For Journeys that Matter
LUXY Ride connects visitors with a professional chauffeur through its partner network for the Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting, confirmed for Wednesday, December 2, 2026. The fare is set before the trip begins and includes gratuity and tolls, so the price at booking is the price charged.
A dinner reservation ahead of the lighting, followed by the ceremony itself, makes for a full evening that a pre-arranged pickup can be timed around, rather than searching for a ride home once the crowds disperse.
