Hourly Chauffeur Service in Pittsburgh
Book the chauffeur rather than the trip. The car waits, your bags stay in it, and the day runs on your schedule instead of on a dispatcher's.

Hourly & As-Directed Service in Pittsburgh, PA
Pittsburgh's economy has shifted to healthcare, robotics and higher education, and the ground transportation reflects it: UPMC, Carnegie Mellon, the autonomous vehicle firms in the Strip District and Lawrenceville. The airport is about twenty-five minutes from downtown through the Fort Pitt Tunnel.
What "as directed" actually means
You reserve a block of hours — three is the usual minimum, four in some markets — and inside that block the vehicle is yours. You do not name the stops in advance, you do not re-book between them, and the chauffeur waits at the kerb or in a nearby garage while you are inside. Luggage, samples, coats and shopping stay in the car.
It is the most flexible product we sell and, past about four separate movements in a day, the cheapest. Four point-to-point transfers across a business day almost always cost more than a five-hour as-directed block, and they leave you waiting for a car between each one.
What this means in Pittsburgh
The Fort Pitt Tunnel is the pinch point between the airport and downtown and it backs up hard in both peaks. Airport departures are quoted with that built in.
The new landside terminal changed the arrivals roadway, so directions written a few years ago no longer apply.
A typical as-directed day in Pittsburgh
Most hourly bookings here move between these districts, and the route is built against the real traffic profile for the date rather than an average.
The chauffeur identifies the drop-off point, the loading dock and a legal wait or nearby garage for each building before the day starts. On a dense downtown day that preparation is most of the value.

Questions
Hourly & As-Directed in Pittsburgh
What is the minimum hourly booking in Pittsburgh?
Three hours in most US markets. Inside the block the vehicle is yours: unlimited stops, luggage stays aboard, and the chauffeur waits rather than leaving between them.
Is hourly cheaper than separate transfers in Pittsburgh?
Past about four separate movements in a day, almost always — and it removes the waiting between them. The desk will compare both for your itinerary before you book.
What happens if we run over in Pittsburgh?
Overtime is billed in fifteen-minute increments at the same hourly rate. There is no penalty rate and no re-booking.
Where does the car wait between stops?
At the kerb where the building allows it, or in a nearby garage where it does not. The Fort Pitt Tunnel is the pinch point between the airport and downtown and it backs up hard in both peaks. Airport departures are quoted with that built in.
