Chauffeur for the Day in LA — From $75/Hr, 3

At a glance

Key facts

Pricing runs by the hour: the executive sedan from $75, the luxury SUV from $100. Rates for special events and holidays may be different from the standard hourly rate, and whatever applies to your date is on screen before anything is confirmed.
8 hours comes to from $600 by sedan and from $800 by SUV. Stretch the same day to ten and the two figures read from $750 and $1,000.
3 hours is the shortest day on sale — from $225, or from $300 with the SUV — and 18 hours the longest. The same chauffeur stays on the booking for its whole length, with no handover anywhere in the middle.
Each hour booked brings 20 miles with it. Overrun the allowance and every further mile is priced: $1 sedan, $2.50 SUV.
Nothing in a day booking is metered. Minutes spent idle — at the curbside, in baggage claim, outside a meeting that overran — attract no per-minute waiting charge at all.
Your hours open at the instant the chauffeur reaches you — a garage door counts for nothing — and they close wherever the day finishes. Begin at an airport and the counting waits for an aircraft to touch down, whatever the timetable promised.
Tolls, taxes and every parking charge a long day racks up — garage, meter, valet — are already inside the price; the lone carve-out is a pass an event venue puts on sale for its own night. Gratuity stays the passenger's choice, and no surcharge attaches to a weekend, a late finish or the rush hour.
iRide360 hourly rides are meant to start and end in the same city. If a day runs outside it, additional charges apply.
iRide360 runs out of El Segundo, a short hop from LAX, on California CPUC charter-party carrier permit TCP 43833-A, with dispatch reachable around the clock on (833) 743-3360.
A day this long is usually booked well ahead, so plans move. Changing it is free: online up to 6 hours before pickup, or by phone to dispatch inside 6 hours, and the price moves to match the new trip. Cancelling is free with a full refund 24 hours or more before pickup; inside 24 hours it is non-refundable.
A day this long is worth booking well ahead, though the engine accepts a reservation from 3 hours out and dispatch takes anything shorter by phone on (833) 743-3360.

Day booking, fact by fact

The whole thing in one table: what a block costs, what the price already carries, and the four rules that decide the final figure.

Precisely what is being bought	Hours, not trips. One chauffeur and one vehicle are held for a block you set — 3 hours at the shortest, 18 at the longest — anywhere in Los Angeles County, California, and the passenger decides the stops as the day goes. The bill is the hourly rate times the block
What a day totals	8 hours: from $600 by executive sedan, from $800 by luxury SUV. 10: from $750 and from $1,000. 5: from $375 and from $500. The 3-hour floor: from $225 and from $300. Each is the published rate — from $75, from $100 — worked out longhand. Rates for special events and holidays may be different from the standard hourly rate. Rush hour, a weekend and a late finish add nothing to it
Miles inside the hour	Each booked hour arrives with 20 miles attached. A day that outruns its allowance adds $1 the mile on the sedan and $2.50 on the SUV — owner-confirmed 6 November 2026, and hourly figures only, because a transfer from point to point is priced on a different per-mile basis
The meter that does not exist	No stretch of a day booking is metered. Curb, terminal or between stops, waiting carries no per-minute charge. Timing starts wherever the passenger is picked up — the garage counts for nothing — and stops at the last address on the list. A start at a terminal is counted from actual touchdown, tracking included. Confirmed by the owner, 6 November 2026
Inside the price, and outside it	In: tolls, taxes, and parking wherever the day stops — garage, meter, valet. Out: the venue pass the guest buys on event nights; gratuity, optional at checkout; time past the block, rounded up to the next 30 minutes; mileage past the allowance; child seats from $25 each; a pet, $25
Two classes, no third	Executive sedan: 3 passengers, 3 bags. Luxury SUV: 5 passengers, 5 bags. Nothing above or below the pair. No vans, no buses, no stretched vehicles. Above 5 seats the answer is a second vehicle, because a party larger than five travels in more than one car on one reservation
How far the day may roam	Hourly rides are meant to start and end in the same city. If a day runs outside it, additional charges apply — the miles past the allowance plus the driving hours out and back, since wheel time is booked time. A day that is in truth one long drive prices better as a transfer: (833) 743-3360
Who runs it	iRide360, a black car operator holding California CPUC charter-party carrier permit TCP 43833-A, at Suite 2000 of 222 N Pacific Coast Hwy, El Segundo, California, which stands next door to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). The dispatch line is staffed at every hour: (833) 743-3360. Every iRide360 vehicle carries at least $750,000 in liability insurance. 5.0★ on Google across 26 reviews

