Date Night Car Service LA — From $75/Hr, 3-Hour Minimum

At a glance

Key facts

Two people, one table, one car. An evening like this is sold as a run of hours instead of as a journey, so whatever collects you at 7 is parked somewhere near the restaurant at 9 and is still yours at 10.
The executive sedan asks from $75 an hour. The luxury SUV asks from $100. Two people at a table want the sedan; the SUV's extra room is room you are paying to leave empty.
The smallest evening anybody can buy is 3 hours — from $225 by sedan, from $300 by SUV — and 18 hours is where a single booking stops.
Most dinners are shorter than 3 hours, and this page would rather say so now than let you find out on the invoice. What you buy is hours, not the hours you happen to use. One restaurant near home, no call for the car in between, and two separate one-way rides can easily come to less than from $225.
Standing still is never charged. An evening booked by the hour has no per-minute waiting charge in it at any point — not on your doorstep, not at the curb outside the restaurant, not while the two of you decide whether the night is over.
Go beyond the hours you booked and the overflow is sold in half hours, and a part half hour counts as a whole one. Book 7 until 10, walk out at 10:20, and the evening settles at 3 hours 30 minutes; walk out at 10:40 and it settles at 4 hours. Keep this apart from the rule above: while booked hours are left, nothing at all is counted, and the rounding only begins after they run out.
The valet is somebody else's errand. Parking, tolls and road taxes come off iRide360's side at every address of the evening — the stand outside the restaurant included. One thing stays yours, and that is a venue's own entry pass, sold alongside its tickets. Where none is sold, the chauffeur stands off nearby and returns on a phone call.
Each hour you book travels with 20 miles. Past the allowance a sedan charges $1 the mile and an SUV $2.50, so 10 miles over is $10 or $25. The 20s pool across the evening, so a four-hour booking carries 80 miles between dinner, the show and the drive home rather than rationing them hour by hour.
Charging begins the moment you get in, wherever that is — never where the car spent the afternoon — and stops at the night's last address. Start at an airport instead and it begins when the wheels are actually down, the flight watched for you at no cost.
The same chauffeur drives all of it, 3 hours or 18, so whoever opens the door at the restaurant is whoever is there when you come back out.
The tip is yours to name and none of it is attached before you have looked at it. Four presets wait at checkout — 15, 18, 20 and 25 percent — next to an open box that will take $0.
Rates for special events and holidays may be different from the standard hourly rate, and you see the full price of your own date before agreeing to anything. Nothing else shifts it: no surge, no peak rate, nothing added for being out late and nothing added for it being Saturday. A table at nine on a Saturday prices like a table at one on a Tuesday.
Hourly rides are meant to start and end in the same city. If a day runs outside it, additional charges apply — you pay twice over, once in distance and once on the clock, because time on the road is time you booked.
Two classes of car exist here and there is no third: 3 seats and 3 bags in the executive sedan, 5 seats and 5 bags in the luxury SUV. No vans, no buses, no stretched vehicles. A party larger than five travels in more than one car on one reservation.
In the car, at no cost, on every booking: Fiji bottled water, Wi-Fi and something to charge a phone with. Anything beyond that, ask as you book.
All of it runs on one permit: California CPUC charter-party carrier permit TCP 43833-A. The office sits in El Segundo, California, and somebody answers (833) 743-3360 whatever time you call. Rated 5.0★ on Google from 26 reviews.
An evening booked ahead of a show or a table often shifts with them. 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.
The evening runs from the hour you booked it for. Coming out to the car ten minutes late spends ten minutes of the evening rather than extending it.

Service facts

Everything an evening for two turns on, set out in one place — what the hours cover, what iRide360 settles, what arrives on top, and the point at which this stops being the sensible thing to buy.

