Hourly vs. monthly driver: which one do you need?
Both options give you a trained driver for your own car. The right one depends on how often you need to be driven, and how predictable your schedule is.
Choose an hourly driver if…
- You need a driver a few times a week or month.
- Your plans change often — book when you need, no commitment.
- You want cover for one-off occasions: a wedding, an airport run, a night out.
With hourly booking, Ritzy estimates usage hours from your trip, shows the fare up front, and sends a driver within 30 minutes.
Choose a monthly driver if…
- You commute to the office every day.
- You have fixed routines like school runs.
- You want the same person driving your family car regularly.
For a monthly driver, send a Monthly enquiry from the booking card with your start time and working hours. Our team calls you within 24 hours to arrange a dedicated driver.
