Artisan Limo

1. Artisan Limo: planned corporate car service NYC

  1. The price first

    Point-to-point rides start at $135 in an Executive Sedan, $155 in a Suburban, $185 in an Escalade and $235 in an S-Class or 7 Series. Hourly service is $120, $144, $165 and $200 an hour, with a 3-hour minimum. You see the price before you book, with required trip costs included. Gratuity is optional, not added automatically.

  2. Billing your finance team can use

    Company invoicing and cost centers are available on approved corporate accounts, and chauffeur continuity is available on request where possible.

  3. Airports and private flights

    Airline flights are tracked in real time. In a sedan or SUV, your chauffeur waits 60 minutes after a domestic landing and 90 minutes after an international landing, counted from wheels-down. For private flights, send the FBO and tail number, or your flight team's timing, and we coordinate your pickup.

  4. Built for assistants

    Confirmations go to the person booking and the passenger gets no automatic message, so add the passenger's name and mobile number. The concierge uses them to coordinate.

Carey

2. Carey: a managed program in many cities

Carey sells corporate accounts as a managed service, with a sales director who sets up billing, travel policies and access to its CareyConnect booking platform. It offers cost-center coding and consolidated monthly invoicing, across its service network. It doesn't publish NYC prices. Its terms list gratuity, fuel surcharge, airport fees, tolls and other charges on top of the base rate, and invoices include a suggested 20% gratuity that you can change.

Blacklane

3. Blacklane: connecting to travel booking tools

Blacklane business accounts are opened online. Monthly invoicing needs a credit assessment, and bookers can add a reference code or cost center that appears on the invoice. It lists integrations with Sabre, Amadeus, Travelport, SAP Concur and Navan, and says it is available in 60+ countries. Its New York pages say prices include fees, tolls and tips, with 1 hour of free airport waiting. No NYC price is published; you get one when you enter a trip.

Dial 7

4. Dial 7: low published airport rates

Dial 7 publishes NYC rates, with sedans from $55 for a LaGuardia pickup and hourly service from $65 in Manhattan. Its rates page says prices don't include tolls, gratuity, airport fees, congestion fees, waiting or extra stops. Corporate accounts need a New York-based company with a New York bank, in business 4+ years, using at least $1,500 a month, and corporate vouchers add a 20% gratuity. The 30-minute domestic and 45-minute international allowances apply to meet-and-greet; curbside cars are dispatched when the traveler is ready.

Empire CLS

5. Empire CLS: corporate travel coordination

Empire CLS offers corporate direct-billing accounts and an online system for account administrators. Its FAQ describes corporate account packages and billing solutions; ask the account team which integrations are available for your travel program. It allows 45 minutes of waiting on domestic arrivals and 75 on international. Its published terms set the base rate before airport fees, administrative charges, fuel surcharge and taxes. They also describe a 20% gratuity that is voluntary and removable; confirm the final account quote.
