Airports
Manhattan to the airport, and back
Most Manhattan rides start or end at an airport. Your chauffeur tracks your flight, waits 60 minutes after a domestic landing and 90 minutes after an international one, and takes you straight to your building. For trips to the airport, your car arrives at your door with 15 minutes of waiting included.
The LaGuardia and Newark distances are approximate Google Maps driving-distance samples supplied in the October 4, 2026 Polar packet, not newly measured routes. Drive times change a lot with traffic, so we plan your pickup around your flight and the time of day.
| Airport | Distance from Midtown | Route page |
|---|---|---|
| LaGuardia (LGA) | About 11.5 miles, the closest | LaGuardia to Manhattan car service |
| JFK | Farther out in Queens; the drive depends on traffic | JFK to Manhattan car service |
| Newark (EWR) | About 17 miles, through the tunnels | Newark to Manhattan car service |

Hourly
Hourly car service in Manhattan
Manhattan days rarely have one stop. Book a car and chauffeur by the hour, with a 3-hour minimum, and the car stays with you between meetings, shops and dinner. Waiting and local stops within your booked hours are included, so you're not paying for a new ride at every stop. Extra time is billed in 30-minute increments at the same rate, once you and our dispatch team approve it and subject to availability.
