Hourly
Driver in Denver, CO

What hourly and as-directed service actually means

Most car service is point to point: you book A to B, you pay for A to B. Hourly is different. You book the vehicle and the chauffeur for a block of time, and inside that block you go wherever you want, stop as long as you want, and change your mind as often as you like. The car does not leave.

In the industry this is also called as-directed service, because the route is directed by you on the day rather than agreed in advance. It is the right product whenever the itinerary is not fixed at the point of booking.

Two things people are surprised by, both in your favour. The clock covers waiting as well as driving, so a chauffeur sitting outside a restaurant for ninety minutes is not costing you extra. And the price is per vehicle, so six people in one SUV pay the same hourly figure as one person.

What hourly car service costs in Denver

We publish these rates rather than making you ask:

The rate includes both drive time and wait time. Gratuity is not included in the base price.

Rates are on our rates page, and we will confirm the figure for your trip when you get in touch.

When hourly is the right call

A night out. Dinner, a show, a bar afterwards, home. The alternative is three separate rideshares in surge pricing at the exact hours surge is worst, plus the walk to a pickup point in February. One vehicle, one driver, one price, and nobody in the group is doing the maths about who is driving home.

Business days with multiple stops. Four meetings across Denver either means waiting for a car four times or having one waiting. See corporate and executive travel for how road show days are run.

Wine and brewery tours. The entire point is that nobody has to stay sober to drive, and the itinerary tends to loosen as the day goes on. Hourly handles that; a pre-booked route does not.

Weddings. A vehicle on standby for the couple or for family movements across the day, rather than trying to predict exact timings months in advance. See wedding transportation.

Concerts and games. Particularly anywhere parking is the real problem. For Red Rocks especially, being collected at the door beats a dark walk back to a distant lot.

Shopping, city tours and visiting guests. Cherry Creek, downtown, the mountains for an afternoon, with bags going straight into the car rather than being carried around.

Photo shoots, film work and site visits. Anywhere a vehicle needs to be present all day and moving only occasionally.

How to book an hourly car in Denver

Tell us four things and you get a firm number back in writing:

• Date and start time, and roughly when you expect to finish.
• Where you want to be collected, and the general area you will be moving around.
• How many passengers, so we assign the right vehicle.
• Anything unusual: mountain roads, an early start, a stop that needs waiting time, luggage or equipment.

You do not need a finished itinerary. That is the whole point of booking hourly. A rough shape is enough.

Book further ahead than feels necessary for Friday and Saturday evenings, holiday periods, graduation weekends and anything in December. Those are the dates the whole metro fleet is spoken for.

Vehicles

Luxury SUVs for parties of up to six. For an evening with a group we run more than one vehicle on the same schedule, so everyone still arrives together. You can see the fleet here.

Hourly service to the mountains

Our vehicles are prepared for that corridor and we run it year round. It is a fair question to ask any operator quoting you a mountain day, and worth asking before you pay rather than after.

Frequently asked questions about hourly car service

Can I make multiple stops with an hourly private driver?

Yes, that is exactly what the service is for. Inside your booked block you can stop as often as you like and stay as long as you like, and the chauffeur waits rather than leaving. There is no per-stop charge, because you have booked the vehicle rather than a route.

Is hourly car service available for a night out in Denver?

Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons people book it. Dinner, a show and a bar afterwards on one booking, with the same driver and the same car all evening, is both cheaper and considerably less trouble than three separate rideshares at peak surge.

How much does an hourly driver cost in Denver?

Current pricing is listed on our rates page.

Is there a minimum booking?

Tell us the hours you have in mind when you enquire and we will confirm what applies to your date before you book. Peak evenings and holiday periods work differently from a Tuesday afternoon.

Does the hourly rate include waiting time?

Yes. Both drive time and wait time are inside the rate, so a chauffeur waiting outside a venue is not an extra charge. That is the main structural difference from rideshare, where waiting is either impossible or expensive.

Is hourly cheaper than booking separate rides?

Send us the details and we will quote it. You can request a quote here, or see the rates page for current pricing.

Can I book an hourly driver for a wine or brewery tour?

Yes. It is a natural fit: nobody has to stay sober, the schedule can move as the day develops, and the vehicle carries whatever you buy. Tell us the general area and we will handle the routing.

Can I extend on the day if we are running long?

Ask your chauffeur as early as you can and we will do our best. It depends on whether the vehicle is booked immediately afterwards, which is why we would rather know at 8pm than at 11pm.
