contact the chauffeur drive company and negotiate. You can mention that instead of 3 cars you need a slightly longer distance. It depends on how 'flexible' they are. Might ask you to sign for 2 cars even if you take only one out of 3 available.
Now before I get shot down saying that its fraud etc let me explain.
1.You are already paying for the chauffeur drive as its included in the cost of your ticket.
2. EK pays the local chauffeur drive company on the basis of the number of cars booked by EK J /F pax at the particular destination
3.If you are eligible for 3 cars and then negotiate with the cab company for one car for longer distance(might have to sign for two cars) then
You save money as you don't have to pay the excess
The chauffeur drive company saves money as they are using one car instead of 2
EK saves money as they have to pay for only 2 cars instead of 3
And everyones a winner.
