Chinese New Year
Chinese New Year is the one period where a chauffeur is less about luxury and more about logistics. Reunion dinner puts an entire extended family on the road at the same hour, and the visiting days that follow involve four or five households in an afternoon, each with a different set of passengers and a boot full of hampers.

What transport is actually like
Reunion dinner evening and the first two days of the new year are the hardest hours of the year to get a car at short notice — driver availability drops at precisely the moment demand peaks, because drivers have their own reunion dinners. Public holiday and late-night surcharges apply across the period. Visiting-day routes tend to be short hops with long waits between them, which is the worst possible shape for a metered fare.
How to plan it
Hourly disposal is the right shape for both reunion dinner and visiting days: the car waits with you rather than being re-summoned at every house, and one fixed figure covers the whole block. Book the reunion dinner slot several weeks out — it is the single most requested evening of the season. If relatives are flying in, put their flight numbers on the arrival bookings so late landings do not unravel the day's plan.

Common questions
- Can one booking cover a full afternoon of visiting several homes?
- Yes — that is what hourly disposal is for. The vehicle and chauffeur stay with you for the block you book, waiting at each stop rather than being released and re-hailed. You can adjust the order of the stops on the day.
