A Long Island car service is a pre-booked, professional ground transportation provider operating commercially insured vehicles with vetted chauffeurs. Unlike on-demand rideshare platforms like Uber and Lyft that use independent contractors with personal cars, Detailed Drivers dispatches a managed fleet of Executive Sedans, First Class SUVs, Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedans, and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Vans across Nassau County, Suffolk County, and the Hamptons. According to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and LaGuardia Airport (LGA) together handle over 100 million passengers annually. Long Island MacArthur Airport (ISP) in Ronkonkoma serves 1.4 million passengers per year. Detailed Drivers provides flat-rate airport transfers from every Long Island community to all three airports, with real-time flight tracking, meet-and-greet at baggage claim, and 60-minute complimentary wait times. Hourly rates start at $100 for an Executive Sedan and $175 for a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van. As of 2026, Detailed Drivers operates across 67+ cities. Call (888) 420-0177.
