A chauffeur
at your disposal.
You book a vehicle and a chauffeur for a set period, not a single journey. Unlimited stops, waiting included, route entirely yours. From €80 an hour, minimum 3 hours.
What hourly hire changes
A point-to-point ride takes you from one place to another. Hourly hire gives you your day back. The chauffeur stays with you: he waits through your meeting, keeps your shopping in the boot, repositions at the restaurant exit, collects you at whatever time you decide on the spot. You stop booking journey by journey and simply have a car.
The most common uses
- Business day — several meetings in one day, with the vehicle as a mobile office in between
- Luxury shopping — avenue Montaigne, rue Saint-Honoré, Le Bon Marché, purchases left safely on board
- Film and production — crew or talent transport, with long waits on set
- Private tours — Versailles, Giverny, Champagne, the Loire châteaux as a full day
- Villa stays — a chauffeur assigned to your stay in Saint-Tropez or Cannes
- Evenings — dinner, show, after-party, home, without hunting for a car at 2 a.m.

Booking hourly hire
Select "Hourly hire" on the booking page, choose the duration and pay online. For several days or several vehicles, write to us: we build a transport plan and a single invoice.
One dedicated chauffeur
for the full booking.
On hourly hire we do not send you a car, we assign you someone. The same chauffeur stays with you for the whole booking: he remembers your addresses, anticipates the next appointment, knows where to stand outside each door. You never explain anything twice.
Pickups
at palace hotels.
George V, Peninsula, Bulgari: every house has its rules. Where to wait, which door to use, when to pull forward, how long you may stay. Our chauffeurs know them, and the valet never has to step in. On hourly hire, the car stays positioned to the hotel's own protocol, from the first appointment to the evening return.
