Why Book Luxury Transportation Instead of Driving Yourself?
LUXURY TRANSPORTATION | NYC | NJ
FOUR WORDS HAVE NEVER MATCHED SO WELL.
If you're from NYC / NJ , you know what it is like in the Morning going to work. Or the airport. Or to the shore. Or going anywhere. The Parkway, the Turnpike, I-95, the Bridges, the Airports...
They all equal 1 one thing...TRAFFIC!!!
Also some people like to drive themselves, I know a few people. Yet we can all agree that the majority of people driving on the roads should most likely not be driving. Finally, that's why there is Luxury Ride USA.
HERE'S 4 REASONS WHY BOOKING A LUXURY TRANSPORTATION SERVICE IS RIGHT FOR YOU!
SCHEDULE
First of all, the most obvious reason why a Luxury Transportation service is a good call is because of busy schedules. While work can get very real, those extra thirty minutes during your car ride may be more well spent in the back seat typing up that last report! Therefore, we believe firmly in not being distracted while you drive - so let us drive.
CONVENIENCE
NYC
In addition to Schedule, Convenience is a close-second. And I want YOU to show me the legend who actually likes dealing with traffic and rushing - because I am 99% sure he or she does not exist. Traffic is known to bring out the
worst in people, even the holiest of men. Most noteworthy, Luxury Ride USA wants you to be the best you can be - and we want to help anyway we can!
NJ
IMAGE
Especially relevant, if there is one thing that supports our foundation of business - it is image. Image is defined as a noun that is "a representation of the external form of a person or a thing in art". Furthermore, if you are a player in the business world or hospitality industry, then you understand that it does, indeed, matter what people think. Your work is a big deal. Therefore, it is important to treat your work with the respect and attention it deserves.
LUXURY
In conclusion, I think we can all agree that the most important reason is an adjective in our company name: luxury. It is a humble thing when things are done for you. Life takes you all kinds of place that may stress you out, cause you trouble, overwhelm you. But no matter what it is, we overcome. As a result, taking a load off and relaxing every now and again is part of that process. Life can get wild, there's no reason why your ride should be.

7 Things You Should Ask Before Booking a Luxury Limo Service
MOST EVENTS THAT MEAN ANYTHING GO DOWN IN NYC. IN ORDER TO GET TO THESE EVENTS, YOU NEED TRANSPORT. BOOKING A LUXURY LIMO SERVICE IN NYC CAN GET STRESSFUL - ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE ARE SO MANY VENDORS OUT THERE.
LUXURY RIDE USA HAS COMPILED A LIST OF 7 QUESTIONS THAT MUST BE ASKED WHEN YOUR SEARCH FOR A LUXURY LIMO SERVICE BEGINS...
IS THERE A LUXURY REPUTATION?
First of all, at the end of the day, a Luxury Limo Service falls under the "Customer Service Industry". Therefore, The backbone of our business relies on us doing a great job. We encourage all of our passengers to write us a honest review. Every Customer Service company should aspire for such. Reviews are a full-proof way of sizing up your soon-to-be-purchase. We recommend looking at companies who have 100+ reviews. This way, you know for a fact their older brother is not writing all the reviews. Luxury Ride USA particularly likes Yelp & Google Reviews.
IS THE VENDOR STAFFED & IS THE STAFF TRAINED?
Sure, it's quite easy for a Luxury Limo Service in NYC to hire a number of cheap Taxi Drivers who have been driving for a number of years. Easy labor, right? WRONG. And we are not here for just quantity, but quality most of all. A vendor should have your back in the scenario that they are understaffed. In addition, it is also crucial that their staff are certified CHAUFFEURS, not Taxi Drivers. All of Luxury Ride USA's drivers are trained, professional, seasoned Chauffeurs. Furthermore, our team knows the routes, roads, bridges, times, and patterns unlike any other Luxury Limo Service.
IS THE VENDOR HELPFUL?
