How Much Does a Chauffeur for a Day Cost?
Hourly chauffeur pricing explained with real numbers: what 2 to 12 hours costs in a sedan or SUV, the minimum, and what to ask before you book.
How much does a chauffeur for a day cost? With hourly chauffeur service, the price is the hourly rate for the vehicle multiplied by the hours you book, subject to a minimum. At Mak Louren, hourly service is $100 per hour in a Business Sedan and $125 per hour in a Business SUV, with a 2-hour minimum. So an 8-hour day costs $800 in a sedan or $1,000 in an SUV, before gratuity. Here is how the math works and what else to ask about.
- Business Sedan (up to 3 passengers)
- $100 per hour, 2-hour minimum. An 8-hour day is $800.1
- Business SUV (up to 6 passengers)
- $125 per hour, 2-hour minimum. An 8-hour day is $1,000.1
- Not included
- Gratuity is not included and is optional.1 First Class vehicles, the Business VAN and the Premium Stretch Limo are quoted individually.

How hourly chauffeur pricing works
With hourly (also called as-directed) service, the car and chauffeur stay with you for the hours you book. They go where you direct and wait between stops. You pay for time, not for each leg of the trip.
- Minimum booking. Mak Louren’s hourly service has a 2-hour minimum.1
- Vehicle class. The Business Sedan carries up to 3 passengers and the Business SUV up to 6. Larger groups can ask about the Business VAN, which carries up to 15 and is quoted individually.1
- Running over. If your plans change during the booking, tell the chauffeur or dispatch as early as you can so the time can be extended.
- Gratuity. Not included in the hourly rate.1
For a single trip, such as one airport transfer, a one-way rate is usually better value than hourly. Logan Airport rates are on the rates page.
Questions to ask before you book
- What is the minimum, and when does the clock start?
- How are extra hours billed if the day runs long?
- Are tolls and parking during the booking included, or billed separately?
- Which vehicle is quoted, and how many passengers and suitcases does it hold?
- What is the cancellation policy for an hourly booking?
