EMPIRE LIMOUSINE SERVICES

Group Chauffeur Service: Private Group Transportation for Corporate Teams and Events With Sprinter Vans and Passenger Coaches

Empire Limousine provides group chauffeur service for 11 to 55 passengers across major US cities, including New York, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dallas, and Houston.  No surge pricing activates during conventions, peak business hours, or major events — exactly when groups travel most.

What Is Group Chauffeur Service?

Group chauffeur service provides dedicated private ground transportation for 11 or more passengers traveling together to a shared destination. A licensed professional chauffeur operates a confirmed vehicle, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, executive mini coach, or full-size motor coach under a flat rate locked at booking, with no surge pricing and no rebooking between stops. Example: A corporate travel manager books a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter for 12 executives arriving at JFK on a Tuesday morning for an annual offsite. One vehicle, one flat rate, one chauffeur meeting the group at baggage claim, no rebooking between the airport and the conference hotel.

Group Chauffeur Service vs Charter Bus

Charter bus service refers to a coach hired for exclusive group use on a fixed route. Group chauffeur service covers all vehicle sizes from 11-passenger Sprinters to 55-passenger motor coaches, including both fixed-route and As-Directed hourly bookings, with a professional TLC-licensed chauffeur assigned to each vehicle.

Group Chauffeur Service vs Group Rideshare

Group rideshare coordinates multiple individual app-dispatched vehicles with no central coordination. Group chauffeur service assigns all vehicles from one dispatch command, ensuring synchronized arrivals, unified billing, and a single point of contact for the full program.
