Midtown West Airport Transfers — Written Quotes
Every Midtown West airport transfer is quoted in writing for the exact pickup, destination, vehicle and pickup time. Once accepted, that total does not surge. The written quote states whether tolls (Verrazzano, Lincoln Tunnel, Holland Tunnel, GWB, Triborough), waiting, parking, taxes and gratuity are already included. Sedan and SUV hourly rates ($120 / $150) include gratuity and fees — do not add 18–20% on those. S-Class and Sprinter (from $175 / $200) are starting rates; the booking form confirms your final price, which can vary with taxes, tolls and availability.
