BECOME A PARTNER
Friendly Ride has been the trusted chauffeur partner to New York’s leading hotels since 2005 — vetted for kings, dignitaries, celebrities and heads of state, and held to the same standard for every guest who steps into the car. That is the experience and discretion we bring to your property, in New York and at partner hotels across 200+ cities worldwide.
Every car that pulls up to your entrance carries your name, not ours. We work the way a luxury property works — quietly, early, and to a standard the guest never has to notice.
A live dispatcher, not a queue. Same-day and last-minute guest requests confirmed while the concierge is still on the phone, with cars staged across Manhattan.
Chauffeurs briefed on your arrival protocol, back-of-house entrances and guest privacy. Nothing about a guest leaves the car — no names, no itineraries, no photographs.
Current-model cars, detailed before every shift, chauffeurs in dark suits. Nothing arrives at your entrance that you would not want photographed beside your façade.
Post to the master account for the guest folio, or charge the guest directly. Either way the desk gets a clean per-trip record and the hotel gets one monthly statement.
From a two-block dinner run to a fourteen-car wedding weekend — the same account, the same standards, the same phone number.
A dedicated car and chauffeur stationed at the property for set hours, presented to your specification, with the fleet behind it for overflow.
Flight-tracked meet-and-greet at JFK, LaGuardia, Newark and Teterboro, so the guest’s first impression of the hotel begins at the terminal — see Airport Transfers.
Discreet routing, service entrances, security-trained chauffeurs and armoured cars, coordinated with hotel security and the guest’s own team.
Marque cars for the couple, sedans and vans for the party, run to a timeline agreed with your catering and events team.
Arrivals, venue shuttles and staggered departures for a room block, worked from your rooming list rather than passed back to your team.
A car held at the guest’s disposal for shopping, dining, gallery days or a full day out of the city, with the same chauffeur throughout.
A hotel partnership is an agreement about standards, rates and billing. Once it is in place, the desk calls one number and everything behind it is ours to manage.
Fixed transfer and hourly rates by vehicle class, quotable by the desk without calling us first.
Post to the master account for the guest folio, or charge the guest’s card at the car.
One person who knows your property, your GM and your busy season — reachable directly.
Briefed on your arrival protocol, greeting standards and preferred entrances before a first shift.
Phone, email or the online portal — with confirmations back in writing for the guest file.
Certificates of insurance naming the property, W-9 and vendor forms returned to your finance team.
Current-model, 2023 through 2026, detailed before every shift and garaged in Long Island City. Marque cars available on notice for principals and celebrations.
For the suite guest, the wedding and the occasion the property will be photographed for. Nothing else says arrival quite the same way.
The house car of choice for VIP residents and visiting principals — reclining rear seats, executive console, absolute quiet.
The everyday standard for guest transfers and dinner runs — the car most properties want waiting at the door by default.
Families, wedding parties and conference blocks — captain’s chairs, standing headroom and room for the luggage that comes with them.
The desk reaches a live dispatcher at any hour. With cars staged across Manhattan, same-day sedan requests are usually confirmed within minutes and at the door on the guest’s schedule — including the request that comes in as the guest is putting on their coat.
We run house car programmes with a dedicated vehicle and chauffeur stationed at the property for agreed hours, presented to your specification, with the wider fleet behind them whenever demand exceeds the one car.
Chauffeurs assigned to a property are trained on its arrival protocol before a first shift — greeting standards, door and luggage handling, which entrance to use, discretion expectations and the routing your team prefers at each time of day.
Regularly, and quietly. Discreet arrivals, back-of-house entrances, security-trained chauffeurs and armoured vehicles are all available, coordinated with your security team and the guest’s own protection detail.
None. There is no setup fee, no minimum volume and no commitment. A partner property receives preferred rates, a named account manager and consolidated billing — and keeps the freedom to use us as often or as rarely as the desk chooses.
Open a partner account for the property, or simply give the desk our number and send us your next VIP.
