Most chauffeur companies will not publish a rate, which makes comparison impossible and wastes everybody's time. Here are ours, what they include, and how a real event quote is assembled on top of them.
Hourly rates
Hourly is as-directed service: the chauffeur and vehicle stay with you for the booked period, waiting included. It is the right structure for event days, evenings, and any schedule that might move.
| Vehicle | Hourly rate | Minimum |
|---|---|---|
| Executive Sedan — up to 3 passengers | $135 / hour | 2 hours |
| Premium SUV — up to 6 passengers | from $125 / hour | 2 hours |
| Executive Sprinter Van — up to 12 passengers | $175 / hour | 3 hours |
A full day of as-directed service bills hourly with an eight-hour minimum.
Point-to-point rates
Airport transfers and one-way trips are priced from the trip distance: a base fare plus a per-mile rate. A round trip is twice the one-way fare.
| Vehicle | Base fare | Per mile |
|---|---|---|
| Executive Sedan | $110 | $3.78 |
| Premium SUV | from $130 | from $4.60 |
| Executive Sprinter Van | $250 | $5.80 |
Quoted rates cover the fare, taxes, tolls and standard wait time. Gratuity is never added automatically — you choose it at the last step of the reservation, and it appears as its own line.
What actually moves an event quote
Four things change a number far more than the rate card does, and three of them are within your control.
- Structure. An event day booked as five point-to-point transfers usually costs more than the same day booked hourly — and works worse.
- How long the vehicle is held. Waiting is the product on an event day, and it is what the hourly rate buys.
- Vehicle mix. One Sprinter beats three SUVs on cost for a group of ten, and beats them on the exit too.
- Timing. Not surge — our rates are fixed at booking — but availability. Late requests during SXSW, ACL or Grand Prix weeks are constrained by what is left, and what is left is rarely the cheapest option.
How a multi-vehicle program is priced
A program is not a stack of individual bookings. It is priced from the manifest: how many vehicles, held for how long, across how many days, with what coordination on top. That is why a serious quote asks for the agenda and the hotel list rather than a headcount.
It is also why programs are cheaper per guest than ad-hoc booking at the same volume. Vehicles are scheduled across movements rather than idling between them.
Getting an exact number
For a single trip, the reservation flow prices it live once the pickup and drop-off are entered — no call required, no quote request, no waiting for a callback. For a multi-vehicle event, send the agenda and we will build the plan and price it against the manifest.
