Why HamiltonLimo.net
What separates a private chauffeur from a ride with a stranger
The standard our chauffeurs work to is on the chauffeurs page; what each transfer costs, and why, is on the rates page; when an hourly booking beats a one-way trip is in this guide.
01
A private chauffeur, by the hour
Book the car and chauffeur for three hours or a whole day: the meeting in Burlington, lunch on Locke Street, a tasting on the Beamsville Bench, the flight home. One car waits; you never queue for another.
02
A fixed fare, booked direct
The engine prices the exact address, date and vehicle before you confirm - tolls, airport fees and gratuity included. No surge, no meter on the QEW, and no aggregator taking a cut.
03
Flights and trains, tracked
YHM, Pearson and Billy Bishop flights are tracked from take-off; Union Station, Aldershot and Niagara Falls trains from departure. Thirty minutes free on Canadian and US flights, sixty on other international arrivals.
04
Chauffeurs who know the escarpment
Licensed for passengers for hire, screened and suited; routes chosen on live traffic across the QEW, 403, the Linc, the Red Hill, 407 and 401, the mountain accesses in winter and the Skyway on a windy day.
05
Airports, stations, jets and the border
Hamilton, Pearson, Billy Bishop, Buffalo, Niagara Falls NY, Waterloo and London; Union Station and the GO and VIA stations; private aviation; and visitors crossing from the USA at the Peace Bridge or Lewiston-Queenston.
06
A desk that answers
Dispatch staffed around the clock by phone, chat and WhatsApp; a coordinator for weddings, proms, party buses, delegations and corporate accounts.

The standard behind the standard

Stretch limousines, party buses, coaches and chauffeurs beyond the Golden Horseshoe are fulfilled through directory-vetted operators contracted to our published standard, so a Hamilton pickup and a pickup in New York or Chicago are handled the same way on one account.

Association membership commits us and every affiliate to written standards on licensing, commercial passenger insurance, vehicle age and inspection, chauffeur screening and conduct - the parts of a ride a passenger cannot check from the back seat.
