What Black Car Service Actually Means
It is not about the colour of the paint. It is about the fact that the car was always going to be there.

When Hourly Car Service Beats Point-to-Point
There is an actual break-even point here, and knowing it is worth real money on a long day.
Black Car & Executive
The two models, restated
Point-to-point is a flat fare for a journey with no waiting. You pay for the trip; the traffic risk is ours.
Hourly buys the vehicle and chauffeur for a block of time, with a stated minimum. The car waits, holds your belongings and follows an itinerary that can change.
The break-even, in practice
Count the movements. One or two with a long gap between them: two flat fares are almost always cheaper than holding a vehicle idle. Three or four in a compressed window: it is close, and worth pricing both ways. Five or more, or an unpredictable schedule: hourly wins clearly, and it wins by more the messier the day is.
Add a thumb rule: if the waiting time between stops is under about forty minutes, hourly is usually cheaper than paying for a fresh dispatch each time.
The things that do not show up in the arithmetic
- Your belongings stay in the car. Coats, samples, shopping, files — not carried between five venues.
- No waiting at any stop. The car is already there when you walk out.
- The itinerary can change without renegotiating anything.
- The same chauffeur all day, who by the third stop understands the pattern.
On a day with genuine uncertainty, those are worth more than the price difference. Full detail on hourly limo service.

Frequently asked
What is the minimum for hourly service?
It depends on the vehicle and the day. Sedans and SUVs on weekday daytimes carry the lowest minimums; occasion vehicles on Friday and Saturday nights the highest. We state the minimum for your exact date when we quote.
Can I switch from hourly to a flat fare on the day?
The booking shape is set when you reserve, but if your plans change materially, call dispatch — we would rather rework it than have you pay for hours you no longer need.
Is waiting time charged separately on a flat fare?
Short waits are absorbed. Extended waiting on a point-to-point booking is charged, which is precisely the situation where hourly would have been cheaper — we will flag it when quoting if we can see it coming.
