JFK typically takes 40 to 55 minutes off-peak and 60 to 80 minutes at weekday rush hour. Newark typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, LaGuardia 30 to 45 minutes and Teterboro 35 to 50 minutes. Times vary with traffic; your chauffeur tracks it live. For JFK we take the Williamsburg Bridge, the BQE (I-278), the Long Island Expressway (I-495) and the Van Wyck Expressway (I-678). For Newark we take the Holland Tunnel and the New Jersey Turnpike (I-95). The Holland Tunnel approach on Varick Street backs up at rush hour, so dispatch sets pickup times with that in mind. Add an airport buffer to the drive: 2 hours for domestic flights, 3 hours for international and 75 minutes before private-jet wheels-up.

Yes. Hourly service starts at $110/hr with a 3-hour minimum, and tolls and unlimited stops within the booked hours are included. The car waits while you shop Prince and Spring Streets or go between showrooms. If a booking runs past the hours you booked, the extra time is billed in 30-minute increments at the vehicle’s hourly rate. Major event days, including Fashion Week, the Met Gala, UNGA week, the US Open, New Year’s Eve, the marathon and big stadium events, keep the same 3-hour minimum; book a longer block to keep the car for the whole event.
