As-Directed Charter
Hourly car service NYC means one chauffeur, one vehicle, as-directed. The car stays with you. Multi-stop days, waiting, dinner circuits, medical appointments, wedding days, press tours. Book a private chauffeur for a schedule with multiple stops or time between appointments. From $95/hr in a Business Sedan. 3-hour minimum on sedans and SUVs, 4 hours on the Sprinter, then 30-minute increments at the same rate. Tolls and standard gratuity included. The rate never surges. Call (888) 503-4449 or book by the hour.

A 2-hour dinner in a Business Sedan bills the 3-hour floor: $285. Stretch to 3.5 hours and it is $332.50, not a rounded 4 hours.
A 10-hour sedan roadshow is $950. A 10-hour S-Class day is $1,750.
Sprinter 4-hour floor is $800.
If the day is one pickup and one drop (Midtown to JFK), the airport flat ($220 sedan / $270 First Class SUV from Manhattan) is cheaper than a 3-hour charter. Hourly earns the rate at 3+ stops or any real wait.
Same TLC-licensed chauffeur for the window. You direct in real time or send the stops ahead. Share your planned stops and timing when booking, and coordinate itinerary changes with dispatch. Confirm any added time or changes to the quoted itinerary before travel. Pickup in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Newark, and Jersey City at the same hourly rate. Tolls already in. Hamptons day trips and Hudson Valley runs can bill hourly; one-way long hauls belong on long-distance car service. For recurring business travel, ask about corporate accounts.

A published 10-hour Manhattan sample at $950 sedan: Pierre Hotel, Goldman Sachs (200 West Street), Bloomberg (731 Lexington), lunch at the Knickerbocker, JPMorgan (270 Park), CNBC at 1 Times Square, dinner at Per Se, return. Your hourly quote covers the booked time and itinerary. Confirm overtime and additional stops before travel.
An evening with a plan
Reserve a chauffeur for the full evening or request separate arrival and return transfers. Share the date, venue entrance, arrival deadline and expected finish time, along with any dinner or after-event stops. Your quote should cover the complete schedule.
For a Met Gala transportation request or another event with controlled arrivals, share the organizer’s approved entrance and vehicle instructions with dispatch. The chauffeur can plan around permitted access; a car reservation does not provide event admission or restricted-area credentials.
Tell us about formalwear, luggage and the number of guests before selecting a sedan or SUV. If a particular model is important for your arrival, request confirmation before booking.
Provide the venue, event date and expected end time. The arrival entrance and return meeting point may differ when crowds leave or streets close. Keep the lead passenger’s phone available so dispatch can coordinate a permitted pickup location.
For guests leaving at different times or from different venues, send the full itinerary and ask about separate vehicles. For a larger party, review chauffeured Sprinter options and confirm passenger and luggage capacity.
Waiting between stops uses your reserved hourly time. If plans run beyond the agreed finish, contact dispatch to confirm additional time and availability. For ceremony and reception transportation, see our wedding car service.
Request an event itinerary quoteSprinter and Escalade inventory clears first. An hourly day that ends at LGA, EWR, TEB, HPN, or ISP includes flight tracking on the last leg at no charge — see wait-time policy. Executive / corporate accounts invoice hourly against the same monthly bill. Setup free, live in 24–48 hours.
