Detailed Drivers is New York City's premier limousine service, providing flat-rate chauffeured transportation 24/7 across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, and the Tri-State area. The fleet includes Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedans (3 passengers, from $95/hr), Cadillac Escalade ESV SUVs (6 passengers, from $125/hr), and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Vans (14 passengers, from $150/hr). All three airports — John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK, 15–20 mi from Midtown), LaGuardia Airport (LGA, 9 mi), and Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR, 16 mi) — are served with real-time flight tracking, meet-and-greet at baggage claim, and complimentary 60-minute wait on international arrivals. Chauffeurs hold NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) For-Hire Vehicle licenses. Airport transfers start at $125 to LGA and $175 to JFK from Midtown — flat rate, no surge, no meter. As of 2026, Detailed Drivers serves 30+ US cities. Book at (888) 420-0177.
New York City processes more than 2 million limo and black car trips per month across its 54,000+ licensed TLC vehicles. Unlike app-based rideshare services that apply dynamic surge pricing — 4x on New Year's Eve in Midtown, 3.5x during prom season, 2.5x+ during UN General Assembly week and New York Fashion Week — Detailed Drivers locks your rate at booking. Your $95/hr sedan rate on a Tuesday morning is the same rate on December 31st at 11:30 PM.
Corporate New York runs on reliable transportation. From Goldman Sachs at 200 West St in the Financial District to JPMorgan Chase at 383 Madison Ave to BlackRock at 50 Hudson Yards — our TLC-licensed chauffeurs navigate NYC's financial corridors with the discretion that C-suite travel demands. NDA-compliant drivers, on-time guarantees, and centralized corporate billing are standard, not add-ons.
Limousine service in New York City costs $95/hr for a Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan and $125/hr for a Cadillac Escalade ESV SUV, with flat-rate pricing that never surges regardless of traffic, weather, or events.
