Service 07

The same driver, every day.

A standing arrangement rather than a booking. One chauffeur learns your week — the gate code, the school gate, the loading bay your building actually lets cars use — and then stops needing to be told. Built on hourly work from $85 per hour and quoted across the dates in writing.

01 — Definition

A diary, not a run of separate bookings.

Booked one at a time, a car arrives as a stranger. You give the gate code on Monday, explain the side entrance on Tuesday, and mention on Wednesday that the loading bay closes at six. A private driver in Los Angeles is the arrangement that ends that conversation. The office holds one chauffeur and one vehicle against a run of dates, and the shape of the week is agreed once.

Underneath, it is time. The mechanics are hourly: from $85 per hour, in whichever class you pick. What changes is the commitment. Rather than telephoning on Sunday night for Monday morning, you settle a week — or a month, or a whole season in town — and the roster is built around it.

The learning is the point. By the third morning nobody is giving directions. Your chauffeur knows which of two entrances moves faster at eight, that the second passenger sits in front, and that the bag left in the boot on Tuesday should still be there on Thursday. None of it appears on an invoice. All of it is why arrangements get renewed.

One desk holds the diary. A change telephoned at nine in the evening reaches the dispatcher who can actually move the car, not a queue that reads it in the morning. Being a direct operator rather than a broker is what makes that possible: the vehicle, its upkeep and the person driving it all sit inside one company.

If the commitment is one long day rather than a run of them, hourly and as-directed work is the lighter version of this. For several passengers on one company account, read corporate travel instead.

02 — What the week looks like

Five things a standing car gets asked to do.

No two diaries match, but they rhyme. These are the blocks people build an arrangement out of, and the reason one driver beats five different ones.

01

The standing weekday shape

A start time, a first address and a finish time, repeating Monday to Friday until you change it. Once it is in the roster nobody rings to confirm it and nobody re-quotes it. The middle of each day stays open — meetings move, a lunch runs long, an address is added by text at eleven — and the car absorbs all of that because it is yours for the block rather than booked to a route. It is the same clock as ordinary hourly work, agreed once instead of forty times a quarter.

How the clock works How hourly and as-directed work

02

School gates and collections

Two runs a day, the same two gates, and a chauffeur the office already knows by sight. Child seats are fitted before the day rather than argued about on it.

Vehicle classes See the six vehicle classes

03

Airport days inside the diary

A Tuesday red-eye and a Thursday return sit in the same arrangement. Dispatch watches the aircraft, and an LAX arrival still carries thirty minutes of complimentary wait from wheels down.

LAX transfers LAX airport transfers

04

Evenings with no stated end

Dinner that becomes somewhere else. The car waits rather than being released, and the overrun is added at the rate already agreed after a call to dispatch.

05

Whichever director is in town

A company keeps the arrangement and passes the car between visiting executives. One diary, several passengers, one invoice at the end of the month.

03 — Setting one up

Six steps between the first call and a car that knows the way.

The setup is deliberately front-loaded. Most of the work happens before the first morning, which is why the tenth morning takes no work at all.

Describe the shape, not the stops

Dates, rough start and finish times, how many passengers and which class of vehicle. Nobody needs an address list yet. A week of nine-to-six in a sedan for two people is enough for the office to price and to hold.

One written quote covering the dates

Back comes a single figure for the arrangement rather than a rate card: the hours, the class, and any minimum that applies to your dates. What happens if the dates move, and what notice the arrangement carries, are stated on that confirmation before you accept it. Nothing is held until you do.

A chauffeur is named and a reserve is briefed

You are told who is driving. A second chauffeur reads the same diary so that illness or a day off changes the face at the wheel and nothing else. Both have signed a non-disclosure agreement as a condition of driving for us.

The first morning is the long one

This is where you say the things you will never have to say again. Which of the two entrances the car should use. That the loading bay wants a call ahead. Which neighbour objects to a vehicle standing outside. Where the residents' spaces stop being residents' spaces after seven.

Changes go to dispatch, not to the driver

A new address, a start pulled forward, a Friday dropped. Telephone or text the desk and the roster is amended. Your chauffeur is told rather than asked to remember, and the diary stays the same in two places instead of drifting apart.

It is reviewed, not rolled on quietly

At the end of a block the office asks what should change: fewer hours, a larger vehicle for a month of visitors, an earlier start through the summer. An arrangement that no longer fits is worse than no arrangement, and it costs you money.

Setting one up starts on (323) 799-3190 or through the reservation form — put the dates in the notes and the office will come back with the diary priced as one figure.

