Key facts
- An evening with iRide360 bills by the hour, anywhere in Los Angeles: from $75 an hour buys the executive sedan, from $100 an hour the luxury SUV. Rates for special events and holidays may be different from the standard hourly rate.
- 3 hours is where it starts: sedan from $225, SUV from $300. No single reservation stretches past 18.
- 20 miles of driving attach to every booked hour. Spend them and the next sedan mile is $1, the next SUV mile $2.50.
- Not one minute of an hourly reservation is ever metered: not outside the restaurant, not at a terminal curb, not while the group argues about where to go next.
- The block opens at your own pickup, not where the car started its night, and shuts at the final address. Open it at an airport and it begins on the aircraft's true touchdown.
- Out of the hourly figure iRide360 pays tolls, road taxes and parking. The only item left for you is an event venue's parking pass, where one is sold. Gratuity is picked at checkout from 15%, 18%, 20% and 25%, or set to $0.
- iRide360 takes calls on (833) 743-3360 whatever the hour, working from El Segundo, California, under California CPUC charter-party carrier permit TCP 43833-A.
- Hourly rides are meant to start and end in the same city. If a day runs outside it, additional charges apply.
- 3 seats, 3 bags in the sedan. 5 seats, 5 bags in the SUV. A party larger than five travels in more than one car on one reservation.
- The chauffeur who collects you at seven is the chauffeur who drops you home, whether the block is 3 hours long or 18.
- A group's plans rarely survive the week unchanged. 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.

An evening, as a booking
What it amounts to commercially: two rates, a floor of 3 hours, 20 miles riding along with each one, and no meter anywhere in it.
| What you are buying | Hours, not an itinerary. One car and one chauffeur held against the evening |
|---|---|
| Rate | Sedan hours open from $75, SUV hours from $100. Rates for special events and holidays may be different from the standard hourly rate |
| Shortest / longest block | 3 hours · 18 hours |
| A 5-hour evening | Sedan from $375 · SUV from $500 |
| Split across the seats | From $125 a head over the sedan's three · from $100 a head over the SUV's five |
| Miles in the hour | Twenty against every booked hour; over that, $1 per sedan mile and $2.50 per SUV mile |
| Already paid for | Tolls, road taxes, parking — only an event venue's pass is yours to buy |
| Gratuity | Your call at checkout: 25%, 20%, 18%, 15%, or nothing at all |
| When the clock opens | The moment you are collected — or, from an airport, when the wheels touch down |
| Waiting | No meter runs, at any stage of the reservation |
| If dinner overruns | Added time rounds up to the next half hour |
| Where it runs | Hourly rides are meant to start and end in the same city. Go beyond it and the evening carries distance plus extra clock |
Published rates
What does a Los Angeles night out cost by the hour?
An evening gets costed one of two ways. Either four separate rides, each priced at whatever the app feels like charging when you step outside a restaurant at 9:40, or a single figure fixed before anyone has left the house. Booking a private driver for a night out is the second kind: you take a block of hours, the car stays put while you are inside, and your date's price is on the screen before you book. What follows is the arithmetic both ways, per-head split included.
iRide360 is the operator here: a black car service out of El Segundo, minutes from LAX, running on CPUC permit TCP 43833-A. Both of its hourly figures are printed rather than quoted, which makes the cost of a car service for a night out something to calculate in advance instead of discover afterward. Sedan hours open from $75. SUV hours open from $100. Nobody reserves fewer than three.
Every number in the table is a total, already multiplied.
| Booking length | Executive sedan · from $75/hour · 3 seats | Luxury SUV · from $100/hour · 5 seats | Driving included |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3 hours — the floor | from $225 | from $300 | 60 miles total |
| 5 hours | from $375 | from $500 | 100 miles total |
| 6 hours | from $450 | from $600 | 120 miles total |
| 8 hours | from $600 | from $800 | 160 miles total |
Tolls, road taxes and parking are inside these totals. Gratuity you set yourself. 20 miles attach to every booked hour. Blocks start at 3 hours and stop at 18.
What the hourly rate includes
- One chauffeur and one vehicle for the length of the block.
- Every stop the hours allow; nobody counts them.
- All of the waiting, with nothing metered at any point.
- 20 miles of driving against each booked hour.
- Tolls, road taxes and parking, an event venue's pass excepted.
- Fiji bottled water.
- Onboard Wi-Fi.
- Phone chargers.
