Private security and bodyguard in Europe

Private security and bodyguard services in Europe for those who travel with privacy in mind: personal protection, a car with driver, event security and bug sweeping, with a single point of contact from Milan to London, from the Côte d'Azur to the Alps.

Rial Rent arranges private security services in Europe: bodyguard, security driver, event security and counter-surveillance bug sweeping, from Milan to Paris, London, Monte Carlo and Ibiza. The protection is provided by a specialised protection partner; Rial Rent coordinates cars, drivers, transfers and airport assistance. After your request you receive a proposal with terms and a quote.

Discreet protection, planned before you arrive

Europe welcomes entrepreneurs, families, artists and international guests who look for privacy during a stay, across fashion capitals, art cities, rivieras and Alpine resorts. With Rial Rent you can arrange private security services built around your days: personal protection with a bodyguard, a security driver, security for private events and counter-surveillance bug sweeping. A specialised protection partner describes its work as a “personal Secret Service” rather than a bodyguard service: risk analysis before the service, planned movements, a discreet presence. It is an approach designed for people who want to move without drawing attention.

The destinations with a dedicated page are Milan, Rome, Florence, Venice, Lake Como, Costa Smeralda, Paris, Monte Carlo, Cannes, Saint-Tropez, Courchevel, Geneva, St. Moritz, London, Ibiza and Marbella; for other cities, write to us and the request is assessed case by case. Some periods call for more notice: the fashion weeks in Milan and Paris, the Cannes Film Festival in May, the Monaco Grand Prix between May and June, summer on the Riviera, in Costa Smeralda and in the Balearics, winter in the Alps. In Milan, the next dates are EICMA, from 5 to 8 November 2026, Milano Moda Uomo from 15 to 19 January 2027, Milano Moda Donna from 23 February to 1 March 2027, and the Salone del Mobile with Euroluce from 13 to 18 April 2027.

Rial Rent, based in Milan, is your point of contact. It gathers your request, coordinates car, driver, transfers and airport welcome, and shares the request with the partner. The partner assesses the risk profile and carries out the protection under its own responsibility. The price is always by quote, because it depends on duration, number of operatives, movements and level of confidentiality. Availability and operating arrangements are confirmed case by case, destination by destination, in compliance with the law of the country where the service takes place. Nothing is taken for granted: before you confirm, you receive the full proposal.

Bug sweeping

A technical check of hotel suites, offices, meeting rooms, villas, cars, yachts and jets to detect listening devices before negotiations and private meetings.

From request to service

  1. Send your request

    Tell us the cities, dates, locations, number of people and level of confidentiality. You can write on WhatsApp or call: Rial Rent is your single point of contact.

  2. Assessment by the partner

    The partner analyses the risk profile and the protection needs in each destination before defining the service.

  3. Proposal and quote

    You receive the terms of the service and a quote. You confirm only after you have reviewed them.

  4. Coordinated service

    Rial Rent coordinates car, driver and airport welcome; the partner carries out the protection. For any change of plan you have one point of contact.

Who it is for

  • Entrepreneurs and executives travelling in Europe for negotiations, trade fairs and private meetings
  • Families and international guests staying in luxury hotels, villas and chalets
  • Figures from entertainment, fashion and sport with public engagements

Who provides the service

The protection activities described on these pages are carried out by a specialised protection partner. The partner states that its team has experience in the armed forces, police forces and special units and in protecting prominent individuals, with training in tactical first aid, and a method based on risk analysis before the service and on encrypted communications.

The roles are distinct. The partner carries out the protection under its own responsibility. Rial Rent, based in Milan, coordinates mobility and logistics: cars, drivers, transfers and airport assistance, in the cities where it delivers its luxury cars. You keep a single point of contact, from your request to the end of the service.

Questions about private security and bodyguards in Europe

Is it legal to have a private bodyguard in Europe?

Yes, in compliance with the law of the country where the service takes place, which varies from state to state. Personal protection is arranged on request: a specialised protection partner sets out the terms and conditions in the proposal and carries out the service under its own responsibility, while Rial Rent coordinates cars, drivers and transfers.

Are the bodyguards armed?

Not in the services described here: Rial Rent does not offer or promise services with armed personnel. The protection described on these pages relies on risk analysis, planned movements and a discreet presence. The use of weapons is governed by the law of each country and subject to specific authorisation from the authorities. If you have particular needs, describe them in your request: the partner assesses them case by case.

Can I have a police escort?

No, not as a service you can buy. In Italy, a state escort is assigned by the competent authorities, through the Ministry of the Interior (UCIS), to people exposed to risk; in other European countries the decision rests with the national authorities. A private protection service is something else: it is arranged on request with a specialised protection partner and neither replaces nor equals a state escort.

How much does a bodyguard cost in Europe?

It depends on the case: the price of a bodyguard is set by quote. The length of the service, the number of operatives, the risk profile, the destination and the planned movements all matter. After your request the partner assesses your needs and you receive a proposal with terms and cost, to be confirmed before any commitment.

How far in advance should I book?

As early as possible, especially in the busiest periods: the fashion weeks in Milan and Paris, the Cannes Festival in May, the Monaco Grand Prix between May and June, summer on the Riviera, in Costa Smeralda and in Ibiza, winter in Courchevel and St. Moritz. In Milan, the next dates are Milano Moda Uomo from 15 to 19 January 2027, Milano Moda Donna from 23 February to 1 March 2027 and the Salone del Mobile with Euroluce from 13 to 18 April 2027. For urgent needs, contact us anyway: availability is checked case by case.

Who provides the service: Rial Rent or a specialised protection partner?

The protection is carried out by the partner, under its own responsibility. Rial Rent, based in Milan, coordinates cars, drivers, transfers and airport assistance and remains your single point of contact. The responsibilities are distinct and are set out clearly in the proposal.

In which cities can I request the service?

The dedicated pages cover Milan, Rome, Florence, Venice, Lake Como, Costa Smeralda, Paris, Monte Carlo, Cannes, Saint-Tropez, Courchevel, Geneva, St. Moritz, London, Ibiza and Marbella. For other cities, write to us: the request is assessed case by case and availability is confirmed in the proposal.

Which private security services can I request in Europe?

Four: personal protection with a bodyguard, a security driver, security for private events and bug sweeping (TSCM). They can be requested individually or combined with luxury cars, airport transfers and a welcome with VIP Assistance.

What should I include to receive a proposal?

The cities and dates of your trip, locations and movements, the number of people to be protected, the profile and level of confidentiality required, your preferred language and any additional services such as a car, a driver or airport assistance. The more precise the request, the more accurate the proposal. If some details are not yet settled, write to us anyway: we will complete them together.

A confidential request, a proposal before any commitment

Share the essential details of your trip and of the cities you will visit. Rial Rent gathers the information and passes it to the partner, who assesses the risk profile and your protection needs. Before you confirm, you receive a proposal setting out how the service would work, together with a quote.

  • Cities and destinations of your trip
  • Dates and times of the service
  • Locations and movements in each city
  • Number of people to be protected
  • Profile and level of confidentiality required
  • Preferred language for communication
  • Additional services: car, driver, airport assistance

Services on request. Protection services are provided directly by a specialised protection partner, under its own responsibility. Rial Rent coordinates mobility and logistics. Availability and operating arrangements are confirmed case by case, destination by destination, in compliance with the law of the country where the service takes place.
