A driver by the hour
Hourly Chauffeur Service Barcelona
A vehicle and driver booked for a set number of hours rather than one journey: for meetings across the city, shopping, sightseeing or an evening out. Every booking is quoted on request.
Who it is for
When one transfer is not enough
With an hourly booking you are not tied to one pickup and one drop-off. The vehicle and driver are booked for the hours you choose, so the day can include as many stops as fit in that time, in the order you decide.
It suits days that are hard to plan as separate transfers: meetings in the Eixample in the morning, lunch by the sea in Barceloneta and an afternoon on Montjuïc, or a shopping day on Passeig de Gràcia, which runs through the center of the Eixample from Plaça de Catalunya. For a guided day out on a set itinerary, a private tour may fit better.
-
Meetings across the city

Questions about an hourly chauffeur
How does an hourly chauffeur booking work?
You book a vehicle and driver for a number of hours instead of a single journey. Send the date, the start time, the hours you need and the first pickup address by WhatsApp or with the quote form, and we reply with a quote for those hours.
When is an hourly booking better than a transfer?
When the day has several stops, or you do not know yet how long each one will take. For one journey from one address to another, such as an airport transfer, a transfer is simpler.
Can the hours include a trip out of Barcelona?
Yes. Name the places you want to reach, such as Montserrat or Sitges, with the hours you need, and they are part of the quote.
How is an hourly chauffeur different from a private tour?
Our private tours follow a set itinerary with your own vehicle and guide, priced per group and booked online. An hourly chauffeur has no set itinerary: you choose the stops, and the booking is quoted on request.
Can I book a driver for an evening?
Yes. Give the start time, the addresses and when you expect to finish, and the quote covers those hours. For concerts, conferences and other events, see Event Chauffeur Barcelona.
