For Journeys that Matter
LUXY Ride is a technology platform for pre-arranged black car service across New York State, well beyond the five boroughs. LUXY connects you with a professional chauffeur through our partner network. Albany, the state capital, sits about 145 miles north of New York City, and a trip like that is booked ahead with the fare shown before you confirm.
Book rides to and from Albany International, Buffalo Niagara International, Westchester County, and Long Island MacArthur airports, for meetings in White Plains or at Empire State Plaza, and for race days in Saratoga Springs. Your quoted fare includes gratuity and tolls, and your assigned chauffeur's details arrive before you travel.
