When you book car service online with JetBlack, the entire trip is arranged before you leave: the vehicle, the pickup time, and the price. Online reservations cover airport transfers at JFK, LGA, and EWR, city-to-city rides, hourly charters, corporate travel, and event transportation across the New York area. Prefer a human voice? A live dispatcher answers around the clock at +1 646 214 4828, and WhatsApp booking is available too.

This page explains exactly how to book car service online with us — how the reservation works, the terms attached to every booking, and the real rates — so nothing between the quote and the receipt comes as a surprise.

How to Book Car Service Online in 3 Steps

1. Choose your vehicle and route. Pick from nine vehicle classes — from the Economy Sedan to the Stretch Limo — and enter pickup, drop-off, date, and time. For airport pickups, add your flight number: that switches on free live flight monitoring.
2. See your price. The quote is built from the published hourly and per-mile rates below. Prices shown during booking are preliminary; the final cost is confirmed via email by one of our representatives before anything is charged.
3. Confirm and ride. An authorization hold is placed on your card during the reservation, but your card is not charged until you confirm. Your chauffeur is then dispatched with your full trip details, including terminal and flight information for airport pickups.

Booking Terms Worth Knowing Before You Confirm

Every JetBlack reservation runs on clear, published terms — the same ones our phone dispatchers explain:

• What the rate covers — and what it doesn’t. The displayed rate does not include tolls, waiting time, or additional stops. Tax, gratuity, and service fees are also extra, and they’re itemized before your final confirmation, never slipped in afterward.
• GPS-tracked billing. All rides are tracked by GPS so the fee reflects the actual journey.
• Meet & Greet billing. If you choose inside pickup, parking and waiting time are calculated at the trip’s conclusion and charged to the card on file.
• Cancellation. A $25 cancellation fee applies to confirmed reservations. Special occasions and specialty vehicles are handled case by case, and the standard 24-hour rule may not apply to them. Note that the $5 voucher fee is non-refundable.

By booking — online, by phone, or through the app — you agree to the company’s full terms and conditions, including consent for JetBlack to reach you by email, text, phone, or push notification about your reservation.

Real Hourly Car Service Rates, Published Before You Book

Our hourly rates are public — the same numbers quoted on the phone. When you book car service online by the hour, the minimums are shown upfront:

• Economy Sedan — $45/hour, 3-hour minimum ($135 minimum charter)
• Luxury Sedan — $55/hour, 3-hour minimum
• Premium Sedan — $100/hour, 3-hour minimum
• Economy SUV — $72/hour, 3-hour minimum
• Luxury SUV — $80/hour, 3-hour minimum — three hours comes to $240
• Economy Van — $120/hour, 4-hour minimum
• Luxury Van (Mercedes Sprinter) — $130/hour, 4-hour minimum
• Executive Luxury Van — $150/hour, 3-hour minimum, with a table-equipped interior for meetings on the move
• Stretch Limousine — $144/hour, 4-hour minimum

For groups, our 24-, 34-, and 56-passenger buses — and the top-tier super-luxury Sprinter build — are quoted individually, since pricing depends on route, date, and itinerary. Contact us for a quote and you’ll get a firm number. Browse the full lineup on our fleet page.

Gratuity is not included in our rates; we recommend 20% to your driver. Every rate on this page excludes tolls, the driver’s tip, extra governmental fees, and on-trip amenities — all calculated and shown before your final confirmation.

Point-to-Point Pricing Without the Mystery

For direct rides that don’t fit an hourly charter, each vehicle carries published per-mile charges. The Economy Sedan lists $44.00 for the first mile, $0.80 to $2.40 per mile through the middle distance tiers, and $1.60 per mile on long legs; a Luxury SUV lists $90.00 for the first mile and $2.00 to $3.80 per mile across its tiers.

A worked example: an Economy Sedan from LGA to Riverhead — about 60 miles — prices at $144 one-way under the published tiers, before tolls, tip, and fees. Your online quote applies the tiers to your exact route and shows the final total before you confirm.

Popular airport routes also carry flat-rate offers, including the JFK–Manhattan economy flat from $65 — with no surge pricing, ever. Flat rates carry the same exclusions as hourly and per-mile pricing.

Airport Transfers With Live Flight Monitoring

When you reserve airport car service with JetBlack, every pickup includes live flight monitoring: we track your flight and dispatch your chauffeur based on the actual arrival time, not the scheduled one. Complimentary waiting time is 30 minutes for domestic flights and 60 minutes for international flights — the extra hour covers baggage claim and customs.

