Hourly chauffeur · Make room for the day

Stay awhile between San Francisco stops

Browse the waterfront, spend an afternoon at a museum, then head to North Beach for dinner. Pick the stops that suit your day.

    Ferry Building Marketplace

    Browse the food merchants, choose a place to eat, and take a walk along the Embarcadero. It works well as a relaxed stop between a morning appointment and an afternoon plan.

    Good to know: Merchants set their own hours, and the Farmers Market runs on selected days. The current visit page can help you choose a time that suits your plans.

  2. Stop 02 Hands-on time on the waterfront

    Exploratorium at Pier 15

    The hands-on exhibits reward a few hours of curiosity. Its Pier 15 location also makes the Embarcadero an easy nearby walk before or after your visit.

    Good to know: The museum calendar and admission details can help you shape a visit around the galleries that interest you.

  3. Stop 03 An unhurried neighborhood finish

    North Beach

    Browse City Lights, walk toward Washington Square, and leave time for a meal or coffee. A neighborhood stop gives the itinerary space to change with the day.

    Good to know: North Beach’s compact streets and hills make a named corner or restaurant a comfortable place to meet your chauffeur.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

What is the chauffeur hourly rate?

We provide our full-size SUV and a professional chauffeur for $100 per hour, with a three-hour minimum. Three hours is $300 and four hours is $400, before optional gratuity and any additional quoted items. Your SUV and chauffeur remain reserved during the booked period, including time between stops. Review the quote for your date and itinerary.

How many hours should I book?

We’ll help you think through the drives, time at each stop and ride home. Share your itinerary and we can suggest a duration that fits the day you have in mind.

Can we change stops during the trip?

Share the stops you already have in mind. If something changes, let BCS know and we’ll talk through the new route and any change to price or duration.

Can I extend an hourly booking?

If you’d like more time, let us know and we’ll check availability and pricing with you.

Can I review the price before reserving?

Yes. Share your route, date and number of hours to see a trip price. You can review the total and choose an optional tip before payment, and we’re happy to help if anything is unclear.

When does hourly billing start and end?

Hourly time is measured from your scheduled pickup to the recorded end of your ride. Include the final drop-off when planning your booking. When an extension is available and agreed, elapsed time is rounded up to the next 15-minute increment. At a $100 hourly rate, an additional 15-minute increment is $25; a trip lasting three hours and ten minutes totals $325 before other quoted items and optional gratuity. The booked minimum still applies.