Published rates

How much does a chauffeur for the day cost in Los Angeles?

Ask how much is a chauffeur for a day around Los Angeles and most replies come back as a form to fill in. This one comes back as arithmetic. The booking holds one car and one driver for a block you pick, 3 hours to 18, and the bill is that rate multiplied out across the hours. Every common block is multiplied out below for both classes, with the contents of the rate set out beside it. iRide360 runs it from El Segundo, California, beside LAX, under CPUC permit TCP 43833-A.

In one line: from $75 an hour by executive sedan and from $100 by luxury SUV, so the shortest block lands at $225 and 8 hours at $600. Two classes, one published rate apiece, and no uplift for rush hour, a Saturday or a midnight finish. Pick the hours, read the total — that is the entire cost to hire a driver for a day.

Inside the price: car, chauffeur, idle time, 20 miles for each hour on the booking, tolls, taxes, parking. Outside it: gratuity, time past the block, mileage past the allowance, a venue parking pass, child seats, pets.

Booking length	Executive sedan · from $75/hour	Luxury SUV · from $100/hour	Driving included
The minimum block: 3 hours	from $225	from $300	Allowance 20 miles / hour
5 hours, a long afternoon	from $375	from $500	Allowance 20 miles / hour
8 hours, the standard day	from $600	from $800	Allowance 20 miles / hour
10 hours, dawn to late dinner	from $750	from $1,000	Allowance 20 miles / hour

Any length between three and 18 hours can be booked as a chauffeur for the day; these four are simply the ones most often asked for. Rates for special events and holidays may be different from the standard hourly rate; whichever applies to yours is on screen first.

The arithmetic of a whole day

What does an 8-hour chauffeur for the day cost in Los Angeles?

An 8-hour chauffeur for the day in Los Angeles costs from $600 by executive sedan, and the sum behind that is short: 8 hours at the $75 opening rate, nothing bolted on. Take a guest holding a car from nine in the morning until five in the evening — a chauffeur for a full day — and that $600 buys the vehicle, the driver, every mile up to the allowance, and whatever tolls, taxes and parking the day collects along the way. Gratuity is left to the passenger. The hour of day moves nothing: no surge, and no peak, night or weekend pricing.

Move the same 8 hours into the luxury SUV and they read from $800. 10 hours read from $750 and from $1,000. Rates for special events and holidays may be different from the standard hourly rate; whatever applies to your date is on screen before the booking is confirmed.

Two things, and only two, can move the number afterwards, and both are published rather than buried. A day that runs past its block carries on in 30-minute increments, each rounded up. A day that outdrives its mileage allowance adds $1 a mile on the sedan and $2.50 on the SUV. Past those two, the figure quoted is the figure charged.

Executive sedan, 3 passengers

3 passengers, 3 bags. It is the car for a working day of meetings, for a dinner with a show after it, or for one or two people seeing Los Angeles without parking anything. On the standard executive sedan hourly rate in Los Angeles, the ladder reads from $225, from $375, from $600 and from $750 across three, five, eight and 10 hours.

Luxury SUV, 5 passengers

5 passengers, 5 bags. It is the choice when a family travels as one group, when the day accumulates shopping, or when equipment rides with the passengers. On the standard luxury SUV hourly rate, those same 4 blocks read from $300, from $500, from $800 and from $1,000.

What does an 8-hour chauffeur for the day cost in Los Angeles?

