Hourly reservations have a 3-hour minimum. Sedan and SUV hourly rates include gratuity and fees; do not add gratuity a second time. S-Class and Sprinter are starting rates; the booking form confirms your final price, which can vary with taxes, tolls and availability. Tolls, parking, airport access, waiting and special requests depend on the confirmed itinerary. Full-duration totals are calculated separately from rounded hourly displays. Point-to-point transfers receive a route quote; the hourly minimum is not an airport fare.

Hourly booking or a route quote?

There are two ways to price a trip, and choosing the right one saves money. A route quote covers a single movement from one place to another: JFK to a Midtown hotel, a Brooklyn apartment to Newark, an office in Stamford to Westchester County Airport. The quote is built for that itinerary and states the waiting and delay terms that come with it. Point-to-point route quotes start at $130 for a sedan and $160 for an SUV, and most airport runs come in above that because of distance, crossings and airport charges.

An hourly booking keeps the car and chauffeur with you for a block of time. It is the better fit when the day has several stops, when a meeting could run long, or when the car needs to wait while you do something and then take you on. The clock runs for the time booked, with a 3-hour minimum, and that time includes any waiting at the curb. The hourly charter page covers how that works in practice.

A simple test: if you would be happy to say goodbye to the car at the destination, ask for a route quote. If you need it to still be there afterwards, book hourly.

What sits outside the headline rate

The hourly figures are estimates for chauffeur time in a given class. Some costs depend on the itinerary rather than the clock, so they are confirmed on the written quote instead of being folded into a single number on this page:

  • Tolls. Hudson River tunnels and bridges, the RFK Bridge, the Verrazzano-Narrows and other crossings charge tolls that vary by route and direction.
  • Parking and airport access. Terminal garages and airport access charges depend on the airport and on whether you want a greeting inside or a curbside pickup.
  • Waiting and changes. Waiting beyond what the confirmation allows, or a change to the itinerary, can add time.
  • Extra stops and special requests. A second pickup, a detour or a child seat should be on the reservation so it is in the quote.

None of this is hidden; it is simply route-specific. Hold the airport, date, pickup style and vehicle class constant, then compare written totals. That is the only comparison that means anything, whether you are pricing us against another car service or against an app.

Choosing the class that fits the budget

The cheapest class is the one that fits everyone and everything the first time. A sedan is the right call for one to three people with light luggage. Once a third adult with a large suitcase or a stroller joins, the SUV is usually worth the extra $30 an hour, because switching vehicles at the curb costs more than booking correctly. The S-Class is a choice about comfort, not capacity: it has a sedan-size trunk. For groups, a single Sprinter often costs less than two SUVs; ask for both options in writing. Photos and capacities are on the fleet page.

Rates by trip type

Frequently asked questions

What are your hourly rates?

The hourly estimates are $120 for a sedan, $150 for an SUV, from $175 for an S-Class and from $200 for a Sprinter. Every hourly reservation has a 3-hour minimum.

Do I pay three hours for a one-way airport ride?

No. The 3-hour minimum applies when you book the car by the hour. A one-way airport or city transfer receives a route quote for that itinerary instead.

Is gratuity included?

For sedan and SUV hourly reservations, yes: the estimate includes gratuity and fees, so do not add gratuity a second time. S-Class and Sprinter figures are starting rates, and the booking form confirms the final price.

What can change the total?

Tolls, parking, airport access charges, waiting beyond the confirmed terms, extra stops and special requests depend on the itinerary. They are confirmed on the written quote, so compare written totals rather than headline rates.

Do you publish flat fares from each airport?

No. Direct transfers are quoted by route because the airport, the drop-off, the crossings and the pickup method all move the number. Ask for the written quote for your exact trip.

Is a stretch limousine on the rate card?

No. Stretch limousines are listed on the fleet page for events and are quoted separately. The published hourly classes are sedan, SUV, S-Class and Sprinter.
