Time on your terms

One car, several stops, no hunting for a ride.

A single transfer is easy to picture. A day with five stops is harder. Maybe you are touring the Pier, lunching on Main Street, picking up a gift on Montana Avenue and then heading to an early dinner downtown. Each of those is a short hop, and each one adds a new wait, a new search for a car and a new chance to be late.

Hourly service removes that churn. Your chauffeur drives the whole plan, drops you at each door and waits nearby. You don’t carry shopping bags back across town, and you don’t negotiate parking. The car becomes a calm base for the day, with water, privacy and space for what you buy along the way.

We confirm the length of the booking and the fixed price before the car is assigned. If the plan grows, call dispatch from the back seat and we will tell you how to extend it. The office answers all day and all night, which is helpful when a plan changes at ten at night. A chauffeur who has driven the whole route also knows which entrances to avoid, so each stop feels smoother than the last.

Hourly guide

How to plan an hourly booking

An hourly ride works best with a rough map of the day. This is how we set one up.

List the stops, in any order

Send us your must-visit stops and any times that are fixed. A reservation at 7 p.m. matters more than a shop that is open all afternoon. We build the rest around the fixed points.

Choose the length together

Our team confirms the booking length when you reserve. If you are unsure, estimate generously and tell us your top priority, and we will advise on a sensible window.

Waiting near the door

Third Street Promenade is closed to cars, so the chauffeur waits on a nearby street and stays in touch by phone. At a hotel or restaurant on Main Street we find the closest legal place to pause.

Adding a stop

Ideas pop up. A friend wants to join, or dinner turns into a late show. Call dispatch and we will tell you what extending looks like before you commit.

Packing the car

The trunk stays available for shopping bags, a gift box or a bag from the hotel. Tell us what you expect to carry so we choose between a sedan and an SUV.

Groups and mixed plans

Friends, relatives and colleagues rarely want identical days. If one person heads to a Wilshire meeting while the others go to the beach, we can split the plan across two cars and keep both on the same clock.

Weather and light

Sunset over the water draws crowds to the Pier and the bluffs. When the plan includes an evening on the coast, mention it so we pad the schedule around the busiest hours.

Kids and older guests

Children need seats and older relatives need an easy step. Tell us who is riding and we prepare the car, including child seats on request.

Ending the booking

When the last stop is done, the chauffeur drops you at the final address. You pay what we agreed up front.

Pairing hourly with a transfer

Many people book an airport transfer and an hourly block in the same call, with the ride from LAX leading straight into a day of meetings.

When hourly beats separate rides

If you expect more than two stops, one hourly booking is usually calmer than several transfers. You stay in the same seat, nothing is left behind and each leg begins the moment you are ready. We are happy to talk through the options by phone before you decide.
