The busy day problem
Why Hire a Chauffeur by the Hour?
Some days do not fit a single journey. Viewings across three postcodes, a shopping trip with bags to carry, appointments that run over, a lunch that turns into an afternoon. Booking a new car for every leg wastes time and money.
Taxis cannot wait outside while you are inside. Ride-hailing cars change with every booking and prices move with demand, while parking your own car in central London is slow and expensive.
Hourly hire solves it with one car and one chauffeur who stay with you all day, on your time, your route and your terms.

At a glance
Hourly Chauffeur Hire at a Glance
Hourly hire, often called as-directed hire, means the car and chauffeur are yours for the time you book. There is no fare per journey and no charge for waiting between stops.
It suits days with several stops in London. For a single journey, such as an airport run, a fixed transfer price is usually better value.

Chauffeur hire by the hour
Chauffeur Hire by the Hour: How to Plan Your Hours
Hourly hire is simple: you book the time, and the car and chauffeur are yours for it. These are the questions people ask when they plan it.
As directed chauffeur hire, explained
As directed means the chauffeur goes where you direct, in the order you choose, for the hours you book. You do not need a fixed itinerary: tell your chauffeur the next stop as the day unfolds, and they wait at each one with the car nearby.
How many hours should I book?
4 hours
The minimum. Suits two or three appointments, a shopping trip or an evening out.
6 to 8 hours
A working day of meetings or viewings, or a day out of London.
Longer days
Ask for a full-day quote, fixed in advance, with extra time at the same rate.
Not sure?
Book the hours you expect. If the day runs long, extend by the hour at the same rate.
A chauffeur by the hour or separate transfers?
If you have one journey, a fixed transfer is usually the better value. If you have three or more stops, or need the car to wait while you are inside, hourly hire is simpler: one car, one chauffeur and no meter running between appointments.
Which car for hourly hire?
Hourly hire starts from £55 per hour in a Mercedes E-Class or S-Class. The Mercedes V-Class suits groups of up to 7, and the Range Rover suits event days and trips out of town; both are priced in the booking form before you confirm.
