Hourly Chauffeur Service Seattle · Private Car & Driver by the Hour
private car & driver, by the hour

A car & chauffeur for your whole day — not just the ride between two points.

What hourly chauffeur is actually for.

Five real booking patterns drawn from what books most often. Use them as templates or starting points — every actual booking gets shaped to your day. The point is the same across all five: the vehicle stays with you, the chauffeur runs the day, you don't think about the car.

why hourly is the right answer when you don't know exactly what your day looks like

The vehicle stays with you. The clock keeps ticking. Nothing else does.

Hourly chauffeur replaces the dozen small frictions that compose a busy day — circling for parking, surge pricing, waiting for the next rideshare, juggling bags between cars. One vehicle, one driver, one fixed rate. You decide the day as it unfolds.

  • 01
    Vehicle stays with you. The chauffeur waits at every stop. No per-stop fee, no re-dispatch, no waiting on a new driver.
  • 02
    Add stops freely. Adding a stop mid-day is free. Extending the booking is billed in 30-minute increments at the standard rate.
  • 03
    Discretion is the default. Chauffeurs don't request photos, autographs, or social. Conversation is initiated by you, not them.
  • 04
    Unbranded available. For VIP, talent, divorce, or medical bookings — vehicles without company decals. Request at booking, no charge.
  • 05
    Same chauffeur all day. One name and face for the entire window. No handoffs at hour four.
  • 06
    NDA on request. Mutual NDAs available for ongoing client work, family law, or any booking where confidentiality matters.

Pick by the shape of your day, not just headcount.

A solo executive errand day works fine in a sedan. Two people with a photographer wants an SUV. Six people with luggage and a venue change needs a Sprinter. Vehicle change after dispatch incurs fees — when in doubt, size up.

Every hourly chauffeur booking includes these by default. The only things not in the published hourly rate are gratuity (20% standard), tolls passed through at cost on 405 ETL/SR-99, and any 30-minute extensions billed at the standard rate.

"Booked the 8-hour SUV for my wife's discharge after surgery — pharmacy, follow-up at the clinic, home. Driver was patient when she needed extra time, carried the bag of medications in for us, and was completely silent when she fell asleep on the drive home. The kind of service you don't realize you needed until you have it."

Asked & answered.

Common questions before an hourly chauffeur booking — pricing, minimum booking, what hourly is for, vehicle flexibility, discretion, medical / legal coordination. Anything not covered, call 206-512-8766 — 24/7.

Executive sedan starts at $95 per hour, executive SUV at $115, Sprinter van at $185, stretch limousine at $145, party bus at $275. Three-hour minimum applies to all hourly bookings — so a sedan is $285 minimum, SUV $345, Sprinter $555. Pricing is flat hourly — no surge, no per-stop fees, no fuel surcharge. Tolls and gratuity are additional.
Three hours is the minimum block for all hourly chauffeur bookings within the Greater Seattle area. Longer durations price tier-by-tier: 5-hour half-day, 8-hour full-day, 12-hour extended, 24-hour overnight. Overnight bookings include chauffeur lodging arrangement. Hourly extensions on the day-of are billed in 30-minute increments at the standard rate.
Most-booked scenarios: executive errand days (doctor + lunch + dry cleaner + airport pickup), multi-meeting business days for out-of-town visitors with 3 to 5 addresses, VIP client and talent hosting where the vehicle stays with the principal, proposal nights and special occasions without a category, and discreet medical or legal coordination days. The defining trait is that the vehicle stays with you the whole window — no separate pickups, no per-stop friction.
Yes. The vehicle and chauffeur remain with your party for the entire booked window. The chauffeur waits at each stop — at restaurants, offices, appointments, venues — and is ready to leave when you are. There's no per-stop fee, no re-dispatch math, no waiting for a different driver. The same chauffeur runs your full booking from start to finish.
Yes. Adding stops mid-trip is free — that's the point of hourly chauffeur. Extending the booking past the original end time is billed in 30-minute increments at the standard hourly rate, subject to chauffeur availability. We recommend booking 30 to 60 minutes of buffer on uncertain days; unused time isn't refunded but isn't charged extra either.
Discretion is standard. Chauffeurs do not request photos, autographs, or social media engagement. Conversation is initiated by the principal — chauffeurs are trained to be quiet by default. Vehicles can be requested unbranded (no company decals) for VIP, talent, or sensitive bookings. NDAs are available on request for ongoing client relationships, divorce or family law coordination, and any booking where confidentiality matters.
Yes. Common scenarios include hospital discharge plus pharmacy and follow-up appointments, oncology or fertility treatment days with multiple stops, post-procedure rides where the patient cannot drive, divorce mediation or courthouse-to-deposition days, and IME (independent medical exam) appointments. Chauffeurs are trained to be patient, quiet, and to wait without making the principal feel rushed. Wheelchair-accessible vehicles available with 72-hour notice.
Sedan and SUV bookings: 24 to 72 hours is comfortable. Same-day is usually possible 4+ hours out. Sprinter, stretch limousine, and party bus: 5 to 7 days. Summer weekends, December holiday week, and Husky/Seahawks game days book heavier — add 48 hours of lead time. Standing weekly bookings (e.g. recurring Tuesday client visits) are arranged once and confirmed by text the day before.

Tell us the start time, duration, vehicle preference, and pickup address. We'll confirm chauffeur and vehicle within four business hours — usually faster. NDA available before booking for any reason.
