Executive Sedan
What does the Executive Sedan cost and carry?
The Executive Sedan carries 2 passengers and 2 bags at $110 per hour or from $174.61 for a one-way JFK–Midtown transfer. It is the lowest published hourly rate in the fleet. Choose it for a direct airport journey, a meeting transfer or an hourly itinerary within that capacity.
The 3-hour minimum calculates to $330 for the booked hours. For airport travel, add the flight number and select curbside pickup or the $25 inside greeting. View the Executive Sedan and enter the actual trip to receive your quote.
SUVs
Should I choose the Chevrolet Suburban or Cadillac Escalade ESV?
The Chevrolet Suburban is $130 per hour and the Cadillac Escalade ESV is $150 per hour; both carry 6 passengers and 6 bags. For the JFK–Midtown route, the Suburban starts at $202.53 and the Escalade ESV starts at $236.49. The difference is $20 per booked hour or $33.96 for that transfer.
Choose the Chevrolet Suburban for the Executive SUV rate. Choose the Cadillac Escalade ESV for the Escalade class. Enter the same itinerary when comparing them so the difference stays tied to the vehicle choice.
For a 3-hour booking, the Suburban calculates to $390 and the Escalade ESV to $450 for the booked hours. For 6 booked hours, those calculations are $780 and $900. Both hourly bookings include unlimited stops within the booked hours.
Luxury Sedan
How is the luxury sedan class different from the Executive Sedan?
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class / BMW 7 Series carries 3 passengers and 2 bags at $180 per hour, compared with the Executive Sedan’s $110 hourly rate. Both classes use the same published bag limit. Select the luxury sedan class when that vehicle category is part of your booking preference.
The luxury sedan’s one-way JFK–Midtown fare starts at $306.30, and its 3-hour booked-hour calculation is $540. View the Mercedes-Benz S-Class / BMW 7 Series class and include your itinerary in the reservation. Use an SUV when the group requires 4–6 passenger places.
Sprinter
When should I book an Executive Sprinter?
The Executive Sprinter carries 13 passengers and 14 bags, making it the single-vehicle choice for groups of 7–13. Reserve it for an airport group, a team’s meeting itinerary or a shared event journey. Add the complete passenger count, bag count, date and route to the request.
The Executive Sprinter is quote only for both hourly service and transfers. Quote on request: call (888) 883-8180 or request a quote online. Groups above 13 travel in multiple vehicles.
For Jet Sprinter, Mercedes-Maybach and Rolls-Royce requests, provide the same itinerary details. Quote on request: call (888) 883-8180 or request a quote online. Specify the requested vehicle category when contacting dispatch.
How should I plan a group larger than 13?
A group above 13 travels in multiple vehicles, and the request should show the passengers and bags assigned to each. Two Chevrolet Suburbans provide a combined published capacity of 12 passengers and 12 bags. One Executive Sprinter plus one Executive Sedan provides a combined published capacity of 15 passengers and 16 bags.
Use one group list with names, arrival details and destinations. If the group splits between hotels, identify the hotel for each vehicle. If everyone travels on the same route, send that route once with the complete allocation and ask dispatch to quote the group.
Child seats cost $25 each in SUVs and Sprinters, with up to 2 per booking. Include the number of seats alongside the passenger list. A request for 3 or more child seats requires multiple vehicles under that limit.
Airports
Which vehicle works for airport transfers or a full meeting day?
All 4 published sedan and SUV classes offer the JFK–Midtown all-in transfer fare and hourly service with a 3-hour minimum. The transfer is for the direct journey; hourly service covers the booked time and unlimited stops within it. Select the booking format first, then the capacity and vehicle class.
Use Airport Transfer Service NYC for arrival or departure travel. Use Hourly Chauffeur Service NYC when the itinerary includes meetings, shopping, appointments or time between stops. The NYC Chauffeur Rates & Pricing page lists the approved rates and starting fares.
For airport arrivals, the free waiting allowance is 60 minutes domestic or 90 minutes international from landing. Flight tracking means a delay before landing does not use that time. Choose the vehicle around the full arrival group and luggage total.
What local pickup details help a group travel together?
Provide 3 details for a group pickup: the exact location, the passenger total and the bag total. The official references below help distinguish a vehicle’s capacity from the meeting place. Include the property or venue name in the reservation.
| Local planning fact | Why it matters for the vehicle request |
|---|---|
| JFK’s official taxi guidance lists 4 passengers for standard NYC cabs and 5 for minivans. Official JFK taxi guidance | A group of 6 has a clear single-vehicle option in our Suburban or Escalade ESV. |
| The Plaza Hotel lists 768 Fifth Avenue at Central Park South; its shops list 1 West 58th Street. Official Plaza FAQ | Identify the hotel or shops so the group’s pickup request names the correct destination. |
| Alice Tully Hall lists pickup and drop-off on Broadway’s west side between West 65th and West 66th Streets. Official venue access guide | Name the hall and list the full group for the return journey. |
For 7–13 passengers arriving together, request an Executive Sprinter and provide the flight and luggage details. For travelers arriving on separate flights, list each arrival with its assigned passengers. Dispatch and booking are available 24/7 at (888) 883-8180.
