Black car rental is a phrase that misleads, because JetBlack does not rent cars. There is no counter, no key handover, and no vehicle you drive yourself. What JetBlack provides is a chauffeured black car service: a professional chauffeur, a vehicle booked by class, and a written quote. If you need to drive yourself, a rental company is the right call. If you want to be driven in a black car, that is the service described here.
Chauffeured, Not Rented: What Changes
With a rental, you take the driving, the navigation, the parking, and the fuel. With a chauffeured booking, the chauffeur takes all of it, and the price basis is either an hourly rate or a per-trip written quote agreed before travel. Flight tracking is included on airport trips, so a delayed arrival does not turn into a missed pickup — though you should confirm when the grace period clock starts. The default pickup is express curbside; meet and greet is an extra, confirmed at booking.
Black Car Pricing, Stated Honestly
The published hourly ladder runs from an economy sedan at $45 per hour with a three-hour minimum, through a stretch limousine at $144 per hour with a four-hour minimum, and a standard Sprinter at $130 per hour. Larger buses and the super-luxury Sprinter are quoted per trip in writing. Every quote is given before tolls, tip, and governmental fees, and gratuity is not included — a 20% tip is recommended. From JFK to Manhattan, the economy route fare is $65, quoted before tolls, tip, and governmental fees; larger vehicles cost more.

Choosing the Right Vehicle Class
- Sedan: solo travelers and couples, airport trips and evenings out, when luggage is light.
- SUV: families and small groups with luggage, or trips where space matters.
- Van or Sprinter: groups of 6 or more, weddings, and events where one vehicle beats two cars.
- Stretch limousine: celebrations. Stretch limousines seat 6 to 25 depending on the vehicle — confirm the headcount against the class.
JetBlack books by vehicle class, not by guaranteed make or model. A page that lists BMW, Mercedes, Cadillac, or Hummer models as a guaranteed fleet is overstating the booking: what is sold is the class, and the class is what the written quote should name.
Booking and Cancellation
Confirm the pickup address and time, the vehicle class, the rate basis, and the waiting plan in writing. Free cancellation applies before confirmation. After confirmation, cancellation is $31 in total: a $25 fee plus $5 in fees plus a $1 technology fee. Flight-detail changes are the client’s responsibility to communicate, and a change is only real once dispatch confirms it.