04 — Who keeps one

Three kinds of client, one arrangement.

Nobody retains a driver because it sounds impressive. They do it because the alternative is forty small decisions a month, each of which can go wrong.

Households with a fixed rhythm

Two school runs, a standing Wednesday appointment, and someone in the house who would rather not drive Sunset after dark. The same chauffeur means the seats are already right, the car seat is already fitted, and the twelve-year-old does not have to explain the address.

Offices with a stream of visitors

The arrangement belongs to the company and the passenger changes weekly. Whoever flies in that Monday inherits a driver who already knows the garage, the hotel and the twenty minutes the map underestimates on the way to Century City.

Anyone in town for a stretch

A production that runs eleven weeks. A course of appointments at a hospital across the county line. A house under renovation with a rental thirty minutes away. Time-limited, heavily scheduled, and much easier with one car than with a phone full of separate confirmations.

There is a fourth group who try it for a fortnight and go back to booking each journey, and that is a sensible outcome too. A standing arrangement earns its keep when the diary is dense or the addresses are awkward. Two runs a week to the same two places does not need one, and the office will say so rather than sell you the larger product.

05 — The car in the arrangement

One vehicle, held for the dates.

Retained work rewards a car that is easy to get into twice a day and quiet enough to work in between. The X5 is the class most arrangements settle on.

BMW X5

High enough to step into rather than drop into, small enough for a Beverly Hills side street and a two-level garage. Four passengers, a boot that swallows a week of school bags and a case, and a cabin that stays quiet on the 405 at seven in the morning.

Or a different class, for the same dates

A Mercedes-Benz S-Class takes three and is the choice when the back seat is an office. An Escalade ESV or a Yukon Denali takes six and earns its place the week the family visits. A Suburban takes seven. A Sprinter takes fourteen, which is a different product but occasionally the right one for a Friday.

The class is fixed when the arrangement is quoted, because the vehicle is what the figure is built on. Changing it mid-block is a requote rather than a favour, and the office would rather do that than send you something that does not fit. If a vehicle has to be substituted for a mechanical reason, you are told which car is coming before it leaves.

All six classes, with capacities and luggage, are on the fleet page. Six or seven passengers on a standing basis is usually better read as luxury SUV service.

Already in the car

Bottled water, charging for the usual connectors, and a boot kept empty for you rather than half full of someone else's job. Tolls on the route are inside the figure.

Arranged before the day

Child seats, a rear-facing seat and a booster. Oversized luggage. A second vehicle when the headcount outgrows the one you retained. Each is quoted in advance, never produced afterwards.

Never added quietly

No surge, no evening multiplier, no charge for telephoning the desk. Venue and garage parking is passed through at what it cost. Gratuity goes on the invoice only if you ask for it.

06 — Asked before signing

What people want settled before they commit a month.

Six answers, including the two where the honest reply points at your confirmation rather than at a number we could have invented here.

Hourly hire is bought one block at a time. A private driver is a standing arrangement: the same chauffeur, the same vehicle and a diary that repeats until you change it. The clock works the same way in both, but the diary is agreed once rather than negotiated every week.

That is the point of the product, and it is what the booking is held to. Illness and days off still exist, so a second chauffeur is briefed on your diary in advance and drives the car when the first cannot. You hear who is coming before the day, never at the kerb.

Far enough ahead for the office to hold one chauffeur and one vehicle against your dates, which for a busy week in town means as early as you can manage it. The notice period, the length of the arrangement and what happens if the dates move are all written on your confirmation before you accept it.

Yes, once the arrangement is live and the office holds the addresses and the names. School collections, a case dropped at a hotel, dry cleaning and airport meets for guests are ordinary work. Anything needing a child seat is arranged before the day rather than on it.

It is built on hourly work, which starts from $85 per hour, so the total follows the vehicle class and the hours in the diary. The arrangement is quoted as one written figure across the dates instead of being re-priced each morning. Any minimum that applies is stated on your confirmation.

Every chauffeur signs a non-disclosure agreement as a condition of driving for us. Addresses, names, the shape of your diary and anything said in the car stay inside the company, and no photographs are taken.

Other questions go to the desk on (323) 799-3190. How quotations, waiting and cancellations work in general is set out in the terms and conditions, and the founder's side of it is on the leadership page.

07 — Reserve

Send us the dates. We will send back the diary, priced.

A week, a month or a season, in whichever class suits the passengers. One chauffeur named before the first morning, one figure across the whole arrangement, and no part of it agreed only out loud.

Reservations are answered at any hour, which matters when a diary changes at eleven at night.
