Pickup Points
Which end of Central Park South should I put on the reservation?
59th Street separates the two halves of Grand Army Plaza at the southeast corner of Central Park. The Pulitzer Fountain stands on the south side and the Sherman monument stands on the north side. If you meet family at the fountain, enter the hotel or street entrance you will walk to for the car. Your chauffeur texts the exact vehicle location.
At the opposite end, Columbus Circle brings Broadway, Eighth Avenue, Central Park West and 59th Street together. A guest leaving a hotel on the circle and a guest leaving a Fifth Avenue store can both say “the corner of Central Park” and mean different places. Give the building name, street number and rider’s mobile on the booking. For a west-side hotel arrival, see Mandarin Oriental car service.

At The Plaza, shoppers are directed to the entrance at 1 West 58th Street.

On weekday rush-hour departures, allow up to 90 minutes for LaGuardia or Newark and up to 2 hours for JFK. For Teterboro, allow about 30–50 minutes off-peak and up to 60 during peak traffic.
Send the flight departure time when arranging a checkout-day pickup. If you plan a stop on the way, enter that address before checking the fare.

Concerts
Which booking suits a concert or a holiday outing?
Two fixed journeys work well when you want a hotel departure and a scheduled pickup after the concert. If the group will tour holiday displays, stop for dinner and decide when to head back, reserve hourly chauffeur service NYC. The usual 3-hour minimum applies on major event days too; book a longer block to keep the car for the whole event.
| What your party needs | How to book it | What controls the return |
|---|---|---|
| Ride to a single performance | Book a transfer to the entrance on the ticket | Reserve a second one-way trip for a definite departure |
| Several stops and an adjustable finish | Hourly car, normally at least 3 hours | Stops and waiting use the same booked hours |
| A walk through the southeast plaza | Meet your companions at the fountain or monument | Arrange the car at a street entrance and use the chauffeur’s text |
For the NYC Marathon, send the finish-area exit or family meeting instructions from the organizer. The race course uses Central Park South.