Three at the floor, 18 at the ceiling

How many hours is a chauffeur for the day?

A chauffeur for the day runs from a 3-hour floor to an 18-hour ceiling on one reservation, and any length between them is bookable. The mistake people actually make is booking too few hours rather than too many.

Three to 5 hours: half a day

At the floor, 3 hours costs from $225 by sedan; 5 hours from $375. Half day chauffeur hire covers a round of meetings in one quarter of the city, an afternoon of shopping with the bags staying in the car, or a dinner with a drive at each end of it.

Eight to 10 hours: the whole day

8 hours is what most people picture as a full day chauffeur in Los Angeles — from $600 by sedan, from $800 by SUV. A 10-hour booking, from $750 and from $1,000, is the block for a day that opens early, closes over dinner, or crosses town more than twice.

18 hours, and why the ceiling sits there

18 hours is the longest single reservation. A shoot day, a wedding that begins at a morning hair appointment and ends with a late send-off, or a visitor compressing a city into one run all fit underneath it.

The same chauffeur, first stop to last

3 hours or 18, one person drives all of it. No shift change lands mid-afternoon, and no second driver arrives needing to be told where you have already been.

What if the day overruns?

Overtime rounds up to the next half hour: 20 minutes over bills as 30 minutes, and 40 minutes over bills as a whole extra hour. Say so as early as you can: extending depends on the car and the chauffeur being free past your block.

Six questions, answered straight

What are the five things to check before booking a chauffeur for the day?

Day rates look comparable and rarely are, because every operator draws the line between what is in the rate and what lands on the invoice somewhere different. These are the five questions worth putting to anyone you call — and a sixth that decides more days than the other five together — answered for iRide360.

1. Is waiting time charged?

No, and over a long day that is the entire economics of the thing. A day is mostly gaps: the 20 minutes outside a meeting that overran, the two hours of a dinner, the stretch in a parking structure while a fitting finishes. Nowhere in an iRide360 hourly booking does a per-minute charge for waiting exist, so the gaps are bought once, at the start, and never again.

Compare a point-to-point transfer. The chauffeur there is finished at the drop-off, so waiting has to carry a meter: an arriving flight buys 60 free minutes, and $1 a minute runs after them. That is transfer policy, and it reaches nothing sold by the hour.

2. What mileage comes with a block of hours?

There is a limit, and the chauffeur mileage allowance is printed rather than implied: 20 miles against each hour booked. Past it, mileage bills at $1 (sedan) or $2.50 (SUV). A day can therefore run 8 hours of errands, meetings and dinner and still sit comfortably inside the city without the allowance coming into it at all. What tests the allowance is a day whose shape is freeway rather than streets.

3. Is gratuity included?

No, and nothing is quietly substituted for it. Gratuity is optional, picked at checkout, and paid to the chauffeur. The ladder totals are what the card is charged; no service fee rides on top of them.

4. Are parking, tolls and taxes included?

All three, and parking is the one that counts over a long day, because a long day stops many times. The garage under the office, the meter outside lunch, the valet at dinner: iRide360 settles each of them and none reaches your bill. Tolls and taxes go the same way.

An event venue is the exception. Where a stadium, an arena or a theater sells a parking pass for the night, that pass belongs beside your tickets rather than inside the fare. Skipping it costs you nothing on the day — the chauffeur parks off-site and brings the car around when you call.

5. From what moment is time counted?

At you. Counting opens wherever the chauffeur collects you and closes at the day's last address; the empty run out to find you is absorbed by iRide360.

Start from a terminal and counting waits for the aircraft to touch down, whatever the timetable promised. Tracking is built in, so two hours of delay push the block later rather than eat into it.

6. May the day cross the city line?

Hourly rides are meant to start and end in the same city. If a day runs outside it, additional charges apply.