You choose how you’re met:

• Rush Pickup — expedited curbside collection: the quickest and most budget-friendly option. You contact the chauffeur by text or phone for immediate curbside pickup outside your terminal.
• Meet and Greet — the chauffeur waits inside the arrivals hall holding a name sign and walks you to the vehicle, parking securely where facilities allow. A fee covers the service plus parking.

Need a looser schedule? The Delay Pickup option dispatches the chauffeur 30 minutes after the scheduled arrival, on top of the complimentary waiting time — 60 minutes total for domestic flights, 90 minutes for international. After the grace period, waiting is billed at $1 per minute.

New York-area airports assess a Port Authority for-hire pickup and drop-off fee (currently $3.50, per the Port Authority of NY & NJ), which appears on your quote as a governmental fee — not buried in the fare.

City-to-City Rides and Hourly Trips

For intercity travel, our city-to-city service is the hassle-free answer to getting between cities without driving yourself — popular with corporate travelers who need to arrive punctual and work-ready. For anything less linear, hourly trips put you in charge of the itinerary: design your own city tour, stack multiple stops across the boroughs, or keep a car on standby between meetings. When you book car service online by the hour, the chauffeur and vehicle stay with you for the full block you reserved.

Corporate Travel and Event Transportation

Our corporate transportation pairs executive vehicles with professional chauffeurs and punctual dispatch — built for the moments when arrival matters, from board meetings to investor roadshows. The table-equipped Executive Luxury Van turns travel time into meeting time for teams on the move, and companies that travel regularly can set up corporate billing through our dispatch team.

Event organizers get the same treatment at scale: conferences, galas, weddings, and special gatherings with a range of vehicles matched to the guest count, all coordinated around your schedule. Tell us the headcount and the timeline when you reserve, and we’ll recommend the right mix of vehicles.

Pets and Car Seats Ride Too

JetBlack is pet-friendly — your furry companions are welcome aboard. For everyone’s safety and to keep the vehicles in top condition, we ask for your pet’s weight when you book: it lets us recommend a more spacious vehicle when needed, so a large dog isn’t squeezed into a sedan built for three.

Traveling with little ones? We provide car seats for infants, toddlers, and booster-age children up to 5 years old for a small fee. Request the seats during your reservation and our chauffeurs — trained in proper installation — will have the right ones fitted before pickup.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance should I book car service online?

As early as you like — reservations are open months out, which we recommend for weddings, holidays, and large groups. For airport pickups, booking when your flights are ticketed is ideal so flight monitoring attaches from the start. Same-day reservations are often possible, subject to vehicle availability.

Is the price I see when I book car service online the final price?

Prices shown during booking are preliminary; the final cost is confirmed via email by one of our representatives before you’re charged. The confirmed total won’t shift with traffic or demand. Tolls, the driver’s tip (20% recommended), extra governmental fees such as the Port Authority airport fee, and on-trip amenities are itemized before your final confirmation.

When is my card actually charged?

An authorization hold is placed on your card during the reservation, but the card is not charged until you confirm the final cost with our representative. For Meet & Greet pickups, parking and waiting time are calculated at the trip’s end and charged to the card on file.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

As long as you provided your flight number, we monitor it live and your chauffeur adjusts to the actual arrival — the delay doesn’t cost you the ride. You still get 30 minutes of free waiting on domestic flights and 60 on international. Expecting a long baggage-claim or customs delay? Choose Delay Pickup when you reserve: it adds 30 minutes to the free window, for 60 minutes domestic or 90 international total.

What’s the difference between Rush Pickup and Meet and Greet?

Rush Pickup is expedited curbside service — fastest and cheapest, with the chauffeur meeting you outside the terminal after you text or call. Meet and Greet puts the chauffeur inside the arrivals hall with a name sign; the fee covers the service plus parking. Both include flight monitoring and the standard free waiting time.

Can I bring my dog or cat?

Yes — JetBlack is pet-friendly. Share your pet’s weight during the reservation so we can match the right vehicle: small pets in carriers ride fine in a sedan, while bigger dogs travel more comfortably in an SUV or van.

Do you provide car seats for children?

Yes. We supply car seats for infants, toddlers, and booster-age children up to 5 years old for a small fee. Request them when you book car service online so the correct seats are installed before your chauffeur arrives.

What is your cancellation policy?

Confirmed reservations carry a $25 cancellation fee; the $5 voucher fee is non-refundable. Special occasions and specialty vehicles are handled case by case, and the standard 24-hour rule may not apply to them. To change or cancel, call +1 646 214 4828 or message us on WhatsApp.
