Eight hours, sedan
Eight times $120 is a $960 start. Ask when the clock starts. That example is not a commute.

Full-day chauffeur service in New York
Full-day service means the car and driver stay reserved for the hours you book on that date.
Choose the setup that matches the day
The traveler only needed a morning drop
A morning drop is not a full-day hold. A repeating drop is daily car service.
Daily serviceAirport at the end of the hold
Put the airline cutoff on the run sheet so the reserved hours cover the last ride.

Hours reserved, not a commute that repeats
Book a full-day chauffeur when one date needs the same car kept available: a board visit with gaps between buildings, a site tour, or an out-of-town guest who should not hunt for a ride after each meeting.
Daily car service is a trip that recurs, such as a morning office run where the car leaves. Book a full-day hold for continuous hours on one date, and a daily trip when you only need the drop-off.
Ask when the clock starts
Write the first pickup and the expected last drop. The quote confirms when billed time begins, whether that is at pickup or at an earlier staging time, and how time past the reservation is charged.
Reserve through a finish time you can keep, not the earliest hope. Ask whether an extension is available that evening.
What an eight-hour example is, and is not
Eight hours at the published starting rates is $960 in a sedan, $1,200 in an SUV, $1,840 in an S-Class and $1,920 in a Sprinter. Six hours is $720, $900, $1,380 and $1,440. The three-hour minimum still applies, so a shorter day is not prorated below $360, $450, $690 or $720.
Those figures are the hourly starts multiplied by the hours reserved, not an all-inclusive day rate. The quote confirms tolls, parking, airport charges, gratuity and extra waiting. Once the car is held, the $130 sedan point-to-point start does not apply.
Build the day as a run sheet
Number the stops. Next to each one, note a hard arrival time or “window.” Mark where the passenger gets out and the car waits nearby, and where the car may leave and return. A wait that is not written down becomes an argument at the curb.
If the day ends at an airport, add the airline’s terminal deadline as the last immovable time. If it starts at an airport, the full-day clock and the flight’s baggage delay are both real; do not start a meeting countdown at landing.

Before booking
Frequently asked questions
How is a full-day chauffeur different from daily car service?
Full-day service retains the car for hours on one date. Daily service repeats a scheduled trip, usually without holding the car between days or between the morning drop and the evening. They should be quoted separately.
What does an eight-hour sedan day start at?
Eight times $120, which is $960. An eight-hour SUV starts at $1,200, an S-Class at $1,840 and a Sprinter at $1,920. Confirm the clock and any charges beyond the hourly start.
Is the three-hour minimum waived for a full day?
No. The minimum still exists, but a genuine full day is longer than three hours, so the minimum is not the number you will book. It only matters if the “day” collapses into a short job.
Can the itinerary change after the car is out?
Ask on the confirmation how changes are approved and whether extra hours can be added. Do not assume the driver can extend the day without checking the car’s next assignment.
Should a visitor’s empty afternoon still be on the reservation?
If the car must remain available, yes, those hours are part of the hold. If the traveler will not need a car until evening, two shorter bookings may cost less. Compare both quotes with the gap written down.
