How Much Does a Luxury Concierge Cost?
How much does a luxury concierge cost?
At Algoz, membership runs from free Client Access to EUR 63,000 per year at the Nobility tier, with Guild at EUR 6,000, Elite at EUR 18,000 and Shield Society at EUR 36,000 a year in between, all billed annually. Work taken outside membership is quoted per engagement after a short consultation, always with a written proposal and one figure per line, confirmed before you pay. Where the brief carries security, close protection starts from EUR 950 per officer per standard 12-hour day in Europe, GBP 850 in the UK, CHF 1,000 in Switzerland, USD 850 in the United States, AED 2,800 in the UAE, USD 1,200 in Turkey (eight-hour day), USD 1,400 in Japan, USD 1,200 in South East Asia and USD 750 in the Middle East outside the UAE, South America, Brazil, Morocco and South Africa. A security driver and vehicle are quoted as their own line. Most of the famous houses publish none of this. The sections below explain each number and what moves it.
The industry hides its pricing. We publish ours.
Search “how much does a luxury concierge cost” and you will find a wall of application forms, interview processes and “pricing on request”. The great concierge houses treat their fees as a secret to be revealed only once you are already halfway through the door. Algoz takes the opposite view: a client who can compare openly chooses better, and a house confident in its value has no reason to hide the number.
This page sets out our published membership pricing from the entry plan to the highest tier, explains how individual engagements are quoted, shows what the protection element costs when a brief carries one, and answers plainly what the famous clubs will not: what this actually costs.
What an Algoz membership costs.
| Tier | Annual fee | Discount on standard rates | What it carries | Built for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Client Access | Free, on application | None: standard service rates, quoted per request | Full Algoz app access; browse and request every service; nothing to commit to | A way into the Algoz world without a full membership |
| Guild | EUR 6,000 / year | 10% | Concierge Chat; priority over non-members; close protection on demand; executive and VIP travel coordination; priority concierge response | Reliable access, priority over non-members and protection on demand |
| Elite | EUR 18,000 / year | 15% | Everything in Guild; dedicated personal agent; priority concierge response | Frequent travellers who want one agent who already knows their standards |
| Shield Society | EUR 36,000 / year | 20% | Everything in Elite; urgent agent on call; VIP event coordination; luxury lifestyle management | High-profile principals who need security-led coordination at every step |
| Nobility | EUR 63,000 / year | 30% | Everything in Shield Society; crisis protocol; evacuation planning; fully bespoke, shaped around you | Absolute discretion and a service built entirely around one principal |
| Personal Assistant | EUR 3,600 / year | 10% | App access and Concierge Chat; concierge requests; destination briefings; executive transport booking; dedicated Relationship Manager; priority messaging on WhatsApp and Telegram | The assistant or private office curating every detail for a principal |
| Business | From EUR 2,400 / year or arranged to fit the business |
10% | App access and Concierge Chat; concierge requests; destination briefings; executive transport booking; dedicated Relationship Manager; personalised access for businesses | Companies serving demanding clients |
All annual memberships are subject to availability and approval and are billed annually; Client Access is free. The discount applies to standard service rates and is already inside the figure you receive. From Guild to Nobility, each tier carries everything in the tier below it; the Personal Assistant and Business plans are separate. The full benefit lists are on the membership page. Which model suits you follows from frequency: occasional requests fit Client Access or a per-engagement brief; regular travel fits Guild or Elite; a security-led life fits Shield Society or Nobility.
Lifestyle management fees: how they are structured.
Many houses sell lifestyle management as a retainer whose figure is disclosed only on application. Luxury lifestyle management is a benefit of the Shield Society tier at EUR 36,000 a year and the Nobility tier at EUR 63,000 a year, billed annually, with an urgent agent on call, VIP event coordination and, at Nobility, crisis protocol and evacuation planning; the dedicated personal agent comes with the tier from Elite upward.
Each trip or request is then quoted on its own: the concierge fee and the things arranged, the villa, the yacht, the table, the driver, each as a separate line, one figure per line, confirmed before you pay. Your tier’s discount applies to standard service rates and is already inside the figure you receive. Outside membership, lifestyle management is handled brief by brief, each with a written proposal. We publish no monthly or hourly lifestyle management figure.