In practice one shape of day meets this rule and no other does. Errands, meetings and dinner inside Los Angeles never approach it. A day whose real content is a single long drive crosses it twice over: once on miles past the allowance, at $1 or $2.50, and again on hours, since time behind the wheel is time on the booking. Put it to dispatch — (833) 743-3360 — and have the day priced as a transfer, which almost always lands lower.

What are the five things to check before booking a chauffeur for the day?

What happens in the gaps

How does a day with your chauffeur work?

Can you set your own itinerary?

Every stop in advance, or none at all. Some guests send a timed list the night before; others give one address and decide the rest as the day unfolds. A chauffeur for the day works either way, driving where you point for as long as the block runs.

What happens between the stops?

The car stays. The chauffeur keeps it close and stays reachable, so walking out of a meeting, a restaurant or a fitting room does not begin with requesting a car and waiting for somebody to accept. None of that holding time is billed.

What is in the car?

Bottled Fiji water, free Wi-Fi on board, phone chargers. Over 10 hours those stop being garnish: they are why a call can happen between two stops, and why the last appointment of the day gets the same version of you as the first. Other requests are taken at booking.

Where do luggage and shopping go?

They stay aboard. 3 bags fit the sedan and 5 the SUV, and anything acquired during the day travels on with you instead of being carried into the next stop.

Four shapes of day

Who hires a driver for a day in Los Angeles?

Four shapes of day hire a driver for a day in Los Angeles: the visitor who refuses to rent, the working day with stops on both sides of town, the group that wants to arrive together, and the long event day that starts before breakfast.

Visitors who would rather not rent

Santa Monica, the Getty, Hollywood and dinner is four parking problems and three waits for a car to show up. One booking deletes all seven, and nobody in the party has to think about a garage.

A working day on both sides of town

Meetings scattered across the basin with dead time between them is the exact shape this is built for: the dead time is bought already, and nothing has to be re-requested in between. It is what most people mean by a private driver for a day in Los Angeles.

Groups traveling as one

5 passengers and 5 bags fit a single luxury SUV, so a group arrives as a group instead of in two cars 10 minutes apart. A party larger than five travels in more than one car on one reservation.

Long days built around an event

A wedding, a premiere or a production call that opens in the morning and closes late sits inside one reservation, with one chauffeur across the whole of it.

Who hires a driver for a day in Los Angeles?

Parking, and whose problem it is

From the driver's seat

Parking belongs to the chauffeur, not to the passenger. A great many Los Angeles addresses have nothing at the door, and when that is the case the chauffeur holds nearby, finds a space close by, stays in contact, and comes to meet you when you are ready. You arrange none of it, and the time it costs is already inside the hours you booked — it is never charged on top of them.

Two classes, and nothing else

What is in the fleet for a day booking, and what is not?

Two classes, and the list ends there. The executive sedan takes 3 people and 3 bags, from $75 the hour. The full-size luxury SUV takes 5 and 5, from $100. Either books online or through dispatch, and a party larger than five travels in more than one car on one reservation.

For anyone arriving from a search on limo cost per hour: iRide360 is a black car service. No vans, no buses, no stretched vehicles. On offer is a chauffeured black sedan or a chauffeured SUV, for 3 hours or for 18.

Why do clients book iRide360 for a full day?

Where the day may go

How far out of town can a day go?

Hourly rides are meant to start and end in the same city. If a day runs outside it, additional charges apply.

Inside the city nothing is fenced off. Century City, Downtown, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Pasadena, the South Bay, the Valley and the airports are ordinary ground for a booking sold by the hour, and no itinerary has to be declared when you reserve.

A day that leaves is not turned down, it is priced: the miles past the 20-an-hour allowance at $1 or $2.50, and the driving hours in both directions, since hours spent at the wheel are hours charged to the booking. For a genuinely long haul, have it priced as a transfer instead — (833) 743-3360 — which is usually the cheaper way to buy the day.

Side by side

Is hiring a driver for a day cheaper than booking separate rides?

Whether to hire a driver for a day or book rides one at a time turns on waiting rather than mileage — on how much of the day is spent not moving.

