The people
Meet the Chauffeurs.
Uniformed, background-checked and employed by us — never a broker's contractor, and the same faces that recur on an account.
Book Now
The chauffeur standard
What employment makes possible.
The standard behind every booking — none of it is a platform's to promise.
Background-checked
Vetted before they ever drive for us, and licensed and commercially insured to carry passengers in New York.
Trained beyond the licence
Defensive driving, passenger service and the geography of a city where the fastest route is rarely the obvious one.
Suited and discreet
Suit and tie, the vehicle detailed first, and the discretion that lets the back of the car be a moving office.
Briefed in advance
Told about your booking before it starts, so the chauffeur knows the building, the schedule and the stops rather than reading an address off a phone.
Reachable around the clock
Dispatch is staffed every hour of every day, so a change of plan is a phone call rather than a cancelled job.
Every way to book a chauffeur
Same chauffeur, four ways to buy the time.
The chauffeur and the standard do not change; only the way the time is bought does. Each is priced on the page that owns it.
By the hour
Held as-directed for a day or an evening with several stops and real waiting — the vehicle stays with you.
Hourly chauffeur servicePoint to point
One journey between two known addresses, flat-rated on the addresses and agreed before you travel.
Point-to-point transfersTo the airport
JFK, LaGuardia, Newark and Teterboro at flat rates, with the inbound flight tracked and a meet inside the terminal on request.
Airport car serviceOn a corporate account
Billed centrally and usually served by the same small group of chauffeurs, trip after trip.
Corporate transportation

Executive sedans and Escalade ESVs, Sprinter vans, mini buses and a 55-seat motor coach — all ours, each driven by a chauffeur we employ.

The Golden Class difference
One message, and the car is handled.
You have seen how we are run. When you are ready, a single request puts a vetted chauffeur and the right-sized vehicle on your schedule — at a flat, all-in price agreed before you travel, never a surge and never a broker.