What a Single Engagement Costs
Outside membership, every brief is quoted individually after a short consultation: a villa week in the Balearics, a fashion-week itinerary, a table that officially does not exist. We publish no per-request figures for one honest reason: no two briefs are alike, and any single number would mislead in both directions. What you receive instead is a written proposal with one figure per line, confirmed before you pay. Give us at least seven days, and earlier is better. We will always look at shorter notice, but anything under 48 hours is an urgency case: additional fees, and never a guarantee.
Request a proposalWhen Protection Is Part of the Brief
Much of our concierge work carries a security element, and that part of the price is not a mystery either. A qualified close protection officer starts from €950 per officer per standard 12-hour day in Europe, GBP 850 in the UK, CHF 1,000 in Switzerland, USD 850 in the United States, AED 2,800 in the UAE, USD 1,200 in Turkey (eight-hour day), USD 1,400 in Japan, USD 1,200 in South East Asia and USD 750 in the Middle East outside the UAE, South America, Brazil, Morocco and South Africa: the base for a vetted, trained and, wherever the country licenses the work, locally licensed professional. A security driver and vehicle are quoted as their own line. Armed cover follows the law of each country: standard and included in the rate in the United States and Brazil, and not available in the UK or Japan. Italy issues no bodyguard licence, so officers there are vetted and unarmed as a rule. Elsewhere armed cover is arranged only on request, with at least 30 days’ notice, and it may be refused; in the UAE it depends on the local permits for the specific assignment and is never promised. The full picture, country by country, is in our protection pricing guide.
How much does a bodyguard cost?What does Quintessentially cost, and how do the big clubs price?
Quintessentially, Knightsbridge Circle, John Paul, Ten Lifestyle: the great membership houses are impressive businesses, and for the right client sometimes the right answer. None of them publishes its pricing; fees are disclosed on application, sometimes only after an interview. That is a commercial choice, not an accident, and it means you cannot compare before committing. Our full, honest comparison, including where those houses are the better answer, is written down for you to read.
How Algoz ComparesWhat drives concierge cost up.
The Calendar
August in Sardinia, New Year in Courchevel, Grand Prix week in Monaco. When the whole world wants the same ten days, everything underneath the request costs more.
Scarcity of the Door
A table that can be booked is priced like a table. A table that requires a relationship is priced like the relationship. The rarer the door, the more it costs to open.
Headcount
Twelve guests are not four. Every additional guest multiplies transport, staffing, reservations and the coordination that keeps all of it invisible.
Multi-City Movements
Each added city brings local providers, logistics and a handover that must be seamless. One city is an arrangement; four cities are an operation.
Compression
Compression has a price: options narrow and premiums appear as the calendar shortens. At least seven days is the ask; under 48 hours is an urgency case with additional fees and no guarantee. Early briefs buy better terms.
Protection Element
When the brief carries protection, qualified officers join at the close protection day rate, from €950 per officer in Europe. Multi-officer teams, and armed cover arranged on request, are quoted to the brief; driver and vehicle are their own line.
What Algoz Group Delivers
One senior team that handles access, reservations, transport and security together for HNWI and UHNWI clients worldwide, briefed once, accountable for everything. The same people who book the table have vetted the route to it. Published pricing, written proposals and a dedicated agent at the higher tiers. Assistants, chiefs of staff and family offices hold the relationship for many of our principals; the standard does not change.

Luxury Concierge Costs - Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a luxury concierge cost?
Most houses keep this private; Algoz publishes it. Membership runs from free Client Access to the Nobility tier at EUR 63,000 per year, with Guild at EUR 6,000, Elite at EUR 18,000 and Shield Society at EUR 36,000 per year between them, all billed annually. Individual requests outside membership are quoted per engagement after a short consultation, with a written proposal and one figure per line before anything is confirmed.
Is a concierge membership worth it?
