Hourly hire, as directed

Hire a car and driver for the hour or the day and change the plan as you go. The driver stays with you, so a meeting that runs long is not a rebooking.

Quoted per event
One fixed total, agreed before the date
Vehicles
1 to 16 seats
Billing
One invoice

What we arrange

Multiple stops, one booking

Meetings, site visits, lunch and the airport in one day, on one booking and one invoice.

Waiting is built in

The driver waits while you are in the meeting or at the event. Nothing is metered while you are inside.

Flexible itinerary

Give us a rough plan and adjust it on the day. We price the hire, not each individual leg.

Roadshows and film crews

A vehicle and the same driver for the whole run, multi-day if needed.

Airport plus city

Collect at the airport, run the day’s meetings, return to the airport, all in one hire.

How an event booking works

  1. 1

    Send the schedule

    Venues, times, headcount and anything unusual: a band with equipment, a wheelchair user, a 6am start.

  2. 2

    We plan the vehicles

    We work out how many runs the numbers actually need and quote a fixed total. This is where most event transport goes wrong, and it is worth getting right on paper.

  3. 3

    One contact on the day

    For multi-vehicle bookings you get a single coordinator holding the schedule and every driver’s number.

Send the date, the venues and the headcount. We reply with a fixed total for the vehicles, the runs and the hours, agreed before the day.

  • Fixed quote, no surge pricing on event days
  • We reply within a few hours, around the clock
  • Sending the form commits you to nothing

Hourly hire (as directed): common questions

How is hourly hire priced?

By the hour or the day, agreed in your quote. There is no meter running, and the terms for overtime are stated up front.

Is there a minimum booking?

Hourly hire is normally quoted as a block of hours. Any minimum is stated in your quote before you commit.

Can we change the route on the day?

Yes. That is the point of hiring as directed. Extra stops within the booked hours are included.

Does the driver wait outside meetings?

Yes. The driver stays with the car and waits for you within the booked hours.

Planning an event?

Tell us the date and the venues. You get a fixed quote back, not an estimate.
