How it works

Booking a ride by the hour gives you flexibility and control over your time and destinations. Your driver is available for the full duration of your booking, allowing spontaneous stops or changes along the route.

\n\n

How it works

\n

You select the number of hours you need the driver and vehicle. The driver will arrive at your pickup location at the scheduled time and remain at your disposal for the duration of the booking.

\n\n

Included mileage

\n

Each hourly booking includes 30 kilometers / 20 miles per hour at no extra cost. Additional mileage beyond this allowance will be charged according to our booking conditions.

\n\n

Extending your ride

\n

To extend your hourly booking, notify your driver. Extensions are subject to availability and billed in 1-hour increments at the original hourly rate.

\n\n
