Chauffeur prices in London — your questions answered
How much does a chauffeur cost in London, for example per hour?
A chauffeur in London with Excel Chauffeurs costs from £72 per hour for an Executive Mercedes E-Class, £90 per hour for a First Class Mercedes S-Class or BMW 7 Series, and £132 per hour for a Range Rover, all including VAT. Hourly bookings have a 4-hour minimum, so a chauffeur for 4 hours starts at £288. Meanwhile, fixed one-way transfers start at £120.
How much does a chauffeur cost from Heathrow to Central London?
Heathrow to Central London costs from £144 in an Executive E-Class, £180 in a First Class S-Class or a Premium MPV V-Class, £220 in a First Exclusive S500/S580, £330 in a Range Rover and £468 in a Jet Class MPV, including VAT. The starting fare also includes meet & greet, live flight monitoring and 60 minutes of free waiting after landing. Applicable airport parking, drop-off fees and Congestion Charge are added to your quote before confirmation.
Can I hire a chauffeur for just 2 hours rather than 4?
Hourly hire has a 4-hour minimum, so we charge a 2-hour requirement as 4 hours — from £288 in an Executive E-Class. However, if you only need a single A-to-B journey, a fixed one-way transfer from £120 is usually the better value. Unused time within the minimum is not refunded and cannot be carried over or combined with another booking.
Can I hire a chauffeur and car for a whole day, for example 8 hours?
Yes: full-day hire is 8 hours minimum, so the hourly rate is lower, from £66 per hour. For example, that is £528 for the day in an Executive E-Class or £672 in a First Class S-Class, including VAT. It also includes 60 miles within Greater London, as well as 10 miles for each additional hour.
What does the hourly price include?
Your professional, licensed chauffeur, the vehicle, fuel and the included mileage (20 miles for a 4-hour booking, as well as 10 miles per extra hour). The chauffeur stays with the car between stops, so you can make as many stops as you like within your booked time. In addition, every car has bottled water, Wi-Fi and phone chargers.
Do your prices include VAT?
Yes: every London chauffeur price on this page includes VAT at 20%. We also show ex-VAT figures for corporate clients who book on an invoiced business account.
How much waiting time is free, for example at Heathrow?
Airport collections include 60 minutes of free waiting after your flight lands, as well as live flight monitoring. Private jet and train station collections include 30 minutes, while all other pickups include 15 minutes.
What does a chauffeur cost outside London, for example on a day trip?
Out-of-town hire starts at £96 per hour for an Executive E-Class, although an 8-hour minimum applies. It also includes 150 miles, as well as 25 miles for each extra hour. For example, it covers day trips, UK-wide business travel and transfers to airports and venues outside Greater London.
Are there any extra charges?
Applicable charges are added to the advertised starting fare: we add airport parking, drop-off charges and the London Congestion Charge (a flat £18, where the journey enters the zone) at cost into your quote, so the final price you see before you pay is the total price — we add nothing after the journey. Similarly, we show event-area and night-time supplements, where they apply, in your quote before you confirm — no hidden fees.
