The Price Range, by Tier
| Tier | Hourly | Vehicles |
|---|---|---|
| Luxury | $200–$300 | Mercedes S-Class, white S-Class |
| Exotic | $575–$850 | Rolls-Royce Ghost, Maybach sedan and SUV, Lamborghini Urus, G-Wagon AMG |
| Flagship | $995 | Rolls-Royce Cullinan, horse carriage |
| Protected | Quoted per assignment | Bulletproof Cadillac Escalade |
Vehicle-by-vehicle rates are listed on the exotic and luxury fleet page.
What “All-Inclusive” Actually Means Here
Most quotes in this industry are a base rate with things added afterward. Ours isn’t. The hourly rate includes:
| Included | What it usually costs elsewhere |
|---|---|
| Gratuity | Commonly 18–20% added at the end |
| Taxes | Added per booking |
| Tolls | Itemized afterward |
| Fuel | Sometimes a separate surcharge |
| Peak dates and holidays | Surge or event pricing |
| The chauffeur | Always included, but worth saying: these vehicles are never self-drive |
The practical effect: a $995 hourly quote elsewhere with 20% gratuity, taxes and tolls added becomes roughly $1,250 an hour by the time it’s paid. Ours stays $995. Compare quotes on the all-in total, not the headline rate.
Worked Examples
| Booking | Vehicle | Hours | All-in total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bridal arrival and exit | Rolls-Royce Cullinan | 3 | $2,985 |
| Wedding, ceremony through reception | Rolls-Royce Ghost | 5 | $2,875 |
| Proposal evening | Lamborghini Urus | 3 | $2,250 |
| Visiting executive, full day | Maybach sedan | 8 | $5,200 |
| Gala, arrival and departure | Maybach SUV | 4 | $3,400 |
| Executive airport day | Mercedes S-Class | 4 | $800 |
| Milestone birthday night | G-Wagon AMG | 5 | $4,250 |
| Ceremony arrival | Horse carriage | 2 | {{CARRIAGE_MIN_NOTE}} |
Totals are the hourly rate multiplied by the booked hours — nothing else is added. Minimums apply: {{HOURLY_MINIMUM}}

Why There Are Minimums
A flagship vehicle booked for your afternoon isn’t available to anyone else that day, and it’s prepped, staged and chauffeured specifically for you. Minimums reflect that — they’re standard across the industry at this tier, and any company quoting an exotic by the single hour is either adding charges later or sending something other than what you think you booked.
Plan the timeline around the minimum rather than against it. If the ceremony run is 90 minutes, use the remaining hours for photographs, the couple’s exit, or a parents’ transfer instead of leaving them unused.
What Changes the Total
| Factor | Effect |
|---|---|
| The vehicle | The biggest single variable — $200 to $995 an hour |
| Hours booked | Straight multiplication; no tiered penalties |
| Multiple vehicles | Each priced at its own rate, quoted as one booking |
| Distance beyond Chicagoland | Long-distance and interstate trips quoted per route |
| Date | No effect on price — availability, not rate, is what changes on peak dates |
| Time of day | No effect |
| Traffic or weather | No effect — hourly means time, not distance |
Where the Budget Is Best Spent
- Put the flagship where it’s photographed. Book the Cullinan for the arrival and a quieter vehicle for the rest of the day
- Split the fleet by role — flagship for the principals, S-Class for family, Sprinter for guests. See wedding transportation
- Use the hours you’re paying for. Photographs, a second location, the exit
- Book the S-Class for the working parts of the day at $200/hr and save the exotic for the moment that matters
- Ask about multi-vehicle quoting — one booking, one invoice, one dispatcher
How the Quote Is Built
- Send the date, occasion, itinerary and passenger count
- We confirm availability and hold the vehicle
- You receive an all-inclusive quote — vehicle, hours, route, total
- Nothing is added afterward unless you add hours or stops on the day
