Hourly Car Service NYC

Hourly car service reserves a chauffeur and vehicle for a set block, with time for multiple stops and waiting between them.

You choose the start time, vehicle class, duration, and route. The chauffeur stays assigned to your schedule during the reserved hours, so you can move from a meeting to lunch, an appointment, and an evening destination without arranging a new pickup at every stop. This is an as-directed service: you guide the order of stops, and we work from the itinerary you share.

The three-hour minimum gives you a defined window for pickup, travel, planned stops, and the return leg. Waiting between stops uses the booked hours. Every regular pickup has a 15-minute grace period, after which waiting time applies. Plan stop times as part of the block, especially when appointments, meals, or event schedules have a set start time.

A useful request begins with the first pickup and ends with the final drop-off. Include any planned wait, a return destination, and the time you expect the schedule to finish. For a single pickup and one destination, point-to-point car service in NYC is the more direct format.

Hourly rates range from $120 to $200 for four sedan and SUV classes, with a three-hour minimum.

Example prices from our booking engine, October 2026. Taxes, tolls and fees included; gratuity optional. Your exact price is shown before you book.

The table compares sedan and SUV classes over the same duration. Choose the block around planned waits and your final destination. For a larger group, share passenger and bag counts, itinerary, and hours to request a Sprinter quote. For other trip types, see NYC car service.

Choose hourly service for multiple stops, planned waiting, or a schedule that may change during the day.

A workday with several appointments often benefits from one vehicle remaining with the schedule. You can travel between offices, pause for lunch, and continue to the next meeting. For a day with separate trips and long gaps, compare the individual destinations and decide whether separate point-to-point bookings fit better.

Personal plans can follow the same structure. A hotel pickup, an appointment, shopping, dinner, and a performance can fit into one reserved block when the timing works. If you only need a ride to the performance, point-to-point is the simpler request. The right choice depends on whether you need a chauffeur to stay with you while you are at each stop.

Hourly service works well for a day with several places to visit and a reason to keep one vehicle with the schedule.

For a corporate roadshow, list each office, meeting time, meal, and final destination in sequence. A well-ordered itinerary helps you see where the available time sits between appointments. If the day includes multiple meetings across the city, explore roadshow transportation in NYC and corporate car service NYC.

For errands and appointments, group nearby stops together and leave room for the time you expect to spend at each address. A schedule that includes a doctor visit, a work meeting, and a later pickup for dinner has different timing needs from a short transfer. Enter each destination before you request a ride, so the route and duration reflect the day you want to take.

For shopping, sightseeing, dining, and an evening show, choose the order first, then set the block around the full outing. A chauffeur can continue from one stop to the next while you are away from the vehicle. If an event is the main reason for the trip, check NYC event transportation for event-specific planning.

An hourly schedule can also include airport transportation at the beginning or end of the block. For an arrival followed by a hotel, office, or appointment, put the airport first and add the next stops. For a city day followed by a departure, set the airport as the final destination and include your terminal and flight details. For a single airport transfer, start with NYC airport car service.

Share the start time, duration, stops, passenger count, bag count, and vehicle class with your request.

Enter the date, chauffeur arrival time, requested hours, and each address in order. Include fixed appointment times, meal breaks, expected waits, and the final destination so the request accounts for the whole schedule.

Add passenger and bag counts before choosing a vehicle. If you need child seats, request them and select an SUV or Sprinter; sedans do not take child seats. For corporate travel, include office locations and the order of meetings. For airport pickups, enter the terminal, airline, and flight number, then choose your preferred meeting option.

Review the date, itinerary, passenger total, bag count, and vehicle class before submitting. Place fixed-time appointments first, then arrange flexible stops around them. Call 888-887-0324 with planning questions.

Choose from four sedan and SUV classes for up to six passengers, or request a Sprinter for a larger group.

Enter your bag count when booking because luggage space depends on the vehicle. For a Sprinter quote, share passenger and bag totals, route, requested hours, and airport stops. The published hourly table covers the four sedan and SUV classes.

Child seats of every type (infant, convertible and booster) are $25 each in SUVs and Sprinters, never in sedans. Up to 2 seats per direction go in an SUV, more in a Sprinter, and mini coaches and coaches can take them after we discuss the trip. Request them when booking. See car service with child seats in NYC for details.

Airport pickups can start or finish an hourly itinerary, with curbside pickup or an optional inside-terminal meeting.

Include the airport and private-flight details in your request.

Yes, you can request an hourly itinerary for a day trip that includes travel, stops, and a return destination.

A North Fork wine day needs time for travel between visits and a meal. True North VIP's Suffolk County guide describes more than 50 wineries along about 15 miles of the Route 25 corridor, with a typical plan of three to four winery visits in four to five hours plus lunch. Choose your stops and visit lengths before selecting a block. See NYC wine tour car service.

For Long Island days, the company's Suffolk County page gives summer Friday planning estimates of three to four hours to Southampton and four to five or more hours to Montauk. Use the date, stops, and preferred finish time to plan the requested duration.

For a Hamptons or group day, include both travel legs, planned stops, passenger total, and bag count. If your plan uses a Sprinter, provide the itinerary and requested hours with the quote request.

The MTA's Congestion Relief Zone covers Manhattan south of and including 60th Street, and eligible enrolled bases can use a per-trip charge plan.

When your itinerary includes addresses around the zone boundary, list every stop so the route is clear. MTA guidance distinguishes eligible bases enrolled in the per-trip plan from other for-hire services. Only eligible enrolled bases can use the per-trip plan; other services may follow another charge arrangement. See NYC congestion pricing explained for the current overview.

Build the request around the full schedule, including pickup time, appointment deadlines, waiting periods, and the last destination.

For a roadshow, place each office in order and mark the meetings that have fixed start times. Include the arrival deadline and expected time at each stop. A full route helps you choose a block that covers travel between appointments as well as the time spent at each location. For a company-wide travel request, see corporate car service NYC.

For a dinner, performance, or event, add the venue, planned arrival, expected end time, and where you want to go afterward. Put the return destination in the itinerary if you want the chauffeur to stay assigned through the event and drive you afterward. For a direct transfer to the venue, compare the one-way trip option with the reserved block.

True North VIP hourly bookings have a three-hour minimum, four published sedan and SUV rates, and Sprinter quotes on request.
