The Ultimate Luxury is Freedom: "As Directed" Hourly Chauffeur Service in Paris

By the DBS EXPERIENCE Team

In the intricate ballet of Parisian life, time is the only currency that truly matters. For the visiting CEO, the fashion editor, or the discerning family, the rigidity of a simple "A to B" transfer is often insufficient. You do not need a ride; you need a partner who moves at your pace.

At DBS EXPERIENCE, we offer the By the Hour & Full Day Luxury Chauffeur Service, known in the industry as "As Directed." It is the quintessential service for those who demand total flexibility, absolute discretion, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your vehicle is waiting for you—always.

Since 2009, we have been the silent engine behind the city’s most critical itineraries. Here is why leading Executive Assistants and Travel Managers consider DBS EXPERIENCE the only logical choice for hourly services in Paris.

Why "Hire a Driver for a Day" Redefines Your Stay

The "As Directed" service transforms the city. The chaotic Parisian traffic becomes a non-issue; the stress of timing disappears. Your vehicle becomes a mobile sanctuary—a private extension of your suite at the Ritz or your office at La Défense.

• Flexibility: Your schedule changes? We adapt instantly. A meeting runs late, or a sudden desire to visit Versailles arises? Your chauffeur is at your command.
• Efficiency: While you are in a meeting or dining at L'Ambroisie, your chauffeur is not idle. He is monitoring traffic, cooling the cabin to your preferred temperature, and securing the optimal pick-up point for your exit.
• Security: In an uncertain world, keeping the same vetted driver and vehicle for the entire day ensures a controlled, secure environment for your belongings and your privacy.

User Cases: The DBS Difference in Action

To understand the value of our hourly service, one must see it in motion.

Case Study: The "Avenue Montaigne" Odyssey

The Client: A High-Net-Worth family from Hong-Kong staying at the Plaza Athénée.
The Mission: A full day of luxury shopping followed by a private tour of the Louvre.
The Challenge: Managing an increasing number of shopping bags while keeping the experience effortless.
The DBS EXPERIENCE Solution: Hired for 8 hours, the Mercedes S-Class chauffeur acted as a personal logistics manager. Every time the client exited a boutique (Dior, Chanel, Hermès), the chauffeur was curbside to load the purchases into the trunk securely. He then coordinated with the hotel concierge to have the bags dropped off in their suite while the clients enjoyed a hands-free lunch, before whisking them away to the museum.
The Outcome: Pure pleasure, zero logistics. The clients experienced Paris without the burden of carrying a single bag.
