Booking Tips

Hourly Charter or Point-to-Point? Choosing the Right Booking Type

PrimeClass ServicesMay 19, 20264 min read

When a single transfer is the smart choice, when hourly service pays for itself, and how the two price out against each other.

Both booking types deliver the same vehicle and the same chauffeur. The difference is how the time is structured — and choosing wrong is the most common way people overpay.

Point-to-point transfers

A fixed origin and destination, priced on base fare plus distance. Ideal for airport runs, dinner reservations, and any single-leg journey with no waiting in between.

Hourly charter

The vehicle and chauffeur remain at your disposal for a set number of hours, with a two-hour minimum. Ideal for multi-stop days, shopping, tours, and evenings with an uncertain end time.

When hourly wins

  • Three or more stops in a single outing
  • Any stop where you need the vehicle to wait
  • Uncertain schedules — meetings, events, nights out
  • Luggage or purchases you would rather not carry between stops

A quick comparison

Two separate transfers with an hour of waiting between them usually cost more than a three-hour hourly booking — and hourly gives you the flexibility to change plans mid-trip.
