Wheely operates a luxury-focused ride-hailing service that connects vetted chauffeur drivers with riders across tiered vehicle classes. The app is live in London, Moscow and St. Petersburg, with plans to launch in Paris this summer. The company works with third-party partners rather than employing drivers and takes a 20% commission on each ride. Wheely enforces a strict recruitment process requiring at least three years of chauffeur experience and multiple tests; only one in four UberBlack drivers pass its exam. It works with about 3,500 drivers and offers three classes (E‑Class, S‑Class and V‑Class vans) with minimum fares of £12, £16 and £40 respectively. Wheely reports a run rate of $80 million in gross bookings and represents roughly 11% of gross bookings in London.
