Hourly Private Chauffeur

Flexible hourly private vehicle and chauffeur for meetings, shopping, dining and city programmes across Istanbul — on your schedule.

Some days in Istanbul demand more than a single point-to-point transfer. Surfin Travel's hourly private chauffeur service places a dedicated vehicle and professional chauffeur at your disposal for the duration you choose.

Your chauffeur and vehicle remain on your schedule — whether for a morning of meetings, an afternoon of shopping or a full day of city exploration.

About Our Hourly Chauffeur Service

With hourly chauffeur service, your vehicle remains with you for the agreed period. Your chauffeur follows your programme — waiting during appointments, adjusting routes as needed and ensuring you move through the city with efficiency and comfort.

  • Flexible hourly booking from four hours upwards
  • Vehicle and chauffeur on standby throughout your programme
  • Route adjustments during the service period
  • Ideal for business, shopping and multi-stop itineraries

  • Corporate executives with back-to-back meetings
  • Shoppers visiting Nişantaşı, Istinye Park and luxury districts
  • Families who want flexible sightseeing without fixed routes
  • Diplomatic and VIP visitors requiring standby transport

  • Restaurant transfers and evening engagements
  • Flexible city sightseeing with photo stops
  • Airport pickup followed by city appointments

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum booking duration?

Our hourly chauffeur service is typically booked for a minimum of four hours. For shorter requirements, a point-to-point transfer may be more suitable — our team can advise.

Can I extend the service on the day?

Extensions are subject to chauffeur and vehicle availability. We recommend booking your expected duration in advance, with the option to extend via WhatsApp if your programme runs longer.

Does the chauffeur wait during my appointments?

Yes. Waiting time during meetings, shopping and dining is included in your hourly booking. Your chauffeur and vehicle remain on standby throughout the service period.

Can I combine hourly service with an airport transfer?

Yes. Many guests book an airport arrival transfer followed by hourly chauffeur service for the rest of the day. Our operations team can structure this as a single coordinated booking.
