By the hour
The car stays with you.
Three meetings in a morning, a day of viewings, dinner and the theatre, a wedding, a raceday. Where the day is not one journey, booking the car by the hour is usually both simpler and cheaper than booking each leg. Any of the four cars can be taken this way.

How it works
One chauffeur, all day.
You give the collection and the hours. The same chauffeur and the same car stay with you for the whole hire, waiting while you are inside, so your things stay in the boot and nobody has to be briefed twice.
Where you go between calls is yours to decide on the day. The hours are what is booked; the route is not.
Waiting inside a booked hire costs nothing extra — it is what the hourly rate is paying for.

Questions
What is the minimum?
3 hours on every car but Executive, which takes four, and up to 12 hours in one day. Longer than that is two days with a night in between, and is priced that way.
How much driving is included?
120 miles inside a 8-hour day, pro rata for shorter hires — fifteen miles for every hour booked. Beyond that, mileage is charged at that car’s own rate, from £2.40 a mile. A day spent inside Oxfordshire rarely reaches it; a day that runs to London and back will.
Is a day cheaper than the hours that make it up?
Yes. A 8-hour day on Standard is £456 against £496 for the same hours bought one at a time, and the quote always takes the cheaper of the two.
What if we run over?
The extra hours are charged at the same rate, not at a penalty rate. Tell the chauffeur on the day and it is settled afterwards.
