Rush hour traffic in Yangon, Myanmar.
The most present security-related threat to expatriates and business travelers in Yangon is the threat of a traffic accident. Traffic congestion, and errant drivers are on the rise as Yangon struggles to build infrastructure fast enough to accommodate the influx of vehicles. In fact, an estimated 98% of vehicles are right-hand drive, driving on the right-hand side of the road; this presents fundamental safety concerns even when attempting to overtake a vehicle.
Scipio Services offers personal drivers to expatriate staff living and working in Myanmar, or for the short-term business traveler.
Our driver services cater exclusively to clients seeking a luxury vehicle (luxury SUVs, Vans, or sedans) with an emphasis on their protection. Our drivers have had additional training in tactical driving and emergency vehicle operation, emergency first response, and fire safety and extinguisher use. In addition to our driver service, a close protection officer, bodyguard, is optional. GPS-tracking, and Panic button with response is also an option.
Specific to Myanmar, we provide situation reports, a lengthy country introduction guide, and useful emergency contacts. Furthermore, an expatriate staff will be in contact and available to you for the duration of your stay; whether that's a day or a year.

Driver Services in Myanmar for the expatriate staff

Four main advantages to Scipio’s Driver Service:
1) Scipio provides you with the assurance and peace of mind knowing you are dealing with a foreign-managed, fully insured, locally incorporated company.
2) Each driver is a trained Emergency First Responder (EFR). The emergency first response certification course is comprised of three levels of learning: independent study of a training manual to learn and review materials; instructional DVD to help reinforce knowledge; and instructor-led activities, scenarios, and skills trainings offering hands on application of knowledge.
3) Each driver is trained in Fire Safety and Extinguisher Use. When a fire occurs, your driver will know the location and use of each piece of your fire equipment. Instead of relying on intuition, your driver will have the memory recall of their training thereby increasing the response time and potentially avoiding a catastrophe.
4) We would also like to emphasize that Scipio exceeds the compliance of Myanmar labor law and offers all employees and contractors above-average remuneration, medical benefits, worker’s compensation, and advanced training, because we believe that our employee’s financial security must be met, so they can thoughtfully tend to your safety and security.
Our clients share our values, recognize these four advantages as important, and expect a premium service.
