Hourly is the service people book once and then keep booking. Instead of arranging a car for each leg of the day, you hold one vehicle and one chauffeur for a block of hours and simply tell them where next.

In Richmond Hill that suits three situations in particular: a day of meetings spread between here, Markham and downtown Toronto; an evening out where nobody wants to drive; and family occasions where the plan is real but the timings are not. We quote the block, the price is fixed, and there is no evening or weekend surcharge waiting at the end of it.

Where we pick up in Richmond Hill

The Yonge Street corridor
Downtown Richmond Hill north of Major Mackenzie, including the high-rise residences, Hillcrest Mall and the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts. The busiest pickup area in the city and the easiest to reach.
Bayview Hill
Estate residential in the south-east. Long driveways and quiet streets, which makes a discreet arrival straightforward.
Oak Ridges
The northern end of the city around Lake Wilcox and the Oak Ridges Moraine. The most spread-out part of Richmond Hill, so allow more time between stops here than the map suggests.
Jefferson
North-west residential between Yonge and Bathurst, bordering the moraine.
North Richvale and Mill Pond
Established residential through the centre and west of the city.
Richmond Hill Centre and the Yonge/Highway 7 area
The transit hub in the south, and the usual meeting point for anyone travelling up from Toronto.

How as-directed hourly actually works

You book a block of hours with a minimum, and within that block the car is yours. Your chauffeur waits between stops rather than leaving, so coats, bags and shopping stay in the vehicle and nothing has to be carried around all day.

There is no meter and no per-stop guessing. If the day runs longer than planned we extend the booking rather than restarting it, and the rate for the extra time is the rate we already agreed.

A business day across the north GTA

Richmond Hill sits between Markham, Vaughan and north Toronto, which means a working day here is rarely one journey. It is usually four short ones with the risk sitting in the gaps.

For a day of meetings, the hourly booking is what removes the gaps as a problem. The car is outside when you finish rather than fifteen minutes away, and the 404 at 4pm is the chauffeur's problem rather than yours.

If the day ends at Pearson, the same booking can run straight through to the terminal instead of becoming a separate arrangement made in a hurry.

Evenings and occasions

The other half of our Richmond Hill hourly work is personal rather than corporate. A dinner on Yonge, a performance at the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts, an anniversary, a birthday, a night in downtown Toronto where the last thing anyone wants is to drive home up the 404.

For these, hourly is the honest structure. A one-way booking means calling for a car at the end of the night. An hourly booking means the car is already outside.

How many hours to book

Most people under-book by an hour, and it is almost always the last hour of the day that runs over.

  • A dinner or a performance: three to four hours is usually enough.
  • A business day of meetings: six to eight, particularly if it crosses into Toronto and back.
  • An evening out in downtown Toronto from Richmond Hill: five or more, because the drive each way is a real part of it.
  • A family occasion: book the block you expect and tell us it may run. Extending is simple; starting again is not.

Which vehicle for an hourly booking

Hourly bookings tend to involve more people and more waiting around than a point-to-point transfer, so the vehicle choice is worth a moment.

  • Mercedes-Benz S 580: the default for business travel and for two people going out.
  • SUV: for a family, or where the day involves shopping and bags.
  • Luxury Sprinter: up to thirteen, for a group evening or a team moving together between offices.
  • Rolls-Royce or Maybach: for occasions where the car is part of the event rather than transport to it.

What changes the price

Hourly is quoted as a block rather than metered, and the number is fixed before the booking is confirmed.

  • The vehicle, which is the largest single factor.
  • The number of hours held, against that vehicle's minimum booking.
  • Whether the day leaves the GTA, since long distance beyond 100 km is quoted differently.
  • Child seats, at $30 each.

What does not change it

There is no evening or late-night surcharge, no weekend or holiday surcharge, and no peak-season surcharge between May and September. A Saturday night in July costs what a Tuesday afternoon in February costs.

There is no surge pricing. That matters most at exactly the moment other services cost the most, which is the end of an evening out.

Booking hourly in Richmond Hill

Tell us the date, the start time and address, roughly how many hours you expect, and how many people. The quote comes back the same day and nothing is charged when you book.

For a regular arrangement, say a weekly run or a standing evening, an account is simpler than repeat bookings: one monthly invoice and a named contact who already knows the pattern.

About Richmond Hill

Richmond Hill runs north to south along Yonge Street, and that shape explains most of how it travels. The Yonge corridor north of Major Mackenzie has become the city's centre, with high-rise residences, Hillcrest Mall and the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts. Richmond Hill Centre in the south is the transit link toward Toronto.

Away from Yonge the city changes character quickly. Bayview Hill and Jefferson are estate residential. Oak Ridges at the northern end sits on the Oak Ridges Moraine around Lake Wilcox and is semi-rural in feel, larger in area and much lower in density than anywhere else in the city.

For an hourly booking that spread is the point. Distances within Richmond Hill are short but not uniform, and a day that touches Oak Ridges, the Yonge corridor and a meeting in Markham involves more waiting than driving. Holding the car is simply cheaper in attention than arranging four of them.

Richmond Hill questions

What is as-directed hourly chauffeur service?

You book the car and chauffeur for a block of hours rather than for a single trip. Within that block you direct the day: the chauffeur waits between stops, your belongings stay in the vehicle, and nothing is re-booked between locations.

What is the minimum booking?

It depends on the vehicle. Most of the fleet has a three-hour minimum and the Rolls-Royce is four. We will tell you the minimum for the car you want when we quote.

Do you pick up in Oak Ridges and Bayview Hill?

Yes, across the whole city. Oak Ridges is the most spread out part of Richmond Hill, so for a day starting there we allow more time between stops than the distances suggest.

Can the booking run into Toronto or Markham?

Yes, and most of ours do. An hourly booking is not restricted to Richmond Hill; it simply holds the car for your block of time wherever the day goes within the GTA.

Is there a surcharge for an evening or a weekend?

No. There is no evening, late-night, weekend, holiday or peak-season surcharge. The rate is the same whenever you book it.

What if the day runs longer than we booked?

We extend the existing booking at the rate already agreed rather than starting a new one. Tell the chauffeur as soon as you know, so they can hold the time.

Does the chauffeur wait with the car between stops?

Yes. That is the point of hourly. Coats, bags and shopping stay in the vehicle and the car is outside when you finish rather than being summoned.

Can we finish an hourly booking at Pearson?

Yes, and it is a common way to end a business day. The airport leg runs as part of the same booking rather than being arranged separately at the end of a long day.

Is hourly better value than booking each trip separately?

For three or more stops in a day, usually yes, and it is certainly less to manage. For a single journey, a point-to-point transfer is the better structure and we will say so.

Can you take a group of ten out for the evening?

Yes. The thirteen-passenger Sprinter keeps a group together, which for an evening out beats coordinating three cars and three sets of arrival times.

Do you serve the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts?

Yes, and evening performances are one of our regular hourly bookings here. Being collected at the door afterwards is most of the reason people book it.

How far ahead should we book?

A day or two is comfortable. For a Saturday evening, or for a specific vehicle like the Rolls-Royce, book earlier, since those go first.
