Key facts
- Executive hourly car service is bought by the hour, not by the leg. Two rates cover Los Angeles: from $75 an hour in the executive sedan, from $100 in the luxury SUV.
- The shortest block iRide360 will hold a car for is 3 hours — from $225 for the sedan, from $300 for the SUV — and a single reservation runs as far as 18.
- A single chauffeur works the entire block, 3 hours or 18. Nobody is swapped in at a shift change and nobody is briefed again at the fourth stop.
- Every booked hour carries 20 miles of driving with it. A meeting day inside the city rarely spends them; past the allowance a mile is $1 by sedan, $2.50 by SUV.
- Waiting is free. No per-minute waiting charge exists at any moment of an hourly booking — not while a session runs over, not at the curb, not at an airport.
- Your clock opens where the chauffeur meets you, never at our garage, and closes on the day's last address. Fly in first and it opens when the aircraft actually lands, not when the timetable said it would.
- Tolls, taxes and the parking bill are settled inside the rate — the garage under a Century City tower, the meter outside a Santa Monica office, the valet at a hotel. Where an event venue sells its own parking pass, that pass is the passenger's. Gratuity stays optional.
- Hourly rides are meant to start and end in the same city. Swing out to Orange County and the pricing changes shape, because if a day runs outside it, additional charges apply — mileage and clock together.
- iRide360's authority is a California CPUC charter-party carrier permit TCP 43833-A, and it operates from an El Segundo base beside Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Calls reach a staffed desk on (833) 743-3360 at three in the morning as readily as at noon.
- If the day moves before it begins. 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 booking engine takes a reservation from 3 hours ahead. Anything more urgent goes through dispatch on (833) 743-3360, which is usually the quicker route in any case.

Service facts
Every rate, rule and figure for an executive hourly day with iRide360, in one block.
| What it is | Executive hourly car service — one chauffeur and one vehicle reserved against a block of time rather than a journey, across Los Angeles County, California. The car stays with the passenger for the full block, and the route and the stops are set by the passenger as the day goes |
|---|---|
| Rates, floor and ceiling | From $75 an hour, executive sedan; from $100 an hour, luxury SUV. Nothing shorter than a 3-hour block is sold — from $225 sedan, from $300 SUV — and nothing longer than 18 hours sits on one reservation, all of it driven by the same chauffeur. The pricing section multiplies 3, 5, 8 and 10 hours out in full. What the booking screen shows for your date is the whole figure, and it holds once you confirm. No premium attaches to a 6 a.m. departure, a 9 p.m. return or a Sunday; the one exception, special events and holidays, is set out in the pricing section and again in the FAQs |
| Miles included | 20 miles for each booked hour. Each further mile adds $1 in the executive sedan. In the luxury SUV it adds $2.50. iRide360 confirmed both overage figures on 6 November 2026; they are the hourly ones, never the per-mile number that prices a point-to-point transfer |
| Holding the car | Nothing is metered while the car waits. Not one per-minute waiting charge sits inside an hourly booking — pickup, airport, or the curb outside a meeting alike (iRide360 confirmed it on 6 November 2026) |
| Start of the clock | The block runs from wherever the passenger is collected — not from the moment the garage door opens — through to the final drop-off. An airport collection is timed off the real landing, tracking included (iRide360 confirmed it on 6 November 2026) |
| Included · charged on top | In the rate: tolls, taxes, and the parking at every stop, garage, meter or valet alike, plus complimentary Fiji bottled water, Wi-Fi onboard and phone chargers in either class. Should an event venue sell its own parking pass, buying it is the guest's part. Priced separately: gratuity, set at checkout to 15%, 18%, 20%, 25% or $0; time beyond the booked block, rounded up to the next half hour; and any distance past the allowance |
| The two classes | Two classes, and nothing beyond them: 3 passengers and 3 bags in the executive sedan, 5 and 5 in the luxury SUV. 6 people, then, means two cars — a party larger than five travels in more than one car on one reservation, both keeping the same hours. No vans, no buses, no stretched vehicles |
| City limits | Hourly rides are meant to start and end in the same city. Head for Orange County or the desert and the arithmetic changes: if a day runs outside it, additional charges apply — the distance past the allowance plus the hours spent covering it, since driving time is booked time. Dispatch will price a long run out of the metro as a transfer instead, on (833) 743-3360 |
| Who operates it | iRide360 is a black car service holding a California CPUC charter-party carrier permit TCP 43833-A, based out of El Segundo, California, beside the LAX perimeter. Every iRide360 vehicle carries at least $750,000 in liability insurance, and someone picks up (833) 743-3360 at every hour of the day |
Published rates
How much does executive hourly car service cost in Los Angeles?
iRide360 prints its hourly chauffeur rates in Los Angeles rather than quoting them on request, so a meeting day can be costed before anybody commits to it. The executive sedan is from $75 an hour, the luxury SUV from $100, and neither class is sold in blocks shorter than 3 hours. The company is a CPUC-licensed black car service, permit TCP 43833-A; the yard is in El Segundo, next to the airport.