What the two of you are buying	A car and a chauffeur put aside for a stretch of the evening rather than sent on an errand. You are dropped at the door, the car goes nowhere else while you eat, and it takes you home afterwards
The hour, and the smallest evening	An hour of executive sedan goes from $75, an hour of luxury SUV from $100. Nobody may buy fewer than 3 of them, which is from $225 or from $300, nor more than 18 on one booking. Rates for special events and holidays may be different from the standard hourly rate, with your own date priced in full first. Nothing else shifts the number — no surge, no peak rate, nothing for the hour, nothing for the day
Where this page argues against itself	Two hours at a table inside a 3-hour booking still comes to from $225. The unused hour is not discounted and there is no shorter booking. For a single restaurant near home, two one-way rides can come to less, and the section below works out when they do
Standing still	Never charged, at any stage. A table that overruns by 40 minutes costs what a table that does not costs, as long as booked hours remain
Past the booked hours	Sold in half hours, with a part half hour counting whole. Booked 7 until 10, out at 10:20, and it settles at 3 hours 30 minutes; out at 10:40 and it settles at 4 hours. None of that starts until the booked hours are spent
Driving inside, and driving beyond	Each hour booked comes with 20 miles. Over the allowance a sedan mile costs $1 and an SUV mile $2.50. Both belong to hourly bookings alone; a one-way transfer is costed on a wholly different basis and that basis is not published here
Who settles the parking	iRide360 — the valet stand, the garage, the meter, the toll, the tax, at every address of the night. A venue's own entry pass is the single exception, bought when the tickets are. Lacking one, the chauffeur stands off close by and returns when phoned
The tip	Entirely yours, and never added for you. The four presets at checkout are 15, 18, 20 and 25 percent, beside an open box that accepts $0. It goes to the chauffeur who drove
When charging starts and stops	When you get in, at the address you named, and it stops at the last one of the night. Getting out to you is iRide360's cost. Start at an airport and it begins on the real touchdown, the flight watched for you, so a late plane pushes the evening back rather than eating into it
The two cars	Executive sedan, 3 seats and 3 bags. Luxury SUV, 5 seats and 5 bags. There is no third class — no vans, no buses, no stretched vehicles. A party larger than five travels in more than one car on one reservation
How far it may wander	Hourly rides are meant to start and end in the same city. If a day runs outside it, additional charges apply, in distance and on the clock both
Who is behind it	A black car service based in El Segundo, running on one CPUC permit, TCP 43833-A. Somebody picks up (833) 743-3360 at any hour. Every iRide360 vehicle carries at least $750,000 in liability insurance. Your ride is operated by iRide360 or a vetted, licensed affiliate partner

The evening at a glance

Thirteen lines, ending on the rule that decides an evening booked across a city line.

The shape of it	Hours held against one car, not a route handed in beforehand
Per hour	The executive sedan asks from $75; the luxury SUV asks from $100. Rates for special events and holidays may be different from the standard hourly rate
Least and most you may buy	3 hours · 18 hours
A dinner-sized evening	Sedan from $225 · SUV from $300
Dinner with a show after it	5 hours: sedan from $375 · SUV from $500
Miles riding along	20 against each hour. Run through them and a sedan asks $1 the mile, an SUV $2.50
The car sitting outside	Costs nothing, at any stage of the booking
A table that overruns	Costs nothing, while booked hours are left
An evening that outlasts the hours	Half hours, part ones counting whole
Valet, garage, meter, tolls, taxes	Settled by iRide360. Only a venue's own entry pass is yours
The tip	Four presets at checkout — 15, 18, 20, 25 percent — or a figure you type, $0 included
Charging begins	Where you get in — or, from an airport, on the real touchdown
How far it may wander	Hourly rides are meant to start and end in the same city; past that, distance and clock are both charged

Published rates

What a date night car service costs in Los Angeles

Both hourly numbers are printed here rather than read out on request, so you can do the sum at the kitchen table before anybody commits to anything.

Booking length	Executive sedan · 3 seats	Luxury SUV · 5 seats	Driving
3 hours — out, dinner, home; the least on sale	from $225	from $300	20 miles to the hour
4 hours — a slow table, or a drive before it	from $300	from $400	20 miles to the hour
5 hours — dinner and a show, with room either side	from $375	from $500	20 miles to the hour
8 hours — a night that gets going in the afternoon	from $600	from $800	20 miles to the hour

Each cell is a finished total rather than a rate to multiply: three sedan hours come to from $225, and five come to from $375. Each booked hour travels with 20 miles, which is where the right-hand column comes from. Parking, tolls and road taxes sit inside those totals. The tip does not — that one is yours. Rates for special events and holidays may be different from the standard hourly rate; whichever one your own date falls under is up on the screen, in full, while the two of you are still making up your minds. Two things this table is not. It is not a per-head number, because two people splitting one evening are not splitting anything — the bill is the bill. And it is not a quote: the hours decide it, never the restaurant.

What the hourly rate includes

The car and the chauffeur for every hour you booked, including every hour the car spends standing outside somewhere.
20 miles with each booked hour, in both classes.
The valet stand, the garage and the meter at every address of the night, along with the tolls and the road taxes. None of it touches your card.
Flight tracking where the evening opens at an airport, so charging waits for the real touchdown and a late plane pushes the booking back.
Fiji bottled water, Wi-Fi and a phone charger, free, every time.

