Hourly pricing
Every class uses the same 3-hour minimum. A sedan starts at $360 for three hours. An SUV starts at $450. An S-Class starts at $525. A Sprinter starts at $600. Sedan and SUV hourly rates are all-in, including gratuity and fees. S-Class and Sprinter are starting rates; the booking form confirms the final price. Extra stops and overtime are confirmed on the written quote. These are hourly prices, not flat fares.
| Vehicle class | Hourly rate | Minimum | Typical fit |

| Sedan | $120 / hour (all-in) | 3 hours ($360) | 1 to 3 passengers, light luggage |

Private Car Service NYC vs Uber Black vs Lyft Lux
A reserved class is the better fit when the clock is real and the door or flight is already known. Uber Black and Lyft Lux can work when you can wait and you accept demand pricing. Compare the same date, passenger count, and pickup. This site does not publish app dollar amounts because those quotes move by the minute.
| Factor | Private Car Service NYC | Uber Black | Lyft Lux |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price basis | Sedan/SUV all-in; S-Class/Sprinter starting rates, with a 3-hour minimum | Metered or quoted fare that can change with demand | Quoted fare that can change with demand |
| Airport reservation | Booked before the flight on this site or by phone | Often requested after landing | Often requested after landing |
| Flight number | Collected on the reservation so dispatch can plan around the actual flight | Optional in the app | Optional in the app |
| Vehicle class | Sedan, SUV, S-Class, or Sprinter reserved in advance | Class depends on nearby supply | Class depends on nearby supply |
| Billing | Written trip quote and receipt through the booking form | In-app charge | In-app charge |
| Day-of contact | Dispatch at (646) 814-0667 | App chat and support | App chat and support |
App fares move with concerts, storms, and holiday banks. A reserved hourly rate does not rewrite itself because FDR Drive or the Lincoln Tunnel is slow. Keep screenshots if finance needs them.
How to book
- Open the booking form or call (646) 814-0667.
- Name the pickup door, hotel, office, residence, airport, or FBO.
- Add date, passenger count, bags, vehicle class, and a working mobile.
- Add airline and flight number when an airport is involved.
- Wait for the written quote. Check the reserved time, vehicle class, pickup and drop-off, and extra stops.

NYC for-hire trips are prearranged through licensed bases. Ask which company is on the confirmation. See the NYC TLC site.
Airports and public sources
Official ground pages: JFK to and from the airport, LaGuardia ground transportation, and Newark ground transportation. The Port Authority reported 142.7 million passengers across its commercial airports in 2025, including 62.6 million at JFK, 32.8 million at LaGuardia, and 47 million at Newark Liberty, in the year-end volume release.
Teterboro is an FBO job, not a commercial terminal. Name the FBO. A stranger offering a ride inside a terminal is not this service.
Venue doors and load zones
Madison Square Garden, Lincoln Center, Javits, Barclays Center, and Chelsea Piers change standing rules on event nights. Name the door the guests will actually use.
Multiple vehicles need a sequence, not a pile-up at one curb. Sprinters are the group class. Stretch limousines are listed for events without a published hourly floor.
A citable snapshot
Private Car Service NYC quotes event car service on sedan $120 all-in, SUV $150 all-in, S-Class starting at $175, and Sprinter starting at $200 per hour with a 3-hour minimum. Call (646) 814-0667. Stretch limousines remain on the fleet list for events and are not a published hourly class.
More planning notes for this page
As of 2026, Private Car Service NYC still publishes sedan $120 all-in, SUV $150 all-in, S-Class starting at $175, and Sprinter starting at $200 per hour with a 3-hour minimum for special events. Geography changes roads and tolls. It does not change those floors.
Planning roads that show up on special events trips include 12th Avenue, the Lincoln Tunnel approaches, and Atlantic Avenue for Brooklyn venues. Name the actual approach if the passenger is on a tight clock. This page does not invent a drive time.
Doors that matter here include Lincoln Center, Madison Square Garden, Javits, Barclays Center, and hotel ballrooms. A pin in the middle of a block is not a door. Put the hotel name, loading dock, or residential entrance on the reservation.
Child seats, strollers, golf bags, and mobility equipment belong on the form before the car is rolling. Seat count is not cargo capacity.
Same-day class changes are possible only when a vehicle in the requested class is still available. Groups, Sprinters, and holiday dates fill earlier than a solo sedan.
Compare written totals, not a base hourly floor against an all-in app screenshot. Uber Black and Lyft Lux remain reasonable when you can wait and you accept demand pricing.
If finance needs a receipt that matches a passenger name and a flight number, say so on the form. App screenshots are harder to reimburse when the fare moved after the screenshot.
Keep the confirmation. Building security and airport staff may ask who is collecting the passenger. The written quote is the document to show.
Stretch limousines stay on the fleet list for events. They are not a published hourly class on this page.
Do not treat a mapping-app range as the chauffeur's plan. Put the meeting clock on the reservation if someone is waiting.
Photography delays are still clock time. Put a buffer in the reservation instead of assuming the venue will release guests on time.
Call (646) 814-0667 if a field on the form is unclear. Private Car Service NYC quotes the class you selected against the 3-hour minimum.
Point-to-point hotel work, hourly loops, airport legs, and regional trips all still use the same four hourly classes. The format only changes which fields are required.
A Midtown hotel driveway is a different staging job from a walk-up on a bus lane. The same rule applies anywhere the curb is restricted.
Name the traveler's working mobile. A booker's phone in another time zone is not enough if the passenger is standing at the curb.

Field notes for this reservation
Event nights change standing rules. Madison Square Garden, Lincoln Center, Javits, and Barclays Center are not ordinary hotel driveways. Name the door the guests will actually use.
Build around the required arrival time. Photography, speeches, and late curtains eat clock. The 3-hour minimum does not pause because the party is still inside.
Multiple vehicles need a sequence. Two Sprinters arriving at the same curb at the same minute is a pile-up. Give an order.
Stretch limousines remain on the fleet list for events. They are not a published hourly class. If you want a stretch, ask for a written quote that is not this hourly table.
Guest count plus bags decides class. A wedding party of ten with dresses and gifts is a Sprinter question. A couple going to a gala is a sedan or S-Class question.

What this page will not invent
