About Hourly Chauffeur from Swift Chauffeur Worldwide
Swift Chauffeur Worldwide provides hourly chauffeur service in New York City — a booking where you pay per hour and the chauffeur stays with you for the entire duration. Your chauffeur drives you between multiple stops, waits during meetings, and adjusts the plan as your day unfolds. Hourly chauffeur rates in NYC start at $95 per hour for a Mercedes E-Class sedan, $125 per hour for a Cadillac Escalade SUV, $145 per hour for a Mercedes S-Class, and $175 per hour for a Mercedes Sprinter Van. The minimum booking is two hours for sedan, SUV, and S-Class, and three hours for Sprinter. Rates include the chauffeur, vehicle, fuel, standard tolls (FDR/airport tolls billed separately), bottled water, Wi-Fi on select vehicles, complimentary wait time between stops, and route planning. Not included: gratuity (standard 20%), parking fees, long-distance mileage beyond the NYC metro, and out-of-area tolls. Hourly chauffeur makes sense when you have three or more stops, an unclear return time, or need the chauffeur to wait between appointments. For a single A-to-B transfer with a known pickup and dropoff, point-to-point is typically more cost-effective.

01What is hourly chauffeur service?+
Hourly chauffeur service is a booking where you pay per hour and the chauffeur stays with you for the duration. Your chauffeur drives you between multiple stops, waits during meetings, and adjusts the plan as the day unfolds. Standard in NYC is a 2-hour minimum.
02How much is an hourly chauffeur in NYC?+
Hourly chauffeur rates in NYC: $95/hr Mercedes E-Class sedan, $125/hr Cadillac Escalade SUV, $145/hr Mercedes S-Class, $175/hr Mercedes Sprinter Van. Two-hour minimum. Rates include the chauffeur, vehicle, fuel, standard tolls, and wait time.
03What is the minimum hourly booking?+
Two hours for sedan, SUV, and S-Class. Three hours for Sprinter Van. Minimums apply because chauffeurs are assigned to your booking exclusively — they cannot pick up another fare while you hold the vehicle.
04What's included in an hourly chauffeur booking?+
Chauffeur time, vehicle, fuel, standard tolls (FDR/airport tolls are separate), bottled water, Wi-Fi (select vehicles), complimentary wait time between stops, and route planning. Not included: gratuity (standard 20%), parking fees, long-distance mileage beyond the NYC metro, and out-of-area tolls.
05When should I book hourly vs point-to-point?+
Hourly makes sense if you have 3+ stops, an unclear return time, or need the chauffeur to wait. Point-to-point makes sense for a single A-to-B transfer with a known pickup and dropoff. If you have 2 stops with a short meeting, hourly is usually cheaper.
