Why Canberra locals book us by the hour
Canberra is designed to be driven — but that's a problem when you're doing five stops around the Parliamentary Triangle and none of the visitor carparks are next to each other. Hourly hire means your chauffeur drops you at the National Gallery door, moves the car, and picks you up at the National Portrait Gallery entrance without you crossing a single roundabout on foot.

How hourly chauffeur hire works in Canberra
Canberra Hourly Chauffeur FAQs
How does hourly chauffeur hire work in Canberra?
You book a chauffeur and car for a block of hours — same driver, same vehicle, across every stop. Waiting is included, whether you're at Manuka, a Deakin appointment or the National Gallery.
What's the minimum booking?
Two hours is the Canberra minimum. Shopping-and-appointments days typically run 3–5 hours; a full day of museums, galleries and embassies runs 6–8 hours.
What's included in the hourly rate?
Chauffeur, vehicle, fuel, bottled water, phone chargers and all waiting time between stops.
Can I change the itinerary mid-booking?
Yes. Add a National Portrait Gallery stop, extend into a Braddon dinner, or skip Belconnen — we adjust live and re-quote before the extension starts.
Do you wait during Deakin or Barton medical appointments?
Yes. Waiting is included — the chauffeur stays close, brings the car to the pickup point, and helps with mobility if needed.
Can I book a full-day tour of galleries and museums?
Yes. Full-day as-directed across the National Gallery, NPG, War Memorial and museums is a common Canberra booking — Executive Sedan for two, V-Class for four to six.
Can you help with an embassy delegation partner program?
Yes. Discreet hourly chauffeurs, briefed per program, are our standard for embassy and delegation partner tours around Yarralumla and the Parliamentary Triangle.
