Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a Mercedes S-Class car service cost?

Mercedes S-Class chauffeur service starts at $150 per hour with a 2-hour minimum. Airport transfers are available at flat rates. Corporate clients receive NET 30 invoicing with detailed trip reporting.

What makes the S-Class different from an executive sedan?

The S-Class is a flagship first class sedan — a tier above executive sedans like the E-Class. Key differences: extended wheelbase for 5+ inches of additional rear legroom, executive rear seating with massage and ventilation, Burmester 4D surround sound (30 speakers), AIRMATIC air suspension, and 64-color ambient lighting. It's the difference between business class and first class.

Which S-Class model does Detailed Drivers use?

We operate the Mercedes-Benz S 580 4MATIC in long wheelbase configuration — the top-of-line model with a 4.0L V8 Biturbo producing 496 horsepower, the executive rear seat package, Burmester surround sound, and the full driver assistance suite.

Can I book an S-Class for a full day?

Yes. Full-day S-Class hire is available starting at $150/hr with customizable durations. A typical full-day booking (8–10 hours) is ideal for corporate roadshows, investor meetings, or VIP itineraries.

Is the S-Class available for airport transfers?

Absolutely. The S-Class is our most requested vehicle for luxury airport transfers — particularly for private aviation (FBO pickups at Teterboro, Van Nuys, etc.) and international arrivals at JFK, LAX, SFO, and MIA. Flight monitoring and meet-and-greet included.

Where is S-Class service available?

S-Class chauffeur service is available in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Chicago, San Francisco, Dallas, Houston, Washington DC, Boston, and other major US cities. International S-Class service available through our vetted affiliate network.