That puts the shortest executive sedan booking at from $225 and a full 8-hour day in the luxury SUV at from $800. Every figure in the table below is a total, already multiplied out.
| Booking length | Executive sedan (from) | Luxury SUV (from) | Driving included |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rate per hour | from $75 | from $100 | 20 miles inside the hour |
| 3-hour block (minimum) | from $225 | from $300 | 20 miles inside the hour |
| 5-hour block | from $375 | from $500 | 20 miles inside the hour |
| 8-hour block, a working day | from $600 | from $800 | 20 miles inside the hour |
| 10-hour block | from $750 | from $1,000 | 20 miles inside the hour |
Rates for special events and holidays may be different from the standard hourly rate. Everything else holds: the booking screen shows your date's whole figure and it does not move once you confirm, and no premium rides on an early start, a long evening or a Sunday. Two classes make up the fleet, executive sedan and luxury SUV; a party larger than five travels in more than one car on one reservation, both cars keeping the same hours. No vans, no buses, no stretched vehicles.
What the hourly rate includes
- Chauffeur and car for every booked hour, the ones spent waiting included.
- 20 miles of driving set against each hour booked.
- Tolls and taxes, plus the parking at each stop: garage, meter or valet.
- Complimentary Fiji bottled water, Wi-Fi onboard, phone chargers — either class. Other requests are noted when you book.
What is not included
- Gratuity — set at checkout; the figure you pick reaches the chauffeur.
- Time beyond the booked block — rounded up to the next half hour; 30 minutes is the smallest step.
- Miles beyond the allowance — $1 each by executive sedan, $2.50 each by luxury SUV.
- An event venue's parking pass — where a venue sells one and you want the car inside the gates.
The gaps, not the meetings
Why hold one car all day instead of ordering a ride per meeting?
A Los Angeles meeting day does not fail at the meetings. It fails in the gaps. 40 minutes between Century City and Santa Monica turns into an hour because Interstate 10 is backed up at Bundy, and the schedule has to survive a session that overruns and a last stop added by text.
The usual answer is to treat each gap as its own problem: request a car at the curb, wait for it, and do it again at the next stop. That works until the day is full. Then the gaps are the day.
Executive hourly car service removes the gaps from the schedule. You book a car and driver for the day rather than for a trip. The iRide360 chauffeur holds the vehicle between meetings, moves it when you move, and keeps your coat and your case in the back seat where you left them. There is no ride to request at 2:15 and no car to find at 4:40. There is one car, and it is already outside.
The same driver, dawn to dinner
Does one chauffeur carry the whole day?
Yes — the same person all the way through. One chauffeur takes the entire block, 3 hours or 18, so there is no shift change to be handed across and nobody needs the day explained twice. Whoever collected you at eight is the one driving you to dinner, and by mid-afternoon they know which entrance you use and how long you actually take. 18 hours is as far as one reservation goes, and everything from three upward fits inside it.
Where does the car go while you are inside the meeting?
It waits, and the waiting is already paid for. You go in, the chauffeur keeps the vehicle nearby, and it is at the door when you come out. Nothing is released and nothing is re-requested. No per-stop fee exists, no ceiling sits on how many stops a day can hold, and no second meter runs beside the hours you already bought.
Can stops be added or reordered inside your booked hours?
Yes, and nothing has to be re-quoted. An as-directed chauffeur booking is built for a schedule that moves: tell the chauffeur, and stops can be added, dropped or reordered inside the hours you have reserved. An extra call on the way back from Santa Monica does not need a second reservation or a second quote.
How long should the block be?
Count the meetings, then count the gaps, because the gaps are what people leave out. A day gets sized by its appointments and the Interstate 10 crawl between them never makes the arithmetic. One appointment with a cushion either side is a 3-hour block. A Westside morning followed by a Downtown afternoon is usually six or eight.
Booking a little short is survivable, since time past the block rounds up to the next half hour. Booking roughly right is calmer: a chauffeur who can see where the day ends plans parking and positioning around it instead of improvising at four o'clock.
What if the afternoon overruns the block you booked?
