The service

A private driver in NYC, arranged properly

New York rewards people who move through it with intention. A private chauffeur takes the logistics off your hands: the car is where it should be, the route has been thought through, and the person behind the wheel understands that a hotel on Central Park South and a gallery on a one-way Chelsea street call for different approaches at the curb.

Our luxury chauffeur service in New York is built on two simple formats. Point-to-point covers a defined journey — a hotel to a dinner reservation, an office to a meeting in Hudson Yards, a residence to an airport. As-directed keeps a chauffeur and vehicle with you for a block of time, ready to move whenever you are.

From request to arrival

How it works

  1. Share your plans. Use the request form with your date, pickup, destination or rough itinerary, party size and luggage.
  2. Receive a quote. We reply with a written quote covering the vehicle class, timing and anything you have asked for, such as a child seat or a specific pickup arrangement.
  3. Confirm. Once you accept, the details are fixed. Chauffeur and vehicle information is shared ahead of the journey.
  4. Travel. Your chauffeur arrives with time to spare, handles luggage and follows the plan — adjusting the route around traffic, closures and events as needed.

Anything that depends on third parties — a restaurant booking, a theater curtain, a building’s loading rules — is treated as part of your plan, and the schedule is built around it. If timing is tight, we will say so honestly in the quote rather than promise what Midtown traffic will not allow.

The fleet

Choosing a vehicle class

Each class is chosen for a particular kind of journey. Passenger and luggage guidance is typical; the specific vehicle assigned is confirmed in your quote.

  • [Executive Sedan](/fleet/executive-sedan) — understated and efficient for one to three guests with modest luggage; ideal for meetings and dinners.
  • [Premium Luxury Sedan](/fleet/premium-sedan) — a quieter, more spacious rear cabin for occasions and guests who value comfort above all.
  • [Luxury SUV](/fleet/luxury-suv) — room for families, more luggage and winter weather; a frequent choice for airport arrivals.
  • [Executive Sprinter](/fleet/executive-sprinter) — keeps larger groups together, from wedding parties to visiting delegations.

Not sure which to choose? Tell us how many people are traveling and what they are carrying, and we will recommend a class. You can compare them all on the fleet page.

A better quote

What to include in your request

The more we know, the more precisely we can plan. A useful request usually includes:

  • Date, preferred pickup time and the full pickup address — including the building entrance if there is more than one.
  • Destination, or a rough outline of stops if you prefer to keep the chauffeur as-directed.
  • Number of passengers and an honest count of suitcases, garment bags, strollers or golf bags.
  • Flight details for airport journeys, or tail number and FBO for private aviation.
  • Any requests — child seats, a preferred vehicle class, a quiet ride for calls — which we confirm in the quote.
  • Billing contact, if an assistant or company is arranging on someone’s behalf.

FAQ

Questions, Answered

What is the difference between point-to-point and hourly chauffeur service?

Point-to-point covers one defined journey. Hourly, or as-directed, keeps the chauffeur and vehicle with you for a block of time so you can make several stops; any minimum booking time is confirmed in your quote.

Can I request a specific vehicle?

You can request a vehicle class — Executive Sedan, Premium Luxury Sedan, Luxury SUV or Executive Sprinter. The specific vehicle is confirmed in your quote.

Are tolls and the congestion charge included?

Tolls, including the Manhattan congestion relief zone charge where it applies, are addressed in your quote so there are no surprises.

How far in advance should I book?

As early as your plans allow, particularly around holidays, major events and fashion weeks. Shorter-notice requests are considered based on availability.

Do you travel outside Manhattan?

Yes. Journeys to Brooklyn, Long Island, the Hamptons and beyond can be quoted on request.
