Hourly charter is the most flexible way to engage Seven Star: a vehicle and a dedicated chauffeur reserved exclusively to you for a block of time, to use exactly as you wish. There is no fixed route. Direct the day as it unfolds — a morning of appointments, an afternoon of shopping along Alberni Street, dinner and a show, or a leisurely tour of the city and the North Shore — and your chauffeur waits between stops, ready when you are. Engagements run on a two-hour minimum, and the itinerary stays open throughout: add a stop, change a destination, or extend simply by telling your chauffeur. Where Executive Chauffeur is built for corporate movement and retainers, hourly charter is the personal equivalent — the same discretion and the same standard of vehicle, placed entirely at your direction.

How Hourly Charter Works
Reserve a block of time and a vehicle; a dedicated chauffeur is assigned for the duration. On the day, your chauffeur arrives early and stays with you from stop to stop, waiting between them so the vehicle is always ready. The itinerary is open: decide where to go as the hours unfold, add stops, or extend the engagement on the spot. Billing is by the hour with a two-hour minimum, quoted by vehicle.
What It Is For
Hourly charter suits the days that do not fit a single point-to-point booking: a round of appointments, a shopping afternoon, a celebration that moves between restaurant and venue, a proposal, or a city tour for visiting guests. For corporate movement, NDAs, and standing retainers, see Executive Chauffeur; for airport runs, see Airport Transfers at YVR.

Hourly charter covers all of Metro Vancouver, with longer engagements available to the North Shore, the Sea-to-Sky corridor, and beyond by arrangement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a minimum booking for hourly charter?
Yes. Hourly charter runs on a two-hour minimum. Beyond that, time is billed by the hour, and the engagement can be extended on the day simply by letting your chauffeur know, subject to availability.
Can I change the itinerary during the engagement?
Absolutely. That is the point of hourly charter. The vehicle and chauffeur are yours for the block of time, the route is open, and you can add or change stops as the day unfolds.
How is hourly charter different from executive chauffeur?
They share the same vehicles and standard. Executive Chauffeur is built around corporate movement, single-driver continuity, NDAs, and retainers. Hourly charter is the personal, as-directed equivalent — ideal for shopping, dining, celebrations, and city days.
