The Fleet
Four classes. One standard.
Every class is chauffeured and priced from the published card. The descriptions below lead with confirmation of seats and bags, because that is what actually decides which one your trip needs. Class illustrations will appear on this page; confirm the assigned configuration in writing.
Executive Sedan
$120 an hour · confirm assigned seats and bags
The default for business travel and the lowest published hourly display for a full day. Quiet cabin, composed ride, and a chauffeur who treats the space as your rolling office. Planning figures are about three passengers and about three bags; confirm the assigned vehicle before you treat those as a guarantee. A fourth passenger or a set of golf clubs usually moves the trip into the SUV class, subject to confirmation. Six hours of reserved sedan time is estimated at $710, not $120 multiplied by six, for a day of meetings with the vehicle staged between stops.
Consider for
- , Solo travellers and pairs
- , JAX transfers with ordinary luggage, once the load is confirmed
- , Downtown and Southside meeting circuits
- , Discreet point-to-point movement
Premium SUV
$150 an hour · confirm assigned seats, bags, and devices
The workhorse of Northeast Florida when the assigned vehicle can take the load. This region generates golf travel with club bags, coastal trips where people pack for a week, cruise transfers with heavy cases, and medical travel with companions and folding walkers. Ask for written confirmation that the SUV holds passengers, bags, clubs, child seats, and any folding device. The three-hour hourly estimates are $360 sedan and $440 SUV, an $80 gap, not $150 multiplied by three. Child seats and accessibility need the assigned configuration, not an automatic SUV promise.
Consider for
- , Families and small groups, once the assigned vehicle is confirmed
- , Golf clubs and resort luggage, subject to the written load check
- , Mayo Clinic trips with a companion and a folding device, when the confirmation allows it
- , Amelia Island, St. Augustine, and long regional runs
Mercedes S-Class
$230 an hour · presentation rather than extra cargo
This carries roughly what a sedan carries, so it is not a capacity choice. It is worth booking when the vehicle is going to be noticed: a wedding, a client pickup where a company is being represented, a milestone night, or corporate hospitality where the guest is meant to feel hosted. Where nobody will see the car, the sedan or the SUV is usually the better spend and the quote will say so. A three-hour S-Class hourly estimate is $690. Confirm seats and bags on the assigned car the same way you would for any sedan.
Consider for
- , Weddings, where the car is in the photographs
- , Collecting a client, an investor, or a senior visitor
- , Anniversaries and milestone evenings
- , Executive arrivals at Signature Flight Support
Mercedes Sprinter
$240 an hour · group van · confirm assigned seats and bags
A Sprinter keeps a group on one schedule when the assigned van holds the people and the bags. Planning figures are about twelve passengers and about twelve bags; confirm the assigned seats and storage rather than promising fourteen. Request a written configuration for the real head count, cases, and clubs. A three-hour Sprinter hourly estimate is $710, not $240 multiplied by three; four hours is $940 and six hours is $1,410. Those totals include gratuity and applicable service and card charges. Its constraint is supply rather than a per-person bargain: group vans in Northeast Florida book out on spring weekends, wedding dates, prom season, and tournament week.
Consider for
- , Wedding parties, proms, and group evenings, when the confirmation seats the party together
- , Corporate teams and convention arrivals
- , Golf outings where clubs and players travel together, subject to the load check
- , Family cruise transfers to the Jaxport terminal
Four classes, and why the choice matters more than the badge
Vehicle class in Jacksonville is a capacity decision rather than a luxury tier. It determines whether four sets of golf clubs fit, whether cruise luggage becomes a puzzle, whether a patient and a companion travel comfortably, and whether a group stays together, once the assigned vehicle is confirmed.
Most disappointing car service experiences are sizing failures rather than service failures. The car arrives, it is clean, the chauffeur is professional, and it cannot take the load, which is a problem that has no solution on a driveway at 6 a.m. That is why the descriptions above lead with confirmation of seats and bags instead of adjectives about the cabin.
The two numbers worth internalising are the gaps. Between the sedan and the SUV the hourly displays differ by $30, and the three-hour complete-duration estimates are $360 and $440, an $80 gap, not $150 multiplied by three. Between the S-Class and the Sprinter the hourly displays differ by $10 for completely different capabilities, so that choice is about the trip rather than the budget.
What is not variable is the standard applied to the chauffeur. Every class is driven by a professional operating a commercial vehicle, and the published pricing floor exists partly to sustain that. A rate that cannot pay for a professional produces whoever is available, and the gap shows up on the day it matters most.
If you are unsure which class you need, describe the real load in the quote request, actual head count, actual bag count, whether anyone has a mobility device, whether there are clubs. The recommendation that comes back will be specific, and it costs nothing to have that conversation before dispatch rather than after.
