When to Book Hourly Service

Corporate Roadshows

Back-to-back investor meetings across the Loop, River North, and the suburbs. Your chauffeur knows the fastest routes between financial districts and waits at each stop. No rebooking between meetings.

Real Estate Tours

Showing properties in Lincoln Park, then Gold Coast, then Hinsdale? Your driver handles the routing and waits curbside at each showing. Agents and buyers stay focused on the homes, not on parking.

Shopping & Errands

Michigan Avenue, Oak Brook Center, Northbrook Court — hit every stop with a driver handling bags and curbside pickup. No circling for parking, no dragging bags through Uber rides.

Medical Appointments

Door-to-door service for medical visits, specialist appointments, or recovery transportation. Your chauffeur assists with entry, waits for you, and drives you home. Ideal for post-procedure transport.

Night Out / Date Night

Dinner at Alinea, drinks in River North, then home to the suburbs. Your driver is on call the entire evening. No last-call surge pricing, no checking your phone for ride availability at midnight.

Multi-Stop Airport Day

Airport pickup, hotel check-in, three downtown meetings, dinner, and back to the hotel. One driver, one vehicle, one price for the full day. Flight tracking on the inbound arrival.

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 Car Service Across Chicago and the Suburbs

Our hourly car service covers the entire Chicago metro area with no mileage surcharges. Clients in Oak Brook use hourly service for multi-stop corporate days between the Oakbrook Center offices and downtown meetings. North Shore riders from Northbrook book our sedans for shopping trips along the Magnificent Mile and medical appointments at Northwestern Memorial. For vehicle options, choose from our Lincoln Continental sedan, a Cadillac Escalade ESV for groups, or a Mercedes Sprinter van for team outings.

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. For dedicated executive-level service, explore our corporate transportation program or learn about our executive sedan service for regular business travelers who want the same driver and vehicle on every trip.

Hourly Car Service Questions

How much is an hourly car service in Chicago?

Hourly car service in Chicago starts at $85 per hour for a luxury sedan (Lincoln Continental or Mercedes S-Class). Executive SUVs (Cadillac Escalade ESV) are $105 per hour. Sprinter vans and stretch limousines are $150 per hour. All rates include the chauffeur, vehicle, fuel, tolls, and wait time. There are no hidden fees or surge multipliers.

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

Sedans and SUVs have a 2-hour minimum. Sprinter vans and stretch limousines have a 3-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 all-inclusive?

Yes. The quoted hourly rate includes the chauffeur, vehicle, fuel, tolls, parking at your stops, and wait time. Gratuity is not included but appreciated. There are no hidden fees — the price you are quoted is the price 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.

Your Driver Waits. Your Schedule Leads.

Stop booking individual rides between stops. One vehicle, one chauffeur, one hourly rate — with no surge pricing, no rebooking, and no wasted time waiting for a new driver.