What is not included

The tip — named by you at checkout — 15, 18, 20 or 25 percent, a figure you type, or $0 — and it goes to the chauffeur who drove.
Any time past the booked hours — sold in half hours with a part half hour counting whole, so an evening booked 7 until 10 that ends at 10:20 settles at 3 hours 30 minutes and one ending at 10:40 settles at 4 hours.
Any distance past the allowance — $1 a further mile in the executive sedan, $2.50 in the luxury SUV.
A venue's own entry pass, where a venue sells one — bought with the tickets, not by iRide360.

What a couple is actually paying for

An evening for two, bought as hours instead of as two rides

A date night car service is the plainest thing iRide360 sells. You take a stretch of the evening, a car and a chauffeur come with it, you are driven to the table, and the car is somewhere close by until you want it again. No route is submitted beforehand and nothing has to be arranged between the courses.

For two people that alters less about the driving than it alters about the evening. Nobody checks a phone at 10:40 to see how far away a car is. Nobody stands outside a restaurant holding a coat. What you brought stays on the back seat, and the person who drove you out is the person who drives you back.

It is worth naming what a couple is really paying for, because it is not transport. Two one-way rides would be transport. What the hours buy is an evening in which the car is simply not a topic — and iRide360 would rather sell that honestly, the part where it is the wrong purchase included, than pretend a chauffeur makes a dinner romantic. A chauffeur drives. The rest of the evening is yours.

An evening for two, bought as hours instead of as two rides

Said first rather than last

The awkward part: 3 hours is longer than most dinners

Here is the thing a page like this ought to say first and usually leaves until last.

The least iRide360 sells is 3 hours, which is from $225 by executive sedan. A table held for 7:30 is generally finished by half nine. Twenty minutes out, two hours seated, twenty minutes back: an evening of two hours and a bit, bought and billed as 3. The hour you never used is not taken off, and there is no 2-hour version of this.

So for one restaurant, close to where you live, with no reason to keep a car while you are inside it, two one-way rides can come to less than from $225. If the number is the only thing you are weighing, take the two rides.

What those two rides come to depends completely on the two addresses, which is why there is no single figure to put next to from $225 and why this page will not make one up. Type the pair of them into the booking form, see what one leg comes to on your own route, double that, and hold the result against the table further down. It is a minute's work and nobody else can do it for you.

Where the hours start to earn it back. These are facts, not persuasion:

A second address is free: dinner and then somewhere else is the same booking and the same price, because hours were what you bought and a route was not.
A long table is free: dessert, another coffee, a conversation neither of you wants to end — while booked hours are left, none of it is counted.
The way home already exists: it is not a problem to solve at eleven o'clock, and no hour of any night carries a surcharge.
The valet is not yours to deal with: nor is the garage, nor the meter. Where the car ends up is somebody else's errand, paid for out of a price you have already seen.
The total was settled before you left the house: from $225 is from $225, whatever the evening decides to do.

The honest summary is short. An evening with some slack in it — two stops, a late finish, a restaurant where parking is a project of its own — earns the minimum comfortably. A short, single-stop dinner near home might not, and that is worth checking beforehand rather than afterwards.

3 seats, 5 seats, and nothing above either

The two cars, and why two people usually want the smaller one

Executive sedan, from $75 an hour

Black, rated for 3 passengers and 3 bags. For a table for two this is the car, and saying so plainly is more use than a fleet page, because the other one costs more for space you will leave empty.

Luxury SUV, from $100 an hour

Full-size and black, rated for 5 passengers and 5 bags. Take it when a second couple is coming, when the height and the wider door are worth something, or when there is anything to carry. Seats and bag space are the whole of what the extra from $25 an hour buys.

Nothing bigger, and what happens past five

No vans, no buses, no stretched vehicles. There are two classes and no third. A party larger than five travels in more than one car on one reservation, pulling up together and leaving together.

What is actually in the car

Fiji bottled water, Wi-Fi and a phone charger, free, every time. Nothing is decorated and nothing is staged — no champagne, no flowers, no arrangement of the back seat — and this page will not promise any of it. If there is something you want seen to, ask as you book and dispatch will tell you whether it can be done.

The two cars, and why two people usually want the smaller one

Five for anybody, the sixth for this evening

Six things to settle before booking any car by the hour

Put the first five to any chauffeur company in Los Angeles and compare what comes back. The sixth is the one that quietly costs people money, and hardly anybody publishes it.

Does the car cost anything while it sits outside the restaurant?

Not a cent. Nowhere in an evening bought by the hour is there a per-minute waiting charge — not at the first pickup, not through a two-hour dinner, not while the two of you work out whether to go on somewhere. Paying for the hours is what pays for the standing still, which is the entire mechanism behind buying an evening this way instead of a ride at a time.

