Private Chauffeur NYC

A private driver booking pairs a licensed chauffeur with a True North VIP vehicle for direct travel or a scheduled block of time. Choose hourly service for several stops or point to point for a single ride. The 3-hour minimum, vehicle capacity, waiting plan, and booking options are summarized here.

A private driver booking with True North VIP pairs you with a licensed chauffeur and one of our vehicles, either by the hour as directed or point to point. Reserve a block for appointments and several stops, or arrange a direct trip between two locations.

New York City requires prearranged for-hire vehicles to be dispatched through a TLC-licensed base; drivers need a TLC driver license, and vehicles carry TLC plates. For the rider, the key distinction is simple: a private chauffeur in NYC arrives in a True North VIP vehicle, rather than driving your own car. For more service details, see chauffeur service in NYC and our guide to the best chauffeur service in NYC.

Hourly service suits several stops or a day when you want a chauffeur available across a reserved block; point to point is for one direct ride. True North VIP has a 3-hour minimum for hourly bookings, with four- and eight-hour options for longer schedules.

For an hourly booking, choose the starting point and duration, then share the planned stops when requesting your ride. Use the time for appointments, shopping, meetings, or a sequence of destinations. For point-to-point travel, select a pickup and destination; the price depends on distance and vehicle class.

Taxes, tolls, and fees are included in the price, gratuity is optional, and your exact price is shown before you book.

True North VIP hourly rates start at $120 per hour for an Executive Sedan, with a 3-hour minimum. The totals below show three, four, and eight hours by vehicle; gratuity is optional, and the exact trip price is shown before you book.

An eight-hour reservation works as a full-day option. These totals are the hourly rate multiplied by the reserved hours, before optional gratuity. Point-to-point travel is priced by distance instead. See hourly chauffeur rates in NYC for more on the hourly format.

Choose a vehicle by passenger count first, then enter your bag count when you book because luggage capacity depends on the vehicle. Sedans seat up to two or three passengers, SUVs up to six, and the two Sprinter classes serve larger groups.

Sprinters are quoted on request. Child seats of every type (infant, convertible and booster) are $25 each in SUVs and Sprinters, never in sedans: up to 2 per direction in an SUV, more in a Sprinter, and in mini coaches and coaches after we discuss the trip. Enter your passenger and bag counts with the ride request so the vehicle choice fits the people and luggage traveling together.

On an hourly booking, your chauffeur waits legally nearby when a curb cannot be used for standing, then returns to the pickup point when you text or call. You can shop, attend an appointment, or stay in a meeting without asking the car to hold a restricted curb or block a traffic lane.

New York curb signs determine whether a car may stop for passenger pickup or must keep moving. When the curb does not allow waiting, the chauffeur circles or waits legally nearby, then returns when you are ready. This is how an hourly booking can serve a stop without occupying a curb where standing is prohibited.

For airport arrivals, flight tracking is included, with a 60-minute wait time after a domestic landing and a 90-minute wait time after an international landing. Every regular pickup has a 15-minute grace period, after which waiting time applies. Add your flight details when requesting an airport ride so the trip can be tracked.

“No Standing” allows a quick passenger pickup or drop-off during active loading, not a waiting vehicle; “No Stopping” prohibits stopping, including for a drop-off. Double parking is not allowed. These rules explain why a chauffeur waits legally nearby and returns when the passenger is ready.

Choose a pickup spot with a legal loading curb when you plan to leave a shop or meeting. Your chauffeur uses that point for the return, following the curb rules in the table.

An eight-hour private driver booking gives you a chauffeur and vehicle for a day of shopping, meetings, appointments, or several stops. Reserve the time block, share your planned locations, then use the service as directed; the hourly rate depends on the vehicle you choose.

A shopping day can move between stores and neighborhoods without arranging a separate ride for every leg. For a meeting day, group your stops into one hourly request and let the chauffeur return when you are ready. Appointments across the city also fit the time-block format when you want to go from one visit to the next.

For a day trip, choose point to point for a direct ride to Woodbury Common or ask for hourly service when you want the chauffeur across a longer schedule. The route table below shows example fares from Times Square to Woodbury Common by sedan and SUV. See our best personal chauffeur in NYC guide for another view of personal chauffeur service.

Point-to-point examples below show fares for two airport trips and a day-trip route to Woodbury Common. Each row compares the same origin and destination across four vehicle classes; taxes, tolls, and fees are included, gratuity is optional, and your exact price is shown before you book.

These are distance-based examples for the listed routes, not hourly rates. For example, the Executive Sedan fare from The Met to LGA Terminal B is $167, while the Times Square to Woodbury Common Executive Sedan example is $346. Sprinters are quoted on request.

A private chauffeur booking is reserved directly with True North VIP as an hourly block or point-to-point trip, with a chauffeur driving one of our vehicles. An app-based ride is requested through a rideshare app. Choose hourly service for a planned day with stops, or point to point for one direct trip.

Hourly rates are listed by vehicle and duration, while point-to-point pricing is based on distance and vehicle class. Both formats include taxes, tolls, and fees in the price shown before you book, and gratuity is optional. Your choice is between a reserved chauffeured service for a schedule or a single app-requested ride.
