What Is Airport Chauffeur Service?

Airport chauffeur service provides pre-booked private airport transfer service between any address and a commercial or private aviation airport. It differs from rideshare in 4 ways: the vehicle and chauffeur are dedicated to the booking, the rate is flat and locked at confirmation, flight tracking adjusts the pickup automatically, and a meet and greet option places the chauffeur at arrivals.For a full breakdown of how meet and greet compares to curbside pickup, read our guide on meet and greet vs curbside pickup at JFK and LAX.

Meet and Greet vs Curbside Pickup

Meet and greet service places the chauffeur inside the terminal at baggage claim, holding a name sign. The chauffeur assists with luggage from claim to the vehicle. Curbside pickup positions the vehicle at the designated pickup zone outside arrivals. Meet and greet applies to international arrivals, first-time visitors to the airport, groups, and all VIP and executive arrivals.

Airport Chauffeur Service Client Reviews

“My flight into JFK was delayed 90 minutes. The chauffeur was already updated before I landed. No waiting at baggage claim, no rebooking, no explanation needed. That is exactly what you pay for with a professional airport chauffeur service.”
“We use Empire Limousine for all TEB pickups for our executive team. The chauffeur always coordinates with the FBO before we land. The car is at the ramp when we walk out. No rideshare app can do that.”
“We book Empire Limousine for all international arrivals at JFK Terminal 4. The meet and greet service means our clients clear customs and see a professional with their name. First impression from the moment they arrive.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Our dispatch team tracks every inbound flight in real time from departure through landing. When a flight lands early or runs late, the chauffeur timing adjusts automatically.

Meet and greet places the chauffeur inside the terminal at baggage claim with a name sign. The chauffeur assists with luggage from the carousel to the vehicle. Curbside pickup positions the vehicle at the designated pickup zone outside arrivals. Meet and greet applies to all executive, VIP, and international arrivals. Both options are available at no difference in vehicle rate.

Yes. Empire Limousine provides FBO pickups at Teterboro Airport (TEB) at Signature Aviation (East, West, and South terminals), Atlantic Aviation, and Jet Aviation. Dispatch contacts the FBO directly to confirm aircraft on-ground status. The vehicle is positioned at the ramp access point before the aircraft arrives.

No. Empire Limousine flat-rate pricing covers the route, not the time. If a flight is delayed 2 hours, the chauffeur waits and no additional charge applies. The rate confirmed at booking is the rate charged.

We provide airport chauffeur service at JFK International Airport (63.3 million passengers in 2024), LaGuardia Air

Yes. Empire Limousine flat-rate airport transfers include all airport access fees, bridge and tunnel tolls, and terminal parking charges. The rate confirmed at booking is the total rate charged. No airport surcharges, peak hour fees, or fuel adjustments are added at the time of billing. Corporate account clients see the confirmed rate on their monthly consolidated invoice with no line-item additions.

For individual leisure travelers, rideshare is often sufficient. For C-suite executives, corporate travel programs, and financial roadshow teams, airport chauffeur service provides 3 things rideshare cannot: flat-rate pricing that does not surge during peak travel days, automatic flight tracking that adjusts without any contact from the passenger, and meet and greet service that handles luggage from baggage claim to the vehicle. A single surge pricing event on a peak travel day can exceed the full cost difference between rideshare and flat-rate airport chauffeur service for the year.
