Book a Swan Chauffeur vehicle by the hour for shopping trips, appointments, events, or wherever the day takes you, with no fixed destination and complete flexibility.
What is hourly hire chauffeur service? Hourly hire Perth means you book a vehicle and chauffeur for a set number of hours and direct them wherever you need to go: multiple stops, changed plans, extended stays. The chauffeur stays with the vehicle throughout. No fixed route, no drop-off and disappear.
Popular with shoppers visiting DFO and Lakeside Joondalup, clients attending multiple appointments, guests at multi-venue events, and those who simply prefer the convenience of a door to door private vehicle throughout the day.
Race days at Ascot and Belmont Park and nights out at Crown Perth suit hourly hire well. Your chauffeur waits while you are inside, so there is no hunt for a ride home when the last race finishes or the night winds down.
Minimum booking is 3 hours. Extensions can be arranged on the day (subject to availability). Your chauffeur remains with the vehicle throughout.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum booking?
The minimum booking for hourly hire is 3 hours. This applies to all as directed bookings within Perth metro. We do not offer hourly hire bookings shorter than 3 hours. If you need a single point-to-point transfer, such as an airport pickup or a one-way CBD transfer, those are handled as fixed price transfers under our Airport Transfers or Corporate Travel services, not hourly hire. The 3-hour minimum exists because hourly hire is designed for multi-stop or open-ended use, not single trips.
Can I extend my booking on the day?
Yes, subject to vehicle availability. If your schedule runs longer than expected or you decide to add more stops, contact us directly or speak with your chauffeur. We will confirm whether an extension is possible within a few minutes. Extensions are charged at the same hourly rate as the original booking, billed in 30-minute increments. There is no premium or rebooking fee for same-day extensions. If you think you may need extra time, it is worth mentioning at the start of the booking so we can flag the vehicle as potentially available.
Is waiting time included?
Yes. All waiting time is included within your hired hours. If you are inside a venue, restaurant, medical clinic, or office, your chauffeur stays with the vehicle and is ready to move as soon as you return. You are not penalised for spending time at a stop. The hired time runs continuously from the start of the booking to the end, whether the vehicle is moving or stationary. This is one of the key practical differences between hourly hire and a standard taxi or ride-share arrangement.
Can I use this service for shopping?
Absolutely. Hourly hire is well suited to shopping trips, particularly for clients who need to visit multiple locations or carry larger items. Your chauffeur assists with loading and unloading bags at each stop, parks as close to the entrance as possible, and waits with the vehicle so you do not need to rush. Popular uses include Claremont Quarter, Garden City, Karrinyup, and David Jones on Hay Street. It is also a practical option for those managing mobility issues or who prefer not to navigate car parks and carry heavy bags.
How do I book a half day or full day package?
Use the booking form on this page and select the duration you need. We will confirm the vehicle, rate, and start time by return. Half day packages start from 4 hours and full day packages from 8 hours. If you are not sure how long you need, book the shorter duration and extend on the day if required. For multi-day bookings or programs that span several days in a row, contact us directly so we can assign a consistent vehicle and chauffeur across the full period.
Can I use hourly hire for hospital or medical appointments?
Yes. Medical and hospital appointments are one of the most common uses for our hourly hire service, particularly for clients attending multiple appointments in a day, patients being discharged after a procedure, or families accompanying someone through a course of treatment. Your chauffeur waits at the hospital while you are inside and drives you home when you are ready, with no need to call a second vehicle. We also offer fixed-rate transfer packages specifically for hospital routes to Fiona Stanley, Sir Charles Gairdner, Hollywood Private, and all major Perth hospitals: see our Hospital Transfers Perth page for pricing and details.
