Planning a Multi-Stop Business Day in Minneapolis with an Hourly Chauffeur

Executives, sales teams and visiting clients often need to cover several Minneapolis and suburban locations in one day. An hourly chauffeur removes parking, navigation and ride-hailing from that schedule. This guide shows how to plan the day so it runs on time.

Build a timed itinerary

Send the itinerary to dispatch at least a day ahead, in this format:

Time	Location	Notes
7:30 a.m.	Hotel, downtown Minneapolis	Pickup at main entrance
8:00–9:30 a.m.	Client office, Bloomington	Visitor entrance on the east side
10:15–11:30 a.m.	Site visit, Northeast Minneapolis	Hard hats provided on site
12:00–1:15 p.m.	Lunch, North Loop	Reservation under client name
2:00–3:30 p.m.	Office, downtown	Drop at Nicollet entrance
5:30 p.m.	MSP Airport, Terminal 1	Flight at 7:15 p.m.

Leave buffers between meetings

Meetings run long. Leave at least 15 minutes between the scheduled end of one meeting and the departure to the next. For moves between downtown and the suburbs during rush hour, leave 30 minutes.

Give entrance and skyway details

Downtown Minneapolis buildings are connected by an enclosed skyway system, and many have several street entrances. Tell your chauffeur which door you will use for each pickup. In winter, ask for pickups at a door close to your skyway exit.

Keep items in the vehicle

An hourly reservation means the vehicle stays with you. Luggage, samples and presentation materials can stay in the car between stops. For security, keep laptops and documents with you.

Plan the airport leg into the day

Ending the day at MSP saves a separate airport booking. Use the arrival targets in how early to leave for MSP to set the final departure time, and check your airline's terminal in the MSP terminal guide.

Billing and receipts

• Ask whether time is billed from the first pickup or from the garage.
• Confirm the overtime increment if the day runs past the reserved hours.
• Request an itemized receipt with the date, hours and stops for expense reports.

See hourly minimums, wait time and overtime explained for how these terms work.

Vehicle choice

A sedan suits one to three passengers. An SUV suits small teams with luggage or samples. For a visiting client, a town car in Minneapolis keeps the day formal and quiet.