For occasional requests, honestly, no: a per-engagement brief or Client Access, free on application, serves you better, and we will say so. For those who travel or entertain regularly, membership pays for itself quickly: priority handling, a dedicated contact, continuity and a rising discount on standard service rates frequently return the annual fee within a single trip.
What does Quintessentially cost?
Quintessentially does not publish its membership pricing; fees are disclosed on application, and the same is true of most big-name concierge clubs. Algoz takes the opposite approach: our tiers are published, from free Client Access to EUR 63,000 per year, so you can compare openly before you ever speak to us.
How much does a personal concierge cost per month?
Algoz membership is billed annually, not monthly, so there is no monthly figure to quote. The annual fees are Guild at EUR 6,000, Elite at EUR 18,000, Shield Society at EUR 36,000 and Nobility at EUR 63,000 per year, and Client Access is free, on application. Requests outside membership are quoted per engagement, in writing, rather than on a monthly retainer.
What are lifestyle management fees, and what does Algoz charge?
A lifestyle management fee is what a concierge house charges to run a principal’s day-to-day life, often as a retainer disclosed only on application. At Algoz, luxury lifestyle management is a benefit of the Shield Society tier at EUR 36,000 a year and the Nobility tier at EUR 63,000 a year, billed annually, with a dedicated personal agent, an urgent agent on call and VIP event coordination. Each trip or request is quoted on its own, the concierge fee and every service as a separate line, confirmed before you pay; the member discount on standard service rates is already inside the figure you receive.
Do I need a membership to use Algoz?
No. Many clients engage us on a per-engagement basis, with each brief quoted individually after consultation. Membership adds priority over non-members, continuity, a dedicated contact at the higher tiers and preferential rates: it is an advantage, never a requirement.
What is included in a luxury concierge membership?
It scales by tier. Guild opens the network: Concierge Chat, priority over non-members, close protection on demand and a 10 per cent discount on standard service rates. Elite adds a dedicated personal agent and 15 per cent. Shield Society adds an urgent agent on call, VIP event coordination, luxury lifestyle management and 20 per cent. Nobility is fully bespoke, with crisis protocol, evacuation planning and 30 per cent. The complete benefit lists are on our membership page.
How much does a concierge with close protection cost?
When an engagement includes close protection, a qualified officer starts from EUR 950 per officer per standard 12-hour day in Europe, GBP 850 in the UK, CHF 1,000 in Switzerland, USD 850 in the United States, AED 2,800 in the UAE, USD 1,200 in Turkey (eight-hour day), USD 1,400 in Japan, USD 1,200 in South East Asia and USD 750 in the Middle East outside the UAE, South America, Brazil, Morocco and South Africa. A security driver and vehicle are quoted as their own line. Armed cover is standard and included in the rate in the United States and Brazil, and not available in the UK or Japan. Italy issues no bodyguard licence, so officers there are vetted and unarmed as a rule. Elsewhere armed cover is arranged only on request, with at least 30 days’ notice, and it may be refused; in the UAE it depends on the local permits for the specific assignment and is never promised.
Why do two similar concierge requests cost different amounts?
Because the variables underneath them differ: the season, the scarcity of the access required, the size of the party, the number of cities in the itinerary, the lead time available and whether a protection element is attached. Every proposal states one figure per line, in writing, before you commit.
Can my assistant or family office hold the membership?
Yes. The Personal Assistant plan at EUR 3,600 per year is built for the assistant or private office curating every detail for a principal, and the Business plan, from EUR 2,400 per year or arranged to fit the business, serves companies managing demanding clients. Both include a dedicated Relationship Manager.
How quickly does Algoz respond with a price?
You have a reply within 24 hours, sooner for members and known clients, and the proposal follows in writing. For the arrangement itself, seven days is the minimum we ask for, and more is better: inside that week the brief is vetted, the right people are assigned and released from other work, and the advance work on routes, venues and access is done properly. We will always look at shorter notice, but under 48 hours is an urgency case: it carries additional fees and it cannot be guaranteed. Armed protection arranged on request needs at least 30 days for authorisation, which may be refused; in the United States and Brazil officers are armed as standard.
