Hourly car service, as directed
Book a car and chauffeur by the hour. You set the stops and the timing; your driver stays with you from the first pickup to the last drop-off.
Hourly, as directed
Your car, your schedule
Hourly service, also called “as directed”, is for days when one ride isn't enough: several meetings across Boston, a round of errands, appointments followed by lunch, or an evening with more than one stop.
Your chauffeur stays with you between stops, so there is no waiting for a car and no parking to find. If the plan changes during the day, just tell your driver.
It is also how we book wine tours and wedding photo stops: one car, one driver, as many stops as the day needs.
