How Hourly Service Works

Step 01

Tell Us Your Schedule

Book online or call with your pickup time, number of hours, and a rough itinerary. We do not need exact addresses, just the general plan.

Step 02

Vehicle & Driver Assigned

We match the right vehicle to your group size and needs. Your chauffeur is confirmed 24 hours in advance with contact details sent to you.

Step 03

As-Directed Service

Your driver follows your lead. Stop wherever you want, change the plan mid-trip, take a longer lunch. The vehicle is yours for the full booking window.

Step 04

Final Drop-Off

When you are done, your chauffeur drops you at your final destination. If you finish early, you finish early. If you need to extend, call dispatch and we add time at the same hourly rate.

Hourly service pairs naturally with our other transportation offerings. Many clients combine a half-day hourly booking with an O'Hare airport drop-off at the end of a business day.

Hourly Car Service Questions

Cadillac Escalade ESV is $175 per hour (3-hour min). The Sprinter Limo is $189 per hour (4-hour min) and stretch limousines $205 per hour (4-hour min). Rates include the chauffeur, vehicle, tolls, and wait time. Mon–Thu: save 10% automatically. Rates before fuel, admin & card fees. Gratuity optional, never added automatically.

What is the minimum number of hours for hourly car service?

Sedans, SUVs and the Premium Escalade have a 3-hour minimum. Stretch limousines and Sprinter vans have a 4-hour minimum. If your trip takes less than the minimum, you are still billed for the minimum. Most clients book 3-5 hours for a typical corporate or personal itinerary.

Can I change my itinerary during the booking?

Yes. Hourly service is as-directed, meaning your chauffeur follows your lead. Add a stop, skip a stop, change the order, extend the booking. The only thing that changes the price is total time. No route fees, no per-stop charges, no re-booking.

What happens if I go over my booked hours?

If you need more time, call our dispatch line and we extend your booking at the same hourly rate. There is no overtime surcharge. We bill in 30-minute increments after the initial booking window. Your chauffeur stays with you until the extended time ends.

Do you offer full-day or multi-day hourly rates?

Yes. Full-day bookings (8+ hours) and multi-day bookings (2+ consecutive days) receive volume pricing. A typical full-day sedan rate is approximately $600-$650. Call (224) 801-3090 for a custom quote based on your schedule and vehicle preference.

Is the hourly rate upfront?

Yes. The quoted hourly rate includes the chauffeur, vehicle, tolls, parking at your stops, and wait time, with no gratuity added. Any tip is your choice and goes directly to your chauffeur. The only additions at checkout are the 2% admin fee and 6% card fee, itemized before you pay.

Can I book hourly car service for out-of-town guests?

Absolutely. Many clients book hourly service for visiting executives, in-laws, or out-of-town wedding guests. You book and pay. Your guest gets picked up. We send the guest the chauffeur details and vehicle information 24 hours before the booking.

What's your cancellation policy on hourly bookings?

Free cancellation 3+ days before your scheduled start time. Cancellations 24 hours–3 days out are charged 50% of the booked minimum; inside 24 hours, the full minimum applies. Same-day adjustments to start time within ±2 hours are no charge.

Will I get the exact vehicle I booked, and are your chauffeurs licensed?

Yes. We confirm the specific vehicle tier at booking from our 22-vehicle, company-owned fleet, and send a same-tier replacement at no charge if a mechanical issue requires a swap. Every chauffeur is background-checked, professionally trained, averages 8+ years of livery experience, and Royal Carriage is ICC-licensed and fully commercially insured. Net-30 corporate invoicing is available for recurring accounts.
