Private Driver
in New York
In Manhattan a private driver buys certainty rather than speed. On a wet Friday evening the value is not the minutes saved, it is that a car is already waiting where you come out and you are not standing on Sixth Avenue with an app open.
My Private Service provides a private chauffeur service in New York, airport transfers JFK, LGA and EWR, executive car hire and VIP transportation available 24/7 across Manhattan and the New York metropolitan area.
Not faster.
Simply already there.
Manhattan drives on avenues that run one way, a congestion pricing zone covers everything south of 60th Street, and vehicles with a driver pay per trip rather than once for the day. Between a morning downtown, a lunch in Midtown and a show in the evening, the hourly format stops the question of getting there from coming up at all.
A car that is already outside
An hourly booking in New York buys the waiting. The chauffeur stays with you, the car holds your coats and your shopping, and the pickup point after a show is agreed before you go in.
- From four hours, with the same chauffeur from the first pickup to the last drop off
- Drop-off side chosen around the avenue's direction of travel rather than the address alone
- Unlimited stops inside the agreed area, from Battery Park to the Upper East Side
- Evening pickups agreed before the performance rather than negotiated in the crowd
- Fixed rate confirmed before departure, with no surge on a rainy Friday
New York and the runs out of it
The hotels, the offices and the shopping, with the usable side of the avenue chosen.
The financial district and Battery Park, including the heliport for onward legs.
The museums and the galleries, with drop-offs at the entrance your ticket matches.
Broadway, Lincoln Center and the arenas, with pickup points agreed beforehand.
Dumbo, Williamsburg and the studios, treated as part of the day rather than a special request.
JFK, LaGuardia, Newark and the private field across the river.
What is the minimum booking?
Four hours. For a single airport run the point to point transfer is better value and we will say so.
How does congestion pricing work for a chauffeured car?
The zone covers Manhattan south of 60th Street, with FDR Drive and the West Side Highway outside it. Vehicles with a driver are charged per trip rather than once a day, which we account for in the quoted rate.
Are stops limited?
No, not inside the area agreed at booking. In Manhattan the value is mostly that the car is already there when you come out.
Does the car wait during a show or dinner?
Yes. The chauffeur parks nearby and returns when you call, with the pickup point agreed before you go in.
Can you run to the Hamptons or Greenwich?
Yes, both, as full day bookings with the car staying with you or as fixed-rate one way transfers.
Which vehicles are available?
Mercedes S-Class and V-Class, the V-Class being the usual choice for arrivals with luggage. Close protection is available separately with certified agents.
