Hourly chauffeur service, as directed

When hourly is the cheaper choice

Point-to-point pricing wins when you know both ends of the trip. Hourly wins the moment the day has more than about three stops, or when any stop has an unknown length: a closing that might run long, a doctor's appointment, a property tour, a client dinner that turns into drinks. Instead of paying four separate pickups and waiting for a car each time, you pay for the block and the vehicle never leaves.

What as-directed means in practice

You are not locked to the itinerary you gave us. Add a stop, skip one, change the order, sit in the car and take a call for twenty minutes — the chauffeur follows your lead. Your bags, garment bags and purchases stay in the vehicle between stops. If the day runs past the booked block we continue in fifteen-minute increments at the same rate, subject to the chauffeur's hours of service.

Common hourly bookings

Board meetings and site visits across the Loop and the suburbs. A parent and a chauffeur touring five colleges in two days. Michigan Avenue shopping with a car holding the bags. Wedding-day transport for the couple. Doctor and outpatient procedure runs where someone needs to be waiting the moment you are discharged. Restaurant and theater nights where finding parking downtown is the actual problem.