The contrast is worth drawing once, because iRide360 also sells one-way transfers and those read differently. A transfer buys a single journey, so once the drop-off is done a waiting clock exists. Hours bought in advance have already covered the time, and nothing in the transfer policy reaches this booking.

How far can the evening drive before a mile costs money?

Each hour booked arrives with 20 miles. Hold that against the evening you are actually planning, which is far more use than the word “included”.

Over the allowance, $1 buys a further sedan mile and $2.50 a further SUV one. Both numbers are printed here instead of being produced on request, which makes the worst case arithmetic you can do in advance rather than discover afterwards. Extra distance is charged per mile at those two figures: 10 miles over is $10 in the sedan or $25 in the SUV, and 50 over is $50 or $125.

The booked hours pool their 20s between them rather than each hour carrying its own, which is the answer that suits an evening: the slow hours pay for the long drive. Dinner across town, a show afterwards and a drive back is not the shape of evening that turns on the answer. If yours involves long freeway stretches, call (833) 743-3360 and have dispatch work it out before you book; the section below describes the kind of evening where it starts to matter.

Is a tip added before we see it?

No. The checkout screen shows four presets — 15, 18, 20 and 25 percent — with an open box beside them that accepts $0, and the chauffeur who drove receives whatever you settle on. Ask any operator this before a long evening. Where a tip is compulsory at 20 percent, a 5-hour SUV evening carries from $100 that was never in the price you were shown.

Who settles the valet, the garage and the tolls?

iRide360 settles all of them. The stand outside the restaurant, the garage next to the theater, the meter on the street, the toll on the way — none of them touches your card. Where the car ends up is the chauffeur's errand and iRide360's cost, which on a Friday in a crowded block is not a small thing.

One item sits outside the arrangement: the entry pass a venue sells to let a car into its own lot. Where one is sold with the tickets, buying it is the guest's job rather than iRide360's. Where none is sold, the chauffeur stands off somewhere near and comes back when you phone.

From what moment are we paying?

From the moment you get in, and not a minute sooner. Getting out to meet you is iRide360's cost, and the booking closes at the night's final address; whatever the car does afterwards is nobody's bill but ours.

An evening that begins at an airport is the one variation. There the hours open on the real touchdown rather than the time printed on the ticket, the flight is watched for you at no charge, and a delay pushes the whole booking back instead of swallowing part of it.

Two rules, easily confused

If dinner runs long, and if the evening outlasts the booking

Two different rules, easily confused, so they are set out one after the other.

While booked hours are left: nothing happens

The table goes 40 minutes past where you thought it would. Somebody orders another coffee. Neither costs anything. No minute of an hourly booking is counted while booked hours remain, wherever the car happens to be standing. An evening that overruns inside its own hours and an evening that finishes early are priced the same.

Once the booked hours are gone: half hours, part ones counting whole

A word to the chauffeur, or a call to (833) 743-3360, and the booking stretches. Past the hours you bought, time comes in half hours, and a part half hour is sold as a whole one.

Worked through on this page's own shortest evening. You book 7 until 10 — 3 hours, from $225 by executive sedan. Leave the table at 10:20 and the evening settles at 3 hours 30 minutes. Leave at 10:40 and it settles at 4 hours. Rounding upward is the rule at both of those marks, and it never applies until the hours you bought have run out.

Which is the argument for buying the longer evening when the night already looks open-ended. 4 hours costs the same per hour as 3 does, so finishing at half past ten on a 4-hour booking costs you nothing you would not otherwise have paid.

If dinner runs long, and if the evening outlasts the booking

Six shapes of night

The evenings couples book this for

A restaurant where parking is the worst part of going: you are put down at the door and the car reappears when you want it.
An anniversary: the same hourly booking with a date on it — no separate product, no separate rate, nothing added for the occasion.
A birthday dinner: where the person it is for should not spend the night thinking about the drive back.
A proposal: a perfectly good reason to book a car, and the only thing this page intends to say about one. How the evening is arranged is entirely your business; the chauffeur drives.
Dinner and a show: or dinner and one more address. Two stops, one booking, one price.
An evening after a flight: where the hours open on the touchdown and the table follows the bags.

Planning a wedding rather than an evening? Different booking, different shape — try wedding car service in Los Angeles. An evening where five of you are dividing one car between you is a different purchase again, and hourly car service in Los Angeles is where that is priced.

