Luxury group transportation in New York City and the tri-state

Up to 55 in a motor coach, which is the largest single vehicle in the fleet. Below that the range runs 40 in a charter bus, 23 to 38 in the mini buses, 14 in a Mercedes Sprinter van and 6 in an Escalade ESV. Groups larger than 55 travel in more than one vehicle, dispatched as a single booking with one point of contact.

Group work is usually hourly as-directed: the vehicle and chauffeur are held for a block of time, so the day can move without rebooking. Airport group transfers are flat-rated point to point instead, because they are a single movement. Tell us the shape of the day and we will say which of the two is cheaper for it.

Yes, and it varies by vehicle: three hours on a Sprinter van, four on a mini bus and five on a motor coach. The minimum exists because a 55-seat coach cannot take another job in the gap, and it is the figure that usually decides whether a short group run should be booked hourly or point to point.

Yes, and it is routine above about forty passengers. Multi-vehicle movements are dispatched as one job: the vehicles are staged together, departures are staggered when a single loading point cannot take everyone at once, and one dispatcher holds the whole plan so there is one number to call rather than several operators to coordinate.

Yes. A corporate account puts repeat group work — conference shuttles, employee transport, client hospitality — on consolidated monthly billing with cost codes, standing bookings for recurring runs and a named contact in dispatch. There is no minimum spend to open one, and the corporate transportation page covers how it is set up.

Yes. The usual shape is a vehicle for the wedding-party movements and a larger bus or coach shuttling guests between the hotel and the venue, with the timings agreed in advance and the vehicle held rather than rebooked between legs. We confirm the loading points at both ends before the day, because venue forecourts rarely take a coach without planning.

Yes. Group airport transfers are tracked against the live inbound flight, meet-and-greet in the arrivals hall is available on request, and larger vehicles load at each airport's designated point for buses rather than the arrivals kerb. We confirm that location in writing before the day and keep the chauffeur in contact with whoever is leading the party.

A motor coach and the charter bus carry luggage in the hold underneath, so a full party travels with checked bags in one vehicle. The mini buses take cases in the rear luggage area, and a Sprinter van seats 14 with hand luggage or fewer passengers with a full set of cases. Tell us the bag count at booking and the vehicle is sized for both numbers.

For a coach or several vehicles on a Saturday in wedding or convention season, as early as you can — those dates fill weeks out. A Sprinter van or mini bus midweek can often be arranged within a day or two. Dispatch is staffed around the clock, so a late request is worth a call rather than an assumption.

All five boroughs plus Westchester, Long Island, northern New Jersey and Connecticut, with daily coverage at JFK, LaGuardia and Newark Liberty. Longer group charters — Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Atlantic City and the Hamptons — are quoted as directed, because the waiting time and the return leg are what set the cost.

Both work, and the shape of the day decides which is quicker. One vehicle on one date — a van taking a team to a stadium, a mini bus moving guests from a hotel to a reception — books online in about a minute, with the card added at the end and charged 24 to 48 hours before pickup. More than one vehicle, more than one leg, or a shuttle that loops for hours is faster on the phone, because dispatch can size it with you, agree the loading points and put the whole movement on one booking. Both routes end in the same place: a written confirmation and one contact for the day.
