An hourly chauffeur in Tokyo, your car and private driver, for as long as you need them.
Book a chauffeur by the hour and the car never leaves your side. Your private driver waits while you meet, shop, dine or sightsee, then takes you to the next stop the moment you're ready. No taxis to hail, no route fixed in advance, no meter ticking in a language you don't read. Your schedule, your pace, your day. From ¥18,000 an hour, confirmed in writing.
What's included
- The car stays with you: your chauffeur and vehicle remain on standby between stops; no re-booking, no waiting for a pickup, no surge.
- Your schedule, not a fixed route: change plans, add a stop, linger longer. The day bends to you, not the other way around.
- A licensed, discreet chauffeur: punctual, professional, and quietly out of the way until you need him.
- Your language, confirmed: Italian, French, Spanish, English or Japanese, agreed at booking, in writing.
- One clear hourly price: from ¥18,000/hour for the Standard class, minimum hours apply, confirmed before you book. No meter, no surprises.
- The right vehicle: from the Toyota Alphard to the Mercedes-Benz S 500, matched to your group and the kind of day you have in mind.
A private driver for the day, on your terms
Some days don't fit a single transfer. A morning meeting in Marunouchi, lunch across town, an afternoon in the boutiques, dinner in another district entirely. Hiring a private driver for the day in Tokyo means one chauffeur holds the whole day together, the bags stay in the car, the next stop is already understood, and the only thing you carry between addresses is yourself. It is the quiet luxury of never thinking about transport again until the day is done.
Perfect for
Business meetings, arrive composed, leave on time, and keep your car waiting between appointments across the city. Luxury shopping in Ginza, your purchases go straight to the car; you keep your hands free and your chauffeur a step away. A full day of sightseeing, Asakusa, Meiji Shrine, teamLab, the views from Roppongi, at your own pace, with no train changes. Dinner & nightlife, a discreet driver on call through the evening, so no one in your party ever waits on a kerb. Multi-stop city days, several districts, several appointments, one chauffeur who keeps it all moving without friction.
