Booking black car service in Los Angeles should be straightforward — but the options can be confusing if you're new to chauffeured transportation. This guide walks you through the booking process, pricing models, and what information to include in your request.
Point-to-point vs. hourly hire
Point-to-point is best for airport transfers, city-to-city trips, and single-destination rides. You provide pickup and drop-off addresses, and the rate is fixed.
Hourly hire — our hourly chauffeur service — is ideal when you need flexibility: multiple stops, as-directed service, or a chauffeur on standby for meetings, shopping, or a full day of appointments. Minimum booking is typically three hours.
When in doubt, choose hourly. LA traffic is unpredictable — flexibility is worth the premium.
What to include in your request
A complete quote request gets you an accurate price faster:
- Pickup address and date/time
- Destination(s) — or "as-directed" for hourly
- Passenger count — determines vehicle class
- Special requests — car seat, extra luggage, meet-and-greet
- Return trip or multi-day needs — if applicable
Submit your request through our contact page or text us directly — we respond within the hour.