The booking stretches, and extra time rounds up to the next 30 minutes: a session ending 15 minutes past the block bills as half an hour, one ending 40 minutes past it bills as a whole hour. Ring (833) 743-3360, or just say the word to the chauffeur, before the block closes; the additional time lands on the reservation you already hold, with the same car and the same driver.
See how hourly bookings are changed and extended on the hourly hub at /hourly-service.
Who is driving?
Your ride is operated by iRide360 or a vetted, licensed affiliate partner. The standard does not move between the two: every chauffeur, including our affiliate partners', is screened and background-checked. Behind all of it sits a California CPUC charter-party carrier permit TCP 43833-A.
Six questions, in money order
What should you ask an hourly operator before a meeting day?
These are the questions worth putting to any hourly operator in Los Angeles, ordered by what they cost you when the answer is wrong — plus a sixth almost nobody asks. On a day of back-to-back meetings the terms matter as much as the rate, because the terms are what bite when a session overruns. iRide360's answers follow.
1. What does it cost to hold the car while you are inside?
Nothing. Across an iRide360 hourly booking nothing is metered by the minute — not at the curb, not at an airport, not outside a session that has run 20 minutes long. The time was bought up front.
This is the real line between hourly and point-to-point, and it is worth saying out loud. On a transfer the chauffeur's job ends at the drop-off, which is exactly why waiting there has to be metered: 60 minutes of free time after a flight lands; after that, $1 a minute; 15 minutes anywhere else. Those are transfer terms. None of them reaches an hourly booking.
2. How far does the rate let the car drive?
20 miles come with each booked hour, and iRide360 prints the overage instead of making you ask for it: the sedan's is $1 a mile, the SUV's $2.50. A day of Westside-to-Downtown hops — Century City, then Bunker Hill, then back across town for a four o'clock — almost never touches the allowance. A day built around one long freeway run is a different shape, and question six covers it.
3. Does a gratuity get added without asking?
No. The checkout offers 15, 18, 20 and 25 percent, or whatever figure you like, $0 included — and it reaches the chauffeur. Put this question to any operator plainly, because an automatic percentage across 8 hours in the SUV is real money that never appeared in the quote.
4. Who settles the parking and the tolls?
They are inside the hourly rate. A garage under a Century City tower, a meter on a Santa Monica side street, a hotel valet: the chauffeur sorts it out and iRide360 pays for it. None of it arrives on your bill.
Event venues are the exception, and the only one. Where a stadium or arena sells a parking pass, buying it is yours — pick it up with the tickets if you want the car standing inside the gates rather than a block away.
5. What moment does the clock open on?
Your hours begin once the chauffeur has you aboard — never when the car sets off empty from our yard — and they close on the day's last address. Getting the car to you is iRide360's expense, not a line on yours.
Where the day opens at an airport, the hours begin at the real landing and not at the time the schedule promised. Tracking comes with the booking, so a 90-minute delay slides the entire block later rather than consuming 90 minutes of it.
6. What if the day has to leave the city?
Hourly rides are meant to start and end in the same city. An ordinary Westside-and-Downtown schedule never bumps into that; a run to Orange County does, and if a day runs outside it, additional charges apply.
It bites on a day that is mostly one long drive, because two things grow together: the distance, once the 20-mile allowance is behind you and the per-mile overage above applies, and the hours, because the leg out and the leg home are both booked time. With a run like that on the schedule, ring (833) 743-3360 before booking hours at all — the desk will usually quote it as a transfer and tell you that is the cheaper shape.
What arrives, and what does not exist
Sedan or SUV for a meeting day?
Two classes, and nothing else in the fleet. An hour of the executive sedan begins from $75. For the luxury SUV the figure is from $100.
- Executive sedan, from $75 an hour: 3 seats, 3 bags. The default when one or two people move between offices with a case and a coat, and the easier car on a Beverly Hills side street.
- Luxury SUV, from $100 an hour: 5 seats, 5 bags. Book it when the team travels as a group, or when display boards and roll-aboards ride along all day. The luxury SUV hourly rate does not change with how many of the 5 seats are filled.
What you book is what pulls up. A party larger than five travels in more than one car on one reservation, both cars keeping the same hours. No vans, no buses, no stretched vehicles. Each class carries bottled Fiji water, Wi-Fi on board and a charger, so the stretch between Century City and Downtown is working time if you want it to be.
Airport pickup then meetings
Does an LAX arrival fit inside the same block?
Yes, and an hourly booking collected at an airport opens its hours at the actual touchdown. Tracking is included, and a delay moves the pickup instead of costing you anything. Landing and then going straight into meetings is one reservation rather than two separate jobs, and iRide360 works out of El Segundo, so the collection and the first appointment fall inside the same reserved hours. See LAX airport car service at /lax-airport-car-service for terminal pickup detail.
