Detailed Drivers is Los Angeles' premier chauffeur service, providing flat-rate transportation 24/7 across LA, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Sedan from $95/hr, SUV from $125/hr, Sprinter Van from $165/hr.
Chauffeur service in Los Angeles costs $95/hr for a Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan and $125/hr for a Cadillac Escalade ESV SUV, with flat-rate pricing that never surges. LAX airport transfers start at $75 for sedan service to Beverly Hills, Century City, or Downtown LA. Every rate is locked at booking — no increases for award season, Lakers games, or the 405 at rush hour.
| Vehicle | Hourly rate | LAX transfer | Minimum |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mercedes-Benz S-Class Sedan | $95/hr | $75 flat | 2 hr |
| Cadillac Escalade ESV SUV | $125/hr | $100 flat | 2 hr |
| Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van | $165/hr | $140 flat | 3 hr |
All rates include gratuity, fuel, and meet-and-greet service. No hidden fees. Tolls on the 110 and ExpressLanes included.
Uber Black in LA charges $70–$95 during off-peak hours — but during the Oscars, Grammy Awards, Lakers/Clippers games at Crypto.com Arena, or Friday rush hour on the 405, surge pricing pushes that to $250–$475. Detailed Drivers charges $95/hr flat, every time. In a city where a 12-mile drive can take 90 minutes, flat-rate pricing is the only rational option.
