CHAUFFEUR SERVICE • HOURLY & AS-DIRECTED

Professional Chauffeur Service in Chicago

Q: Can I extend the reservation on the day?

Often, yes. If your day runs long, ask your chauffeur to stay on and we'll extend where availability allows, billed by the additional time.

Keep one trusted chauffeur for the whole day and go where the day takes you. Reserve by the hour and direct the route yourself — meetings across the Loop, an afternoon on the Magnificent Mile, dinner in the West Loop, or simply being driven while your hands stay free.

IN SHORT

What is hourly, as-directed chauffeur service?

Hourly chauffeur service is a private car and chauffeur you reserve by the hour rather than for a single point-to-point trip. You keep the same chauffeur and vehicle for the whole reservation, and you direct the route as the day unfolds. Between stops the chauffeur waits with the vehicle, so a meeting that runs long or a lunch that turns into two hours never costs you your ride. It suits any day with more than one destination — multi-stop business, shopping, dining, an occasion, or hosting a visiting client who needs to be moved around the city with no fuss.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

One chauffeur, one vehicle, your whole day.

Hourly service is built around continuity: the same chauffeur and car stay with you, waiting between stops, so the day moves at your pace instead of the meter’s.

Hourly, as-directed hire

Reserve the chauffeur for a block of hours and decide the route as you go. No fixed itinerary to lock in, no per-trip fares to stack up — the day is yours to direct.

One trusted chauffeur all day

The same professional stays with you from the first stop to the last. They learn the day's rhythm, anticipate the next move, and you never re-explain where you're going.

Wait-and-return between stops

Step out for a meeting, a fitting, or a long lunch and the chauffeur waits nearby with the vehicle. When you're ready, the car is at the curb — no re-requesting, no waiting for a match.

Discreet, professional service

Quiet, well-dressed, and unobtrusive. Conversations stay private, the cabin stays calm, and your chauffeur reads when you want to talk and when you'd rather work or rest.

Flexible multi-stop routing

Add a stop, change the order, or extend the day on the fly. The plan can shift as meetings move and reservations change without renegotiating anything.

A clean, late-model vehicle

Your reservation includes a well-kept sedan or SUV, detailed inside and out, stocked and ready. It's the same vehicle all day, so your coat and bags can stay aboard between stops.

HOW IT WORKS

Reserve the hours. Direct the day.

Booking a chauffeur by the hour takes a few minutes. From there, the route is yours to set and re-set as the day goes.

Tell us the plan and the hours

Share roughly where you’re headed, your start time, and how many hours you’d like to hold the chauffeur. A loose outline is plenty — the details can move on the day.

We assign your chauffeur and vehicle

We match a professional chauffeur and the right sedan or SUV to your party and your day, then confirm the reservation and the starting point.

They drive and wait, as directed

Your chauffeur arrives ready, takes you stop to stop, and waits with the vehicle in between. You set the route in the moment and change it whenever you need.

HOW THE HOURS WORK

How hourly, as-directed service works.

You reserve a block of hours; the chauffeur and vehicle stay yours for that block. Some days run on a loose plan and some are decided stop by stop — both work the same way.

The hours run from your scheduled start until the chauffeur is released. Driving time and waiting time are treated the same: a thirty-minute drive and a thirty-minute wait outside a meeting both count toward the reservation, because the chauffeur and vehicle are held for you either way. That’s the trade you’re buying — not a single trip, but a person and a car on standby for as long as you need them. Below are the days hourly service fits best.

A full day of business

Run a packed schedule across the Loop, River North, and the West Loop without parking hunts or rideshare gaps between meetings. Your chauffeur holds the vehicle outside each appointment, so you arrive composed and leave the moment you’re done. Work, take calls, or read between stops while someone else handles the traffic.

Shopping on the Magnificent Mile

Spend the afternoon along Michigan Avenue and Oak Street without carrying bags or circling for a spot. Your chauffeur stages nearby and loads each round of purchases into the vehicle, then drives you to the next boutique or to lunch. Everything you buy travels with you for the rest of the day.

Dining and an evening out

Move from cocktails to dinner to a nightcap with one chauffeur and no thinking about how you’ll get to the next place. A night across the West Loop, Fulton Market, or the Gold Coast stays unhurried, and the drive home at the end is already handled.

