Why book by the hour

Some days do not fit a single ride.

A morning of meetings, an afternoon of appointments, or dinner and a show all need more than one pickup.

With hourly service, the car and chauffeur are yours for the time you book. You set the plan. Your chauffeur handles the driving, the route, and the parking. No new ride to request at each stop and no surge between rides.

Since January 2026, solo Uber and Lyft rides in a larger downtown zone carry an extra $1.50 city fee. On a day with five or six stops, single rides add up.

Questions

Hourly chauffeur questions.

Straight answers about booking a car by the hour.

Ask us anything
How does hourly chauffeur service in Chicago work?
You book a vehicle and chauffeur for a block of time. The chauffeur waits between stops, and you set the plan.
What does hourly service cost?
Rates start at $95 per hour for the Cadillac CT5 and vary by vehicle, date, length of booking, and demand. See our rates. We confirm your exact price before you book.
Is there a minimum number of hours?
Yes. The minimum depends on the vehicle and the date. Specialty vehicles and busy dates may have higher minimums. We confirm it when you request a quote.
Can I add stops during the booking?
Yes. Tell your chauffeur where you want to go next, and the car goes with you.
Can I book any vehicle by the hour?
Yes. Any vehicle in the fleet can be booked by the hour, from executive sedans to the limo bus.
Can I extend my booking on the day?
Often, yes, depending on availability. If you think the day might run long, mention it when you book so we can plan for it.
Is an hourly chauffeur worth it in Chicago traffic?
For a day with several stops, often yes. INRIX ranked Chicago the worst U.S. city for traffic in 2025, with 112 hours lost per driver. You skip parking, skip waiting for a new ride at each stop, and pay one rate.
Can I book an hourly car for a McCormick Place show?
Yes. An hourly car can take you between your hotel, McCormick Place, client dinners, and the airport. Book early for big show weeks.
