Hourly Chauffeur Hire London
A dedicated chauffeur and vehicle for your London itinerary.A Dedicated Vehicle for Your London Itinerary
Hourly chauffeur hire gives you a dedicated vehicle and professional driver for meetings, shopping, events, sightseeing and multi-stop journeys across London. This is also known as as-directed chauffeur hire: your vehicle is reserved for the agreed period rather than a single transfer. The chauffeur remains available during the confirmed hours; changes to the route are reviewed against the agreed time and mileage allowance.
Hire a Chauffeur for the Day in London
Book a dedicated chauffeur for a day of meetings, shopping, sightseeing or a special event in London. Your chauffeur stays available between stops, so you can plan the day around your itinerary.
If you only need a chauffeur for part of the day, tell us your timings and where you’d like to go. Shorter bookings may be available depending on your itinerary and vehicle availability.
Send your intended start and finish times when you enquire. Before travel, share the collection point, planned stops, passenger numbers and luggage requirements. We will recommend a suitable vehicle and confirm the booking hours and price. See our starting rates; your quotation confirms the vehicle, hours, mileage allowance and VAT-inclusive total. For other private travel options, explore our London Lifestyle Chauffeur Service.
For first-class comfort, view our Mercedes-Benz S-Class; for groups and additional luggage, explore the Mercedes-Benz V-Class.
Same-day chauffeur hire enquiries
For a same-day booking, contact our team with the collection time, addresses, planned stops, passengers and luggage. We check chauffeur and vehicle availability before confirming the arrangement. Please send the complete itinerary when enquiring. For an investor or executive meeting programme, see our financial roadshow chauffeur service.
What Hourly Chauffeur Hire Includes
Your booking reserves a chauffeur and selected vehicle for the agreed period, covering meetings, shopping, restaurants, events or sightseeing within the confirmed time and distance allowance. The chauffeur remains available between stops.
We review the itinerary before travel, allowing for traffic, waiting and driving time. Extra hours, parking and mileage follow the agreed terms. For one simple journey, request a fixed-price transfer instead.
Professional Chauffeurs and the Right Vehicle
Choose a business saloon, first-class S-Class or BMW 7 Series, Mercedes-Benz V-Class for additional space, or Range Rover Autobiography. We recommend a category around passengers, luggage and the itinerary.
Our PCO-licensed chauffeurs are professionally presented and experienced with multi-stop schedules. Dispatch supports authorised updates during the booking. Tell us about accessibility needs, child seats or unusual luggage before confirming your vehicle.
Book a chauffeur by the hour or for the day
Your chauffeur and vehicle are allocated for the confirmed period, including waiting between agreed stops. Send your date, starting time, collection address, passenger numbers, luggage, planned stops and preferred finish time through our hourly chauffeur quote form.
What will my quotation confirm?
Prices include VAT. Before payment, we confirm the total, vehicle category, agreed hours, mileage allowance, parking arrangements and any other applicable charges. Tell us about travel outside London or a different final destination so the quotation covers the intended itinerary. Direct airport and point-to-point journeys are quoted separately from hourly hire.
Can I extend the booking or change the start time?
Request a longer booking period in advance when possible. Extra hours and changes to the start time depend on chauffeur and vehicle availability and must be agreed with dispatch. An extension is not guaranteed after the confirmed finish time. Any additional time, mileage or parking is handled under the agreed booking terms.
For a day focused on attractions, explore private London sightseeing tours. For a schedule of business meetings, see our corporate chauffeur service. Choose a vehicle using our chauffeur fleet guide and include all passengers and luggage when requesting your quote.
An example of a six-hour itinerary
A hotel collection, two meetings, a lunch stop and a final drop-off can be assessed as one continuous booking. Waiting between stops forms part of the agreed hire period; it does not pause the clock. Send the required arrival time for each appointment so the team can check whether the route fits the requested hours. This is an illustrative sequence, not a guaranteed number of stops.
Use our multi-meeting itinerary planning guide to prepare the schedule. If you need only one fixed journey, request a direct transfer instead.
