How car service by the hour works.

You book a block of time, not a single ride. For that time, the chauffeur and the car are yours. You decide where the day goes: one long meeting, five stops across Manhattan or a dinner that runs late.

The clock starts at pickup

Your time starts at the pickup time you booked. The chauffeur is there on time.

Minimums by vehicle

Escalade ESV ($120/hour), Suburban ($95/hour) and S-Class ($180/hour) carry a 3-hour minimum. Maybach ($380/hour) carries a 5-hour minimum, by quote.

Your chauffeur stays with the car

Between stops, the chauffeur stays with the car and is ready when you are. Waiting is part of your time, and your things can stay in the car.

Need more time?

Tell your chauffeur as early as you can. We can add time if the chauffeur and car are free. Extra time is billed at your car's hourly rate.

You should not need a new car every time your day moves.

Hourly service helps when you have several stops, no fixed end time, waits between appointments or plans that may change.

Multiple stops

One chauffeur for all your stops, instead of a new ride each time.

Waiting between stops

Your chauffeur waits while you are in meetings, appointments or dinner.

Flexible itinerary

Change your plans as the day goes. We adjust when we can.

Same vehicle

Leave your things in the car. The chauffeur stays with it.

Direct communication

Text or call your chauffeur any time during the day.

Simple pricing. Clear expectations.

Minimum time

3 hours for the Escalade, Suburban and S-Class. 5 hours for the Maybach.

Additional time

Extra time is billed at your car's hourly rate.

Taxes, Tolls & Gratuity

Taxes and tolls are included in our hourly rates. Tips are optional.

Cancellation Policy

Cancel 24 hours or more before pickup: free. Cancel 12 to 24 hours before: 50% of the booking. Cancel less than 12 hours before: 100%.

If the chauffeur is already there when you cancel, the full fare applies. Call us right away in that case, and we will see what we can do.

How Hourly Service Works

One chauffeur. One car. A day that can change.

Hourly service is for days when one pickup and one drop-off are not enough. Your chauffeur stays with you, so you move between stops without booking another car.

01

Pick your car.

Pick the car that fits your group, your bags and your style.

02

Book your hours.

Book at least the car's minimum, plus the time you think you need.

03

Send your plan.

Send your stops, key times and any special requests, so your chauffeur is ready.

04

Use the car all day.

Go between stops and change plans as you go. Your chauffeur stays with you.

Waiting Is Part Of The Reservation

Your chauffeur is ready while your day goes on.

With hourly service, waiting between stops is part of your time. That helps when a meeting runs long, dinner has no set end time or you have several appointments.

Meetings

Your chauffeur waits while you are in your meetings.

Dining

No need to guess a pickup time for every restaurant. Your chauffeur is already there.

Shopping

Keep the same car while you go from store to store.
