As-Directed
Also known as: hourly, charter, AD
An as-directed booking reserves a vehicle and chauffeur for a block of time during which the passenger sets the itinerary, rather than booking a fixed route between two points.
Also called hourly or charter work. These bookings typically carry a minimum number of hours and are billed garage-to-garage.