- Anything else you ask for when you reserve.
What is not included
- Gratuity — yours to name at checkout: 25%, 20%, 18%, 15%, or any figure down to $0.
- Time past the block — rounded up to the next half hour.
- Miles past the allowance — $1 per sedan mile, $2.50 per SUV mile.
- An event parking pass — yours to buy, where the venue sells one.
- Child seats — from $25 each — rear-facing, forward-facing or booster — fitted before the car reaches you.
- Pets — $25.
Dividing it up
What does a night out cost per person?
Groups settle this before they settle anything else, so here it is. Each line is a booking total over the number of seats that car is rated to carry.
- Sedan, 3 hours: From $225 over 3 seats — $75 a head.
- Sedan, 5 hours: From $375 over 3 seats — $125 a head.
- SUV, 5 hours: From $500 over 5 seats — $100 a head.
- SUV, 6 hours: From $600 over 5 seats — $120 a head.
- SUV, 8 hours: From $800 over 5 seats — $160 a head.
5 hours of SUV lands at from $100 a head for 5 people, agreed while everybody is still getting ready rather than reckoned up in a doorway at the end. Go past five and a party larger than five travels in more than one car on one reservation; the division behaves the same way, so two SUVs for 5 hours is from $1,000, bought once and split however your group splits things.
The hour does not move the price
Is there a night rate, a weekend rate or surge pricing?
No — none of the three: no surge pricing, no peak rate, no weekend rate and no night rate. One in the morning on a Saturday bills at exactly what ten in the morning on a Tuesday bills at. Heavy traffic does not shift it, and a city full of people all trying to get home at once does not shift it either.
The date is the one thing that can read differently. Rates for special events and holidays may be different from the standard hourly rate. That figure sits on the screen, in full, while you are still deciding. It attaches to the square on the calendar and not to the hour on the clock: a published rate you can look at before committing, never something added for being out at midnight, and never a change made after the reservation exists.
The thing being reserved
What do you get when you hire a driver for the night?
A chauffeur and a vehicle, reserved together for a stretch of time you pick — 3 hours at the shortest, 18 at the longest, with one person driving the whole stretch.
The vehicle arrives with the chauffeur. Worth stating flatly, because a similar-sounding service does the opposite: here your ride is operated by iRide360 or a vetted, licensed affiliate partner, and nobody touches the keys to your own car.
Between stops there is nothing to rebook and nothing to re-price. Coats, bags and whatever somebody bought earlier stay where they were left.
The buyer's checks
What should you check before booking a car for the evening?
Put these five to any chauffeur company in Los Angeles. iRide360's answers follow, with a sixth on the one that quietly costs the most.
Does the car wait while we are inside, and does waiting cost anything?
Waiting costs nothing in an hourly reservation. Not outside a restaurant while the table runs long, not at a terminal either, not at the first pickup. The chauffeur keeps the car close while dinner stretches to two hours, while the first room turns into a second, while somebody proposes one more place at eleven. No fee per stop, no ceiling on the number of stops, nothing on a meter. The hours are what buy the waiting, and that is the whole mechanism behind a bar hopping car service booked by the hour.
The contrast is worth drawing once, because the other policy on this site reads differently and people arrive here having seen it. A point-to-point transfer pays for a single trip, so the chauffeur's obligation ends at the drop-off and anything past the free window runs on a clock: a landing buys 60 minutes and then $1 per minute, while any other pickup buys 15 minutes. An evening bought as hours has already paid for the time, so there is nothing left for a meter to measure.
Is there a mileage limit, and what does going over cost?
There is, and the number is public: 20 miles against every booked hour. Hold it up against the evening you are actually planning, which is more use than the word "included".
Past the allowance, a sedan mile is $1 and an SUV mile is $2.50. Both numbers are printed here instead of being read out on request, so the worst case is something you can work out at the kitchen table.
An evening that crosses town two or three times — West Hollywood to a table downtown, downtown to a show, the show to somebody's place in Silver Lake — finishes well under the allowance. Five booked hours carry 100 miles, and that is a great deal of Los Angeles for one night. A plan built on long freeway runs is a different shape, and the section further down prices one.
Is gratuity added automatically?
It is not, and the figure belongs to you. Checkout offers 15%, 18%, 20% and 25%, plus a box for any amount you like with $0 among them, and whatever you enter reaches your chauffeur. Worth asking any operator before a long evening: a compulsory 20% on 5 hours of SUV is from $100 that was never in the quote.
