Hourly Car ServiceChicago

Need a car and driver for the day? Our hourly as-directed service puts a professional chauffeur and premium vehicle at your disposal. Multiple stops, flexible timing, no per-trip booking. Just tell your driver where to go next.

Quick Answer: Hourly Car Service Chicago

Hourly car service in Chicago starts at $75/hour for a sedan, $95/hour for an SUV. 2-hour minimum. As-directed means your chauffeur drives wherever you say — multiple stops, flexible schedule. Full-day bookings get 10% off. Call (224) 801-3090.

How Hourly As-Directed Service Works

Book a block of time — 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, or a full day — and your chauffeur drives wherever you direct. Office to a client meeting, then to lunch, then to another meeting, then to the airport. No individual trip bookings, no re-dispatching, no waiting for a new car between stops. Your driver stays with you for the entire booking, engine running, ready to move when you are. The car is yours for the duration. Change your schedule mid-day? Add a stop? Take longer at a meeting? Your driver adapts in real time.

Who Uses Hourly Car Service

Executives visiting Chicago for back-to-back meetings across the city. Real estate agents showing multiple properties. Attorneys traveling between courthouses, depositions, and client offices. Sales teams making rounds of client visits. Consultants spending a week at a client site who need daily transport between hotel and office with stops for meals. Wedding parties shuttling between venues for photo sessions. Our hourly clients are people whose schedules are too complex or unpredictable for individual trip bookings.

Pricing and Minimums

Hourly rates start at $75/hour for a sedan (Lincoln Continental or similar), $95/hour for an SUV (Cadillac Escalade or Suburban), and $150/hour for a Mercedes Sprinter van. Minimum booking is 2 hours for sedans and SUVs, 3 hours for Sprinter vans. All rates include the vehicle, professional chauffeur, fuel, and standard insurance. Tolls and parking are billed at cost. Gratuity is at your discretion. For full-day bookings (8+ hours), we offer a 10% discount. Corporate accounts get monthly invoicing and priority vehicle assignment.

Premium Vehicles for Executive Hours

Your hourly car service vehicle is not a random dispatch. We assign premium vehicles maintained to executive standards. Lincoln Continentals and Mercedes S-Class for individual executives. Cadillac Escalade ESVs for executives traveling with colleagues or clients. Sprinter vans configured with forward-facing captain's chairs and a work table for mobile teams. Every vehicle is detailed inside and out before each booking, stocked with bottled water, phone chargers, and Wi-Fi. The back seat becomes your mobile office.

Chicago Coverage Area

Our hourly service covers all of Chicago and the surrounding suburbs within a 60-mile radius. Downtown Loop, River North, Magnificent Mile, West Loop, South Loop, Lincoln Park, Gold Coast — all core areas. Suburban coverage includes Naperville, Schaumburg, Oak Brook, Evanston, Lake Forest, Highland Park, and all North Shore communities. For longer distances (Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Champaign), we convert to point-to-point pricing. Your driver knows Chicago's streets, shortcuts, and parking situations for every neighborhood.

What is as-directed car service?

As-directed means you book a block of time and direct your chauffeur wherever you need to go. No pre-planned itinerary required. Your driver follows your instructions in real time — multiple stops, schedule changes, spontaneous detours. The car stays with you for the full booking period.

Is there a minimum for hourly booking?

Yes. Sedans and SUVs have a 2-hour minimum. Sprinter vans have a 3-hour minimum. This ensures proper vehicle staging and driver assignment. For shorter needs (single trips under 2 hours), our point-to-point service may be more cost-effective.

Can I extend my hourly booking if I need more time?

Yes, subject to driver availability. If you booked 4 hours and need 6, call us and we'll extend if possible. Extensions are billed at the same hourly rate. For important meetings where overruns are likely, we recommend booking an extra hour as a buffer.

Do you provide Wi-Fi in the vehicle?

Yes. All executive vehicles are equipped with mobile Wi-Fi, USB and Lightning chargers, and power outlets. The back seat is set up as a mobile workspace with enough room to open a laptop and take calls between meetings.

Can I book hourly service for a full week?

Yes. Multi-day hourly bookings are common for executives visiting Chicago on business. Book 8 hours per day for 3-5 days and receive our multi-day discount. Same driver throughout your stay, familiar with your schedule and preferences by day two.
