Factors That Influence Chauffeur Service Costs
Type of Vehicle
The type of vehicle you select is one of the biggest factors affecting the cost of chauffeur services. For example, hiring a Rolls-Royce will be more expensive than booking a V-Class due to the prestige, comfort, and exclusivity of the Rolls-Royce.
Rolls-Royce: This iconic car represents the height of luxury and sophistication. Its sleek design and meticulous craftsmanship make it the perfect choice for weddings and special events. At Acorn, you can hire a Rolls-Royce for as little as £595 for half a day, or book it for a full day for £795.

Mercedes V-Class: If you're looking for versatility and luxury for larger groups, the V-Class is a top choice. Its sleek design, spacious interiors, and comfortable seating make it ideal for transporting families or small groups. Prices start at £399 for a half day and £550 for a full day.
Service Type
Different types of services have different price structures. The most common types of chauffeur services are:

Private NI Tours: Explore the beautiful sights of Northern Ireland in style. With half-day tours starting at £399 and full-day options available, you can enjoy a comfortable and luxurious experience as you tour iconic landmarks across the country.
Duration of Service
Another key factor in determining the cost is the duration of the service. Typically, you can book a chauffeur for half a day or a full day, or on a per-event basis. Half-day services are perfect for shorter events or airport transfers, while full-day bookings are ideal for weddings, private tours, or business engagements.
For example:
A half-day Rolls-Royce hire is £595, while a full-day is £795.
A half-day Range Rover hire starts at £399, while a full-day is £550.
Location and Distance
The distance you’re traveling also plays a role in the cost of chauffeur services. Services such as airport transfers from Belfast to Dublin, for example, start at £595 for a Rolls-Royce and £350 for a Range Rover. Longer distances, or locations further from Belfast, may incur additional charges.
Customisation and Special Requests
Acorn Chauffeur Services offers personalized experiences for clients. This includes bespoke routes, special event packages, and additional features like complimentary refreshments or custom decor for wedding cars. These additional services can add to the overall cost but enhance the experience for clients looking for something unique.
