Business Travel Is Here

With its invite-only model, exclusive partnerships, and unwavering reliability, OUNO has redefined what business travel should look like in London.

For those who demand more than just a ride, OUNO delivers.

OUNO Founder Bobby Drewett Speaks to Entrepreneur.com About the Future of Chauffeur Travel

Luxury ride-hailing is changing. And OUNO is leading the charge.

Recently, Entrepreneur.com sat down with Bobby Drewett, Founder of OUNO, to discuss the Direct-to-Driver revolution and how OUNO is redefining chauffeur services for high-net-worth individuals and business travelers.

In an industry dominated by big-name ride-hailing apps with unreliable service, surge pricing, and high commissions, OUNO has built something different—something exclusive, seamless, and built for professionals who demand the best.

“Ride-Hailing is Broken. We Fixed It.”

During the interview, Bobby highlighted the flaws in traditional ride-hailing:

Cancellations & No-Shows
“People book an executive ride for a reason. They don’t have time for last-minute cancellations.”

Surge Pricing & Hidden Fees
“Why should passengers pay double just because it’s rush hour? It’s unacceptable.”

Low Pay for Drivers
“When drivers aren’t earning fairly, service quality drops. OUNO ensures professional chauffeurs get the respect and pay they deserve.”

With OUNO’s invite-only platform, every ride is a VIP experience—no compromises.


Direct-to-Driver: A Game Changer

One of the biggest takeaways from the interview? The rise of Direct-to-Driver (D2D) platforms. OUNO is cutting out the middleman and giving both drivers and passengers more control, better pay, and a superior service experience.

Unlike traditional ride-hailing:

Drivers earn more, passengers get the best service.

No surge pricing, no cancellations. Ever.

A true executive experience—chauffeurs you trust, vehicles you expect.

“Our users aren’t looking for just a ride—they’re looking for a seamless, luxury experience. That’s what OUNO delivers,” Bobby told Entrepreneur.com.


The Future of Executive Travel

As OUNO continues to expand in London, across the UK, and beyond, the focus remains the same:

More elite partnerships (O2 Arena, ExCel London, ATG Theatres).

More sustainable options (70% EV adoption by 2026).

More VIP clients & business accounts.

OUNO is proving that executive ride-hailing doesn’t have to be a gamble. It should be predictable, premium, and personal.
