Frequently Asked Questions

Plan your event transportation

How much does NYE transportation cost in NYC?

NYE as-directed hourly estimates are $120 sedan, $150 SUV, S-Class from $175 and Sprinter from $200. The standard minimum is 3 hours (about $360, $450, from $525, from $600). A 4-hour reserved NYE example is about $480, $580, $700 or $800 because street closures and dinner-plus-club timing usually need more than three hours. Confirm Times Square exclusion, pickup point and the reserved duration in writing.

Can you drop me in Times Square on NYE?

The closest legal drop on the west side is 50th Street and 8th Avenue. From 8th Ave the passenger walks east into the viewing area. East side closest drop is roughly 51st Street and 5th Avenue depending on closure status that night.

Why is there a 4-hour example itinerary (standard minimum: 3 hours) on NYE?

The standard hourly minimum is still 3 hours. The 4-hour NYE example exists because street closures, Times Square exclusion and a dinner-plus-club window typically consume four reserved hours. Four reserved hours are estimated $480 sedan, $580 SUV, from $700 S-Class and from $800 Sprinter. Book the duration you actually need.

When should I book NYE transportation?

Book 4 to 6 weeks ahead — by November 20 for confirmed fleet assignment. NYE inventory typically sells out by mid-December. Same-week NYE bookings (Dec 26–30) are accepted only if any vehicles remain unassigned, generally at the Sprinter rate as sedans book first.

Is the surcharge applied during the ride or pre-paid?

Ask for the final total and a list of included tolls, taxes and fees before accepting the booking. Confirm whether traffic, changed stops, waiting or the travel date can change that total.

Do you offer Sprinter charter for NYE groups?

Request a written Mercedes Sprinter quote for the full NYE itinerary, and confirm that passengers and luggage fit the assigned vehicle. Common use: group dinner at Carbone or Sant Ambroeus → group transfer to Brooklyn Mirage, House of Yes, or Marquee → group return to Manhattan hotel. Sprinter books out earlier than sedans — reserve by November 15.

Can the driver wait outside the club?

Yes. Wait time is included in the hourly rate — the chauffeur stages near the venue during your dinner or club stop. NYPD restricts curbside staging in some Midtown blocks after 10pm Dec 31, so the driver may stage one block away and pull up on dispatch text. Staging plan reviewed at the pre-trip call 48 hours before NYE.

What hotels and clubs do you typically serve on NYE?

Hotels: The Plaza, The Pierre, The Mark, Park Hyatt, Aman New York, Equinox Hotel, The Standard High Line. Restaurants: Le Bernardin, Per Se, Carbone, The Polo Bar, Eleven Madison Park. Clubs: Marquee, Lavo, PHD Terrace, Brooklyn Mirage (seasonal), House of Yes, Somewhere Nowhere. Confirm destinations at booking — exclusion-zone routing planned in advance.
