Why book a private driver with RidePickup

When your day has more than one stop, an on-demand app means a new car and a new driver each time. A private driver stays with you — so your plans, your bags, and your pace are all handled by one familiar professional.

Same driver all day

One driver and one vehicle stay with you for the whole booking. No re-hailing between stops, and your belongings stay safely in the car.

Flexible itinerary

Add stops, linger longer, or change the plan as you go. Your driver waits and adapts to however your day unfolds.

Chinese-speaking

Your driver speaks Mandarin, Cantonese, or English — ideal for visiting family, business guests, or anyone who values easy communication.

Fixed price, no meter

We confirm a fixed price for your hours or full day up front. No meter ticking while you stop, shop, or dine — and no surprises.

Private driver FAQ

Quick answers for common questions. The full FAQ is on the homepage.

Is there a minimum booking length?
Private drivers are typically booked for a block of hours or a full day. A short minimum keeps it worthwhile for both you and your driver — tell us how long you’ll need and we’ll confirm the fixed price that fits your plan.
Can I add multiple stops and have the driver wait?
Yes. That’s the whole point of a private driver. Add as many stops as you like, and your driver waits while you shop, dine, or attend meetings — all within your booked time, at the price agreed up front.
Can we take a day trip outside Los Angeles?
Absolutely. Popular day trips include Palm Springs, Santa Barbara, and Disneyland. Just tell us your destination when you book and we’ll confirm a fixed price that covers the round trip and your driver’s time.
What vehicle options are available?
We arrange a comfortable sedan for smaller groups, or a larger SUV or van when you have more passengers or luggage. Let us know your group size and any special needs, such as child seats, and we’ll match the right vehicle.
How does pricing work?
We confirm a fixed price up front based on your hours, itinerary, and vehicle — not a running meter. The price you agree is the price you pay for the trip as described, so you can relax and enjoy the day.
How far in advance should I book?
Booking 2-3 days ahead gives the most flexibility, especially for full days and day trips. Shorter notice often works too — reach out and we’ll do our best to arrange a driver for your date.