When you pick up the phone to call this company, do you get an automation or a human? Is the help timely and convenient? As a result, do you feel like you were personally and genuinely taken care of? Opposite, were you just happy to hang up the phone? If they are based in NYC, can they provide useful insight that helps you plan your trip/ride? And were the internet sources the vendor provided helpful? At Luxury Ride USA, it is our goal to make your ride easiest ride you've taken to date. Most of all, we want you feeling satisfied and taken care of, not like you wasted money.
DOES THE VENDOR HAVE A TRUSTED FLEET?
We have seen many vendors throughout NYC talk a big game about all their Rolls-Royces and Bentley's. Finally, when a client calls to book, they will probably receive the classic response: "Oh, I'm sorry. That car is booked out already. But we can send you a Lincoln instead!"
Luxury Ride USA is proud of our extensive fleet. Therefore, we flaunt it frequently. And if you would like to see what we're talking about, you can check out our Fleet here & here for reference!
ARE YOU JUST TAKING A RIDE OR IS THERE MORE TO THE OFFER THAN MEETS THE EYE?
Are you allowed to see the cars before booking? How much insurance is there? In addition, does the insurance cover
you as a passenger and the vehicle? Do they fulfill special requests and routines? Does the company provide a binding contract, invoice, receipt, confirmation? How do you receive said document? Especially relevant, does the company's contract provide a binding reservation with Trip Info and the exact make/model of your vehicle? Our booking process at Luxury Ride USA is sometimes strange - we tend to ask more questions than our customers :). These are things that go into our prices and operations. Consequently, a Luxury Limo Service should be able to provide much more than just a ride down a few blocks.
HOW DO YOU PAY?
At Luxury Ride USA, we strongly suggest laying down a deposit. As a result, a binding agreement contract can be made with the vendor that assures your reservation. Furthermore, we try to be extremely accommodating to our passengers and want their experience to be as easy as possible. As a result, we try to figure out what kind of payment is easier for our client. Sometimes payment upfront occurs, other times we keep a balance. In conclusion, Luxury Ride will do whatever is easiest for our passenger.
*WHAT KIND OF INSURANCE DOES YOUR VENDOR CARRY?*
As mentioned briefly before, the Insurance provided by a vendor should cover the CAR & PASSENGER. Most noteworthy, customers should always ask about the policy that is enacted. At Luxury Ride USA, we try to make our $5 Million Umbrella Insurance known at the beginning of the booking. Furthermore, this policy is not because our drivers need it (which they never have, thank you very much!), but just so the passengers knows upfront that they are in good hands.

Luxury Channel EP #1: How to Choose a Luxury Car Service in NYC & Why Video is Important
How to Choose a Luxury Car Service in NYC:
Why Video is important
The Problem:
The over saturation of the Car Service Industry has caused a deep level of mistrust for the consumer, especially NYC.
Any average joe with moderate credit and access to the Internet can claim to be a Professional Transportation Company!
These Amateurs have tainted the Industry's name and lowered the expectations of the consumer.
4 WAYS AMATEURS HAVE TAINTED THE INDUSTRY:
1. Continuously Arriving Late
Why does your car arrive late? In our experience it is because of a lack of or breakdown of communication.
2. Using Old & Dirty Vehicles
Why does my Car Service send me old cars? Because quality is not high enough on their list of importance.
3. Lack Of or Poor Customer Service
Why does my driver make me feel uncomfortable? Lack of proper training and chauffeur education
4. Downright Dishonesty
Why does my provider tell me the car will be their in 5 minutes but it takes 25 minutes?
This has lead the Consumer to question "Why am I paying a premium for a Luxury Car Service and the vendor resembles a Taxi Service?"
How to Choose a Luxury Car Service in NYC:
The Solution:
VIDEO! Not all Transportation Companies are the same and video can prove it. The companies that take the time to educate their customers are the ones that are transparent. Meaning: the ones you can trust.
When you continually put the customer's best interest first, you do not have anything to hide. Video lets you get a behind-the-scenes peak into the operations systems used by top Luxury Car Service providers.
