Return transfers are priced identically. Rates are per vehicle, not per passenger. The Escalade IQ (up to 3 guests) has the same airport flat rate as the Luxury SUV. The flat rate applies when both the pickup and the drop-off are within 25 miles of downtown New Orleans. Beyond that, the trip is billed by the hour for the time the car is out, with the vehicle's minimum, and the exact total is shown before you pay. Car seats and additional stops are available as add-ons, see the prices below.
Hourly car service rates.
When your day has three or more stops, hourly service is almost always the better value, and the car stays with you between them.

|---|---|---|---|
| Executive sedan BMW 760i · 1–2 guests | $125 per hour | 3 hours | VIP arrivals, executive days |
| Mercedes-Maybach Flagship sedan · 1–2 guests · by reservation | $325 per hour | 3 hours | VIP and special occasions |
| Luxury SUV Cadillac Escalade · up to 6 guests | $169 per hour | 3 hours | Tours, families, evenings out |
| Escalade IQ All-electric Cadillac Escalade IQ · up to 3 guests | $175 per hour | 3 hours | Clients who ask for an EV |

| 14-passenger Sprinter Mercedes-Benz Sprinter · high capacity · up to 14 guests | $195 per hour | 4 hours | Groups, weddings, conventions |
Hourly service is billed from pickup to final drop-off. Common bookings include Garden District tours(3 hours), evenings in the French Quarter(4–5 hours), and full corporate days(8+ hours). Multi-day and standing corporate rates available.

Pricing FAQs.
How much is a car service from MSY to the French Quarter?
+
$145 for an executive sedan, $185 for a luxury SUV, $295 for the 14-passenger Sprinter van, and $395.40 for the Jet Sprinter, one way. The same flat rate applies to anywhere within 25 miles of downtown New Orleans, including the CBD, Garden District, Uptown, Metairie, Kenner, and the cruise terminal.
What if my pickup or drop-off is more than 25 miles away?
+
The trip is billed hourly instead of at the flat rate: a 3-hour minimum for sedans and SUVs, 4 hours for Sprinter vans, plus extra hours when the drive there and back takes longer. Enter the address on the booking page and the exact total appears before you pay.
Is your pricing flat rate or metered?
+
Airport transfers within 25 miles of downtown are flat rate, and hourly service is a fixed rate per hour. There is no meter and no surge pricing at any time of year, including Mardi Gras, Jazz Fest, Sugar Bowl weekend, and major convention weeks. The total you confirm is the rate you pay.
Do you charge extra if my flight is delayed?
+
No. Every airport reservation includes live flight tracking, and standard delay adjustments carry no additional charge. Your pickup time simply moves with your flight. Airport bookings also include 30 minutes of complimentary wait time from the time you land.
Can I cancel a reservation?
+
Yes. Cancellations made more than 24 hours before the scheduled pickup are free. Cancellations inside 24 hours and no-show reservations are non-refundable. Corporate accounts may have their own terms.
When is hourly service cheaper than point-to-point?
+
Generally once your itinerary reaches three or more stops, or any time you want the vehicle held between destinations rather than re-booked. A Garden District tour, an evening across multiple French Quarter venues, or a full corporate day downtown are all better served, and usually better priced, hourly.
Do you offer corporate or account rates?
+
Yes. Corporate accounts include negotiated rates, centralized billing, a dedicated account manager, documented executive preferences, and standing gratuity terms. Volume and standing-schedule pricing is available for firms with regular airport or downtown travel.
How do I book?
+
Choose your vehicle, service, and addresses on the booking page; you see the exact total and pay securely by card through Stripe. For several vehicles or a custom itinerary, send a reservation request or call our concierge line for a firm quote.
