Black Car Service

A black car service is a pre-booked, chauffeur-driven car, usually a black luxury sedan or SUV, with a price agreed before pickup. The same professional driver is assigned in advance, tracks your flight for airport pickups and waits for you, rather than being dispatched on demand like a taxi or rideshare.

Uber Black is an on-demand app ride in a premium vehicle, priced by the app at the time you request it. A black car service is booked ahead with a quoted price, an assigned professional chauffeur, flight tracking, meet-and-greet and hourly as-directed options. Uber Black suits a quick same-day ride; a black car service suits airport pickups, early departures, client travel and multi-stop days.

With Detailed Drivers, hourly black car service is $120/hr for a Business Sedan and $150/hr for a First Class SUV, with a 3-hour minimum. Point to point, JFK to Midtown Manhattan is about $220 in a sedan or $270 in an SUV. Prices are all-in: gratuity, tax and card fee included.

Not with us: a 20% gratuity is already included in every all-in Detailed Drivers price, so there is nothing extra to add at the end of the ride. Many other black car companies add gratuity separately, so check whether a quote is all-in before you compare prices.

Black car service offers a significantly higher standard of luxury, reliability, and professionalism. Unlike rideshares, our vehicles are immaculate, late-model luxury cars driven by professionally trained, uniformed chauffeurs. You receive guaranteed pricing, advanced booking, flight tracking, and a level of personalized service that rideshare apps cannot match.

We recommend booking at least 24 hours in advance to ensure vehicle availability, especially for specific vehicle requests or peak times. For corporate roadshows and events, 1-2 weeks notice is ideal. However, our 24/7 dispatch can often accommodate last-minute requests—call us at (888) 420-0177.

Sedan and SUV bookings receive a full refund when cancelled at least 48 hours before the scheduled pickup time. Sprinter bookings receive a full refund when cancelled at least 72 hours before the scheduled pickup time. Cancellations inside the applicable notice period are charged in full. If your flight is cancelled, there is no cancellation charge. These windows apply unless your quote says otherwise: event bookings and high-demand dates can carry a different window because of event pricing and availability, and your quote will state it.

Absolutely. Every Detailed Drivers chauffeur undergoes comprehensive background checks, drug testing, and driving record verification. All drivers are commercially licensed and insured. They receive ongoing training in defensive driving, executive protocol, and customer service excellence.

Yes, for regular clients we can assign a preferred chauffeur who learns your preferences and schedule. This is especially popular with corporate executives who travel frequently. Your preferred driver will know your favorite routes, temperature preferences, and communication style.