Now the Consumer has the opportunity to make an educated choice and control the level of service they receive because of the truth Video provides.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR? Look for companies with video's on how their operations system work. How their chauffeurs are trained, and the culture and vales their company represents.
In conclusion, If your Car Service provider is not using Video to showcase it's operations - it might be time for you to look for another Transportation Vendor!

4 Staging Tips for The High-Scale Events in NYC
EVENT PLANNING STRIVES FOR AN IMAGE OF SEAMLESS FINESSE. SMOOTH TRANSPORTATION IS A MUST TO ACHIEVE THIS - AND A MUST IN THE NYC NJ SCENE.
LUXURY RIDE ENJOYS WORKING WITH PEOPLE IN NYC OR NJ IN THE EVENT PLANNING OR TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY. WE LIKE SHARING OUR EXPERIENCE.
YVONNE CHOURINARD, FOUNDER OF PATAGONIA, ONCE SAID (PARAPHRASED), "IF YOU FIGURED OUT SOMETHING THAT WORKS, SHARE IT"
The Event Planning Industry, along with the Transportation Industry, is extremely competitive. Behind the scenes conflict are a norm, and colleagues can be shady. Luxury Ride promotes teamwork - and with that comes the sharing of knowledge.
We understand how crazy things can get, and how far off the ACTUAL can stray from the PLAN. We propose a solution: craft your 10/10 plan in such a way that leaves room for changes.
Map out the general tasks and be sure to achieve such; execution of the tasks are never static and must be adapted on the spot - it is almost impossible to predict exactly how an event will play out, especially in NYC or NJ.
LUXURY RIDE SPECIALIZES IN TRANSPORTATION IN NYC, NJ AND GLOBALLY. EVENT PLANNING IS OUR SECOND NATURE. THE FOUNDATION OF A GOOD EVENT RELIES ON "FLOW". THE "FLOW" IN TRANSPORTATION IS OPTIMAL WHEN STAGED. FOR THOSE OF YOU IN TRANSPORTATION, STAGING IS ONE OF THE MOST CRUCIAL FACTORS - YOU KNOW THIS.
LET'S GO OVER SOME FULL-PROOF LUXURY RIDE TIPS FOR PERFECT STAGING:
KNOW YOUR TROOPS
Make sure the drivers that are driving for you are your professionals; your Full-Timers. Chauffeurs who know the location, their job, the passenger, and what the passenger wants. When you are being supported by the foundation you have built, Staging will be easier since each car and chauffeur know exactly what they should be doing.
KNOW YOUR SURROUNDINGS
In New York City, knowing your location for a Transportation expert is KEY. Know where your cars are & how many. Know what routes they must take to arrive quickly or kill time if they can't park. Know what normally goes on on the street where a fleet may be on Stand-by. Know if there is a business or something of the sort operating on your stand-by street, and if you this will cause conflict with your plan.
KNOW YOUR EVENT
Try and gain knowledge regarding the event your servicing. Learn the Event's "Flow", and what it means to your "Flow". Although we try to all be on the same page when performing in the Event Planning Industry, things definitely get mixed up, so plan for that. It cannot always go your way. If the Party ends at 6 PM, have cars ready at 5PM for the early-birds & 8PM for the "heavy-partiers".
ALWAYS PAY ATTENTION & ALWAYS HAVE ALTERNATIVES
As mentioned, Event Planning gets wild. It is important, as a leader, to be paying attention to everything. When I say everything, I MEAN EVERYTHING. Find a problem before it becomes a problem, adapt quickly. If something happens that destroys your plan - have another plan ready to set in action. Car accident on your Staging Block causing traffic? Move cars out immediately to back-up Staging spot. Guests leaving early? VIP cars are set. Guests coming out late? Great thing we have a few cars waiting right behind us! Point is: BE MINDFUL OF YOUR P'S & Q'S AND GET READY TO SWITCH THEM UP IF YOU MUST!
