Quick Answer
Lanz CTS quotes hourly chauffeur hire per booking rather than from a public price list. An hourly rate depends on the vehicle class — Business Class (Mercedes-Benz E-Class), Business Class XL (V-Class), First Class (S-Class or BMW 7 Series) or First Class SUV (Range Rover) — the hours you book, the time of day and how far the journey runs. Hourly hire has a two-hour minimum, and eight hours counts as a full day.
- Every booking includes the chauffeur, the vehicle, fuel and congestion charges, bottled water, Wi-Fi and device charging
- Parking and waiting beyond the included allowance are charged separately
- Hourly hire suits multi-stop days, where the car waits between meetings
- Send the date, hours, vehicle class and route to get a quote

When seeking an exceptional travel experience, whether for business, events, or VIP convenience, it’s essential to understand chauffeur service pricing. At Lanz CTS, as directed hourly chauffeur service pricing reflects the quality, professionalism, and comfort our clients expect. Let’s look at what sets the hourly rate for each service tier, what every booking includes, and how to get a figure for your own journey.
Service Categories and What Sets the Rate
Lanz CTS provides four distinct levels of service, each tailored to different needs and preferences:
| Service Tier | Vehicles | Minimum Booking |
|---|---|---|
| Business Class | Mercedes-Benz E-Class | 2 hours |
| Business Class XL | Mercedes-Benz V-Class | 2 hours |
| First Class | Mercedes-Benz S-Class or BMW 7 Series | 2 hours |
| First Class SUV | Range Rover | 2 hours |
Lanz CTS quotes each booking rather than publishing a rate card, because the hourly figure follows the vehicle class, the hours you book, the route and the time of day. Hourly hire starts at a two-hour minimum, and eight hours counts as a full day, which is usually better value than the same hours booked as separate transfers. These are the things that move your quote:
- Vehicle class — Business Class, Business Class XL, First Class or First Class SUV
- Hours booked — a two-hour minimum by the hour, or eight hours as a full day
- Route and distance — city-centre meetings, an airport run, or a journey out of London
- Timing — overnight and early-morning starts, and peak event dates
- Extras — parking, and waiting beyond the allowance included in your booking
Send us the date, the hours, the vehicle class and the route, and we will price it: request a quote.
What You Get with Each Hourly Booking
No matter the service tier, every Lanz CTS booking includes:
- A professional, fully insured chauffeur
- A luxury vehicle, impeccably maintained
- Inclusive fuel and congestion charges
- Complimentary bottled water, Wi-Fi, and device charging ports.
Additional charges may apply for extended waiting times or parking in restricted zones. However, Lanz CTS prides itself on transparent pricing—the figure we quote before your journey is the figure you pay.
Why Opt for Hourly Pricing?

Hourly services offer unparalleled flexibility and control, ideal for:
- Multi-stop journeys, such as between meetings or private sightseeing
- Wait-on-demand service, with your chauffeur ready when and where you need them
- Dynamic schedules, including last-minute changes or extensions
This makes hourly packages perfect for executive roadshows, event VIPs, or business travellers who need a trusted partner on the move.
Maximising Hourly Hire ROI
To make the most of hourly chauffeur services:
- Book at least 2 hours to meet minimum requirements—shorter bookings are not accepted.
- Consider full-day hire (8 hours)—the per-hour rate becomes more economical.
- Notify us of specific needs—amenities like magazines, specific climate settings, or route preferences help us tailor the experience.
- Use our 24/7 support—for adjustments or new bookings on the go, we’re here to assist.
