Standard point-to-point bookings assume one pickup and one destination. Hourly hire — sometimes called “as directed” — reserves a driver and vehicle for a block of time, allowing multiple stops within agreed mileage limits.
Airport Transfers Taxi offers hourly hire for roadshows, wedding parties, shopping itineraries, and events where flexibility matters more than a single fixed route.
Ideal uses
- Corporate roadshows visiting several City offices in one afternoon
- Wedding guest transport between ceremony, photos, and reception
- Shopping trips with multiple store stops and heavy bags
- VIP sightseeing with a professional driver who knows London
- Film, fashion, or media location moves within a day
Minimum hire and pricing
Minimum hire periods typically apply — often two or three hours depending on vehicle class and date. Rates are quoted per hour with mileage caps explained at booking. Extensions may be possible subject to driver availability. Peak Saturdays and bank holidays book early.
How it differs from multiple one-way bookings
Three separate airport-style bookings mean three dispatch cycles and less flexibility between stops. Hourly hire keeps the same car with you, reducing waiting charges and communication overhead. For unpredictable schedules, hourly is usually more economical and calmer.