The shape repeats often enough to plan around. A red-eye lands, the first appointment is at ten, and the last thing on the page is a return flight out of the same terminal. One block carries all of it, so there is no second reservation to arrange from the air and no stretch of the day where you are between bookings with a bag at your feet.
By the trip, or by the hour
Should you book executive hourly service or a point-to-point transfer?
Executive car service in Los Angeles is sold two ways: by the trip and by the hour. Book point to point when the day is one trip with a known end — a transfer to LAX, a single dinner across town, a ride home. Book executive hourly car service when the car has to still be there afterwards. The test is simple: if you would otherwise be booking a second ride within a couple of hours, the hourly booking is usually both the cheaper structure and the calmer one.

How it works on the day
From the driver's seat
Where the car waits is never your problem to solve. If there is no parking near the stop — and in Los Angeles there often is not — the chauffeur waits nearby, finds parking, coordinates with you and comes to meet you. You do not have to tell us where to wait, and none of the time it takes is charged to you. It is already inside the hours you booked.
Licensing and trust
Who operates the ride, and how is iRide360 licensed?
Operating authority: California CPUC charter-party carrier permit TCP 43833-A.
Every iRide360 vehicle carries at least $750,000 in liability insurance.
Every chauffeur, including our affiliate partners', is screened and background-checked.
Your ride is operated by iRide360 or a vetted, licensed affiliate partner.
Before any partner goes live, we run a background check, verify the driver's license with the DMV, confirm insurance, and review a vehicle inspection report.
What the booking screen shows for your date is the whole figure, and it holds once you confirm — nothing extra for an early call, a long evening or a Saturday.
The office is in El Segundo, CA 90245. Calls to (833) 743-3360 are answered day and night.

Service area
Where does executive hourly service run in Los Angeles?
Executive car service in Los Angeles, run hourly by iRide360, covers the whole metro, and an hourly booking is as-directed, so the route inside the city is yours. A corporate chauffeur in Los Angeles most often works a day across Century City, Downtown Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Culver City, El Segundo, Burbank and Pasadena, and nothing inside the city is fenced off.
Hourly rides are meant to start and end in the same city. Take a day past that boundary and two meters grow together, distance and hours alike, because every minute at the wheel is a minute of the booking: if a day runs outside it, additional charges apply. A single long run is usually better quoted as a transfer, which (833) 743-3360 will do.
Side by side
What does an 8-hour meeting day look like, hour by hour?
Four of these 8 hours are the car waiting, and on an iRide360 hourly booking none of them carries a charge of its own. This is a plain Westside day in an 8-hour booking — an illustration of how the hours get used, not a quote.
| Where the car is | What is happening | |
|---|---|---|
| Hour 1 | El Segundo pickup, then east | Chauffeur collects you at the office; bags and materials stay in the car for the day |
| Hour 2 | Century City, held nearby | First meeting. The car is not released |
| Hour 3 | Century City → Beverly Hills | Second meeting, added that morning |
| Hour 4 | Beverly Hills, held nearby | Lunch runs long. Nothing has to be re-booked |
| Hour 5 | Beverly Hills → Santa Monica | Afternoon session |
| Hour 6 | Santa Monica, held nearby | Second Santa Monica stop added by text |
| Hour 7 | Santa Monica → El Segundo | Drop at the office; coat and case still in the back |
| Hour 8 | El Segundo → LAX | Evening departure, same chauffeur |
The whole day also sits well inside the mileage allowance: 20 miles belong to each hour booked, and a Westside loop of this shape does not spend them.
Answers before you travel
Executive hourly car service: frequently asked questions
What is executive hourly car service in Los Angeles?
A car and a driver reserved against a block of time for a working day, instead of one fare per journey. The car holds between appointments rather than clearing out at a drop-off, and the route is yours to change as the day moves.
How short and how long can one booking be?
3 hours is the floor and 18 hours the ceiling, both on a single reservation. A 3-hour minimum car service day costs from $225 for the sedan and from $300 for the SUV. Anything between those two numbers books as one block.
What does executive hourly car service cost in Los Angeles?
Hourly, an executive sedan runs from $75 and a luxury SUV from $100, over a smallest booking of 3 hours — so from $225 or from $300 at the floor. That number already swallows tolls, taxes and parking; gratuity is yours to decide.
What does a full meeting day cost?
An 8-hour day is from $600 in the executive sedan and from $800 in the luxury SUV; 10 hours runs from $750 and $1,000. Nothing is added for tolls, taxes or parking, so the number you budget is the number you pay, gratuity aside.
