Dallas · Hourly Charter

Hourly charter service gives you a private vehicle and chauffeur for a reserved block of time.

Written flat rates24/7 dispatchCorporate billing available

Our dispatch team arranges hourly service in Dallas through vetted local affiliate operators. Clients keep the same car and chauffeur for multiple stops, dinners, shopping, or personal errands. The service is useful when you do not want to book separate rides for every leg of the day. Chauffeurs wait at each stop or stay within a short distance. Vehicles include sedans, SUVs, and sprinter vans based on group size. Billing is straightforward and based on the time reserved, not mileage. Hourly service can be booked for half-day, full-day, or evening blocks, and clients control the route within reason.

Leisure travelers, wedding parties, and real estate tours use hourly charters.

Visitors exploring the Bishop Arts District, Deep Ellum, Trinity Groves, and the Dallas Arts District often reserve hourly cars. Wedding parties use the service for photos, ceremony, and reception transport. Bachelor and bachelorette groups bar-hop safely in Uptown and Deep Ellum with a reserved driver. Real estate agents show homes in Highland Park, Preston Hollow, and Lakewood to out-of-town buyers. Executives running personal errands between meetings also prefer hourly blocks. The format works well for anyone with an unpredictable schedule or several stops. Klyde Warren Park opened in 2012 and spans five acres over Woodall Rodgers Freeway. The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden covers 66 acres along the shore of White Rock Lake.

Pricing is based on vehicle type and the length of the reservation.

Sedan hourly charters start at $130 with a three-hour minimum. SUVs start around $240 per hour, and sprinter vans start around $240 per hour. Longer blocks often receive lower effective hourly rates. Tolls, parking, and chauffeur meals on extended trips are billed separately. If the reservation exceeds the booked time, overtime is charged in thirty-minute increments at the same rate. Quotes include all taxes and affiliate fees upfront when possible. Holiday and peak weekend rates may apply, though a fuel surcharge is not added unless the trip leaves the metroplex.

Chauffeur standby and tight schedules are the main limitations.

The chauffeur must remain near the vehicle or within a reasonable walking distance during stops. Downtown valet lanes, compact loading zones, and garage clearances can limit where a van or SUV can wait. Hourly service is not a taxi hailed on the street, so last-minute extensions depend on affiliate availability. All-day charters may require a driver meal break or vehicle swap for safety. If a stop requires paid parking, the client is responsible for the fee, and vans cannot use every narrow street in the Bishop Arts District. Booking the full expected window reduces the risk of overtime or gaps.

How hourly time works

Hourly charter is billed per vehicle with a three-hour minimum: $120 per hour for an executive sedan, $150 for a luxury SUV, $230 for a Mercedes-Benz S-Class and $240 for a Sprinter. The car stays with you for the reserved block, so you can stop, wait, reorder the stops or add one on the way, and the chauffeur follows the plan. If the day runs long, extensions depend on the affiliate schedule and overtime is billed in thirty-minute increments.

When hourly beats separate one-way rides

Three or more stops inside a few hours usually favor hourly. A site-visit day across Addison, Irving, Plano and Frisco, dinner in Uptown followed by a performance in the Arts District, or a house-hunting tour through the Park Cities and Southlake all work better with a car that waits than with separate transfers that each need a fresh pickup. For a single ride from one address to another, a point-to-point fare is the simpler booking.
