TL;DR — In short
Some days cannot be booked as a series of journeys. A meeting overruns, a lunch moves to a second address, a viewing is added at four o’clock. Booked point to point, each of those changes is a new negotiation. Booked by the hour, none of them is a conversation at all.
Your chauffeur holds the full schedule, repositions ahead of you rather than behind you, and waits within a minute of the door. Between appointments the car is your office, your cloakroom and somewhere quiet to take a call.
Executives running a day of meetings across arrondissements. Families seeing the city without carrying anything. Buyers working showrooms during market weeks. Wedding parties. Anyone whose day involves more than three addresses.
It is also the sensible choice for a first visit to Paris. The distances look short on a map and are not, the taxi ranks empty when it rains, and a car on standby removes the entire question.
Time runs from the agreed pick-up to the moment you release the car, minimum three hours. Waiting is not billed differently from driving, because the value of the service is precisely that the car waits.
Journeys beyond the Paris region are quoted separately as long distance work, since they involve mileage rather than availability. If a day drifts outside the ring road we tell you before it does, never afterwards on the invoice.
Three hours. Beyond that the booking runs by the hour, and can be extended on the day if the chauffeur is still free.
No. Availability is the service. Whether the car is moving or parked outside your meeting, the rate is the same.
Yes. Luggage, shopping and coats stay with the vehicle, which remains locked and attended between stops.
We flag it before you leave and quote it as a long distance journey. You will never discover a surcharge after the fact.