Who pays the parking and the tolls?
iRide360 pays, out of the hourly figure. The valet at the restaurant, the garage beside the theater, the meter on a West Hollywood street — not one of the three reaches your card. Hunting down somewhere to put the car is the chauffeur's work and iRide360's expense.
One item sits outside all that: the parking pass a venue sells to get inside its own lot. Arenas, stadiums and the bigger halls offer them beside the tickets, and iRide360 will not buy yours. If the car has to go inside a lot charging for entry, add the pass to your ticket order. Otherwise the chauffeur waits somewhere near and pulls up when you call.
When does the clock start?
At the point of collection, and not a minute before. The drive out to you belongs to iRide360 rather than to your block, and the block ends at the final address; what the car does afterward is nobody's bill but ours.
Open the evening at an airport and the block starts on the true touchdown rather than the printed arrival. The reservation includes flight tracking, so a two-hour delay postpones the whole evening instead of consuming two hours of it, and moving the pickup is free.
Going past the block
What if the night runs long?
Say so to your chauffeur, or ring dispatch on (833) 743-3360. Added time rounds up to the next half hour, so 15 minutes over bills as 30 minutes and 40 minutes over bills as a whole extra hour.
When the evening already looks open-ended, buy the bigger block up front: 6 hours is from $450 sedan and from $600 SUV, eight is from $600 and from $800. The hourly figure is identical either way, so there is no penalty for guessing high.
Only two classes
Which cars does iRide360 send for an evening?
The executive sedan, from $75 an hour
Black, rated to carry 3 passengers with 3 bags: a BMW, a Mercedes-Benz or similar. The car for two or 3 people — a table for two with one room after, or a show and a late dinner.
The luxury SUV, from $100 an hour
Full-size, black, rated at 5 passengers and 5 bags: a GMC Yukon XL, a Chevrolet Suburban, a Cadillac Escalade or similar. Take it when there are four or five of you. It also sits high and opens wide, which helps at a crowded door.
Asked for a "limo"
What turns up, in black, is the private chauffeured experience: the executive sedan, or else the luxury SUV. No vans, no buses, no stretched vehicles. If the evening genuinely needs something that seats fourteen at once, this is not the company for it, and that is better said on a page than at a curb.
More than five of you?
A party larger than five travels in more than one car on one reservation. One booking, one total, cars that pull up together and leave together.
What is in the car?
Fiji bottled water, onboard Wi-Fi and phone chargers, at no charge, in every booking. Anything else, ask when you reserve.
Getting home
The last address of the night
The final stop is wherever you live, and the chauffeur drives it. Nobody in the group is standing at 1:40 in the morning on a street where a hundred other people want the same thing. The car is reserved already, and it comes when you call.
What happens on the night
From the driver's seat
Where to put the car is the chauffeur's problem, not yours. iRide360's owner puts it plainly: if there is no parking near the premises of a stop, the chauffeur can wait anywhere and find nearby parking, will coordinate with the guest, and will come to meet them. At eleven on a Saturday in Hollywood or West Hollywood that matters, because the door itself is rarely somewhere a car can sit. Not once do you have to say where it should go, and not one of the minutes involved is billed — they are already inside the block you bought.
Where the evenings happen
Which parts of Los Angeles does iRide360 cover after dark?
Call it Los Angeles hourly car service aimed squarely at an evening. Hourly rides are meant to start and end in the same city. Most nights run through West Hollywood and the Sunset Strip, Hollywood, downtown and the Arts District, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica and Venice, Culver City, the beach cities of the South Bay, Pasadena and Old Town, and over the hill into Studio City and Burbank. None of those stops has to be named at the time of booking — not naming them is the reason to buy hours in the first place.
An evening that crosses out of the city picks up distance and extra clock, driving being part of what you reserved. It is never refused. Where the run out of town is long, (833) 743-3360 will price it as a longer block, or else as a transfer, which usually costs less.
Licensing and trust
Why do Los Angeles groups book iRide360 for a night out?

- Chauffeurs: Every chauffeur, including our affiliate partners', is screened and background-checked.
- Insurance: Every iRide360 vehicle carries at least $750,000 in liability insurance.
- Partner vetting: 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.
- Who operates the ride: Your ride is operated by iRide360 or a vetted, licensed affiliate partner.
- Permit: California CPUC charter-party carrier permit TCP 43833-A.