Parking, on a crowded block

From the driver's seat

Parking is something the chauffeur solves, not something either of you thinks about. Where a stop has nowhere to leave a car close to it, the chauffeur waits nearby and comes to meet you when you call. Not a minute of that reaches a bill: it sits inside the hours you already bought.

The sixth check, and the one that costs money

What if the restaurant is in a different city?

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

Charged, not refused, and this is the sixth check. Two things overrun at once: distance, once the 20 miles an hour are gone, and the clock, because getting out there and getting back both happen inside the hours you bought.

Most evenings never meet it. A table on the far side of the central part of town, a show after it and a drive home sit comfortably inside both the hours and the miles. An evening an hour beyond the county line does not. For one of those, phone (833) 743-3360 before booking anything — dispatch will often price it as a transfer instead and will say so outright when that works out cheaper.

The numbers, if you want them spelled out

Suppose an evening runs 50 miles past its allowance. Those miles are charged per mile at the two fixed figures above, which comes to $50 on a sedan evening and $125 on an SUV one. That much is arithmetic and needs no assumption; and the point at which the allowance runs out is the booking's total rather than any one hour's, which is the part worth published.

The same evening also spends real time on the road in each direction, and that time sits inside the booking like any other. Which is why a long run out of town is usually better bought as a transfer — and why an evening shaped like that is worth a call before booking rather than afterwards.

Answers before you travel

Date night car service in Los Angeles: the questions couples ask

What does a date night car service cost for two people in Los Angeles?

From $225 — 3 hours of executive sedan at from $75 the hour, the least on sale. By luxury SUV it is from $300. Rates for special events and holidays may be different from the standard hourly rate, and your own date is priced first.

Is a 3-hour minimum worth booking when dinner only takes two hours?

Often it is not, and that is better said here than discovered afterwards. Two hours at a table inside a 3-hour booking still comes to from $225, because hours booked are what you pay for. Nothing shorter is sold.

Would two one-way rides cost less for one restaurant close to home?

They might. A one-way fare is worked out from the two actual addresses, so no single number can be set against from $225. Put both addresses in the booking form, double the one-way price and compare it yourself.

Which of the two cars suits an evening for two?

The executive sedan, from $75 an hour, with 3 seats and 3 bags. The luxury SUV at from $100 buys 5 seats and 5 bags, which two people at a table will leave empty. Take the SUV if a second couple is coming.

Does the car stay outside the restaurant, and does that cost anything?

It stays, and it costs nothing. Not one minute of an hourly booking is charged by the minute, wherever the car is standing. It is not sent off on another job while you eat, so coats and anything else can stay on the seat.

Who pays the valet at the restaurant?

iRide360 does, along with garages, meters, tolls and taxes at every address of the night. The one thing left to you is the entry pass a venue sells beside its own tickets. Nothing else reaches your card.

What if we sit over dessert and lose track of the time?

Nothing happens, as long as booked hours are left. No minute of an hourly booking is counted, so a table running 40 minutes long is priced exactly like one that does not. The number you saw at booking holds.

And once the 3 booked hours are actually gone?

Time past them is sold in half hours and a part half hour is sold whole. Book 7 until 10, leave at 10:20 and it settles at 3 hours 30 minutes; leave at 10:40 and it settles at 4 hours. Tell your chauffeur or call (833) 743-3360.

Does a Saturday evening cost more than a Tuesday?

No. No surge, no peak rate, nothing for being out late and nothing for the day of the week: nine on a Saturday prices like one on a Tuesday. Rates for special events and holidays may be different from the standard hourly rate, shown before you commit.

Is there a mileage cap on an evening, and what is a mile past it?

Each hour booked comes with 20 miles. Over the allowance a sedan mile costs $1 and an SUV mile $2.50, so 10 miles over is $10 or $25. The miles are counted across the whole booking, not inside each hour.

From what moment are we being charged?

From when you get in. Getting out to collect you is iRide360's cost, and the booking closes at the night's last address. Begin at an airport and it starts on the real touchdown, with the flight watched for you.

Is a tip built into the hourly price?

No, and nothing is added on your behalf. Four presets sit on the checkout screen — 15, 18, 20 and 25 percent — beside an open box that will take $0. The chauffeur who drove receives whatever you settle on.

Can the evening end in a different city from where it started?

It is charged rather than refused. Hourly rides are meant to start and end in the same city, and if a day runs outside it, additional charges apply. You meet it twice: once in miles, once in hours, road time being booked time.

Is a "date night limo" the same as this?

It is the private chauffeured evening most people mean by the phrase, in a black executive sedan or a luxury SUV. A stretch limousine it is not: no vans, no buses, no stretched vehicles. One car, one chauffeur, the hours you booked.