IF YOU HAVE A SOLUTION, SHARE IT.

4 Staging Tips for The High-Scale Events in NYC
"Hospitality" is More Than a Happy Face
HOSPITALITY IS A WORD USED OFTEN YET SELDOM UNDERSTOOD. ESPECIALLY WITHIN THE EXECUTIVE TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY. ESPECIALLY IN NJ & NYC!
"HOSPITALITY" IS A NOUN - "THE FRIENDLY AND GENEROUS RECEPTION AND ENTERTAINMENT OF GUESTS".
In NYC or NJ, or any place for that matter, there are plenty of talkers. You know who we're talking about: the people who promise the world, yet when it is time to deliver...the Talker is nowhere to be found.
The Executive Transportation Industry is not exempt from the smoke-blowers. We have been let down by many partners and customers - many times. However, we have learned:
THAT AS LONG AS WE REMAIN FOCUSED AND KEEP DELIVERING HOSPITALITY & EXCELLENCE - WE WILL BE GOOD
and we have been! This is so because we a firm understanding on the concept of Hospitality and what our partners & passengers are expecting from our service. We are here to make YOU look good - not the other way around.
When we say "YOU", we mean whoever is reading this! Whether you want to book a ride with us, work with us, or whatever kind of need that you may have - we want to help!
Hospitality is going above & beyond the normal call of duty.
HOW DO WE COMBINE HOSPITALITY & EXECUTIVE TRANSPORTATION?
1. COMMUNICATION
We love to talk - especially to people who give us the honor of servicing them. We spend a good amount of our time speaking one-on-one with our partners & passengers. We do this because we want to gain the clearest understanding of what it is that they want precisely. We do not want to get their vision "close" - we want it exact.
2. EXPERIENCE
Luxury Ride USA has worked alongside many renowned figures, businesses, and hotels. All those relationships we established at our conception are proudly still around today. Luxury Ride USA has gained a secure spot in the "Executive" Market for a reason: we know what people want and how they want to receive it. Luxury Ride USA is proud of our years of experience and we are still eager to share our experience and prove ourselves to new people. EXPERIENCE is a world of worth that many new guys just cannot seem to understand...
3. SPECIAL REQUESTS - AND FULFILLING THEM
Perhaps the backbone of Hospitality: SPECIAL REQUESTS! As mentioned, it is important to exceed expectations that people may set - especially people you may be providing a service too. If our passengers want something other than Fiji Water on their ride (that's our standard, by the way), they got it! Iced Tea? Got it. Vodka Tonic? Done. You wanna stop by Mickey D's before your flight? Of course...as long as you toss us a fry or two ;). The point is: we want to give our passengers EXACTLY what they want, not just drive them from Point A to Point B.
LUXURY RIDE USA WANTS TO SHOW YOU A GOOD TIME. WILL YOU LET US?
Understanding the "EXECUTIVE" Image
"EXECUTIVE TRANSPORTATION" GOES HAND IN HAND WITH THE CONCEPT OF "EXECUTIVE IMAGE".
IMAGE IS AN IMPORTANT FEAT IN NYC & NJ.
AN IMPORTANT FEAT THAT LUXURY RIDE USA UPHOLDS TO THE HIGHEST OF STANDARDS.
How is it that Luxury Ride understands the "Executive Image"...?
EXPERIENCE.
And always driving Executives.
First of all, there are countless Transportation companies out there; whether you consider a Taxi, a Town Car, an Uber. A person in need of a ride can almost always find one.
Furthermore, we will repeat the obvious for you: Luxury Ride USA is not simply just trying to supply a "ride". In addition, Luxury Ride wants to be able to provide you with the Seamless Transportation that your busy schedule calls for. Especially relevant, we want to be giving you the tools needed to uphold your Executive Image.
WHAT WOULD YOUR BUSINESS PARTNERS SAY IF YOU PULLED UP IN A PRIUS?
