AT YOUR DISPOSAL

One car, as many stops as you need

Hourly hire keeps the same car and chauffeur with you for as long as you need. Your chauffeur waits nearby between stops, so there are no queues for taxis and no rushing to meet a pickup.

It is ideal for a run of meetings across the City and Mayfair, a shopping day on Bond Street, a dinner and a late finish, or a day visiting the country.

Two example days

A shopping day in Mayfair and Knightsbridge. The V-Class collects you from your hotel at 11am for Bond Street, then lunch, then Sloane Street and Harrods, with your chauffeur waiting nearby and the bags going straight into the car. Back at the hotel by 3pm. Four hours in the V-Class: £340, excluding VAT.

A day of City meetings. The S-Class collects you in Mayfair at 8.30am for a first meeting in the City, then on to Canary Wharf, lunch near Bank and a final meeting in St James's, back by 3.30pm. Seven hours in the S-Class: £630, excluding VAT. No waiting for taxis between meetings, and somewhere quiet to take calls in between.

For a longer day with set half and full day prices, see private driver in London for the day.
