Frequently Asked Questions

A professional black car sedan from Manhattan to JFK costs approximately $125 to $165 as an all-in flat rate, plus tolls and gratuity. SUVs run $165 to $215. Flight tracking is included with a legitimate car service.

Stretch limousines in NYC run $125 to $225 per hour with 3 to 5 hour minimums, depending on vehicle (Lincoln, Chrysler 300, Cadillac) and season. Wedding and prom dates carry higher minimums.

During surge pricing (rush hour, rain, late nights, major events), Uber Black and Lyft Lux frequently cost more than a professional car service — and you still get an unverified vehicle. For airport runs and planned trips, a black car service is usually the cheaper and more reliable choice.

Tipping 18 to 20 percent is customary for professional chauffeur service. Many operators (Union Limousine included) include gratuity as a transparent line item so it is never a surprise.

Hourly bookings typically require a 2-hour minimum for sedans and SUVs, 3 hours for Sprinters, and 3 to 5 hours for stretch limousines, with higher minimums on peak event dates.

Yes. Union Limousine offers direct billing, corporate accounts with consolidated invoicing, and secure online reservations. Executive assistants and travel managers are supported with dedicated account managers.
