Cost Examples
How much does a wedding car cost in NYC?
A 3-hour minimum costs $330 in an Executive Sedan, $390 in a Chevrolet Suburban, $450 in a Cadillac Escalade ESV and $540 in a Mercedes-Benz S-Class / BMW 7 Series.

How far ahead should I book wedding transportation?
Request a quote once your wedding date and schedule are available. The Knot’s 2026 Real Weddings Study reports that 76% of U.S. weddings in 2025 took place from May through October. Saturdays in October, September and June were the most popular dates. Book at least 24 hours ahead when you can. Same-day rides can be booked online up to 15 minutes before pickup, or by phone. Payment is usually prepaid, with the terms set on each quote.
Marriage License
Do I need my marriage license before the wedding day?
Yes. New York City has a 24-hour waiting period after a marriage license is issued before a ceremony can take place. A license is valid for 60 days beginning the day after issue, or 180 days for active military. The Manhattan City Clerk is at 141 Worth Street and serves license appointments Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 3:45 p.m.; walk-ins are not available. The officiant must return the signed license within five business days. Read the City Clerk marriage FAQ and NYC311 marriage-license instructions.
Can the chauffeur wait outside the ceremony and reception?
Hourly service includes unlimited stops within the booked hours. Add the ceremony, photo locations and reception to the schedule, then confirm the drop-off entrance with each venue. On an hourly booking, waiting at each venue is part of your booked hours, and your chauffeur wears a black suit and tie.
Guests
Can you move guests between the ceremony and reception?
Yes. Hourly bookings include unlimited stops during booked hours. The Executive Sprinter carries 13 passengers and 14 bags; groups above 13 travel in multiple vehicles. Sprinter service is quote on request. Cancel 24 hours or more before pickup for a full refund, or 48 hours or more for group, event and multi-leg bookings; inside those windows, any refund is at our discretion, and a no-show is charged 100% of the fare. See Sprinter van service NYC.
Rides between the ceremony and reception can carry seats for child guests in our SUVs and Sprinters.
Vehicles
Which car is best for a wedding dress?
The Executive Sedan seats 2 passengers with 2 bags and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class / BMW 7 Series 3 passengers with 2 bags. The Chevrolet Suburban and Cadillac Escalade ESV each seat 6 passengers with 6 bags. Choose based on your party size and luggage. For a full gown, the Cadillac Escalade ESV and Chevrolet Suburban fit best, the Executive Sprinter fits a bridal party, and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class / BMW 7 Series suits a slimmer gown. Compare the Executive Sedan, Mercedes-Benz S-Class / BMW 7 Series and Escalade.
Mercedes-Maybach and Rolls-Royce cars are quoted on request, while the luxury sedans and SUVs carry published hourly rates.
