A car and a chauffeur, at your disposal.

It exists for the days when a series of journeys is more efficient as one. Four meetings across Brera, Porta Nuova and the actual outskirts of Milan are not four transfers; they are one car that waits. A roadshow with an investor at every hour is the same shape, with less time to spare.

It also removes a specific kind of friction that only shows up in practice: the car is there when the meeting ends, so nobody in the room is watching the clock. When an appointment overruns by twenty minutes, the person waiting for you is not on a meter.

The rate covers the chauffeur and the vehicle. Fuel, tolls and Area C access are included; waiting is the point of the service, not an extra.

The alternative is adding up separate transfers, and the arithmetic does not hold: every journey has a pickup, a wait and a full price, while one car that stays with you removes the dead time and the empty runs between one address and the next.

There is also an advantage you will not see on an invoice: flexibility. If a meeting is cancelled or another is added, the schedule is rewritten live, without booking and cancelling a journey each time.

• Roadshows and investor days with a fixed vehicle for the whole day
• Business visits to Fiera Milano, San Raffaele, Humanitas and the IEO
• Personal shopping at the Quadrilatero della Moda or Serravalle, with the parcels in the boot
• Half-day and full-day tours of Milan and the lake district

The minimum booking is three hours, and additional time is charged in half-hour steps. The clock starts at the agreed pickup time and runs until the car is released, including waiting. If a day runs long we extend it, subject to the chauffeur's legal driving limits — which we will always tell you about before they become a problem.

The hours are not counted in hidden steps: the hourly quote you receive is what you pay, and the stops, the waits and the empty runs between two addresses are inside the time you booked. There is no meter running while you are in a meeting.

For assignments over several days the same chauffeur and the same vehicle stay with you from start to finish: by the second morning they already know the addresses, no longer ask for the same information, and the day starts earlier, with no briefing.

A day at your disposal is for when the destinations are not known in advance, or there are too many to book one by one. A roadshow that moves from office to office, a series of client visits scattered across the city, a site inspection between a building site and an office: the car is there, and you set the order.

It is also the right shape for the free time of someone visiting Milan for work. An afternoon between the Quadrilatero della Moda and Brera, a dinner outside the city, a drive to the lakes without depending on a timetable: the chauffeur waits, and the evening does not end when the journey does.

For a medical appointment or a course of treatment, a car at your disposal removes the problem of times that change: the chauffeur waits outside, you leave when you are ready, and there is no parking space or taxi to hunt for on the way out. It is a discreet service, designed for anyone who does not want to think about logistics.

At work the value is the time given back: between one meeting and the next the cabin becomes a quiet office, with charging points and room to work on a laptop. The hours between two appointments stop being lost time and become useful time.

For groups travelling together — a delegation, a team, a family on a visit — the car at your disposal keeps everyone in one vehicle, with a single chauffeur and a single meeting point. Nobody is left behind and nobody has to coordinate two cars in two different parts of the city.

Over several days the hourly day combines with airport transfers: fixed-price arrival and departure, hourly in between. We quote the whole sequence in one reply, with the same chauffeur wherever the schedule allows.

The rule is simple: if you know the two ends of the journey and it is a single one, the fixed price wins; if the day is a sequence of addresses, the hourly service does. Two point-to-point journeys in a day are usually quoted better at a fixed price, and we tell you so before you confirm.

The hourly service has no price per journey: it has a price per time, and everything that happens in that time is inside it — waits, stops, detours between one address and the next. It is the difference between paying for the kilometres and paying for the availability.

When the schedule is uncertain, the hours are the safer choice: if a meeting runs long there is no journey to chase and no new quote to request, and if it runs short the time is not lost waiting outside an office.

For those who travel for work and know their recurring journeys, the fixed price remains the most predictable shape for the expense claim: a figure agreed beforehand, always the same, without the risk of an hourly count that depends on how long a meeting lasts.

If you are unsure which of the two suits your case, there is no need to guess: describe the day — the addresses, the times, how many people — and we will tell you which costs less, with the same frankness with which we say when the hotel shuttle is enough.

One detail that escapes anyone comparing rates alone: in the hourly service, waiting is not an extra, it is the reason the service exists. A car waiting outside while you are in an interview does not bill you the minutes as a new journey, because the minute of waiting is already inside the hour you booked.

When the day runs beyond the hours planned there is no new booking to make: the actual time is added, in half-hour steps, and the chauffeur stays with you to the end. No journey to reconfirm, no new quote to request while your attention is somewhere else.

The classes are chosen as for a transfer: a business sedan for two or three passengers, a van or minibus when the group grows or the luggage is heavy. The hourly price changes with the class, not with the route, because what you are buying is the chauffeur's and the vehicle's time.

For a quick estimate you need very little: the addresses in outline, the start and end time, how many people. With those three things we will tell you whether the day sits better hourly or at a fixed price, and give you an answer within ten minutes, as for any other request.

There is no minimum number of journeys to reach: whether the day has three addresses or ten, the hourly service is the same. Only the time you book changes, and you decide that based on the schedule you have in mind.
