Question 35

Is parking my own car at the airport cheaper than booking chauffeur service?

Accepted Answer

For most travelers, the math favors Tri-State Chauffeurs once parking, gas, and tolls are accounted for. Long-term parking at JFK, LGA, EWR, and PHL ranges from approximately $36 to $80 or more per day, plus round-trip fuel, tolls, and the time and stress of driving and parking. For a 5-to-7 day trip, parking costs alone can equal or exceed a round-trip flat rate, without the convenience of a chauffeur handling traffic, weather, and luggage door to door.

Question 36

Can I pay with a corporate card or get an invoice for expense reporting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Tri-State Chauffeurs can provide itemized invoices for any ride at no extra charge, useful for personal expense reports and corporate reimbursement.

The team will review the trip details, route, and quoted rate. Refunds for service issues are evaluated case by case.

Question 39

Is there a discount for first-time customers, referrals, or seniors?

Accepted Answer

New customers receive 10% off their first booking. Pricing on the website already reflects the 10% new customer discount. Deeper discounts apply for round-trip bookings (e.g., airport transfers, point-to-point transfers).
