What it is

What is a black car service?

A black car service is a private, prearranged car with a professional chauffeur. It's usually a black sedan or SUV, booked ahead rather than hailed on the street or matched through an app. You know the vehicle, the pickup time and the price before the ride. The chauffeur comes to you, waits for you and drives only your party, with no shared rides and no stops for anyone else.

Uses

Black car service for business and travel

Book a black car for the airport, the office or the evening.

  1. Airport black car service

    Your chauffeur tracks your flight in real time and times the pickup to your actual landing. Domestic arrivals include 60 minutes of waiting and international arrivals 90 minutes, counted from wheels-down. Meet-and-greet is available as an option for eligible arrivals.

  2. Executive and corporate travel

    Meetings across Midtown, client pickups, investor days and roadshows. Corporate accounts give your team one place to book, with consistent vehicles and one point of contact.

  3. By the hour

    Keep the same car and chauffeur for a day of meetings, a shopping trip or a night out. Your chauffeur waits at every stop, so there's no re-booking and no standing on the curb.

  4. Dinners, shows and celebrations

    An Escalade or S-Class for date night, Broadway or a special dinner. For weddings, proms and bigger groups, see limo service NYC.
