Chauffeur Service Types

Every booking type comes with the same trained chauffeur, luxury vehicle, and fixed pricing. The only difference is how you use the time.

Hourly Chauffeur Service

Book a professional chauffeur by the hour for meetings, errands, roadshows, or a full day in the city. Your driver waits between stops — no rebooking, no surge pricing. The vehicle is yours for the duration.

Airport Chauffeur

Door-to-door airport transfers with flight tracking and meet-and-greet at baggage claim. Your chauffeur monitors your flight in real time and adjusts for delays — you never wait at the curb.

Corporate Chauffeur

Dedicated chauffeur service for executives, visiting clients, and corporate events. NDA-signed drivers, discreet communication, and consolidated billing for corporate accounts.

Event Chauffeur

Weddings, galas, fundraisers, and private dinners. Your chauffeur handles logistics so you focus on the event. Curbside drop-off, on-call standby, and coordinated pickup at the end of the night.

Personal Chauffeur

Medical appointments, real estate tours, shopping trips, or date nights. A personal chauffeur handles the driving while you handle your day. No minimum commitment required beyond the 2-hour booking minimum.

Multi-Day Chauffeur

Visiting Chicago for several days? Book the same chauffeur for your entire stay. Consistent driver who learns your preferences, schedule, and favorite routes. Volume pricing for 3+ day bookings.

Chauffeur vs. Rideshare

A professional chauffeur is not a glorified Uber. Here is what separates trained professionals from app-dispatched drivers.

How Professional Chauffeur Service Differs From a Private Driver

A chauffeur is a trained hospitality professional, not just someone behind the wheel. If you are comparing options, our private driver Chicago page explains the distinction in detail. For the executive vehicle experience, our executive sedan service pairs trained chauffeurs with Lincoln Continental sedans and Mercedes S-Class vehicles for a first-class ride to any destination in Chicago.

Our chauffeurs handle airport transfers daily, providing door-to-door service for both O'Hare airport pickups and Midway airport transfers with flight tracking and baggage claim meet-and-greet. For businesses that need ongoing transportation, our corporate transportation program and corporate accounts offer consolidated billing, dedicated drivers, and priority dispatch for regular clients.

Chauffeur Service Questions

How much does a private chauffeur cost in Chicago?

Hourly chauffeur service in Chicago starts at $85 per hour for a luxury sedan (Lincoln Continental or Mercedes S-Class) and $105 per hour for an SUV (Cadillac Escalade ESV). There is a 2-hour minimum on all hourly bookings. Airport transfers are flat-rate starting at $89 from downtown to O'Hare. We quote fixed prices with no surge pricing, fuel surcharges, or hidden fees.

What is the difference between a chauffeur and an Uber?

A professional chauffeur is a trained, pre-assigned driver in a luxury vehicle. You know who is driving you 24 hours before your trip. The vehicle is a late-model sedan or SUV — not someone's personal car. There is no surge pricing. Your chauffeur knows Chicago's airports, loading zones, and traffic patterns. An Uber driver is matched algorithmically, drives their own vehicle, and pricing fluctuates with demand. For business travel, airport pickups, or any trip where reliability matters, a chauffeur service is the professional option.

Do you provide chauffeur service to the suburbs?

Yes. We cover all of Chicagoland — from the Loop to the North Shore, western suburbs, and south suburbs. Popular suburb pickups include Naperville, Hinsdale, Lake Forest, Winnetka, Oak Brook, and Schaumburg. Suburban chauffeur trips are priced at the same hourly rate with no mileage surcharge.

Can I book the same chauffeur every time?

Yes — we offer dedicated chauffeur assignments for regular clients and multi-day bookings. Many of our corporate clients request the same driver for every trip. We match preferences for conversation level, route choices, and vehicle temperature. Dedicated chauffeur service is available on all account types.

What is the cancellation policy for chauffeur service?

Standard chauffeur bookings can be cancelled or modified up to 6 hours before the scheduled pickup with no charge. Cancellations within 6 hours are subject to a 1-hour minimum charge. Airport transfers can be modified up to 2 hours before flight arrival. We never charge for flight delays or cancellations — that is not your fault.

Do your chauffeurs sign NDAs?

Yes. NDA-signed chauffeurs are available on request at no additional charge. Many of our corporate and entertainment-industry clients require this. All Royal Carriage chauffeurs are trained in confidentiality as a baseline — the NDA formalizes it on paper for clients who need documentation.
