Majestic Transportation Services & Limo Inc.
Our Hudson Valley hourly car service puts a vehicle and a chauffeur at your disposal for a block of time instead of a single ride. Your driver waits while you are inside, takes you to the next address when you are ready, and stays with you until the booking ends. Stops are part of hourly service, so you are paying for time, not for each address on your list.
That makes hourly booking the simple answer for days that do not fit a straight line: a run of meetings in three towns, an afternoon of shopping, a dinner where nobody knows when dessert will end. You keep the same driver all day, and nobody in your party has to drive, park or look up directions.
When you reserve, we need a start time, the first pickup address, the number of passengers and a rough idea of the day. The plan does not have to be final. We arrive at the first address, stay close to each stop and are ready to move when you come back out.
During the booking you decide the order of the day. You can add an address, skip one, or stay longer at lunch. A few practical points keep the day predictable:
Many outings are better as a simple one-way or round-trip transfer. The difference comes down to how many addresses you have and how long a vehicle would otherwise sit idle.
| One-way or round trip | Hourly service | |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | One pickup, one destination | Several addresses, open-ended timing |
| Extra stops | Cost extra unless discussed at booking | Included in the booked time |
| Your chauffeur between stops | Leaves after the drop-off | Stays with you |
| What sets the price | The route and the vehicle | The hours and the vehicle |
A flight out of Stewart or JFK is usually a one-way booking through our airport car service; if you need a quick stop on the way, mention it when you reserve. Once the day has three or more destinations, or an end time you cannot predict, the hourly model usually works out simpler.
Say you are showing a visiting partner three sites around Newburgh, then lunch in Beacon across the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge, then a late meeting in White Plains. With an hourly booking the same chauffeur handles all of it, and you can take calls in the back seat between meetings. Recurring airport runs for executives and client pickups fit better under our executive car service.
An outlet day at Woodbury Common Premium Outlets, the Central Valley shopping center in the town of Woodbury, makes a classic hourly day: shopping bags go back to the SUV between stores, and the SUV meets you at the exit you choose. The same approach suits a museum day at Dia Beacon or Storm King Art Center followed by dinner. Farther up the river, a Saturday among the antique shops and galleries of Warren Street works the same way when you want car service in Hudson, NY, without hunting for parking between blocks: the chauffeur waits nearby and comes back for you.
Hourly car service in New York City makes sense for a day of appointments, when you would rather not think about parking between them or the drive home afterward. Barbara G. thanked our chauffeur in her Google review for “making what is usually a very stressful trip into NYC, a pleasant one”, which is the whole point of keeping one chauffeur for the day.
An evening with a restaurant, a show and a late drink is easier when no one is watching the clock for a ride home, and a birthday or anniversary built around that kind of night out on the town can run in a limo bus. Tasting days follow the same pattern of one driver moving with you, whether it is a day at local wineries or two campus tours in one day with our college transportation.
The right vehicle depends on the size of your party and on how often everyone gets in and out. One or two travelers are comfortable in a sedan or the Lincoln Aviator, which takes up to three. A family of up to six, with room for the outlet bags, fits the Chevrolet Suburban. Parties of up to 14 move to the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, and a celebration rather than a day of errands suits a Sprinter limo bus for 12 or 14.
For payment, a sedan or SUV booked by the hour is charged the day before service, 24 hours ahead. A van or limo bus is secured with a 25% deposit when you reserve, and the remainder is collected 30 days before your date.
Yes. Stops are part of hourly service, so you only need to tell the chauffeur. Keep in mind that the booked time still applies: if an extra stop pushes the day past your hours, the added time is billed, and any toll or parking fee from that stop is added afterward.
Let the chauffeur know as early as you can. If we can stay with you, the extra time is added to your bill. Booking a little more time than you expect to need is often easier than extending on the spot.
Yes. Our service area covers the Hudson Valley and the wider tri-state area, so a booking can begin in Orange County and finish in Manhattan or in Connecticut. Tell us the last stop when you reserve so we can plan the chauffeur’s return.
As close to the door as local parking rules allow. At a mall, a museum or a restaurant, tell the chauffeur roughly how long you expect to be and which entrance you will use; where the curb is off limits, the SUV or van waits a short distance away and returns to that entrance once you are ready to leave.
Send us the start time, the first pickup, the stops you already know about and the size of your party through our request a quote form, and our dispatch team will match the vehicle and the number of hours to your day. If you would rather work out the hours with a person, call (877) 811-8400; an outline of the day sent to majestic@mtslimousine.com works too.