Special occasions

Anniversaries, milestone birthdays, an engagement, or a quiet celebration deserve a day that isn’t measured trip by trip. Hold the chauffeur for the whole occasion so the day flows from one moment to the next, photo stops and detours included.

Hosting visiting clients or executives

When a client or colleague flies in, give them a single chauffeur for the visit. They’re met, moved between meetings and meals, and shown the city without juggling apps or fares. It reads as care, and it keeps their schedule on time.

A day of errands and appointments

Stack the bank, the doctor, a fitting, and a few personal stops into one reserved block. Your chauffeur waits at each one, so the day gets done without the start-stop of hailing a new car every time you step outside.

THE RIGHT VEHICLE

Vehicles suited to a chauffeured day.

Riding solo or with one guest? A Mercedes-Benz S 580 or Lincoln MKZ. Moving a small group or a day of shopping? A Cadillac Escalade or Chevrolet Suburban with room for everyone and everything.

THE DIFFERENCE

Hourly chauffeur vs. per-trip rideshare.

Rideshare is built for one trip at a time. A day with several stops is where holding one chauffeur changes how the whole day feels.

	Hourly chauffeur	Per-trip rideshare
Continuity	One chauffeur and vehicle for the whole day	A different driver and car at every trip
Between stops	Waits nearby — the car is ready when you are	You re-request and wait for a new match
Pricing	Held by the hour, no surge	Per trip, with surges at peak times
Your itinerary	Your chauffeur knows the day's plan	Each driver starts from zero
Belongings	Coat and bags stay aboard between stops	Nothing stays in the car
Discretion	Professional, vetted, consistent	Whoever happens to be nearby
The vehicle	Same clean, late-model car all day	Varies trip to trip

TRANSPARENT PRICING

How hourly pricing works.

Hourly chauffeur service is billed by the time you hold the chauffeur, at an hourly rate with a minimum reservation ‹confirm›. The clock covers the chauffeur and vehicle being yours — driving and waiting alike — so you’re paying for availability across the whole block, not for each separate leg. We confirm the rate and the minimum in writing before the day begins.

No surge, no per-trip fares. Tell us your hours and we’ll confirm the rate and minimum in writing before the day starts.

THE EXPERIENCE

What a chauffeured day actually feels like.

Your chauffeur is already in position. They arrive ahead of your start time, vehicle staged and ready, and greet you at the door. From there you give the first destination and settle in — there’s no address to type, no fare to watch, and no driver to brief.

Between stops, the wait is handled. While you’re inside a meeting, a store, or a restaurant, your chauffeur holds the vehicle nearby and brings it to the curb when you reappear. Your coat, your bags, and anything you’ve bought stay aboard the same car all day.

The plan can change without friction. Add a stop, push a reservation, or extend an hour, and the day re-arranges quietly around you. By evening you’ve covered the city without once thinking about how you’d get to the next place.

GOOD TO KNOW

Hourly chauffeur questions, answered.

What is the hourly minimum?

Hourly chauffeur service is reserved with a minimum number of hours per booking ‹confirm minimum›. We confirm the exact minimum and your hourly rate in writing before the day begins.

Does the chauffeur wait between my stops?

Yes. That’s the heart of the service — your chauffeur holds the vehicle nearby while you’re at each stop and brings it to the curb when you’re ready, so you never re-request a car.

Do I keep the same chauffeur for the full day?

Yes. One chauffeur and one vehicle stay with you for the entire reservation, so they learn the day’s plan and you never have to brief someone new.

What counts toward the hours?

Both driving time and waiting time count, measured from your scheduled start until you release the chauffeur. You’re holding the chauffeur and vehicle either way, so both are billed the same.

Can the chauffeur handle multiple stops?

Yes. Hourly service is built for multi-stop days. Add stops, change the order, or rework the route in the moment — your chauffeur adapts as the day goes.

Can I extend the reservation on the day?

Often, yes ‹confirm›. If your day runs long, ask your chauffeur to stay on and we’ll extend where availability allows, billed by the additional time.

What areas do you cover?

We serve downtown Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, including the North Shore and the north, west, and south suburbs. Tell us where your day starts and where it’s likely to go.
