A full day with a dedicated chauffeur and vehicle is the most efficient way to move through London when you have more than one stop to make — meetings, a wedding, a shopping day, or a multi-venue event. Here’s exactly what it costs, what’s included, and when it makes more sense than booking single journeys.

How Full-Day Chauffeur Hire Works

You book a vehicle and driver for a minimum of 8 hours. Within that window, your chauffeur takes you between as many stops as your day requires — waiting between appointments rather than being re-booked each time. It’s priced as a single fixed day-rate, not as a series of separate fares.

Full-Day Rates by Vehicle

These are our standard published day rates. Full pricing for hourly and point-to-point journeys is on our chauffeur prices page.

What’s Included in Every Full-Day Booking

• A dedicated driver and vehicle — the same chauffeur stays with you for the entire day.
• Waiting time between stops — built into the day rate, not charged separately.
• Multi-stop routing — move between as many addresses as your schedule needs.
• Meet & greet — if your day starts at an airport or train station.
• No mileage cap surprises — reasonable use within Greater London is covered in the quoted rate; longer routes are simply agreed in advance.

Who Full-Day Hire Makes Sense For

Executives running back-to-back meetings across the City and Canary Wharf use full-day hire to turn dead travel time into working time. Wedding parties book it to cover the ceremony, photos, and reception without a running clock — see our dedicated wedding car hire pricing guide for that specific case. Families and tourists use it for a day covering multiple sights without re-booking transport each time, and larger groups travelling together often choose the V-Class or a Sprinter Van to keep everyone in one vehicle.

How to Get the Best Full-Day Rate

• Book in advance — especially for weekends, event dates, and wedding season (May to September).
• Right-size the vehicle — an E-Class full-day booking costs less than a V-Class if you don’t need the extra seats or luggage space.
• Bundle your airport transfer into the day — if your day starts or ends with a Heathrow or City Airport run, ask us to fold it into the same booking rather than arranging it separately.
• Confirm your stops upfront — a rough itinerary at the time of booking helps us allocate the right vehicle and driver from the start.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum booking length for full-day chauffeur hire?

8 hours is our standard minimum for full-day hire. Shorter bookings are available on an hourly basis with a 3-hour minimum.

Is fuel, parking, and the congestion charge included?

Yes, standard running costs within Greater London are included in the quoted day rate. Journeys well outside London, such as long-distance day trips, are quoted separately in advance.

Can I change my stops during the day?

Yes. Your chauffeur works to your schedule, not a fixed itinerary, so plans can shift on the day within the booked hours.

What happens if my day runs longer than expected?

Let your chauffeur know as early as possible. Additional time beyond your booked hours is charged at the vehicle’s standard hourly rate.
