Hourly or point-to-point
There are two ways to pay for a ride. A point-to-point transfer is priced for one trip from one address to another. Hourly service reserves the chauffeur and vehicle for a block of time, including waiting between stops.
Point-to-point transfers start at $130 for a sedan and $160 for an SUV, and the exact route sets the final quote. Hourly service starts at $120 per hour for a sedan and $150 per hour for an SUV, with a 3-hour minimum.
What the rate includes
Sedan and SUV rates are all-in: gratuity and fees are included, so check the breakdown before adding a tip. S-Class and Sprinter rates are starting rates; the booking form confirms the final price, which can vary with taxes, tolls and availability.
Tolls, parking and extra stops are quoted on the reservation. The total you see before confirming is the number to hold on to.
How the three-hour minimum works
Hourly bookings bill at least three hours. A two-hour dinner in Midtown is booked as three hours. A four-hour afternoon of meetings between the Financial District and Hudson Yards is booked as four. If the plan is a single drop-off with no waiting, a point-to-point transfer usually costs less.
When a day might run long, book the realistic number of hours up front. It is easier to plan the vehicle for the whole day than to extend a booking on the curb.
Airports and longer trips
Airport rides are quoted for the exact route rather than as a flat airport fare. A JFK arrival to a Midtown hotel, a LaGuardia pickup to Greenwich and an EWR run to Brooklyn each get their own quote. Long regional trips such as the Hamptons follow the same rule, with tolls on the quote.
Groups
A Sprinter starts at $200 per hour and keeps a group and its bags in one vehicle. For bigger groups, the fleet page lists mini coaches and coaches, and multi-vehicle plans are quoted by phone at (917) 997-8345.
NYC car service pricing starts at $120 per hour
NYC Car Service publishes hourly floors of $120 for a sedan, $150 for an SUV, $175 for an S-Class, and $200 for a Sprinter, each with a 3-hour minimum. Tolls, parking, and extra stops are quoted on the reservation. Direct transfers require an exact-itinerary quote.
Those floors are the lowest hourly numbers this brand publishes. A longer window, an overnight, a coach from the fleet list, or a date when inventory is tight can quote higher. If a form shows a number below $120 per hour for a sedan, treat it as a mistake and call (917) 997-8345. Review the complete reservation total before confirming.
For a direct transfer, provide both addresses and ask which waiting time and parking charges are included. For a chauffeur retained across several stops, request hourly service for the full itinerary; the 3-hour minimum applies to hourly bookings. Confirm the booking type and complete total in writing.
| Vehicle | Hourly floor | Minimum | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sedan | $120/hr | 3 hours | Point-to-point and hourly black car trips |
| SUV | $150/hr | 3 hours | Families, extra bags, and executive SUVs |
| S-Class | $175/hr | 3 hours | Flagship sedan when the cabin is the point |
| Sprinter | $200/hr | 3 hours | Groups, event shuttles, and luggage-heavy airport rides |
Estimated hourly totals by duration
Hourly totals use the published hourly rate multiplied by the booked duration, subject to the 3-hour minimum. Sedan and SUV estimates include gratuity and fees; check the final breakdown before adding a tip. S-Class and Sprinter are starting rates; the booking form confirms your final price, which can vary with taxes, tolls and availability. Airport transfers are quoted for the exact route.
| Class | 3 hours | 4 hours | 6 hours |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sedan | $360 | $480 | $720 |
| SUV | $450 | $600 | $900 |
| S-Class | $525 | $700 | $1050 |
| Sprinter | $600 | $800 | $1200 |
