The Luxury SUV

Generous, high-riding and calm, the Luxury SUV is the most versatile vehicle in the fleet — the one we suggest most often for families, airport arrivals with real luggage, and long drives out of the city.

Typical capacity
Typically up to 6 guests (4–5 with full luggage)
Luggage guidance
Typically 4–5 large bags with 4 guests
Ideal for
  • Families
  • Airport arrivals with luggage
  • VIP and security-conscious guests
  • Hamptons and long-distance transfers

Capacity and luggage figures describe what is typical for this vehicle class. The exact vehicle assigned — and what it can comfortably carry — is confirmed in your written quote. Photography shown is representative of the class.

Who it suits

Vehicles in this class are full-size luxury SUVs with three rows of seating and a raised, commanding view of the road. They suit families arriving with a week’s luggage, small groups of colleagues, and guests who value extra space and privacy.

It is also the natural choice for longer journeys — to the Hamptons, the Hudson Valley or Washington, D.C. — where room to stretch out makes hours on the road feel shorter.

Seats versus luggage

The SUV’s capacity is a balance. With all three rows in use, it can typically seat up to six guests, but the cargo space behind the third row is limited. With the third row folded, there is room for a full set of airport luggage for four or five guests.

PartyTypical luggage fit
2–3 guestsGenerous — large suitcases, golf bags or strollers
4 guestsTypically 4–5 large bags plus carry-ons
5–6 guestsCarry-ons and a few smaller bags; consider a Sprinter for full luggage

Families and children

Infant, convertible and booster seats may be requested; availability and installation are confirmed in your quote. A stroller usually fits alongside luggage for smaller families. Our family travel page has more on traveling in New York with children.

In the city, an SUV’s height and space make it easy to load bags, shopping and strollers at a hotel door, though its size means pickups on narrow downtown streets are sometimes made from the nearest corner. Your chauffeur will confirm the spot by message.

How to choose between classes

If you are one or two guests with modest luggage, the Executive Sedan is often all you need. If you are three to five guests, have more than a couple of large suitcases, or are heading out of town for the weekend, the Luxury SUV is the comfortable default. Beyond six guests — or six with full luggage — an Executive Sprinter keeps the party together in one vehicle.
