How Much Is a Chauffeur Service? Understanding the Cost and Value
CHAUFFEUR
Do Chauffeurs Wait During Appointments or Events?
If you're booking a chauffeur for an important meeting, medical appointment, client event, or evening function, it's natural to ask: Will the chauffeur wait during my appointment? The answer is yes — Evoke offers flexible waiting options to ensure your journey is seamless from start to finish.
Unlike rideshare services or taxis that require on-demand rebooking, Evoke’s professional chauffeurs stay nearby and ready, so you're never left waiting or rushing to coordinate transport. Whether you're gone for 20 minutes or several hours, our service adapts to your schedule.
Yes — We Wait So You Don’t Have To
Evoke offers two main booking types that include waiting time:
- Hourly bookings: Ideal for appointments with uncertain durations, shopping, client visits, or photo sessions. Your chauffeur remains available throughout the reserved time.
- Return transfer with waiting time: A common option for medical or legal appointments. Your chauffeur will drop you off, remain nearby, and return to collect you at a pre-agreed time, or when you text or call.
Both options prioritise convenience, discretion, and punctuality.
Common Use Cases for Waiting Services
Our clients frequently request waiting time for:
- Specialist appointments or hospital visits
- Corporate meetings or interviews
- Court appearances or legal appointments
- Photoshoots or fitting sessions
- Weddings, galas, or red carpet arrivals
- VIP or high-security clients requiring standby transport
In all cases, Evoke chauffeurs are experienced in adapting to unpredictable timings and know how to wait discreetly without intruding.
What Happens While Your Chauffeur Waits?
Depending on the venue, chauffeurs either:
- Wait in a designated holding area
- Park nearby and monitor your status
- Remain within proximity to return within minutes when called
Your chauffeur will keep your vehicle clean, climate-controlled, and ready for your return. For longer waits, they may check in occasionally by SMS, or be ready with updated timing.
Why Clients Prefer a Waiting Chauffeur
- Less stress: No pressure to rush back or rebook a ride.
- Privacy: No need to explain timing changes to a new driver.
- Efficiency: Continue your day without interruptions.
- Discretion: Our chauffeurs stay out of view unless needed.
Whether you're managing a tight schedule or an unpredictable timeline, our waiting service adds comfort and control.
