Chauffeur Service in New York City, NY

A yellow cab will get you across town. A rideshare will get you to the airport, eventually, at whatever the surge decides. A chauffeur is a different arrangement: the car is reserved for you, the driver is a licensed professional who knows every bridge and tunnel approach, and the fare is written down before you leave. That is what our chauffeur service in New York delivers across all five boroughs of New York City, NY, from a Tribeca loft to a Riverdale co op, a Forest Hills brownstone, a Bay Ridge apartment, or a St. George ferry terminal. Union Limousine has operated in this city since 1997 with its own dispatch center, its own fleet, and a driver roster held to the same standard on a Tuesday morning airport run and a Saturday night gala.

Five Boroughs, One Dispatch Standard

Manhattan traffic is a known quantity; Queens Boulevard at 5 p.m., the BQE near the Kosciuszko, the Cross Bronx, and the Staten Island Expressway are less predictable. Our dispatchers watch each corridor in real time and assign the driver best positioned for your pickup, then hand off a route plan that accounts for construction, closures, and event traffic. The same procedures govern our chauffeur service nationwide, and New York is where they were written.

Neighborhoods We Reach Daily

Manhattan pickups run from Inwood and Washington Heights through Harlem, the Upper West and Upper East Sides, Midtown, Chelsea, the Village, SoHo, Tribeca, and the Financial District. Brooklyn coverage spans Williamsburg, Park Slope, Brooklyn Heights, Bay Ridge, Bushwick, Flatbush, and Sheepshead Bay. In Queens we serve Astoria, Long Island City, Jackson Heights, Flushing, Forest Hills, Bayside, and the Rockaways; in the Bronx, Riverdale, Fordham, Pelham Bay, and Throgs Neck; and on Staten Island, St. George, Todt Hill, Great Kills, and Tottenville. Trips to Long Island, Westchester, New Jersey, and Connecticut are one flat fare.

Airport Chauffeur Rides Across JFK, LaGuardia, Newark, and Teterboro

New York City has three commercial airports and two private fields within an hour of Midtown, and the right choice depends on the flight, the day, and the pickup address. Kennedy in Jamaica serves most international routes; LaGuardia in East Elmhurst handles domestic flights and sits closest to Manhattan; Newark Liberty across the Hudson is often the fastest airport from the West Side and Lower Manhattan. Teterboro and Westchester County Airport take the private and corporate jets.

Meet and Greet at Kennedy and LaGuardia

For departures, the chauffeur sets the pickup from the flight time, the terminal, and live conditions on the Van Wyck or the Grand Central Parkway, then drops at the airline door. For arrivals, the driver tracks the flight and waits inside the terminal with a name sign, so a customs line at JFK Terminal 4 or a gate hold at LaGuardia Terminal B moves the pickup without a call from you. Flight tracking and the first hour of waiting are included on every airport fare.

Newark, Teterboro, and Westchester Runs

Newark transfers cross the Lincoln or Holland Tunnel or the George Washington Bridge depending on the pickup, and the fare includes the toll either way. Teterboro planeside pickups are coordinated with the FBO, and the chauffeur waits on the ramp for wheels down. Westchester County Airport in Purchase is quoted as a flat rate from any borough, with the Hutchinson River Parkway route confirmed before departure.

Where the City Books a Chauffeur

Broadway, Museum Mile, and Lincoln Center

Theater nights in the Broadway district, opera and ballet at Lincoln Center, and museum evenings on Fifth Avenue all share the same problem: no place to leave a car. The Metropolitan Museum of Art notes on its plan your visit page that vehicles may stop on Fifth Avenue only long enough to load and unload, which is exactly how a chauffeured drop works. Your driver circles or stages nearby and returns to the curb the minute you text.

Arenas and Ballparks in All Five Boroughs

Madison Square Garden, Yankee Stadium, Citi Field, and the USTA tennis center each fill the surrounding streets an hour before the first pitch or tip off. Barclays Center in Brooklyn publishes bus transportation rules that require coaches to stage outside the neighborhood after drop off and return thirty minutes before the event ends, and our mini coach and party bus drivers follow that sequence so groups walk straight from the curb to the atrium entrance.

Cruise Terminals, Penn Station, and Grand Central

Sailings from the Manhattan Cruise Terminal on the West Side and the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal in Red Hook begin with luggage, and a sedan or SUV with a driver who handles the bags sets the tone for the week. Amtrak arrivals at Moynihan Train Hall and Metro North arrivals at Grand Central are met at the platform level with a name sign, and Long Island Rail Road riders at Atlantic Terminal or Grand Central Madison get the same greeting.

Corporate Roadshows and Financial District Accounts

Investment firms, law practices, and media companies in Midtown, Hudson Yards, and the Financial District run recurring airport transfers, investor roadshows, and client dinners on corporate accounts with a single monthly invoice. Union Limousine assigns each account a coordinator who knows the travelers by name, and the Our Services page describes hourly executive charters, conference logistics, and multi city travel.

Vehicle Classes for New York City

Seven classes cover a solo airport transfer and a 56 seat conference shuttle alike. Each vehicle is inspected before dispatch and matched to the passenger count, luggage, and occasion on the booking.

Sedans (up to 3 passengers)

Executive sedans handle airport and rail transfers, dinner reservations, and point to point business calls, seating three with two checked bags and carry ons.

SUVs (up to 6 passengers)

Six passenger SUVs suit families flying out of JFK, executives who want space to work, and winter runs to Westchester or New Jersey when the parkways ice over.

Stretch Limousines (up to 20 passengers)

Stretch limousines serve weddings at the Plaza and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, prom nights across the boroughs, sweet sixteens, and anniversary dinners, in layouts from eight to twenty seats. Interior photos of each model are on our Limousine Service page.

Sprinter Vans (up to 14 passengers)

Fourteen passenger Sprinters move roadshow teams, wedding parties, and family groups, and they double as the vehicle of choice for Hudson Valley wine tours and Hamptons weekends leaving from Manhattan.

Party Buses (up to 30 passengers)

Party buses seat up to thirty for bachelor and bachelorette nights, club crawls through the Meatpacking District and Williamsburg, and arena concert shuttles, with sound and lighting onboard.

Mini Charter Buses (up to 35 passengers)

Mini coaches carry wedding guest shuttles between hotels and venues, school groups to the museums, and corporate offsites, with reclining seats and luggage bays.

Full Size Charter Buses (up to 56 passengers)

Full size motorcoaches serve conference delegations at the Javits Center, athletic teams, church groups, and day trips to Atlantic City, Philadelphia, and Washington, with restrooms, Wi Fi, and power at every row.

Congestion Pricing and Tolls

Fares for trips entering Manhattan below 60th Street include the congestion charge, and airport and point to point fares include every bridge and tunnel toll on the route. Hourly charters run on a two hour minimum for sedans and SUVs and a three hour minimum for stretch limousines and party buses.

Street Closures and Parade Days

The Thanksgiving parade, the marathon, Fifth Avenue parades, and United Nations week each close corridors for hours. Dispatch reroutes every affected booking the day before and confirms a revised pickup time, so a ride scheduled for the morning of the marathon still leaves on schedule.
