Your time, your stops
With an hourly booking, also called "as directed" service, a car and chauffeur are yours for a set number of hours. Your chauffeur picks you up, takes you wherever you need to go, waits outside while you are in your meeting, shop or restaurant, and takes you on to the next place. You never wait for a new car and never need to explain the plan to a different driver.
Hourly rides cost $70 per hour in a Sedan and $90 per hour in an SUV, with a 2-hour minimum. Each booked hour includes 10 miles of driving, which covers almost any day in Manhattan, Brooklyn or Queens. Stops are free.
People book hourly chauffeurs for roadshows and client visits, for a day of appointments, for weddings and galas, for showing family around the city, and for nights out where nobody wants to drive or wait on the street for a ride home.

How many hours to book
Count from your pickup time to the moment you are dropped off for the last time, and add a little room for traffic. A dinner and a show in Midtown is usually 4 to 5 hours. A day of meetings across Manhattan is often 6 to 8. A wedding, with photos at a second location, is typically 4 to 6.
Plans change. You can add hours on the website or in the app up to 1 hour before pickup. During the ride, if you run more than 15 minutes past the time you booked, the extra time is charged to the card you booked with, as set out in our Terms.
Built for busy days
For business travel, an hourly chauffeur turns a day of back-to-back meetings into something manageable: your bags stay in the car, you can take calls in private between stops, and your chauffeur is waiting when you walk out.
For events, an SUV seats up to 6, so a group can arrive together and leave together. For a night out, it means one safe ride home at the end, whatever time that turns out to be within your booking.

Hourly chauffeur questions
What is the minimum booking?
2 hours. Shorter bookings are charged as 2 hours, so for a single direct ride a point-to-point booking is usually cheaper.
How many miles are included?
10 miles for every hour you book, so 20 miles on a 2-hour booking. Miles beyond that are charged at $3 per mile in a Sedan and $4 per mile in an SUV.
Are stops included?
Yes. On an hourly ride you can stop as often as you like within your booked time, and your chauffeur waits for you at each stop at no extra charge.
What happens if I need more time?
Add hours on the website or in the app up to 1 hour before pickup. If the ride runs more than 15 minutes past your booked time, the extra time is charged to your card.
Can I use an hourly chauffeur for an airport run with errands?
Yes. If you want stops on the way to or from JFK, LaGuardia or Newark, an hourly booking lets you plan them freely. For a direct airport ride, our flat airport rates are usually better value.
Is this the same as a limo by the hour?
It is the same service, a private chauffeur at your disposal by the hour, in a luxury Sedan or SUV rather than a stretch limousine.
