Hourly Charter
An hourly charter is the most flexible service we offer. The car is yours for the booked window — no fixed route, no predetermined stops, no per-mile meter. Tell the chauffeur where to go next, or change your mind en route. The clock runs; the car follows.
Clients use hourly charters for multi-meeting days, house-hunting tours, wine-country drives, out-of-town-guest sightseeing, and any itinerary that is best described as “I’ll know when I get there.” The three-hour minimum keeps the service substantive; most clients book four to eight hours.