	One block of booked hours	One-off rides, booked as needed
Suits	Stops set close together, short gaps, or a stop whose finishing time nobody can promise — a fitting, a meeting that runs over, a long dinner.	Two or three journeys separated by hours of dead time.
The bill covers	Every hour in the block, moving or parked.	Moving time only.
In the gaps	The car stays put with the chauffeur beside it, and the holding time is free.	A fresh request each time you come out, and a wait for someone to take it.

Count the gaps, not the miles.

Answers before you travel

Chauffeur for the day: the questions buyers ask

What is the price of a full day with a chauffeur in Los Angeles?

8 hours is from $600 by executive sedan and from $800 by luxury SUV; 10 hours from $750 and $1,000. The rates behind those totals are from $75 and $100 an hour, already carrying tolls, taxes and parking, with gratuity left to you.

How much is an 8-hour chauffeur in Los Angeles?

From $600 by executive sedan, from $800 by luxury SUV. An 8-hour chauffeur in Los Angeles is the published rate — from $75 or $100 — times eight, and that figure already holds the driver, the waiting, the mileage allowance and every toll, tax and parking charge.

What is the minimum and maximum booking for a chauffeur for the day?

3 hours at the short end, from $225 by sedan and from $300 by SUV; 18 hours at the long end, on one reservation. Anything between is bookable, though five, eight and ten are the blocks people ask for.

Will one chauffeur cover the whole day?

Yes. One person drives the reservation end to end, 3 hours or 18. No shift change lands in the middle of it, and nobody new arrives needing to be told where you have been or where you are headed next.

What does the hourly rate include?

Car, chauffeur, every idle minute, 20 miles for each hour on the booking, plus the tolls, taxes and parking the day racks up. Fiji bottled water, onboard Wi-Fi and chargers ride along with you. Gratuity is never folded in.

At what point do extra miles start costing?

20 miles ride with each booked hour. Past the allowance, further mileage runs $1 the mile in the sedan and $2.50 in the SUV. A day spent crossing town between stops seldom gets near the line; a day built on freeway distance does.

Is gratuity included?

No, and nothing stands in for it. Gratuity is optional, chosen at checkout, and goes to the chauffeur. The ladder figures — from $225, $375, $600, $750 by sedan — are the amounts quoted and the amounts charged.

Does parking at each stop land on my bill?

iRide360 does, on all three. Garage tickets, meters and valet stubs across the day are settled by the operator and never reach your bill, and tolls and taxes go the same way. One exception: the pass a venue sells on event nights is yours to buy.

What moment does the booked time begin?

At whatever address collects you; the garage does not count. It stops at the day's last address. Arriving by air, counting begins at the flight's actual landing time rather than the printed one, and tracking comes with the booking.

Is the waiting between stops billed on top?

It is not. Car and driver stay put across the whole block, so an hour spent inside a restaurant and 20 minutes outside a meeting were bought at the start. Nowhere in the booking does a per-minute waiting charge exist.

Can I extend the booking if the day runs long?

Usually, provided the car and chauffeur are free afterwards. Overrun rounds up to the next half hour, so 20 minutes past the block bills as 30 minutes and 40 minutes past it bills as a whole extra hour. Tell the chauffeur the moment you suspect it.

Is a day booking cheaper than separate rides?

It turns on waiting, not distance. Journeys separated by hours of dead time usually suit one-off rides. Stops close together, brief gaps, or a finish nobody can promise usually suit a block of hours. Count the gaps.

Which two vehicles can a day booking use?

An executive sedan, 3 passengers and 3 bags, from $75 the hour; a luxury SUV, 5 and 5, from $100. Anyone weighing limo cost per hour should measure against that pair. No vans, no buses, no stretched vehicles.

Can the chauffeur drive me out of Los Angeles?

Yes, and it costs more. Hourly rides are meant to start and end in the same city. If a day runs outside it, additional charges apply: surplus miles at $1 or $2.50, and the driving hours out and back as well.