Does the rate ever move off the published figure?
Rates for special events and holidays may be different from the standard hourly rate. Outside those, the published figure holds and the booking screen shows your date's whole price before you commit. An early call, a long evening and a Saturday all cost the same.
Is it the same chauffeur from the first meeting to the last?
Yes — one chauffeur takes the whole block, 3 hours or 18. There is no handover at a shift change, so nobody arrives at four o'clock needing the day explained to them again.
What does it cost to keep the car while a meeting runs over?
Nothing at all. A per-minute meter does not exist on an hourly booking: not at the curb, not outside a boardroom, not in an arrivals lane. The hour is already bought, so losing 20 minutes of it to a long session changes no figure.
When does the clock start if you collect me from LAX?
The moment you step into the car, never the minute our garage door goes up, and it closes on the day's last address. Off a flight it starts at the real landing, not the timetable, and tracking slides the whole block with a delay.
How far can the car drive inside the rate?
20 miles ride along with every booked hour. The overage is published, not quoted on request: a mile past the allowance is $1 in the sedan, $2.50 in the SUV. A Westside-to-Downtown day of four or five stops seldom reaches the limit at all.
Who pays the parking, the tolls and the gratuity?
The rate already covers all three — the Century City garage, the Santa Monica meter, the hotel valet. Only where a stadium or arena sells its own parking pass does anything fall to you. Gratuity you pick at checkout, and it reaches the chauffeur.
Can I move a stop or add one in the middle of the day?
Yes, inside the hours you reserved — tell the chauffeur. An as-directed chauffeur booking expects the schedule to shift, so a stop gets added, dropped or reshuffled without opening a second reservation.
What if the day outruns the hours I booked?
Overtime is charged in half-hour steps, always rounded up. Tell the chauffeur, or call (833) 743-3360, before the block closes; the time attaches to the reservation you already hold, with no change of car or driver.
Can the block run outside Los Angeles?
Yes, though charges follow. Hourly rides are meant to start and end in the same city; a day that wanders out of it is billed for the added distance and the added hours. One long run is usually cheaper priced as a transfer, and (833) 743-3360 will do that.
Which class should I book, and what if the team is six?
3 passengers and 3 bags fit the executive sedan; five and five fit the luxury SUV. A party larger than five travels in more than one car on one reservation, booked as one block of hours. No vans, no buses, no stretched vehicles.

I’ve been using Karan for a long time, and he is hands down the best in the business. He’s reliable, his cars are always clean, and the service is consistently exceptional. His prices are great, especially for the quality of service he provides. He’s the only driver I use because I know I can always count on him. I can’t recommend Karan highly enough!
Bobby T
Excellent airport transfer experience. Our driver was prompt, professional, and a very smooth driver—which was especially appreciated since my wife gets motion sickness easily. The entire ride was comfortable and stress-free, and the pricing was very fair. Reliable service and great value. Would definitely use again!
Michael Alan Jewelers
Absolutely outstanding service from start to finish! The entire experience was seamless, professional, and exceeded my expectations. Karan is always punctual, courteous, professional, and incredibly accommodating. The vehicle is always spotless and very well maintained. It’s rare to find a car service that is this reliable and genuinely committed to providing excellent customer service. I would highly recommend Karan to anyone looking for a professional, dependable, and top-tier car service. My friends and family also use him and have nothing but good things to say. 10/10!

- Both published figures — the sedan's from $75 an hour, the SUV's from $100 — lock the moment you book, tolls, taxes and parking already carried. Gratuity is the one thing you add, or don't. A 7 a.m. start, a 9 p.m. finish and a Saturday are charged alike.
- Every number in the ladder is hours multiplied by rate, nothing else: three sedan hours come to from $225, eight SUV hours to from $800. None of it is an estimate or a range.
- iRide360 confirmed the 20-mile hourly allowance, and the overage of $1 and $2.50 a mile by class, on 6 November 2026. Those belong to hourly work; a transfer booked point to point carries different per-mile pricing that has no bearing here.
- Four rules on this page were put to iRide360 on 6 November 2026 and confirmed. Waiting never runs on a per-minute meter. The hours open wherever the chauffeur collects the passenger, and on an airport day at the real landing. Parking is paid for inside the rate, a venue pass excepted. And hourly rides are meant to start and end in the same city, which matters: if a day runs outside it, additional charges apply.
- Operating authority: a California CPUC charter-party carrier permit TCP 43833-A. Across every public record the name, address, phone number and permit number read identically — this page, the Google Business Profile, each directory entry.
