What is the difference between an hourly booking and a chauffeur retainer?
An hourly booking reserves a chauffeur for a specific block of hours on a single occasion. A retainer reserves a chauffeur's time on a recurring basis — weekly or monthly — under an agreed schedule and terms. Retainers suit ongoing needs; hourly bookings suit one-off trips, meetings, or events.
When to choose each
Choose hourly for occasional use. Choose a retainer when you need consistent availability, the same chauffeur, or predictable monthly costs.
