The DBS EXPERIENCE Standard
The Car Is Yours for the Hours You Book
Hourly chauffeur service, also known as chauffeur at disposal, reserves the car and one named chauffeur by the hour, from a four-hour minimum. You set the first pickup, and from there the day is led by you: a string of corporate meetings, an afternoon of private shopping and viewings, a long lunch followed by an early flight. The chauffeur stays with the car between stops, keeps your belongings secure, and adapts the instant a plan shifts. It is the flexible, client-centric answer to a day that will not sit still, quoted as one clear engagement rather than a meter that climbs with every wait.

Who we serve
Built Around the Way You Actually Spend the Day
A day at disposal is rarely about distance. It is about a principal who keeps the same car from the first meeting to the last dinner, an assistant who arranges one engagement instead of six separate transfers, a guest who shops and views and returns without a wait at any kerb. We hold the car for you and let the schedule breathe, so the plan can change and the standard never does.
C-Level & Executives
One car and one chauffeur for a full day of meetings across the city, with the time between stops kept for calls, papers and a moment to think.
Executive & Personal Assistants
A single booking for a whole day or roadshow, with one quote, one chauffeur and live status, rather than a separate transfer to arrange for each stop.
Family Offices & Private Clients
Discreet, continuous service for principals, family and guests across shopping, viewings and appointments, with the same vetted chauffeur all day.
5-Star Hotels & Concierges
A car held at the door for a guest's afternoon or evening, brand-aligned and ready for the museum, the boutiques, dinner and the return.

In Practice
How DBS EXPERIENCE Holds a Full Day
The Executive on a City Day
A managing director has four meetings between the 8th, La Défense and the Left Bank, with gaps that never quite line up. One car is held from morning to early evening. Between stops the principal takes calls in the back, the chauffeur waits nearby, and a meeting that overruns simply moves the rest of the day without a new booking.
The Assistant Running a Roadshow
An executive assistant coordinates a one-day investor roadshow across five addresses. Instead of arranging five transfers, she books a single engagement at disposal. One chauffeur, one quote and live status updates keep the schedule tight, and the order of meetings can shift on the day without a call to rebook.
The Concierge and a Guest's Afternoon
A palace concierge arranges an afternoon for a guest: the boutiques near Place Vendôme, a private viewing, then dinner. The car waits at each stop with the purchases kept secure inside, the same chauffeur stays through the evening, and the guest never settles a fare between appointments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hourly Chauffeur Hire in Paris
Is there a minimum number of hours, and what does hourly hire include?
Hourly chauffeur service, also called chauffeur at disposal, reserves the car and a named chauffeur by the hour, with a four-hour minimum. Within that time the chauffeur stays with you, drives wherever the schedule leads and waits between stops. The quote is agreed in advance against your vehicle, the hours and the day, and it covers the chauffeur, the car, fuel, waiting and tolls within Paris and Île-de-France. There is no meter to follow.
Can I change the itinerary during the day?
Yes. As-directed travel is the point of the service. A meeting runs long, a stop is added, a restaurant changes, and the chauffeur adjusts without a new booking. The car is yours for the reserved hours, so the plan can move with the day rather than the day bending to a fixed route.
Can I book an airport transfer at short notice?
Yes. Our reservations desk operates 24/7, with a response time under 15 minutes during working hours. A same-day engagement can usually be arranged subject to fleet availability, with the same chauffeur standard and vehicle choice as a booking made in advance.
How do you handle luggage, security and waiting between stops?
Your chauffeur assists with luggage at every stop and waits with the car nearby while you attend each appointment, so belongings and documents stay secure in the vehicle. Chauffeurs are vetted and trained, every car is comprehensively insured, and we work to the security protocols set by you, your office or your principal.
Do you offer electric or hybrid vehicles for hourly hire?
Yes. Hybrid and electric options are available on request within our fleet of 25-plus vehicles, allowing travellers and companies with sustainability commitments to keep an executive standard across a full day of stops while reducing the carbon footprint of the engagement in Paris and Île-de-France.
