Hourly chauffeur service, sometimes called "as directed", means the vehicle and the chauffeur are yours for the hours you book. You set the first pickup, and from there the day can change as often as it needs to: an extra meeting, a longer lunch, a stop you forgot. First Class Limo provides hourly service across Nashville, Murfreesboro, Franklin, Brentwood and the rest of Middle Tennessee with 2025 black SUVs, a BMW 7 Series, and 14 passenger Sprinter vans.

When hourly beats point-to-point
A single airport run or a ride to a concert is simpler as a point-to-point transfer with a flat quote. Hourly makes sense as soon as the day has more than two stops or an uncertain end time: a roadshow with four meetings between downtown and Cool Springs, a wedding day with hair, photos, ceremony and reception, a distillery and winery outing, or a night that starts with dinner in the Gulch and ends whenever it ends. We compare the two in detail in hourly versus point-to-point.
How an hourly booking runs
- Book the block. Tell dispatch the date, start time, first pickup, passenger count and roughly how long you need. You get a confirmation with the rate and the chauffeur's details.
- The chauffeur stays with you. Between stops the vehicle waits nearby. You text when you are ten minutes from ready and it is at the door.
- Change the plan freely. Add a stop, swap the order, extend the evening. Extra time is billed at the same hourly rate, and dispatch confirms before the block runs over.
- End where you like. The booking ends at your last drop-off, anywhere in our service area.
Who uses hourly service
Executives with back-to-back meetings who need to work between stops. Entertainment and sports clients who want the same discreet driver all day. Wedding planners who need a vehicle on standby. Families hosting out-of-town guests for a weekend. Groups doing Broadway without nominating a designated driver. The common thread is that the day is worth more than the time spent waiting for the next ride.
