When hourly service is the right shape
Hourly means the vehicle stays available. Use a direct transfer when the car does not need to stay between stops.
| Choice | Fits when | Settle before booking |
|---|---|---|
| Three-hour start | You need the car for appointments, shopping or an evening with gaps. | Sedan $360 and SUV $450 all-in; S-Class from $525 and Sprinter from $600. For S-Class and Sprinter, the booking form confirms the final price. |
| Longer than three hours | The day runs past the minimum. | Ask how additional time is charged and who may approve it. |
| Two separate transfers | Both trips are fixed and the car is not needed in between. | Book them separately. Local sedan and SUV starting minimums are $130 and $160, and they are not airport fares. |
What to include in an hourly itinerary
List known addresses in order and distinguish appointment time from driving time. A day with shopping or flexible meetings can use approximate stop durations, but the starting location, passenger count and luggage should be clear. Ask whether the planned geographic range is covered by the quote.
Rates and the three-hour minimum
Published hourly rates are $120 for a sedan, $150 for an SUV, $175 for an S-Class and $200 for a Sprinter. The three-hour minimum produces totals of $360, $450, $525 and $600. Sedan and SUV hourly rates are all-in. S-Class and Sprinter are starting rates; the booking form confirms the final price. Extra time beyond the reserved hours is confirmed separately.
Changes while traveling
Agree who can add a stop or authorize more time. Notify the booking contact when the finish location or passenger count changes. Retaining the vehicle does not permit it to wait in a restricted curb area; keep a phone available when leaving an appointment so the meeting point can be coordinated.
Full day versus a daily commute
A full-day chauffeur is this hourly service held for the hours you reserve. Eight hours is $960 all-in for a sedan and $1,200 all-in for an SUV, and starts at $1,400 for an S-Class and $1,600 for a Sprinter; the booking form confirms the final price. Daily car service is a repeating scheduled trip, such as a morning commute, without keeping the car between the morning and evening ride. If you only need two fixed trips with a long gap, quote them as transfers.
When separate transfers may fit
Two fixed trips with a long interval may be better quoted as separate transfers. If the passenger needs belongings kept with the car or wants the same vehicle available throughout, say so before comparing options. Do not assume that a one-way booking includes a wait and return.
Geography and the release point
An hourly quote should say where the car is expected to go, not only how many hours you typed. A Manhattan loop and a day that reaches Westchester or the airport are different ranges. Ask the quote to cover the range you actually intend.
The release point is the address where the reservation ends. If you want the car at a dinner and then at a hotel, the hotel is the end, and the dinner wait sits inside the hours. Curb rules still apply. Retaining the vehicle does not allow it to stand in a restricted space while you are inside.
