Chauffeur by the hourHourly Chauffeur Service in London – A Car and Driver, As Directed
Book a chauffeur by the hour and keep the car at your disposal: your driver takes you wherever you need to go and waits between stops.
Rates start from £55 an hour for an executive car, with the price shown in the booker before you confirm.
Pay for the time, not each journey
Hourly hire, sometimes called as-directed hire, is the simplest way to cover a few hours with several stops. Instead of booking each leg separately, you book the car for a set time and tell your chauffeur where to go as you go. There is no waiting charge, because waiting is what you have booked.
It suits a morning of meetings, an afternoon of shopping, a hospital appointment with a wait, or an evening out with dinner and a show. If your plans run over, simply ask your chauffeur to stay longer, and the extra time is charged at the same hourly rate.
- From £55 an hour
- Waiting between stops included
- Change the plan as you go
- Extend on the day at the same rate
- Free cancellation up to 3 hours before pick-up
