Your chauffeur
What your NYC chauffeur does for you
A chauffeur is more than a driver. Your chauffeur meets you at the exact entrance you choose, handles your bags, plans the route around Manhattan traffic, and waits nearby while you're inside. When the meeting runs long or the plan changes, the car is still there. You never re-book, never wait on a curb and never share the ride.
Waits for you
On hourly bookings your chauffeur stays with you between every stop.
Adjusts with you
Add a stop or change the order on the day, within your booked hours.
Tracks your flight
For airport pickups, your chauffeur follows your flight in real time.
Keeps it private
Only your party rides, with no app, no stranger and no shared trip.
Uses
Hire a private driver in NYC for
Book one chauffeur for the whole plan, from the first pickup to the last drop-off.
A day of meetings
Midtown, then the Financial District, then a client lunch in Hudson Yards. Keep one car and one chauffeur all day, and step out of each meeting straight into your car.
Roadshows and investor days
Tight schedules with back-to-back meetings across Manhattan, with the same chauffeur for the whole day and a backup plan when the schedule moves.
Private flights and airport arrivals
Your chauffeur meets you at the FBO for private flights, or at JFK, LaGuardia or Newark with 60 minutes of included waiting on domestic arrivals and 90 minutes on international.
Shopping, sightseeing and family days
Fifth Avenue, SoHo, museums, a Brooklyn lunch and a drive past the skyline. Your bags stay in the car and your chauffeur is waiting outside each stop. SUVs fit up to 6 passengers, and child seats can be requested in advance for SUVs, subject to availability.
Evenings, galas and events
Dinner, the theater or a gala, with your chauffeur waiting at a set pickup point when you're ready.

Speak with the conciergeHow much does a chauffeur cost in NYC?
With Artisan Limo, a chauffeur in NYC costs $120 an hour in an Executive Sedan, $144 in a Suburban, $165 in an Escalade and $200 in an S-Class or 7 Series, with a 3-hour minimum. A half day of 4 hours is $480 to $800, and a full 8-hour day is $960 to $1,600.
Can you hire a driver to drive you around NYC?
Yes. Book a chauffeur by the hour and the driver stays with you for your whole booking: meetings, shopping, dinners or sightseeing. The minimum is 3 hours, and you can book up to 12 hours online.
What are the best hourly chauffeur services in NYC?
The best hourly chauffeur services confirm the full price before you book, keep the same chauffeur with you all day, include waiting between stops, and let you choose the exact vehicle. Artisan Limo does all four, from $120 an hour.
Is a chauffeur cheaper than Uber in NYC?
For one short ride, a rideshare usually costs less. For a day of meetings, several stops or a group, a chauffeur often makes more sense. The price is confirmed up front, the car waits for you, and you skip re-booking and rideshare prices that jump at busy times.
Can I hire a private chauffeur for a full day or several days?
Yes. A full 8-hour day starts at $960 in an Executive Sedan. Book up to 12 hours online. For multi-day or week-long bookings, contact the concierge for a written quote.
Do I need to tip my chauffeur?
Gratuity is optional with Artisan Limo. It isn't forced into your price, and you can add it if you'd like.
Can my chauffeur pick me up from a private jet?
Yes. We cover private aviation terminals (FBOs), including Teterboro and private flights at JFK. Include the airport, FBO and tail number when you book, and we coordinate your pickup timing with your flight team.
Can I get a child seat?
Yes. Child seats are available in our SUVs on request, subject to availability. Request them when you book.
