The car turns up, the driver takes the bags, and the day stops being logistics.
Whether that Las Vegas price is per seat or per car. What a Hanoi limousine bus costs against the night train. How long an airport driver really waits when the flight slips. Reviews of the chauffeured tours and transfers you can actually book.
Four chauffeured days that explain what the money buys.
A nine-seat van in Vietnam, a stretch limo off a Las Vegas kerb, a Trabant in Berlin, a cellar run in Napa. What each costs, and how the price is quoted.
- 01The one everyone booksCu Chi Tunnels & Mekong Delta Tour with VIP Limousine TransferCu Chi and the Mekong in a reclining nine-seater, out of Ho Chi Minh City before the heat. Quoted per person, so two people are not paying for a whole car.
02Landing in Las VegasPrivate Las Vegas Airport to Hotel Luxury Limousine TransferKerbside pickup at Harry Reid, stretch limo to the Strip hotel, priced for the vehicle. Split six ways it undercuts two taxis.
03Berlin, of all placesPrivate Tour: Berlin by Trabant Stretch-LimousineThree Trabants welded into one stretch limousine, driven round the old East by somebody who lived there. Nothing else on this site looks like it.
04Napa without driving6-Hour Private Limousine Wine Country Tour of Napa or SonomaSix hours between cellars with a chauffeur, which is the only sensible way to taste anything at the third stop.
In Vietnam the limousine is a nine-seat van, and it goes everywhere.
Most of the chauffeured travel on this site is Vietnamese, and almost none of it is a stretch limo. Operators pulled half the seats out of a minibus, dropped in reclining armchairs, and now run Hanoi to Ninh Binh, Sapa and Halong for less than a taxi across London.

Six cities where hiring a limousine changes the whole day.
Hanoi runs reclining nine-seat vans up to the karst. Las Vegas runs stretch limos to a chapel. Cancun runs airport GMCs. The vehicles, the prices and the best-reviewed ride in each.
The airport transfer is the limousine trip most people book first.
It is also the one most often quoted for the whole car, so five people pay once. What decides it is the wait: how long the driver stays if the flight slips, and whether they come inside with a board and your name on it.

Half these limousine prices are for the car, not for your seat.
Half the prices here are for the whole car and half are per person, and the two are not comparable. Then there is the wait window at arrivals, the hourly minimum on a party booking, and whether the bottle in the armrest is included or just sitting there.
What a car and a driver actually costs, per head.
Every trip on the site carrying a per-person price, grouped by what it comes to. Cars quoted whole are left out of this ladder on purpose, because a limousine split five ways is a different sum.
Vietnamese limousine buses and vans, arrival shuttles and the short coast-road transfers.
Full days out of Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, and most single-city sightseeing runs.
Chauffeured cellar days, private tours in Oslo and on the Amalfi coast, and the stretch-limo nights.
America still does the stretch limousine properly.
Las Vegas has the chapels and the Strip run. New York has the airport transfer and the Christmas-lights loop. Los Angeles has a whole industry of four-hour custom tours with a bar down one side. Nearly all of it is quoted for the car.
Three things that only happen with somebody else at the wheel.
Airport pickups happen everywhere. A nine-seat sleeper van to Sapa, a Trabant welded into a stretch limousine, and a cellar run where nobody has to stay sober do not.
The Limousine Bus
Vietnamese operators took the sixteen-seat minibus, pulled out half the seats and put reclining armchairs in the space. The result is sold by the seat, runs to a timetable, collects you from your hotel and covers Hanoi to Sapa overnight. Nothing about it is a limousine except the legroom, and the name stuck anyway.

The Stretch Limousine
Cut a car in half, weld a middle section in, and you have the American stretch: a bar along one side, a mirrored ceiling, eight people facing each other. Las Vegas and New York keep it going for weddings and Strip runs. Berlin welds Trabants together instead, and Prague rents a vintage one out by the hour.

The Cellar Run
Wine country is a driving problem with a drinking answer. Napa and Sonoma operators sell six hours with a chauffeur and a cooler in the back, which is why the third tasting is the one people remember. Bordeaux does the same thing, sometimes in a vintage Citroen.

Four limousine bookings that will not wait.
A car can usually be found the same afternoon. These four cannot, because the vehicle is one of a handful in the city or the date belongs to somebody's wedding.
- 01Las Vegas Wedding at The Little Vegas Chapel including Limousine TransportationThe chapel books the limousine into the ceremony slot, and Saturday slots go months ahead.
- 02Private Tour: Berlin by Trabant Stretch-LimousineBerlin has a small number of Trabant stretch limousines and one operator running them.
- 031-Hour Vintage Limousine RentalPrague rents a single vintage car by the hour. Two bookings and the afternoon is gone.
- 042-Day Sapa Limo Bus Tour & Fansipan Peak VisitSleeper limousine buses to Sapa sell by the seat and fill in the week before a public holiday.