What a chauffeur is, and why it is a person rather than an app
A chauffeur is not a driver
The two words get used as if they meant the same thing, and they do not. A driver takes you from one place to another. A chauffeur's job is the journey itself — the car presented clean, the door, the luggage, the discretion, a schedule held across a day of stops. It is a trade with standards, and the chauffeur service NYC travellers remember is remembered for the person, not the paintwork.
That is the thing an allocation app is not built to deliver. It is good at putting a car near you quickly; it is not designed to put the same trained professional in front of you twice, or to let anyone brief that person before you get in.
Why we employ our chauffeurs
Our chauffeurs are on our payroll, not signed up to a platform with their own car. That single fact sets everything downstream: we background-check and train them, we hold them to a dress standard and a code of conduct, and we can tell them about your booking before it starts rather than letting an address appear on a phone.
The chauffeur service NYC companies keep on account relies on exactly that continuity — the same vetted people, the same cars and the same standard every time, which is difficult to promise when the driver is a stranger assigned at the kerb.
Vetting, training and presentation
Every chauffeur is background-checked before they drive for us and trained beyond the licence: defensive driving, passenger service, and the geography of a city where the fastest route is rarely the obvious one. Presentation is part of the job description — suit and tie, the vehicle detailed first, and the kind of discretion that makes a chauffeur effectively invisible when the back of the car has become a moving office.
None of that is visible in an app rating. It shows up in the small things: a door opened, a bag taken without being asked, a route changed quietly because the chauffeur already knew the bridge was backed up.
Every way a chauffeur is booked
A private chauffeur service NYC residents book takes a few shapes. By the hour, held as-directed for a day with several stops. Point to point, flat-rated between two addresses. To and from the airport, with the inbound flight tracked. On a corporate account, billed centrally. The chauffeur and the standard are identical across all of them; only the way the time is bought changes.
So a private chauffeur service NYC visitors use for a single evening out is the same service a company runs for a whole season of executive travel — one garage, one standard, and a fare quoted before anyone sets off.
The same chauffeur, when you ask
One thing employment makes possible that a platform cannot: asking for the same chauffeur again. Regulars on an account are usually driven by the same two or three people, and a one-off repeat booking can request the driver from last time. We roster to it where the schedule allows — it is a request rather than a promise, because a chauffeur already committed elsewhere at that hour is simply unavailable.
It is a small thing that turns out to matter: a chauffeur who already knows your building, your preferences and your usual flight is a different experience from a car that has never met you.
How booking a chauffeur works
Enter the pickup, the drop-off and the time in the form at the top of the page and a quote comes back in about a minute, each vehicle that fits priced beside the others with the tolls and the chauffeur's gratuity already inside the figure. Choose one and add a card to confirm; the card is not charged unless the pickup is inside 24 hours, and otherwise the charge goes through 24 to 48 hours ahead of it.
Between the booking and the pickup a person stays reachable at any hour, because dispatch is staffed around the clock every day of the year — so a changed plan is a phone call rather than a cancellation and a fresh booking.
Good to know
NYC chauffeur service questions, answered.
What is a chauffeur service?
A professional chauffeur and a prepared vehicle, reserved in advance for your exclusive use, with the price agreed before the journey. The chauffeur is trained for passenger service as well as driving, which is the difference between a chauffeur service and a car hailed from an app.
What does a chauffeur do that a rideshare driver does not?
A rideshare driver drives. A chauffeur handles the whole journey: presentation, the door, luggage, discretion, and a schedule that may have several stops. They are trained and employed for passenger service, assigned to your booking in advance, and accountable to a company — not matched to you at the moment you tap a screen.
Are your chauffeurs employees or contractors?
Employees. They are on our payroll, background-checked and trained by us, and they drive vehicles we own. We do not broker work out to contractors bringing their own cars, which is why the same chauffeurs recur on an account and why standards can be set and enforced.
How are your chauffeurs vetted and trained?
Every chauffeur is background-checked before they drive for us and trained beyond the standard licence — defensive driving, passenger service and city knowledge. Presentation is part of the role: suit and tie, the vehicle detailed first, and discretion throughout.
Can I request the same chauffeur each time?
Often, yes. Because the chauffeurs are employees, a repeat booking can ask for the driver from last time and we roster to it where the schedule allows; on corporate and standing accounts that continuity is the normal arrangement. It is a request rather than a guarantee, since a chauffeur already committed elsewhere at that hour cannot be in two places.
What should I expect from the chauffeur on the day?
A clean, prepared vehicle arriving on time; a chauffeur in a suit who handles luggage and opens the door; discretion for calls and conversations in the car; and route decisions made quietly around the traffic rather than announced. If anything changes, you get a phone call, not a cancelled job.
Is a chauffeur booked by the hour or by the trip?
Either. A day with several stops or real waiting is booked hourly, as-directed, with the vehicle held for the block. A journey between two known addresses is flat-rated point to point. Describe the day and the desk will say which comes out lower; the chauffeur and the standard are the same in both.
Do you provide chauffeurs for corporate accounts?
Yes. A company account is billed centrally and usually served by the same small group of chauffeurs, so an executive sees familiar faces and finance sees one invoice instead of a stack of receipts. Standing arrangements for regular travel are kept on file.
Are your chauffeurs and vehicles licensed and insured?
Yes. We are a licensed New York ground-transportation provider carrying commercial passenger insurance on every vehicle in the fleet, and the chauffeurs are employees we background-check and train.
Do you provide chauffeur service outside New York City?
Yes. Beyond the five boroughs we cover Westchester, Long Island, northern New Jersey and Connecticut, with daily airport runs to JFK, LaGuardia, Newark and Teterboro. Longer trips such as Boston, Philadelphia and the Hamptons are quoted as directed.
At a glance
NYC chauffeur service at a glance
- A chauffeur service is a professional driver and a prepared vehicle booked in advance for you alone — but the word that matters is chauffeur, not car. A chauffeur is trained for the journey itself: presentation, discretion, luggage, a schedule with several stops, and knowing which door of a building to wait at.
- Golden Class Limo's NYC chauffeur service is staffed by chauffeurs we employ — background-checked, trained and in a suit — driving an all-black fleet we own, across the five boroughs, Westchester, Long Island, New Jersey and Connecticut.
- Because the chauffeurs are employees rather than a pool of app contractors, the same faces recur on an account, a driver can be briefed before your day starts, and a repeat booking can ask for the chauffeur who drove last time.
- They drive every way the fleet is booked: by the hour as-directed, point to point between two addresses, to and from the airport with the flight tracked, and on corporate accounts billed centrally.
- Licensed, commercially insured and answered by a person at any hour on (718) 360-9383, rated 4.7 stars from 300-plus Google reviews with more than 3,100 clients carried.
