Should I book hourly or point-to-point for a show night?
Book hourly when you want one car and chauffeur for the whole evening. Book point-to-point when you only need a ride to the theater and a ride home.
| Question | Hourly service | Point-to-point |
|---|---|---|
| What you book | A block of hours, 3-hour minimum | A drop-off, then a separate return pickup |
| During the show | The chauffeur stays assigned to your booking; waiting uses the booked hours | No car is held for you between the two trips |
| After the curtain | Your chauffeur meets you at the corner you agreed | Your return car arrives at the pickup time you booked |
| If the show runs long | Extra time needs approval from you and from us, billed in 30-minute steps | Every regular pickup has a 15-minute grace period, after which waiting time applies |
| Best fit | Dinner, a show and a ride home, or several stops | One ride in and one ride out |
Hourly service reserves a chauffeur and vehicle for a set block, with time for multiple stops and waiting between them. Waiting at planned stops uses the booked hours, so count dinner and the show as part of the block. See hourly car service in NYC for how the block works and the wait time policy for the waiting rules.
For one pickup and one destination, point-to-point car service in NYC is the more direct format. Book the drop-off and a return pickup for after the curtain. If you are running late, call 888-887-0324 before the 15-minute grace period ends.

Where can cars stop near Broadway theaters?
Your chauffeur stops where the posted signs allow near the theater's address. The signs on each block decide whether a car may stop there, so we do not name a fixed spot for any theater.
NYC DOT's parking rules give three kinds of curb sign (NYC DOT, Parking Regulations, checked November 12, 2026):
| Sign on the block | Can a car stop to drop off or pick up passengers? | Is waiting allowed? |
|---|---|---|
| No Stopping | No | No |
| No Standing | Yes | No |
| No Parking | Yes | No |
The same NYC DOT page says double parking of passenger vehicles is illegal at all times, and that when more than one sign is posted for the same area, the more restrictive one is in effect.
In practice, that means a short stop to let you out or in, with the car away from the theater door during the show. Give the theater name and the cross street when you book, then a nearby corner for the pickup. Our Times Square car service page covers pickups around the plazas and the Theater District.
What does a dinner and show itinerary look like?
A dinner and show night is one hourly block that starts at your first pickup and ends at your final drop-off. These are example plans, not fixed packages:
| Example plan | Stops in order | Booking that fits |
|---|---|---|
| Dinner, then the show | Home or hotel, restaurant, theater, home or hotel | Hourly, 3-hour minimum |
| Show, then a late dinner | Home or hotel, theater, restaurant, home or hotel | Hourly, 3-hour minimum |
| Show only | Home or hotel, theater, home or hotel | Point-to-point each way, or hourly if you want the same car all evening |
| Arriving by air for a show | Airport, hotel, theater | Airport ride, then a separate booking for the evening |
Enter each address in order when you book, with the curtain time and the time you expect the evening to end. Check your show's running time before you choose the number of hours. A 4-hour block in an Executive Sedan is $440, and the minimum 3-hour block is $330.

How do groups travel to a show?
Up to 6 riders fit in an Executive SUV or a Luxury SUV. For larger groups, the Jet Sprinter seats 10 and the Executive Sprinter seats 13, and both are quoted on request.
For a Sprinter quote, share the passenger count, the pickup address, the theater, the curtain time and the hours you need. See Sprinter van service in NYC for group planning and vehicle classes for seats in each class.
Group bookings need more notice to cancel: at least 48 hours before pickup for a full refund, under our cancellation policy.
