Whitney
Can a car meet me at the Whitney Museum?
The Whitney directs car-service riders to 99 Gansevoort Street for its main entrance. The accessible approach runs from Washington Street along the south side of the museum, past the ground-floor restaurant. Enter the museum street address for a visit, opening or dinner pickup. Your chauffeur texts the exact spot. If you chose another door to exit the building, tell your chauffeur before crossing toward the waterfront.
Gansevoort Plaza is a pedestrian space at Ninth Avenue and Gansevoort Street. A meeting at the plaza and admission to the Whitney are two different destinations. Give dispatch the name of the restaurant, shop or venue where the party will actually be standing. For dinner guests leaving in pairs, add the order of the home drop-offs before the evening begins.
Little Island has two pedestrian bridges. The South Bridge is near West 13th Street, and the North Bridge is near West 14th Street. Both streets have pedestrian crossings of the West Side Highway. Give the group one bridge to use on the way out and name it in the return reservation. The car meets you on the street side of the walking route.
After an opening or dinner at the Whitney, a luxury car can meet you at 99 Gansevoort Street.

Drive Times
How long is the drive after dinner or a museum visit?
A typical neighborhood drive is 40–60 minutes to JFK, 25–35 minutes to LaGuardia and 30–50 minutes to Newark. Times vary with traffic; your chauffeur tracks it live. A busy evening can push LaGuardia toward 35–50 minutes. The adjacent West Village provides a Teterboro planning range of roughly 25–45 minutes in ordinary traffic. Allow more at rush hour, especially for a Hudson River crossing. These are drive times, separate from airport check-in or FBO reporting time.
The commercial-plated fleet uses highways and avenues. Along the 14th Street Busway from Ninth Avenue east to Third Avenue, cars serving a local address can pick up or unload and must take the next available right between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. If your restaurant makes a different entrance available on an event night, share the address with dispatch. Your chauffeur will text updated instructions.
Evening Plans
Should we book one car for the whole evening?
A three-hour car covers a gallery arrival, a dinner stop and a final drop-off if everything falls within those three hours. An Executive Sedan is $110 per hour. An Escalade ESV is $150 per hour and holds six guests. For a long performance or dinner with no stops in between, compare separate transfers from your hotel and back.
| Evening plan | Reservation | How the return works |
|---|---|---|
| Whitney followed by dinner | Hourly for several short stops | Chauffeur collects the party at the agreed final venue |
| A long dinner and one ride home | Prebook a single transfer | 15 minutes of grace from scheduled pickup |
| Walk the waterfront between two activities | Reserve the car from the street exit closest to the last activity | Tell the chauffeur which pedestrian bridge or museum door the group used |
| Hail a yellow taxi | Street hail where available | The party selects the available cab at the time of travel |
Hourly chauffeur service includes waiting and unlimited stops while the car is booked. Tolls are included, and parking is included in most cases; any parking fees are listed on your quote. Allow time to settle the restaurant bill and get everyone back to the car before the final drop-off. An overrun is billed in 30-minute increments at the vehicle’s hourly rate.
For New York Fashion Week transportation, provide the event entrance on the invitation, the next call time and the mobile number of the person traveling. Major event days keep the 3-hour minimum, so book a longer block to keep the car for the whole event. Multiple vehicles can be booked for larger parties returning to different hotels.
Booking
How do I reserve a Meatpacking District ride?

Select a vehicle class and enter guests, bags and intermediate stops. Choose the rider who will receive the chauffeur’s text.
Review the all-in quote and written acceptance. On the day, match the texted plate and vehicle before boarding.
Questions & answers
Meatpacking District car service FAQ
Can we leave the High Line near the Whitney?
The Whitney sits by the High Line’s southern entrance on Gansevoort Street. Tell dispatch you are ending the walk at that end. Once at street level, use the exact location texted by the chauffeur rather than asking different guests to find different doors.
Can the car wait after a restaurant pickup time?
A regular pickup includes 15 minutes. Extra waiting is $1.83 per minute in the Executive Sedan, $2.17 in a Suburban, $2.50 in an Escalade ESV and $3.00 in a Mercedes-Benz S-Class / BMW 7 Series. Call if your dinner runs late.
Can an airport arrival be added before the event?
Yes. Book the arriving flight and hotel or event address. Complimentary wait is 60 minutes after a domestic landing or 90 after an international landing. A $25 inside-terminal meet and greet is available at JFK, LaGuardia and Newark.
What if the return pickup shifts to the West Village?
Call dispatch or email info@chauffeurservicenyc.com with the new address and time. A change close to pickup can count as canceling and booking again. See West Village car service for Christopher Street and nearby theater pickups.
Can you handle 14 guests for dinner?
Yes. Groups above 13 travel in multiple vehicles. An Executive Sprinter holds 13 passengers and 14 bags, while a Jet Sprinter takes up to ten. Assign guests by destination and identify one rider contact for each car.
What is the cancellation window for an event?
Group, event and multi-leg reservations receive a full refund with at least 48 hours’ notice. A regular transfer has a 24-hour full-refund window. Inside the applicable window refunds are at company discretion. A no-show is charged the full fare.
