Hourly / As-Directed
A vehicle and driver held for your group, on your schedule — for days that don't fit a fixed A-to-B booking.
Some days cannot be described as a pickup and a drop-off: a roadshow with five client offices, a film or production crew moving between locations, a family celebration with an uncertain end time, or an executive group whose afternoon changes at lunch. Hourly and as-directed charters solve that by booking time rather than a route.
You book a block of hours, the vehicle stays with the group, and the driver takes direction during the day. We still ask for a rough plan so we can send the right vehicle and the right driver — but nothing about that plan is locked.
Common uses
Multiple client or investor meetings in a day, with the vehicle waiting between stops.
Team days with several venues, where timings move as the agenda runs.
Tasting days where a long lunch or extra stop should not break the itinerary.
Location work where the call sheet decides the route.
Evenings with an uncertain finish, quoted with the end-of-night run included.
A vehicle on standby for visiting clients, speakers or family.
We do not publish per-trip prices, because hours, distance, date and vehicle all change the total. Every charter is quoted individually — call or request a quote and you get a written figure.

Start time, rough plan, group size and expected finish.
Vehicle, hourly rate, minimum hours and any expected extras.
Written confirmation with driver assignment ahead of the day.
The vehicle stays with the group; tell the driver where next.
The vehicle and driver stay with your group for a booked block of hours and go where you direct during that time, instead of driving a fixed route between two addresses.
Against the vehicle's hourly rate and hourly minimum for your date. Longer days lower the effective hourly cost. Mileage outside the Bay Area, tolls, bridge crossings and parking are added at cost.
Extra time is charged in line with your confirmed quote. Tell the driver as soon as you know, so dispatch can check the vehicle is not committed to a later trip.
Yes — that is the point of as-directed. Large changes in distance can affect the final total, so the driver will flag anything that moves the trip well outside the plan.
Anything across 8–56 passengers. Executive Sprinters suit small teams; minibuses and motorcoaches cover larger groups on the same hourly basis.
Yes. The vehicle is held for your group for the booked hours, subject to the rest periods required for commercial drivers.
Tell us the start time, group size and rough plan — we'll quote the hours.
