Prices are what each company published on its own website when we checked in November 2026. They change, and taxes, tolls and gratuity are handled differently by each company, so confirm the total in writing before you book.
Teterboro in New Jersey is the best-known private-jet airport near Manhattan, but it isn’t the only option. Depending on where you live and where the aircraft is based, a flight may use Westchester (HPN), Long Island MacArthur (ISP) or Republic in Farmingdale, which calls itself Long Island’s executive airport. The car service has to cover the field you actually use.
Private aviation asks more of a car service than an airline pickup. Arrival times move with the passenger, the meeting point is an FBO rather than a terminal curb, and staff and guests need one vehicle, not three. We ranked seven companies on coverage of these four fields, FBO handling, group and first-class vehicles, published pricing and booking terms.
We used only what each company states on its own website, checked in November 2026. No company paid for placement. Confirm the FBO, vehicle and total in writing before wheels-up.
Our top pick for 2026
1. TrueNorth VIP — Best for published fares from three private-flight airports
Hourly from $110/hr · JFK to Times Square from $176, all-in
TrueNorth VIP ranks first because it puts prices on three of the four fields: Teterboro, Westchester and MacArthur, each to Times Square in four vehicle classes. An Executive Sedan is $162 from TEB, $216 from HPN and $287 from ISP; a Luxury Sedan is $284, $380 and $487. Taxes, tolls and fees are included and gratuity is optional.
For a flight department that books the ground leg alongside fuel and catering, a published all-in price is one less quote to chase. A base fare with tolls and fees added later can’t be locked in the same way, and we won’t guess at those extras; TrueNorth’s figure is the one you approve. Groups get the 10-passenger Jet Sprinter or the 13-passenger Executive Sprinter, quoted on request.
The rest supports a principal’s schedule. Dispatch runs 24/7, flights are tracked, and the chauffeur waits 60 minutes after a domestic landing and 90 after an international one. A $150 dedicated greeter or a $25 meet and greet can be added, and regular pickups carry a 15-minute grace period. TrueNorth holds a 5.0 Google rating from 49 reviews.
Key facts
- Published fares from TEB, HPN and ISP to Times Square
- Executive Sedan $162 (TEB), $216 (HPN), $287 (ISP); taxes, tolls and fees included
- Jet Sprinter (10) and Executive Sprinter (13), quoted on request
- 24/7 dispatch; 5.0 on Google from 49 reviews (November 2026)

The downside
Republic Airport isn’t in TrueNorth’s published table, so a Farmingdale arrival needs a quote, and its site doesn’t spell out FBO procedures. The Jet Sprinter is quoted rather than priced. Ask how the greeter works at your FBO before the flight.
Best for: Published fares from three private-flight airports.
2. Artisan Limo — Best for private aviation across seven U.S. markets
Price shown before booking · Sprinters and coaches quoted
Artisan Limo lists private aviation as one of its services and runs a Jet Sprinter for 8 to 10 passengers next to Executive Sprinters, Escalade ESVs and sedans. Its seven markets include South Florida, Las Vegas and Los Angeles, so one account can meet the same principal in New York and at the other end of the flight.
Pricing follows its usual rule: the price is shown before booking with required charges included, and Sprinter and coach trips are quoted in writing. Wait is counted from wheels-down, 60 minutes domestic and 90 international, and requests are taken online and by phone 24/7.
Key facts
- Jet Sprinter (8-10), Executive Sprinter (about 13), Escalade ESV
- Seven U.S. markets, including South Florida, Las Vegas and Los Angeles
- Sprinters quoted in writing; gratuity optional
- 60 minutes domestic, 90 international, from wheels-down
Best for: Private aviation across seven U.S. markets.
3. Black Car NYC — Best for Republic Airport and FBO coordination
Sedan $110/hr, 3-hour minimum · Airport fares quoted
Black Car NYC is the only company here that names Republic Airport in Farmingdale, and it also serves Teterboro and Westchester. Standard FBO coordination carries no separate fee, while meet and greet at commercial terminals is $25. For an operator flying between Long Island and New Jersey fields, one company covering both is useful.
Its first-class sedans are S-Class or 7 Series, SUVs are Escalade or Yukon for up to six, and the Sprinter seats 14. Each transfer is priced from the itinerary and confirmed in writing, and a cancellation 24 hours ahead gets a full refund, 48 hours for groups.
Key facts
- Serves Republic (Farmingdale), Teterboro and Westchester
- No separate fee for standard FBO coordination
- First-class sedans (S-Class or 7 Series) and a 14-passenger Sprinter
- Itinerary pricing; confirmed in writing; full refund 24 hours ahead
Best for: Republic Airport and FBO coordination.
4. EmpireCLS — Best for early arrivals for wheels-up departures
EmpireCLS schedules chauffeurs to arrive 15 minutes before pickup, which suits departures where the aircraft waits on the passenger but the passenger shouldn’t wait on the car. Its fleet lists S550 sedans and Escalades, with limousines and motor coaches for larger groups, and its network spans more than 1,000 cities. Rates are priced through its reservation system.
Best for: Early arrivals for wheels-up departures.
5. Dial 7 — Best for TEB, HPN and ISP coverage from one large fleet
Dial 7 lists Teterboro, Westchester and MacArthur among its airports, so it covers three of the four fields here. Its 600-plus vehicles include Select VIP sedans and SUVs, Sprinters and minibuses, and it has operated from TLC base B00887 since 1977. Published airport rates exclude tolls, gratuity and fees, and FBO handling isn’t described, so ask.
Best for: TEB, HPN and ISP coverage from one large fleet.
6. Blacklane — Best for arranging the car at the far end of a private trip
Blacklane is most useful at the other end of a private flight. It lists 500-plus cities in 64-plus countries, so a car can be booked in the same app for New York and for wherever the jet lands. Airport transfers include 1 hour of complimentary wait and the price appears at booking. It doesn’t describe FBO procedures, so confirm the pickup point.
Best for: Arranging the car at the far end of a private trip.
7. Carmel — Best for a backup car for staff heading into the city
Carmel isn’t set up around private aviation; its stated area is New York City and its airports, and it doesn’t mention FBOs. Where it helps is a quick app booking for staff heading into the city, drawn from an affiliated fleet of 800-plus vehicles. Quotes vary by time of day and sometimes exclude tolls.
Best for: A backup car for staff heading into the city.
