SoHo Car Service: What You Need to Know
A SoHo car service ride is booked ahead with one all-in price, so you know the cost before the car arrives. Give the cross street and the storefront or building number, choose a vehicle for your group and bags, and your chauffeur meets you there. Rides go to the airports, Midtown, Brooklyn and beyond.
SoHo sits inside the Congestion Relief Zone, so any per-trip congestion charge is already in your price. SoHo trips use the same booking, vehicles and policies as the rest of Manhattan. We meet arriving private flights at JFK, Newark, Teterboro (TEB), Westchester (HPN), Republic (FRG), Long Island MacArthur (ISP), Morristown (MMU), East Hampton (HTO), Gabreski in Westhampton Beach (FOK) and Trenton-Mercer (TTN). Your chauffeur meets you in the FBO lobby, or planeside when the FBO allows it.
SoHo Coverage Zones
We cover every block in SoHo, from the Broadway shopping corridor to West Broadway and the quieter side streets of the historic district. The main thing that helps your chauffeur find you is a clear pickup point: the cross street, the side of the street and the shop or building number.
| SoHo zone | Pickup tip |
|---|---|
| Broadway shopping corridor | Name the cross street and the store, since Broadway carries heavy traffic |
| West Broadway | Give the restaurant or building number and the nearest corner |
| Historic district side streets | Give the building number and the corner you will wait at |
| Hotels | Use the hotel's front entrance and add the hotel name |
Nearby neighborhoods
SoHo borders several areas we also serve, including Tribeca to the south and Greenwich Village to the north. Trips that start in one neighborhood and end in another are booked the same way.
Cast Iron Historic District
Much of SoHo is a protected historic district known for its cast iron buildings, with narrow side streets lined with shops and galleries. For a car, that means a clear cross street matters more than an address alone. Tell us the corner you will stand at, and your chauffeur plans the approach.
Why cross streets matter here
Many Manhattan side streets are one-way, and a building number alone can leave a car on the wrong side of a block. Add the nearest corner in your booking notes, for example "Broadway and Spring Street, northeast corner", and you will be easier to find on a busy afternoon.
Pickup notes example
A good SoHo pickup note is short and specific. For example: "Two passengers, one carry-on each. Waiting outside the store on the east side of Broadway, just north of Spring Street. Phone number in the booking." Notes like this help the chauffeur pull up at the right spot the first time.

Shopping-Day Car Service
For a shopping day in SoHo, hourly service keeps one car and chauffeur with you between stores, with a 3-hour minimum. Bags stay in the car while you shop, and the chauffeur meets you at the next corner you name. It works like having a private driver for the afternoon. For large purchases, choose an SUV, which seats 6 and has more room for bags and boxes than a sedan. Hourly rates start at $110 per hour for an Executive Sedan.
| Vehicle class | Hourly rate | Minimum booking |
|---|---|---|
| Executive Sedan | $110 per hour | 3 hours |
| Executive SUV | $130 per hour | 3 hours |
| Luxury SUV | $150 per hour | 3 hours |
| Luxury Sedan | $180 per hour | 3 hours |
| Executive Sprinter and Jet Sprinter | Quote on request | 3 hours |

Plan your store loop
List your stops in order before the day starts and share them with the chauffeur. Group stores by street so the car can wait on one block while you walk to the next. Call 888-887-0324 to ask about adding time once your trip has started. See hourly chauffeur service.
Dining & Night Pickups
SoHo is busy at night, and a booked car means you do not have to hail one outside a full restaurant. Book a pickup for the time you expect to leave, or book hourly so the car waits nearby while you eat. Give the restaurant name and the cross street in your notes. For a special dinner, request a luxury ride in a Luxury Sedan or Luxury SUV.
| Night out plan | Booking |
|---|---|
| Dinner, then home | Pickup time set for when you expect to leave |
| Dinner and a second stop | Hourly, 3-hour minimum |
| Group of up to 6 | Executive SUV or Luxury SUV |
Every regular pickup has a 15-minute grace period, after which waiting time applies. If dinner runs long, text or call the chauffeur to set a new pickup time, and on hourly bookings call 888-887-0324 to ask about adding time.
