Hourly chauffeur

Hourly Chauffeur Service

A vehicle and chauffeur at your disposal for as long as you need them, for days with several stops, uncertain timings or a car that should simply be waiting.

Hourly chauffeur service keeps a vehicle and chauffeur with you for as long as you need them. It is the right choice when the day has several destinations, when timings are uncertain, or when you simply prefer to have the car waiting outside rather than arranging a separate pickup for each leg.

Typical uses

  • Meetings spread across downtown, Capitol Hill and Northern Virginia
  • Shopping in Georgetown, Tysons or Bethesda
  • Dinner followed by a performance or a late gathering
  • Showing visitors the city at their own pace
  • Photography sessions, site visits and property tours

How it works

Tell us where the day begins, roughly how long you expect to need the car and any known stops. Your chauffeur arrives before the start time and remains at your disposal until the end, adjusting the route as plans change. There is no need to schedule each stop in advance; the itinerary can evolve through the day.

Hourly bookings are subject to a minimum number of hours, which is shown on the Rates page along with the hourly rate for each vehicle. Time is counted from the scheduled start until the final drop-off, and tolls or parking incurred during the booking are noted separately.

Any of our vehicles may be reserved by the hour. The Escalade IQL suits groups and longer days; the Stelvio Ti suits an individual or a couple who prefer something more understated.

Requests are confirmed by the team before they are final.

Questions

Good to know

All questions
How does booking work?

Choose a service, enter your pickup and drop-off details, the date and time, and the number of passengers and bags, then submit the request. You will receive an email with a reference number. The request is pending until a member of the team reviews it, checks vehicle availability and confirms it in writing. Only a confirmed request is a booking. If anything about the trip needs clarification, we will contact you before confirming. Changes after confirmation are handled directly with the team by email or phone.

How do quotes work?

Many trips display an estimate based on published rates for the selected vehicle and service. Estimates marked as starting prices are indicative and are confirmed by the team before a booking is final. Some services, including funeral, group and custom requests, are quoted individually. For those, submit the details and we will reply with a written quote. A quote is valid for the trip described; changes to the route, timing, number of stops or passengers may change the final figure, as the Rates page explains.

What happens at pickup and drop-off?

Your chauffeur arrives a few minutes before the scheduled time and waits at the pickup address without calling attention to the car. You will receive a message with the chauffeur's name and the vehicle. On arrival at your destination, the chauffeur stops at the most convenient safe point and assists with luggage. If the building has a specific entrance or the address is hard to find, add a note to your request and the chauffeur will be briefed in advance.

Can I add an extra stop?

Yes. Add stops when you request the car so the route and timing can be planned. A brief stop along the way, such as picking up a colleague, is handled as an extra stop and priced as shown on the Rates page. Stops that involve significant waiting or a long detour may be better served by hourly service. Unplanned stops requested during the trip are accommodated when time allows and are reflected in the final total.

Can you handle last-minute requests?

Often, yes. Requests with less than the usual advance notice are reviewed as quickly as possible, subject to vehicle and chauffeur availability. For same-day trips, call us rather than relying on the form alone so we can confirm immediately. Airport pickups, early mornings and weekend evenings are the times when availability is tightest, so notice helps. A last-minute request is still pending until it has been confirmed.