A Business's first thing to consider, when partnering with another company that may be providing them with a service, is to assure their new association is upholding their Executive Image. And the only way to do that is to seek out other companies that practice the same values as you do.
In this case, the Association is LUXURY RIDE USA. The Value is EXCELLENCE.
NYC & NJ are some of the most dense states in the Country. Also some of the most dense in the world.
-
DENSITY = DIVERSITY.
-
DIVERSITY = CHANGE
Change is always coming. Luxury Ride likes it. We learn from it. Executive Standards change along with everything else. It is important for companies who claim to support an "Executive Image" to be able to perform under the changing banners of Corporate Lifestyles.
And it is also vital to be able to tweak your service for all the specifics that some of our Executives may be looking for. Just because Company X was happy with our service, may not mean that Company Y is. In conclusion, the key is to be able to pick out the different needs that various Executives call for, because there is no one right way of doing things.
As a result, Luxury Ride usually figures out each right way, and proceeds to exceed expectations.
Check out some of our Client's Testimonials. These reviews can help describe Luxury Ride's IMAGE.

Event Transportation
THE NEED FOR EVENT TRANSPORTATION AND THE ISSUES SUPPRESSING IT
In the NYC, NJ and the surrounding Tri-State Area, Boutique events are part of the Norm. The events that do take place are prestigious. The only way to achieve prestige is through seamless completion of the event, with finesse. Caterers, music, location – these are all crucial factors that go into a High-End event. Why is Event Transportation having trouble hopping on the Band Wagon?
NYC & NJ NEED HELP ESTABLISHING RELIABLE EVENT TRANSPORTATION - THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE
Caterers, Entertainment, and the other standard vendors for Upscale Events usually do not need to be babysat because they are constantly in the upscale atmosphere. These vendors are normally like-minded and work together to achieve and exceed expectations – you trust that they can take it from there and you will not have to deal with the stressors of making sure your vendors are on task. How come Event Transporters have trouble conforming to this market?
Many planners leave Event Transportation as the last aspect to deal with because they feel that it will be the most stressful. Through our experience of working with Event Planners, we have found that many of them find a reliable and reputable Event Transportation vendor for their event – but they still find themselves stuck explaining to their vendor THE DAY OF THE EVENT where they should be and confirming every route along the way.
If you are an Event Planner or anything of the sort, you know that there is simply NO. TIME. FOR THIS TOMFOOLERY
WHY MIGHT EVENT PLANNERS FIND EVENT TRANSPORTATION SO STRESSFUL?!
- They believe it may take time to find a reliable vendor that can represent the brand properly
- They believe it may take time to work with the vendor & reach confident assurance – explaining objectives, routes, and times
- They believe it may take time to make sure the objectives are met – taking away from the Event Planners #1 concern (the guests and the client).
WHAT DO ALL THESE SCENARIOS HAVE IN COMMON…?
TIME. TIME. TIME!
Many Event Planners leave it to Google or other search engines to discover their next vendor. A Planner may go through a couple pages of their search comparing different unorganized sites of different vendors, wasting time sorting through prices and locations and reviews, aspiring to find a vendor that will work perfect for them.
May your friends here at Luxury Ride provide some insight?
GOOGLE DOES NOT TRANSLATE TO “PRESTIGE”
REPUTATION AND EXPERIENCE, HOWEVER, DOES.
At Luxury Ride, we have always been thriving in a High-End market, so we know what a prestigious event requires. Our Event Transportation services transcend past the issues and illegitimacy of other vendors. It is our goal to prove this to you, and hopefully help other Transporters transcend with us.
Our Event Transportation provides 3 Crucial Elements to break the norm of Stressful Event Transportation:
- Communication Prior to the Event – We meet with our clients and planners long before the actual event, in person or digitally, to specify each detail of their event and itinerary and how to manifest their vision of seamless transport.