- Numbers in public: both hourly figures, the floor, the mileage allowance, the overage and the waiting rule are printed on this page, not held behind a form.
- Near the airport: the base is on 222 N Pacific Coast Hwy in El Segundo, a short drive from LAX, with dispatch on the phone round the clock.

Three steps
How do you book a night out with iRide360?
Three steps, and the figure is on the screen before anything is committed.
- 01
Choose the car: Executive sedan for 3 people with 3 bags; luxury SUV for five with five.
- 02
Choose the hours: Three at the least, 18 at the most, on a single reservation with one chauffeur throughout.
- 03
Read the figure, then book: Your date's price appears in full before you commit. Or ring (833) 743-3360 and talk the evening through with dispatch, round the clock.
The city rule
What if the evening goes out of town?
Hourly rides are meant to start and end in the same city. If a day runs outside it, additional charges apply.
Most evenings never run into it. Dinner, two or three rooms and a ride home across the central nightlife belt sits well within the hours bought and within the 20 miles each hour carries.
It bites on an evening that is mostly windshield: a concert an hour beyond the county line, or a pickup on one side of the map with a drop-off on the other. Two things run over together. Distance, once the allowance is used up, at $1 per sedan mile and $2.50 per SUV mile. And time, because getting there and getting back both sit on the block. For an evening shaped like that, phone (833) 743-3360 before reserving anything: dispatch generally quotes it as a transfer, or else as a longer block, and will say outright that it comes to less.
If you want the numbers spelled out
60 miles beyond the allowance adds $60 to a sedan evening and $150 to an SUV one. That same evening eats hours too, a long drive out and a long drive back both sitting on the block, so the half-hour overage units usually come into it as well. Which is the argument for buying the evening as a transfer.
Side by side
How does booking by the hour compare with hailing each ride?
These are two different products rather than two prices for one thing. Here is what actually changes.
| An evening booked by the hour | One ride at a time, on an app | |
|---|---|---|
| What is reserved | One chauffeur, one car, a block of hours | A single trip, re-requested each time |
| When the figure is fixed | Before the evening begins | Every time the app is opened |
| A busy Saturday | The rate does not notice | Demand sets it |
| While you are inside | The car stays, nothing metered | You start again and wait for a taker |
| Who is driving | The same person all evening | Whoever accepts |
| Coats and bags | Left where you left them | Carried with you, every stop |
| Tolls, road taxes, parking | Inside the quoted figure | Added trip by trip, and parking never |
| Licensing | TCP 43833-A, a CPUC charter-party carrier | Depends on the platform and the driver |
Honestly: on a short, simple evening, hailing each ride can come out cheaper, and iRide360 does not claim to be the cheapest thing in Los Angeles. What a block buys is a figure known in advance and a car that is already outside.
Answers before you travel
Night out car service FAQs
How much does a night out car service cost in Los Angeles?
3 hours minimum, from $75 per executive sedan hour or from $100 per luxury SUV hour, so an evening starts from $225 or from $300. 5 hours runs from $375 or $500. Rates for special events and holidays may be different from the standard hourly rate.
What does a 5-hour evening work out at per person?
Split the total over the seats. A 5-hour sedan evening from $375 is from $125 a head; the SUV from $500 is from $100 a head across five. Eight SUV hours work out from $160 each.
Is there a minimum booking?
3 hours, which is from $225 in the sedan or from $300 in the SUV. 18 hours is the ceiling on one reservation, driven throughout by a single chauffeur. Running past the block rounds up to the next half hour.
What does the hourly rate already cover: tolls, taxes, parking, gratuity?
Three of the four. Valets, meters and garages along the way come out of the rate. The exception is a venue parking pass, bought with the tickets. Gratuity stands apart: at checkout the choices are 15%, 18%, 20%, 25% and $0, and it goes to your chauffeur.
Does the price go up on a Friday or Saturday night?
No. There is no night rate, no weekend rate, no peak rate and no surge: midnight Saturday bills like noon Wednesday. Rates for special events and holidays may be different from the standard hourly rate. Your date's own figure shows up before you book.
Can I hire a driver for the night instead of booking rides as I go?
Yes. Reserve three to 18 hours and one chauffeur with one car stays for all of them — the same person driving you home as collected you. iRide360 supplies the vehicle; nobody drives your own car.
Does the chauffeur charge for waiting between stops?
