Limits
  • Hourly figures are operator-network planning ranges published by Artisan Chauffeur & Concierge, not tariffs or binding quotes. The emailed quote confirms the rate, minimum, wait policy, pass-through costs, and cancellation terms before service is arranged.
  • Pass-through costs (airport fees, tolls, parking, staging) are additional per the quote.

Published hourly ranges: New York City pricing source (artisan-chauffeur-pricing-2026).

§ 02HOW TO USE THE BAND

A planning band is a starting point, not a price.

Why group trips quote as hourly holds

A group move is rarely one pickup and one drop. The vehicle stages early, loads in waves, waits through the event, and repositions between legs — so operators price the block of hours the vehicle is held, not the miles driven. The estimator mirrors that: published hourly range × hours held × vehicle count.

What moves a band up

Event dates and peak weekends push quotes toward the top of the published range or past it. Staging time before the first pickup, multi-stop routing, and overtime past the held block all add hours to the math. Name the date and the full run of stops in the quote so the band that comes back is the real one.

What the tool does not do

This estimator is not a quote. It does not check vehicle availability, does not price event-date surcharges, and does not bind a rate. The emailed quote confirms the hourly rate, the minimum, pass-through costs, and whether the vehicle plan holds for your date.

Next step

Use the tool output as planning context, then send the itinerary to the concierge team. The quote confirms availability, vehicle class, operator terms, pass-through costs, and the exact plan in writing before confirmation.