What each class costs in whole numbers
Sedan $120 an hour, premium SUV $150, Mercedes S-Class $230, Mercedes Sprinter $240, with a three-hour minimum on every hourly reservation.
Because a three-hour minimum applies to reserved hourly time, the useful figures are complete-duration estimates, calculated independently of the rounded hourly display. Three hours is $360 in an executive sedan, $440 in a premium SUV, $690 in a Mercedes S-Class, and $710 in a Mercedes Sprinter. Four hours is $480, $580, $930, and $940. Six hours, a full business day or a wedding evening, is $710, $870, $1,390, and $1,410. Those totals include gratuity and applicable service and card charges.
A one-way airport transfer is quoted for the exact itinerary. Do not treat a three-hour hourly block as a JAX fare, whether the destination is Downtown or the Beaches. Longer runs to Amelia Island or St. Augustine, and any trip with waiting, are written as whole itineraries before you approve them.
For groups, ask for the assigned van and the written total rather than dividing a rounded hourly rate into a per-person saving. A Sprinter keeps one schedule when the confirmation seats the party together; it is not a guarantee that the group is cheaper than several cars.
Confirm extras on the written quote: the airport access fee where a trip touches JAX, parking where the vehicle has to be held rather than staged, and any published venue or event fee. Do not add a second gratuity unless the quote says to. Jacksonville is effectively toll-free, so local routes usually carry no toll pass-throughs.
The luggage arithmetic, done properly
This is the section that prevents the most problems, so it is worth being specific rather than reassuring.
An executive sedan is planned around about three passengers and about three bags. Three passengers with three large cases is already at the edge. One set of golf clubs in a travel cover eats a meaningful share of the boot. Four passengers is not a sedan regardless of the luggage. Confirm the assigned car.
Golf is the Jacksonville-specific complication, because this region draws travel to TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra Beach, the Amelia Island courses, and the World Golf Village area near St. Augustine. A foursome has four travel bags plus four club covers, and travel covers are bulky in a way suitcases are not. Ask whether one assigned SUV holds that load, or whether two SUVs or one Sprinter is the configuration that fits. Two three-hour SUV hourly estimates are $880 combined; a three-hour Sprinter estimate is $710. Those figures are hourly blocks, not a group-cheaper guarantee.
Cruise luggage is heavy per person, because people pack for a week or two and check large cases. A couple heading to the Jaxport terminal often needs an SUV; a family group often needs a Sprinter. Count the actual cases before requesting a quote rather than describing them, and assume slightly more capacity for the return than the outbound, since people acquire things. Confirm the assigned vehicle.
Child seats need the child's age because the seat type depends on it, and a seat occupies a passenger position. Confirm that requested seats will be in the assigned vehicle. Two seats plus two adults plus luggage usually needs an SUV rather than a sedan. Pets need naming. And on any long regional run, assume people have packed for the length of the trip rather than the length of the drive.
Accessibility, stated precisely
This needs to be exact, because the difference between what a standard fleet can and cannot do is significant and getting it wrong is a serious problem on the day.
Folding wheelchairs, walkers, rollators, canes, and portable oxygen concentrators may travel when the assigned vehicle can take them. The premium SUV at $150 an hour is often the class to request, but confirm the device and the configuration in writing. Tell dispatch specifically which device is coming, because "a wheelchair" covers a range of equipment with very different handling.
What this fleet does not have is a ramp or a lift. A passenger who cannot transfer out of a wheelchair into a vehicle seat needs a wheelchair-accessible vehicle, which is specialist equipment operated by accessible-transport specialists. A larger SUV is not a substitute for that, and any operator suggesting otherwise is not being straight with you.
Chauffeurs provide transportation and reasonable assistance with luggage and with a folding device. They are not medical personnel and do not provide patient handling, transfers, or clinical assistance of any kind. Where physical assistance is needed, it has to be arranged separately and in advance through appropriate providers.
Say what is needed when you request the quote. There is no awkwardness in that conversation at the quote stage and a great deal in discovering a mismatch at a kerb, particularly on a medical trip where the passenger is already having a difficult week.
What is not in this fleet
Being clear about the gaps is more useful than another paragraph about the four classes, and it saves you a phone call.
There are no stretch limousines and no party buses. For most occasions people book those for, weddings, proms, milestone evenings, group nights out, the Mercedes Sprinter does the job more comfortably, parks in places a stretch vehicle cannot, and is easier to get in and out of. The industry has moved this way generally rather than only here. But if a genuine stretch limousine is specifically what you want, a local limousine specialist is the right call and we would rather say so than sell you something else.
There are no coaches or full-size buses, so a group that will not fit the assigned Sprinter is handled as multiple vehicles quoted as a set rather than one large one. State the real head count at the quote stage, because a group that grows after the confirmation is a second reservation on a date that may no longer have one available.