- Open Channel of Communication Between Booking & Event – Large-Scale Events are constantly growing larger as soon as they are conceptualized. Here at Luxury Ride, we understand the flux that surrounds events and are always working with such. Let’s keep in touch, this way nothing will go unnoticed or become disorganized.
- On-Site Coordinators – The Gentleman you met, booked, and communicated with for all these weeks will be the same Gentleman at your Event assuring the plan you both worked out is operating. This is critical – you can now let the Event Transportation settle in your mind calmly because you know that it is taken care of.
As most things, Event Transportation does not need to be difficult. Luxury Ride understands that, and we want to show you how.
Surviving JFK Terminal 4
Surviving JFK Terminal 4 “T4”
For those of you who travel, especially internationally, you know what we mean by “Surviving JFK Terminal 4”. Although T4 is a beautiful piece of architecture, it is still an Airport that transports billions of people annually – and because it is an airport, there will always be an issue and/or setback of some level of magnitude.
There is no larger setback than the multiple entrances/exits to Terminal 4 at JFK International.
After riding a 10+ hour international flight into the US, you are most likely tired – and most likely have a driver of some sort waiting to pick you up. When arriving to the terminal, it is only natural to desire a seamless and easy pick-up from your driver. Yet, due to the multiple entrances/exits, “seamless” seems unattainable.
There are two things that Executives desire when traveling:
-
Punctuality
-
Minimum-stress levels when concerning transportation from Point A to Point B
UNFORTUNATELY, STRESS-LEVELS ARE AT AN ALL TIME HIGH AT JFK TERMINAL 4
(MAP OF TERMINAL 4 AT JFK – SPECIFYING WHERE PASSENGERS ARRIVE)
As specified in the picture above, travelers come off their flight and begin to make their way towards the main exits – because they were told that their driver will be waiting for them near or around the exit.
BUT WHICH EXIT?!
Here at Luxury Ride, we have heard countless stories of clients/drivers waiting for their appointment in the complete wrong location, on the wrong side of T4. And we simply want to help travelers and drivers alike perform and travel more pleasantly and efficiently.
ALLOW LUXURY RIDE TO OFFER SOME SOLUTIONS
- Problem Awareness
- Let Others Know The Problem
- Last Minute Changes
PROBLEM AWARENESS
Luxury Ride has been taking care of many transportation needs for a very long time now, so we are no stranger to the common problems that companies and clients both experience; one of which being Terminal 4 at JFK. We notice there is a severe organizational issue with T4, and being that it is our duty to provide a high standard of excellence to our clients – it is also our duty to solve this issue.
LET OTHERS KNOW THE PROBLEM
With every ride we book at JFK, especially Terminal 4, we notify the passenger of the common issue regarding locating their chauffeur and also assure them that Luxury Ride is working to solve this issue.
If one of our passengers books a ride with us at JFK at T4, we quickly email that passenger with a Full-Proof map that specifies where they will be entering from and where their chauffeur will be.
(A MAP OF TERMINAL 4 IN JFK SPECIFYING WHERE OUR CHAUFFEURS WILL BE WAITING FOR YOU [beneath the Security Checkpoint])
LAST MINUTE CHANGES
Flight delay? We’ll still be waiting for you. You arrived at T4 through another entrance that you did not expect and think you will not be able to find your chauffeur? Just give us a quick call on our toll-free international number (1-888-774-4847) and we will have your chauffeur come to meet you at your new location, no problem.
The key to Surviving JFK Terminal 4 is COMMUNICATION
The foundation of transportation companies, ground and air alike, is built from communication. And it is also every transportation company’s mission to provide each passenger with a pleasurable travel experience. The only way to do that is if each point of transportation is working with the other: which is exactly what Luxury Ride is doing for their clients coming into Terminal 4 at JFK.
It seems that many transportation companies, and especially airports, have mastered the art of miscommunication.
Luxury Ride strives to fix this ongoing confusion – and we encourage others to constantly be clear and concise so there will be no mix-ups; ultimately causing your travel experience to be what was once unattainable: seamless and efficient.
