How much is a chauffeured sedan per hour in the Bay Area?
A chauffeured sedan in the Bay Area costs $85.00/hour to $375.00/hour on EIM, across the 5 sedan listings in this guide that seat 1–4 guests. The two Lincolns are the low end and the Maybach the top. Across the 8 hourly-priced Bay Area sedan and SUV listings in this guide, checked on EIM on September 25, 2026, the median rate is $130.00/hour. More options are listed under car services in San Francisco.
What is the minimum booking for an executive car service?
The minimum booking for these Bay Area executive cars is 4 hours for six of the eight listings and 6 hours for the two San Bruno listings. For short trips the minimum matters more than the rate. To fit the car into the full budget, see our San Francisco corporate event cost guide.
Example estimates before tax, fees and gratuity, at each listing's minimum:
- Lincoln MKT town car: $105.00/hour x 4 hours = $420.
- San Bruno Lincoln Continental sedan: $85.00/hour x 6 hours = $510.
- Cadillac Escalade ESV: $130.00/hour x 4 hours = $520.
- San Jose sedan and SUV service: $130.00/hour x 4 hours = $520.
- San Bruno six-passenger SUV: $95.00/hour x 6 hours = $570.
- BMW 740i: $180.00/hour x 4 hours = $720.
- Mercedes S500: $190.00/hour x 4 hours = $760.
- Mercedes-Benz Maybach: $375.00/hour x 4 hours = $1,500.
For a full 8-hour day the order flips: the San Bruno sedan comes to $85.00/hour x 8 hours = $680, and the Lincoln MKT to $105.00/hour x 8 hours = $840.
Sedan or SUV for executives?
For Bay Area executive car service, choose a sedan for one or two executives with carry-ons and an SUV for three or more people or checked bags. The sedans list 1–4 guests, but a fourth passenger usually rides up front, so book an SUV if four adults need the back seats. The three SUV-capable listings (the San Bruno six-passenger SUV, the San Jose service and the Escalade ESV) list 1–6 guests.

Can one event car service booking cover the airport and the event?
Yes, one hourly booking with a Bay Area executive car service can cover an SFO, SJC or OAK pickup and the event after it, as long as the whole itinerary fits inside your booked hours. List each stop and the flight number in your request.
Is gratuity included in the price?
Gratuity is not shown in the hourly price fields of the 8 Bay Area executive car listings in this guide, so ask each vendor for an all-in quote that includes gratuity, tax and fees.
How we chose
We started from 9 hourly-priced chauffeured sedan and SUV listings on EIM that seat 6 or fewer and travel to you. We used 8 and left out the Denali SUV, which matches the Escalade from the same South San Francisco host on price, seats and duration. We credit a feature only when that car's own listing states it.
Some South San Francisco descriptions quote a lower starting rate than the price field; we used the price field. Five of the eight cars (the Lincoln MKT, Escalade ESV, BMW 740i, S500 and Maybach) come from that one host.
Planning tips for executive car bookings
- Send flight numbers, not just times. The San Bruno sedan and SUV and the San Jose service list flight tracking.
- Write the model into the request and ask the vendor to confirm the exact car in writing.
- For a day with several stops, ask for multi-stop route planning. Six of the eight listings name it: both San Bruno cars, the San Jose service, the Lincoln MKT, the BMW 740i and the Maybach.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which executive car service covers San Jose and the South Bay?
The San Jose sedan and SUV service at $130.00/hour, with Arabic, English and Spanish-speaking chauffeurs, travels across the South Bay and to Wine Country. It lists 1–6 guests and a 4-hour minimum, and its listing names flight tracking for SJC arrivals.
Are the chauffeurs background checked and in formal dress?
The San Jose sedan and SUV listing states background checks, DOT compliance and FMCSA registration; ask the other vendors about driver screening. A formal attire standard for drivers appears on six of the eight listings: both San Bruno cars, the San Jose service, the BMW 740i, the Maybach and the Lincoln MKT.
Can we set up a corporate account for repeat executive car bookings?
Three listings in this guide list corporate account discounts: the San Bruno chauffeured sedan, the San Bruno six-passenger SUV and the San Jose sedan and SUV service. Ask those vendors whether the discount applies to bookings made through EIM.
What does a Strict cancellation policy mean for these cars?
All 8 listings show a Strict cancellation policy. On the Mercedes S500 and Cadillac Escalade ESV listings, the window reads up to 30 days before. Check the window on any other listing before you request a date that might move.
How far ahead should we book a chauffeured car for a client event?
As general advice, book two to four weeks ahead for a weekday and earlier for a Friday or Saturday evening, when wedding and prom demand is typically highest. Every listing here is request to book, so the vendor confirms your date before it is final.
