Chauffeur Service Fort Lauderdale

Our dispatch team arranges hourly charter service for Fort Lauderdale clients who need a car on standby rather than point-to-point transfers. This service suits executives running between downtown offices, sales teams visiting multiple properties, and retail buyers touring showrooms. We coordinate through local affiliate operators who remain with the vehicle for the duration of the reservation.

Common hourly itineraries include Las Olas Boulevard, the Galleria at Fort Lauderdale, Sawgrass Mills in Sunrise, and meetings along A1A. Real estate developers often use hourly charters to show investors properties from downtown to the beach. Yacht brokers and captains also book hourly service when they need flexibility between shipyards, marinas, and supplier meetings.

Pricing is based on vehicle class and total reserved hours. Sedans typically start at a three-hour minimum, while SUVs and sprinter vans require longer minimums. For example, a sedan from FLL to Las Olas Boulevard starts at $130 for a single transfer, but hourly charters are priced separately by the hour. Rates increase for premium vehicles, late-night service, and holiday periods.

Fort Lauderdale's event calendar affects hourly availability. The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show in late October or early November is the busiest week of the year for hourly charters. Spring break in March and large conventions at the Broward County Convention Center also reduce last-minute vehicle availability.

One honest limitation is that hourly time includes waiting time and traffic delays. If your meeting runs long or I-95 is backed up, that time counts against your reserved block. We recommend padding schedules by fifteen to thirty minutes to avoid overtime charges.

What the three-hour minimum means in dollars

Every hourly booking has a three-hour minimum. At published rates that works out to $360 for the executive sedan ($120 per hour), $450 for the Cadillac Escalade ($150 per hour), $690 for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class ($230 per hour) and $720 for the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter ($240 per hour). If the day runs past the booked block, overtime is billed in increments at the agreed rate. The quote is written before you book, so there is no meter to watch.

Days that suit an hourly car

Dinner and a show. Pickup at home, dinner on Las Olas Boulevard, a performance at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, then home. The car waits between stops.

Property tours. Downtown towers, the Galt Mile condominiums on Galt Ocean Drive, the canal homes of the Las Olas Isles and Coral Ridge in one loop.

Shopping days. The Galleria at Fort Lauderdale on Sunrise Boulevard and Sawgrass Mills in Sunrise are a morning apart; bags ride in the trunk.

Marina and yard visits. Brokers and captains moving between Bahia Mar, Pier Sixty-Six and the yards along the New River.

How to plan the block

List the stops in order and add realistic time at each. Then add travel time: the bridges over the Intracoastal Waterway at Las Olas Boulevard and the 17th Street Causeway open for boat traffic, and I-95 and I-595 slow at rush hour. Building in fifteen to thirty minutes of slack is cheaper than overtime and keeps the day calm. If you are not sure how long you need, tell dispatch what you are trying to fit in and we will suggest a block.
