Point-to-point car service is the simplest kind of chauffeured ride: one pickup, one drop-off, one flat price agreed in advance. In Seattle it covers trips like Bellevue to Sea-Tac, a downtown hotel to a dinner in Kirkland, or home to the cruise terminal. Here’s why so many travelers book it instead of opening a rideshare app.
1. The ride is guaranteed
A rideshare match isn’t confirmed until a driver accepts, and drivers can cancel, especially for early-morning airport runs or busy event nights. A booked car service ride is assigned to a chauffeur ahead of time. Your chauffeur is assigned 24 hours before pickup and you get their name and phone number by text, and they arrive at least 15 minutes early.
2. You know the price before you go
Rideshare prices change with demand, so the same trip can cost far more on a rainy Friday or after a Seahawks game. Our point-to-point rides are quoted as a flat, all-inclusive rate, with gratuity included and no surge pricing. Rides start from $120.
3. A professional chauffeur, not a stranger in a personal car
Our chauffeurs wear black suits, know the region and drive professionally maintained, fully insured luxury vehicles. You’ll never get into a car with a cluttered back seat or a driver who’s relying on turn-by-turn directions for every move.
4. Flight tracking and wait time built in
For airport trips we track your flight, so a delay doesn’t leave you stranded or cost you a re-booking. Pickups include complimentary wait time: 30 minutes for domestic flights and 45 for international flights, counted from when the plane reaches the gate, and 15 minutes for most other pickups. After that, waiting is $1 per minute.
5. The right vehicle for the trip
Choose an executive or first-class sedan, an SUV for extra luggage, or a Sprinter van for up to 9 or up to 14 per van, with more vans for bigger groups. A rideshare app can’t promise space for five suitcases and a car seat, but we can.
6. One company accountable for your ride
When something changes, such as a new flight time, an extra stop or a different pickup address, you call one local company that knows your booking, 24 hours a day.

Point-to-point or hourly?
Book point-to-point for one trip from A to B. Book hourly when you have several stops and want the same chauffeur to wait between them, for a day of meetings, a night out or a wedding. The minimum booking is 2 hours for sedans, 3 hours for SUVs and 4 hours for Sprinter vans. Private driver by the hour
When does a rideshare make sense?
For a short, flexible hop around town, a rideshare is fine. For trips where timing, comfort or appearances matter, like catching a flight, meeting a client, a wedding or a night out with a group, a booked car service is worth it.
