1 hour included waiting time on all domestic and international flight arrivals is included on all airport pickups. After 1 hour from the confirmed landing time, waiting time will be billed in increments of 30 minutes rounded up to the nearest half hour interval at the hourly rate for that vehicle plus gratuity, sales tax and STC.
15 minutes included waiting time on all private flights from “wheels down” time. Waiting time will be billed in increments of 30 minutes rounded up to the nearest half hour interval at the hourly rate for that vehicle plus gratuity, sales tax and STC.
Customers are allowed 15 included minutes waiting time as a “grace period” from the scheduled pickup time. Thereafter, waiting time is calculated in 15 minute intervals by prorating the current hourly rate for the vehicle type requested. Below is an example of waiting time charges:
0 – 15 minutes No Charge
16 – 30 minutes ½ hour waiting time
31 – 45 minutes ¾ hour waiting time
46 – 60 minutes 1 hour waiting time
Charges for Additional Stops are generally $10-25 depending upon the distance traveled. Typically, stops within the same suburban town are $10 each and stops at other towns along the way are $25.

Stops in another county or borough will be charged based on the actual service.
Trips to/from Manhattan below 14th Street are an additional $15 added to the base rate.

The Surface Transportation Charge (STC) is a surcharge calculated on the base fare to offset various increases in operational and administrative expenses such as employee payroll & benefits, Workers Compensation Insurance, vehicle insurance, licensing fees, technology & communication expenses, rent and property tax increases. These increases in costs have been included in the STC rather than increasing the base fare and hourly rate for each trip.
March 2022 UPDATE: Due to the recent steady increase in gasoline prices over the past few months, we have instituted an additional fuel surcharge. We will continue to monitor gasoline prices and other costs and reserve the right to adjust the Fuel Surcharge, upward or downward, as appropriate.
For Sedan, SUV, Transit Van, and Stretch Limousine, recommended 20% of the base fare and 20% of any waiting time and stops (if applicable).
For Luxury Sprinter and Bus, recommended 15% of the base far and 15% of any waiting time and stops (if applicable).