No, nothing. An hourly reservation carries no waiting charge between stops, none at an airport, none at the very first pickup. While you are at a table or inside a room the chauffeur keeps the car close by, and the stops are never counted.
Can we add stops or change the plan during the evening?
Yes. Hours are what you bought, not an itinerary, so add stops, drop them, reorder them, or finish somewhere nobody planned. None of it moves the price, since the price is the hours. Tell the chauffeur, or dial (833) 743-3360.
What happens if the night runs longer than booked?
Tell your chauffeur or call dispatch, and the block is extended. The extra rounds up to the next half hour, so 15 minutes over bills as 30 minutes and 40 minutes over bills as a whole extra hour. If a long evening already looks likely, buying the bigger block up front is simpler.
What time does my block actually begin?
The clock starts the moment you are picked up, not where the car started, and runs out at the evening's final address. Opened at an airport, it begins on the aircraft's true touchdown. Flight tracking is supplied, so a delay postpones the block.
How far can the evening go before extra miles are charged?
Each reserved hour arrives with 20 miles attached, so 100 over a 5-hour evening. Beyond the allowance a sedan mile is $1 and an SUV mile is $2.50. Evenings that stay within one part of town seldom get near the number.
Can the evening run outside the city?
Yes, at a price. Hourly rides are meant to start and end in the same city. Wander outside it and the bill picks up distance as well as extra clock, driving being part of what you reserved. Phone (833) 743-3360; dispatch will quote it as a transfer.
How many of us fit, and is there anything bigger?
Executive sedan: 3 people, 3 bags. Luxury SUV: 5 and 5. Nothing bigger exists here: no vans, no buses, no stretched vehicles. Over 5 people, a party larger than five travels in more than one car on one reservation, arriving and leaving together.
Is this the same as a designated driver service?
No. A designated driver service sends a person to drive your car. iRide360 brings both vehicle and chauffeur for the block of hours you reserve, and that vehicle stays with you between stops. Nobody in your group drives.

I used iRide360 for my ride from the airport to my hotel, and they were fabulous! The ride was so smooth, and felt so safe the entire time. KP was awesome!! Book them for your next ride!
Love, Logan
We had excellent experience with Karan Gosain. He was very polite, friendly, professional and drove safely. The ride was smooth and he was very patient with our kids while our transfer from LAX airport to our brother’s place.I would definitely recommend him and would be happy to ride with him again.
Rajni Grover
Hands down the best service we’ve ever received (and we now use them a lot). Always on time, clean car, and pleasant. We have a toddler and there is always a luxury car seat available whenever we request it. Thank you so much for always helping our family get to where we need to be safely and on time!!

- Every total in the ladder above comes from multiplying a published hourly figure by the hours reserved. Not estimated, not a range. Fixed at booking and unchanged afterward, with tolls, road taxes and parking paid out of it and the gratuity left to you.
- The pair of hourly figures, the 3-hour floor, the 18-hour ceiling and every total derived from them carry iRide360's confirmation of 6 November 2026. Rates for special events and holidays may be different from the standard hourly rate. Whichever one covers a chosen date is displayed in full while the guest is still deciding.
- 20 miles attach to each reserved hour, and miles beyond that bill at $1 per sedan mile or $2.50 per SUV mile; iRide360 confirmed both on 6 November 2026. They are the hourly numbers. A transfer priced point to point uses different per-mile numbers, and those are not on this page.
- Four further rules carry that same confirmation date. Waiting is never metered in an hourly reservation. Billing opens where the guest is collected, or at an airport on the aircraft's true touchdown. Parking is absorbed into the rate, barring the pass a venue sells for entry to its lot. And hourly rides are meant to start and end in the same city. Travel beyond it and distance plus extra clock join the bill.
- The waiting figures used above for contrast come from iRide360's transfer policy and have no bearing here, an hourly reservation metering nothing at all. They are stated once on this page, inside the waiting answer, and left out of this note deliberately.
- Vehicle classes, seat counts and the makes named are iRide360's own, confirmed 6 November 2026. A make is an example under "or similar" and not a statement of stock.
- Both the Google rating and the number of reviews behind it are read out of the live Google Business Profile when the page builds, never keyed in, so this page cannot disagree with the profile.
- iRide360 holds a single permit, the California CPUC charter-party carrier permit TCP 43833-A, printed the same way everywhere. The name, address, phone number and permit number read identically in all three places: on this website, on the Google Business Profile, and in directory listings.
