Booking in four steps
Choose date, time and hours
Pick the start time and how many hours you need (3 at the minimum), at least 24 hours ahead.
Tell us your plan
Pickup address, a rough idea of the stops and how many of you are travelling.
Confirm and pay
You see the price and a summary, then pay securely by card (Stripe) or PayPal.
Your chauffeur-host at the door
A receipt and calendar invite arrive after payment; before the day you receive your driver and vehicle details.
A chauffeur-host for the hours you need
A chauffeur by the hour means a car with driver waiting for you rather than a route from A to B. Use it for a day of meetings across Paris, a shopping afternoon, an evening out or a sightseeing circuit you decide as you go.
You choose the pickup time and the number of hours — three at the least. Your chauffeur-host drives, suggests a sensible order for the stops and stays with the car while you are inside; that time is part of your booking.
If you need more hours
Tell us early if you might need more time — it is easiest to plan — and extra hours are charged at the same rate. From 8 hours, the chauffeur for 8 hours package at €450 is better value than the hourly rate.
When the route leaves the city
The hourly price applies in Paris and the nearby area approved for the service. A day at Versailles, Giverny or Champagne is a different kind of journey — we quote those personally: see private day trips from Paris.
How the day works
Your chauffeur-host meets you at your hotel or address at the agreed start time. Share a rough idea of your stops when you book — you can change the order on the day within the booked hours.
If you want to change the plan, tell your chauffeur-host or message us on WhatsApp.
