Can I hire a chauffeur for just a few hours?
Yes. Hourly chauffeur service is the most flexible way to book: the car and driver are yours for the time reserved, the stops can change during the booking, and the chauffeur waits while you are inside. Hourly bookings have a minimum number of hours, which is stated on the quote and is usually higher on busy weekend nights.
If the day runs long, the booking can usually be extended on the spot when the vehicle is free. The extra time is billed at the same hourly rate.
What our chauffeur service in Atlanta is booked for
People call it different things: an Atlanta chauffeur service, a personal chauffeur in Atlanta, a personal driver in Atlanta or an Atlanta private driver. It is the same service: a professional chauffeur and a luxury vehicle, for as long as you need them.
Business days
Back-to-back meetings in Downtown, Midtown, Buckhead and the Perimeter, client lunches and site visits. See corporate transportation.
Personal driver for errands and appointments
Shopping, medical appointments, house-hunting and moving days, with the driver handling parking and bags.
Evenings out
Dinner and a show, an anniversary or a night out with friends, with no one needing to drive home.
Visitors and VIP guests
Speakers, performers and visiting family, met at the airport and driven for the length of the stay.
24 hour chauffeur service and hourly black car service
Flights land at all hours and events end late. Bookings can start at any time of day or night, and the pickup time is confirmed in advance like any other ride. For short-notice requests, send the details and we confirm availability before anything is booked.
For special evenings, our Atlanta luxury chauffeur service pairs the hourly booking with a stretch limousine or a limo-style Sprinter.
Vehicles for chauffeured service
| Vehicle | Passengers | Typical booking |
|---|---|---|
| Luxury sedan | Up to 3 | Meetings, errands, airport |
| Executive SUV | Up to 6 | Families, small teams, luggage |

Hourly or point-to-point: which saves money
Hourly chauffeur service is the right choice when the car needs to wait. When it does not, separate point-to-point rides usually cost less. These examples show how we usually advise.
| Your plan | Usually better as |
|---|---|
| One ride from home to a restaurant | Point-to-point |
| Dinner and a show, back home at night | Hourly, or two point-to-point rides if the gap is long |
| Three meetings in different parts of the city | Hourly |
| Errands with bags and several stops | Hourly |
| A full day with a visiting guest | Hourly or a day rate |

Sample chauffeured days in Atlanta
A day of meetings
A morning pickup in Buckhead, meetings in Midtown and at the Perimeter, a client lunch, and a late-afternoon drop at Hartsfield-Jackson. The chauffeur waits outside each address and the bags stay in the car all day.
A house-hunting day
Families relocating to Atlanta often spend a day seeing neighborhoods such as Brookhaven, Sandy Springs, Alpharetta and Marietta, with a realtor riding along. An executive SUV gives everyone room and keeps the paperwork in one place.
A visitor’s day in the city
Centennial Olympic Park, the Georgia Aquarium and the World of Coca-Cola Downtown, the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Park on Auburn Avenue, then the Atlanta Botanical Garden and Ponce City Market. With a chauffeur, there is no parking at any stop.
Appointments and errands
Medical appointments, shopping and errands, with the chauffeur waiting and helping with bags. Many families book this for parents or grandparents who no longer drive.
An evening out
Dinner, a show at the Fox Theatre or a concert, and the ride home, with no one needing to drive or park. See event transportation.
What a professional chauffeur does
- Plans the route and the timing before the booking starts
- Arrives early and waits close to each stop
- Handles bags, shopping and luggage
- Adjusts to changes in the plan, within the time reserved
- Keeps conversations and business in the car confidential
- Drives smoothly and safely, never rushing to make up time
Multi-day and weekly chauffeur bookings
Visiting executives, production crews, wedding families and event organizers often keep a vehicle and chauffeur for several days. Multi-day bookings are quoted as a day plan, with the start and end times for each day written on the quote, and the same chauffeur is assigned where possible so the routine settles in quickly.
Chauffeur service for VIPs, speakers and talent
Speakers, performers, athletes and executives visiting Atlanta need more than a ride. They need the same chauffeur each day, discreet pickups, a schedule that matches the event and a contact who can change plans quickly. We assign the chauffeur in advance, share the schedule with the event team and keep the details private.
Tips for planning an hourly chauffeur booking
- List the stops you already know, in order
- Add realistic time at each stop, especially meals and appointments
- Allow for traffic between distant parts of the metro
- Book a little more time than you think you need; extending depends on availability
- Tell us about bags, shopping or equipment so the vehicle has room
How to book a chauffeur
Tell us the start time, the pickup address, the stops you already know and how long you need the car. We reply with the vehicle, the hours and the price. If the plan is open-ended, book the minimum and extend on the day if the vehicle is free.
