What Hourly Charter Service Is
Hourly charter gives you a private vehicle and driver for a set block of time. Our dispatch team arranges the car through vetted local affiliate operators. You can make multiple stops, keep the car waiting, and adjust the itinerary within the booked window. This works well when you do not want to order separate rides all day.
Who Uses This Service in Kansas City
Wedding parties use hourly charter for photos, ceremony, and reception moves. Real estate agents showing luxury homes in Mission Hills, Leawood, and near Loose Park rely on hourly service for client tours. Executives with back-to-back meetings in downtown, the Plaza, and Overland Park book sedans for half-day or full-day blocks. Visitors also use hourly charter for brewery tours in the Crossroads and West Bottoms, or for dinner and a show at the Kauffman Center.
Local Routes and Pricing
Hourly rates for sedans typically start around a written flat rate to $120 per hour with a three-hour minimum. SUVs and vans run higher. Airport transfers outside the hourly window are priced separately; for example, downtown-to-MCI starts at a written flat rate. Long-distance runs to Lawrence, Topeka, or St. Joseph are priced per route or by the hour. Overtime beyond the booked block is billed in 15-minute or 30-minute increments.
When Demand Peaks
Wedding season runs from May through October and books up quickly on Saturdays. Chiefs home games, Royals summer weekends, and Plaza Lights during the holidays create short supply. First Fridays in the Crossroads and major performances at the Kauffman Center also increase demand. We recommend booking weekend charters several weeks ahead.
One Honest Limitation
Instant availability on Chiefs home game days is limited. Many vehicles are reserved well in advance, and post-game traffic around Arrowhead can delay returns. If you need a car waiting after a game, book early and build in extra time for the stadium exit queues.
