Hourly Chauffeur Hire Tameside & Manchester
Dedicated Vehicle • Multiple Stops • Waiting Time • Flexible Itineraries
Delux Travels provides pre-booked hourly and as-directed chauffeur hire across Tameside, Manchester and Greater Manchester for journeys where you need more flexibility than a normal point-to-point transfer.
Reserve a vehicle and driver for an agreed period and travel between planned stops for meetings, shopping, dining, appointments, events, sightseeing or a bespoke day itinerary.
Quotes and online estimates are not booking confirmations. Your hire is confirmed when Delux Travels sends written booking confirmation.

How As-Directed Chauffeur Hire Works
Send Your Plans
Provide the travel date, expected duration, passenger numbers, starting location and approximate itinerary.
Select the Vehicle
We can assess a suitable Standard, Executive or VIP vehicle according to the passengers and type of journey.
Agree the Hire Period
The anticipated duration, itinerary and booking requirements are agreed before written confirmation is issued.
Travel Between Stops
The booked vehicle and driver remain assigned during the agreed service period, subject to the confirmed itinerary and booking terms.
One Vehicle for a Multi-Stop Itinerary
Hourly hire is particularly useful when your day involves several connected destinations and you do not want to arrange a separate vehicle for every stage.
Waiting periods and multiple stops should be included when requesting the quote so the anticipated hire period can be assessed properly.
When Hourly Chauffeur Hire Can Work Better
Business Meetings
Travel between offices, hotels, meetings and appointments while keeping one vehicle assigned to the itinerary.
Shopping
Suitable for journeys involving several shopping destinations or time between collections.
Dining & Hospitality
Arrange transport around restaurants, hotels, hospitality venues and other planned stops during the same booking.
Events
Useful where your event schedule involves several venues, collections, waiting periods or onward destinations.
Sightseeing & Day Travel
Flexible private transport for a planned day itinerary with several attractions or destinations.
Bespoke Itineraries
A practical option when your journey does not fit a straightforward single-transfer booking.

How Hourly Chauffeur Hire Is Quoted
There is no single advertised price that suits every as-directed booking. The quotation depends on the selected vehicle, requested hire period and expected itinerary.
If your planned stops or required duration change materially, this can affect the journey price or availability. Changes and additional time should therefore be discussed with Delux Travels as early as possible.

Hourly Chauffeur Hire FAQs
What is hourly or as-directed chauffeur hire?
It is a pre-booked service where a vehicle and driver are assigned for an agreed period rather than solely for one point-to-point journey.
What is the difference between hourly hire and a normal transfer?
A normal transfer is primarily arranged between an agreed collection point and destination. Hourly hire is better suited to journeys involving multiple stops, waiting periods or a longer itinerary.
Does the vehicle stay with me between stops?
The booked vehicle and driver remain assigned during the agreed service period, subject to the confirmed itinerary and booking terms.
Can I include waiting time between destinations?
Yes. Expected waiting periods can form part of an as-directed itinerary. Include them when requesting your quote so the required hire period can be assessed.
Can I make several stops?
Yes. Multiple planned stops can be included within an agreed hourly or as-directed booking.
Can the itinerary change during the booking?
Minor changes can be discussed with the driver or Delux Travels, but significant changes to the itinerary or required duration may affect availability or the quoted price.
Can I book hourly chauffeur hire for shopping or dining?
Yes. Hourly hire can be suitable for shopping, restaurants, hospitality and other leisure itineraries involving several stops or waiting periods.
Can hourly hire be used for business meetings?
Yes. The service can be arranged around several meetings, offices, hotels or appointments during the same booking period.
How much does hourly chauffeur hire cost?
Pricing depends on the selected vehicle, requested duration and expected itinerary. Send Delux Travels your plans for a specific quotation.
Is an hourly hire quote a confirmed booking?
No. A quote or online estimate does not by itself confirm the hire. Your booking is confirmed after Delux Travels provides written booking confirmation.
