What is included in the hourly price?
Your professional, licensed chauffeur, the vehicle, fuel and the included mileage (20 miles for a 4-hour booking, plus 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. Bottled water, Wi-Fi and phone chargers are provided in every car.
