A private transfer is one Mercedes Sprinter and one professional chauffeur, booked for your group alone, from a pickup you name to a drop you name. It fits leadership teams, visiting clients and offices that need a group to arrive together. Local transfers start at $600, the driver is included, and nobody on your team has to drive.
Count the stops to choose between a transfer and an hourly booking. If everyone gets out and the van leaves, it’s a transfer. If the van has to wait at a meeting or come back for dinner, hourly is the honest fit. Tell us which you’re planning and we’ll say if the other one suits the day better.
3-hour minimum ($600). Use this when the van waits at an office or hotel between moves.
Rates shown are starting rates, from $200/hour with a 3-hour minimum ($600). Your quote confirms the final price, which can vary with taxes, tolls and availability. Gratuity is separate.
Send one manifest per arrival: traveler names, a mobile number for the lead, airline, flight number and the drop address. Flights are tracked, so a late landing moves the pickup instead of leaving a driver idling at the curb. If two people land well after the rest, say so up front. Holding a van for stragglers is a different booking from one clean pickup.
A day of meetings prices faster when it’s written as a list: hotel at 8:15, a Park Avenue office at 9:00, lunch, then Brooklyn. Put an arrival deadline on each line and flag the meetings that tend to run over. Anything with a wait in it belongs in an hourly booking. The transfer rate covers a single move.
The three big airports behave differently. JFK to Midtown can use the Van Wyck Expressway (I-678) and the Long Island Expressway (I-495). LaGuardia routes use permitted local access roads and I-278, which can back up at rush hour. Commercial Sprinters avoid parkways. Newark comes in through the Turnpike and a tunnel, and the tunnel queue decides the last stretch. Each airport page has the detail.
Door-to-door means the exact addresses in your booking. A terminal or a street corner won’t do. Name the entrance your guests will use, since Midtown buildings often load from a side street. For several hotel pickups, send a boarding count at each. Standard Sprinters seat 14–15 and the Jet seats 9, so count the busiest leg and add the bags.
Two Midtown addresses can be a short hop and still be the hardest curb of the day. Avenues carry bus lanes and no-standing zones, so agree the side street, the entrance and the time. If the pickup is a hotel, ask the front desk where a Sprinter can load and pass that to dispatch. A meeting room number is no help to a driver, but a door name is.
Local private transfers start at $600. If the van has to wait, hourly time starts at $200 with a 3-hour minimum. Your quote reflects tolls, taxes and availability. Tip your chauffeur separately.
