Go Anywhere, As Directed

What Determines Your Flat Hourly Rate
Hourly service is billed at one flat rate per hour, confirmed when you reserve. No surge, no hidden airport, fuel or peak-time fees — here is exactly what shapes your quote.
Vehicle Class
An executive sedan, a full-size Escalade ESV, or a 12-passenger Sprinter each carry a different flat hourly rate.
Number of Hours
Billed in whole-hour blocks from a typical 3-hour minimum; longer days are quoted as one continuous rate.
Mileage & Distance
In-city hourly days are all-inclusive; long-distance runs (e.g. LA to Palm Springs) factor the extra miles into your quote.
Region
Service across LA, Orange County, San Diego, Palm Springs, Santa Barbara and Las Vegas — quoted transparently up front.
Add-Ons
Child seats, meet & greet, additional stops or special requests are confirmed in the quote — never sprung on you later.
No Surge, Ever
Peak hours, late nights and high-demand dates do not change your rate. What you book is what you pay.
Policies & Details
Clear Terms, No Surprises
Minimum & Billing
A typical 3-hour minimum, then billed in whole-hour increments. The same flat hourly rate applies to every hour of your booking.

Extensions
Need more time on the day? With 24/7 dispatch, extensions are usually arranged on the spot at the same hourly rate, subject to availability.
Cancellation
Flexible cancellation windows vary by vehicle and date. Your exact terms are shown and confirmed at the time of booking — no surprises.
Child Seats
Infant, convertible and booster seats available on request — just add the children's ages when you reserve.

Common Situations
How a Real Hourly Day Plays Out
A few of the situations clients book hourly service for — and exactly how it works.
A day of back-to-back meetings
Your chauffeur holds the car downstairs between every meeting across Century City, Downtown and Santa Monica, so you arrive composed and never hunt for parking or a ride.
Flight lands, then three more stops
Meet & greet at LAX, a hotel check-in, a dinner reservation and a late pickup — all on one booking, with the same vehicle and chauffeur the entire evening.
A wedding that has to run on time
Bridal party, family shuttles and the getaway car coordinated to the minute, with immaculate vehicles staged and ready before each cue.
A discreet day for a high-profile guest
A blacked-out SUV, an discreet chauffeur and a low-profile route — privacy and security from pickup to the final stop, with nothing discussed afterward.
Wine country, no designated driver
A relaxed run through Santa Ynez or Malibu where you taste and your chauffeur drives, waits and brings everyone home safely.
A multi-car investor roadshow
Several vehicles moving partners between meetings on a synchronized schedule, coordinated by a single 24/7 dispatch desk.
