New York Lımo

About

Three decades on New York streets.

We started moving people around New York City before Uber existed. We'll be doing it after Uber is renamed twice more. The standard hasn't moved. Neither will we.

Our story

New York Limo was founded in 1992 in Queens by a family that had been driving black cars in the city for two generations before that. We started with a single sedan and a phone in a kitchen. The first customer was a doctor going to Newark. He still rides with us.

Three decades later, we run a fleet that ranges from S-Class sedans to 56-passenger motorcoaches, dispatch around the clock from two operations centers, and move tens of thousands of riders a year between the five boroughs, the tri-state, and the airports that connect them to everywhere else. The business has grown — the standard hasn't.

We don't use subcontractors. The car you booked is the car that shows up, dispatched by the people who answered your call, driven by a chauffeur who works for us — not a rideshare app wearing our name for the trip.

How we work

Four standards, no exceptions.

Pricing varies, vehicles vary, the route varies. These four don't.

Chauffeurs

Vetted, trained, accountable.

  • Background-checked and drug-tested at hire and annually after
  • Minimum 5 years professional driving experience required
  • Annual safety + customer-service recertification
  • Formal black-tie dress code; English fluency required

Vehicles

Maintained like aircraft.

  • Detailed daily; full mechanical inspection weekly
  • Retired before age dulls the rider experience
  • Wi-Fi, climate, USB charging, bottled water in every car
  • $5M+ commercial liability coverage on every vehicle

Dispatch

Humans, not menus.

  • 24/7 dispatch with at least two operators on duty
  • Multilingual support: English, Spanish, Urdu
  • Real-time flight tracking on every airport reservation
  • Saved rider profiles for repeat customers and corporate accounts

Communication

You know who, when, and where.

  • SMS confirmation at booking and reminder before pickup
  • Chauffeur name + photo sent before arrival
  • Live GPS tracking link on the day of the ride
  • Direct line to your chauffeur — no third-party app

By the numbers

A footprint, in plain terms.

New York Limo runs at a scale most riders don't see. The dispatcher who picks up your call has six other lines blinking — and they remember your name.

On the way we work

“The point isn't that we have a car for every situation. The point is that on the worst day of your week, the car shows up first, and the rest takes care of itself.”
