Premier Transportation to the New York International Auto Show

The New York International Auto Show (NYIAS), held annually at the Jacob Javits Convention Center, is one of the oldest and most prestigious automotive exhibitions in North America. Since 1900, this iconic event has showcased the latest innovations in automotive technology, design, and performance, attracting hundreds of thousands of enthusiasts, industry professionals, media, and potential buyers from around the world. At Detailed Drivers, we specialize in providing premium transportation services to the NY Auto Show, ensuring automotive executives, exhibitors, journalists, and attendees arrive in comfort and style.

The Premier Automotive Event in New York

Spanning over one million square feet of exhibit space at the Javits Center, the NY Auto Show features over 1,000 vehicles from the world's leading automotive manufacturers. From cutting-edge electric vehicles and autonomous driving technology to classic muscle cars and exotic supercars, the show presents the full spectrum of automotive innovation. The event typically runs for 10-12 days in early April, beginning with exclusive press preview days where manufacturers unveil new models and make major announcements to automotive journalists from around the globe.

Industry Day follows the press previews, welcoming automotive executives, fleet managers, dealers, and trade professionals for networking and business development opportunities. The show then opens to the public for over a week, offering consumers the opportunity to see, touch, and compare vehicles from dozens of manufacturers in one convenient location. Whether you're attending for business or pleasure, navigating Manhattan traffic and finding parking near the Javits Center can be challenging—that's where our professional car service provides invaluable convenience.
