Hourly chauffeur service — also called as-directed service — keeps a professional chauffeur and vehicle with you for a set block of time, so you move between meetings, appointments, and stops without rebooking. It is built for corporate travellers, executive assistants, family offices, production teams, event planners, roadshow teams, groups, and private clients who need a car that waits and adapts to a changing schedule.

You reserve online or by phone, your vehicle class is locked for the whole booking, and the same car stays with you all day. Wait time between stops is included, and if the day runs long you extend in 30-minute increments at the same rate — no app, no new dispatch call.

Why hourly

Why book by the hour

Your car waits between stops

The vehicle stays with you between appointments — no rebooking, no hailing a new car at every destination, no waiting on the curb.

Extend on the spot

Past the minimum, add time in 30-minute increments simply by telling your chauffeur. No app, no dispatch call.

One class, one all-inclusive price

Your vehicle class is locked for the booking, wait time is built in, and rates are quoted all-inclusive of tolls, parking, and fuel with no surge.

Change the plan mid-day

Add stops, change destinations, or adjust timing as the day unfolds — the service is built to absorb a schedule that moves.

Same chauffeur, same car

One vetted chauffeur and one vehicle for the whole booking, so nothing resets between stops and your preferences carry through the day.

Corporate-ready billing

Consolidated monthly invoicing itemised by ride, NET-30 terms, and a dedicated contact for teams booking recurring as-directed days.

When to book it

When hourly service is the right choice

Hourly is the right call whenever your day does not follow a single fixed route.

Multi-stop meeting days

Several stops with the vehicle waiting between them, so you move on your schedule rather than the next available car's.

Investor roadshows & IR days

Back-to-back meetings across Midtown, Downtown, and the Financial District with a discreet, dedicated car.

Executive & family-office travel

Schedules that may shift through the day, and principals who want a car retained quietly on standby.

Production days

Move crew and equipment between locations, with a vehicle and chauffeur on hand the whole shoot day.

Events, dining & appointments

Galas, dinners, shopping, and personal itineraries where you want a car waiting, not re-summoned.

Airport-plus-meeting days

Combine an airport pickup with onward stops in one booking instead of stringing together separate rides.

If you only need a single pickup and drop-off on a fixed schedule with no waiting — an airport departure, for example — point-to-point is the simpler, lower-cost choice.

2

3

Meet your chauffeur

4

Inclusions

Inclusions, extras, and responsibilities

Included in the hourly rate

Professional chauffeur, tolls (including the Manhattan congestion-zone toll), parking, fuel, wait time between stops, in-vehicle WiFi and USB charging, and bottled water. Taxes and fees included; no surge.

Confirm at booking

Child seats ($25 per seat, 48 hours' notice), accessibility needs, larger-party Sprinters, and any airport pickup within the booking.

Potential extras

Your part

Provide accurate details, keep a phone reachable for day-of coordination, and flag routing beyond the core service area ahead of time.

Manhattan's Congestion Relief Zone toll is set by the MTA; it is treated as a toll and already sits inside your all-inclusive hourly quote, so it is not billed separately.

FAQ

Hourly chauffeur service FAQs

It is a booking in which a chauffeur and vehicle are retained for a block of time rather than a single trip. You set the stops, timing, and pace, and the same vehicle stays with you between destinations, so you never rebook between appointments. It is the practical choice for multi-stop days, roadshows, and any schedule that may shift once it is underway.
