Some days do not fit into a single trip. A meeting in Midtown, lunch Downtown, two more stops and a dinner. Or a visiting executive who needs a car between appointments from nine in the morning until the last call of the day. That is what hourly chauffeur service is for: instead of requesting a new ride at every address, you reserve the vehicle and the chauffeur for a block of time and they stay with you. Here is how it works across Atlanta, Athens and the corridor between them.
What is hourly chauffeur service?
Hourly chauffeur service means the vehicle and the chauffeur are reserved for a block of time rather than for one trip. During that block the car stays with your party between stops, the cabin stays private, and there is nothing to request again at each address. Point-to-point service, by contrast, covers a single ride from pickup to destination and ends there. Both are available with Apex, and the choice is really about how many movements the day holds.
When is hourly better than a point-to-point ride?
Whenever the day holds more than one trip, or whenever the schedule could still move. A single airport transfer rarely needs it; a day with four addresses almost always does. These are the situations passengers most often reserve by the hour:
- Back-to-back meetings in Downtown, Midtown and across Metro Atlanta.
- A client tour, or a candidate being shown around for the day.
- An evening with dinner, an event and a ride home at the end.
- A trip up the corridor to Athens with stops along the way.
- A visiting executive who needs a chauffeur for the whole working day.
- A wedding or graduation weekend with several movements in one day.
How do you plan a day by the hour in Atlanta?
Work from the fixed points. Tell the concierge which stops have a set time, such as a flight, a board meeting or a ceremony, and which ones are flexible, then let the block of hours cover the rest. Give a realistic start time and a rough end, the addresses in order if you already have them, and the number of passengers and bags. Traffic in Atlanta varies a lot by hour, and your chauffeur chooses routes on the day based on conditions.
Can an hourly reservation include the airport and a trip to Athens?
Yes. Apex covers Hartsfield-Jackson, Downtown and Midtown Atlanta, Athens and the University of Georgia, plus the roughly 70-mile corridor between the two cities by I-85 and GA-316. A common shape is an arrival at ATL, a meeting or an event in Athens, and a return the same day, all inside one reservation. Airport pickups are planned around your flight and meet-and-greet service is available at the airport, so share your airline, flight number and terminal.
Which luxury SUV should you reserve for an hourly day?
Pick by how many people ride together and how much they carry, since the same vehicle stays with you all day:
- Cadillac Escalade Premium Luxury Platinum 2023-2024: up to 6 passengers, an executive cabin for a full day of meetings.
- GMC Yukon XL Denali Ultimate 2023-2024: up to 7 passengers, with the most luggage room for groups.
- Lincoln Navigator Black Label L 2024: up to 6 passengers, with extended space.
How is hourly chauffeur service priced?
There is no single figure to publish: what a reservation costs depends on the vehicle class, the distance covered and the time reserved. The online quote at apexluxuryt.com/book prices your specific request, and the Apex concierge can go over the details with you at 470-684-4837, answered 24/7.
How do you book a private chauffeur by the hour?
Request it at apexluxuryt.com/book, call 470-684-4837 (24/7) or text 470-447-8545, which takes text messages only. Include this with your request so the concierge can confirm it in one exchange:
- The date, the start time and roughly how long you need the vehicle.
- The pickup address and the stops you already know, in order.
- Number of passengers and bags, and the vehicle class you prefer.
- A mobile number for trip updates by text, and whether an assistant should receive them too.
- Flight details if the day starts or ends at Hartsfield-Jackson.
Frequently asked questions
How long can I reserve a chauffeur for?
You tell the concierge the block of time your day needs and the reservation is built around it. Availability and details are confirmed for each request, so share the start time and a rough end when you book at apexluxuryt.com/book or call 470-684-4837.
Does the same chauffeur stay with me all day?
That is the point of hourly service: the vehicle and the chauffeur are reserved for your party for the block of time you book, so the same car is there at each stop instead of a new ride being arranged.
What if the day runs differently than planned?
Tell the concierge as early as you can, by text at 470-447-8545 or by phone at 470-684-4837, and they will confirm what can be adjusted for your reservation. Trip updates reach you on the same line.
Can several people share one hourly reservation?
Yes, as long as everyone travels together in the vehicle, because an Apex ride is private to your party. The Escalade and the Navigator seat up to 6 passengers and the Yukon XL Denali seats up to 7.
Does hourly chauffeur service work in Athens too?
Yes. Athens and the University of Georgia are part of the service area, along with Atlanta, Hartsfield-Jackson and the corridor between the two cities.