There is no wheelchair-accessible vehicle with a ramp or lift, as set out above. And there is no shared-ride or per-seat product; everything here is priced per vehicle.
Class illustrations will appear on this site. Confirm the assigned vehicle and configuration in writing. Vehicle years, model years, and unit counts are not published, because those would be claims rather than verified facts.
Which class the common trips need
The fastest way to choose is to look at the trip rather than the vehicle, so here are the bookings that come up most often in this market with the recommendation attached.
A solo JAX transfer to Downtown with a carry-on is quoted as a one-way itinerary, not as an automatic three-hour hourly fare. Two people to a Ponte Vedra resort with two cases each usually need a premium SUV, because four cases plus two passengers is beyond a sedan; confirm the assigned vehicle. Four golfers with clubs often need two SUVs or one Sprinter; ask for both configurations in writing rather than assuming the van is cheaper.
For a Mayo Clinic visit, include the companion, luggage, device dimensions, both drives, and expected waiting. A three-hour SUV hourly estimate is $440 only if the whole itinerary fits that window and the assigned vehicle fits the load. Confirm extensions; airport and cruise transfers need their own exact quotes.
A Downtown business day with four appointments is a six-hour sedan hourly block at $710, which is a different structure from four separate hourly reservations each hitting the three-hour minimum. An evening out for twelve is often a four-hour Sprinter block at $940; request the written total rather than a per-person saving.
A wedding is the S-Class for the couple and the Sprinter for the party, quoted as one itinerary, the most common luxury reservation in this market. And a client pickup at Signature Flight Support where you are representing the company is the S-Class; the same pickup where nobody is watching is the sedan or the SUV depending on the bags.
Not sure which class?
Send the real passenger count, the counted bags, and anything unusual: clubs, a child seat with the age, a walker. The recommendation comes back specific, and the rate card is published either way.
Common questions
What vehicles do you operate?
Four classes: an executive sedan at $120 an hour, a premium SUV at $150, a Mercedes S-Class at $230, and a Mercedes Sprinter at $240 an hour. Confirm assigned seats and bags; planning figures are not a guarantee of a specific unit. Three-hour minimum on every hourly reservation, with complete-duration estimates of $360, $440, $690, and $710.
How many bags fit in the sedan?
About three, alongside up to three passengers, as planning figures only. Confirm the assigned sedan. Three passengers with three large cases is already at the edge, and one set of golf clubs in a travel cover takes a meaningful share of the boot. Above that, request a premium SUV and wait for written confirmation.
Is the SUV worth the extra $30 an hour?
Often, when the load needs the space. Across a three-hour hourly reservation the complete-duration estimates are $360 sedan and $440 SUV, an $80 gap, not $150 multiplied by three. Confirm the assigned SUV for passengers, golf clubs, cruise luggage, mobility equipment, car seats, and long coastal runs. The downside of guessing wrong the other way is a vehicle that arrives and cannot leave.
How many people fit in the Sprinter?
Confirm the assigned van. Planning figures are about twelve passengers and about twelve bags, with standing headroom in many configurations, but that is not a seat-and-bag guarantee. A three-hour Sprinter hourly estimate is $710, not $240 multiplied by three. Request the written configuration for the real head count rather than a per-person saving.
Do you have stretch limousines or party buses?
No. For most occasions people book those for, the Sprinter is more comfortable, parks where a stretch vehicle cannot, and is easier to get in and out of. If a genuine stretch limousine is specifically what you want, a local limousine specialist is the right call rather than this operation.
Can you carry a wheelchair?
A folding wheelchair, walker, rollator, or portable oxygen concentrator may travel when the assigned vehicle can take it; tell dispatch which device specifically. There is no ramp or lift in this fleet, so a passenger who cannot transfer out of a wheelchair into a vehicle seat needs an accessible-transport specialist instead.
Can four golfers with clubs fit in one vehicle?
Frequently not in one SUV. Four travel bags plus four club covers usually means asking whether two premium SUVs or one Mercedes Sprinter is the assigned configuration that fits. Two three-hour SUV hourly estimates are $880; a three-hour Sprinter estimate is $710. Those are hourly blocks, not a cheaper-group guarantee. State the exact load and ask for written confirmation that it fits.
Can I request a specific make or model?
You can request a class and it will be honoured: sedan, premium SUV, Mercedes S-Class, or Mercedes Sprinter. Class illustrations will appear on this site. Confirm the assigned vehicle in writing. Specific model years and unit counts are not published.
Do you provide child seats?
Yes, with advance notice, and the reservation needs each child's age because the seat type depends on it. Confirm that requested seats will be in the assigned vehicle. A seat also occupies a passenger position, so two seats plus two adults plus luggage usually needs a premium SUV rather than a sedan.
