Limo Service in Brooklyn

Brooklyn limo service, from Greenpoint to Bay Ridge

Brooklyn limo bookings tend to be about the day or the night, not the drive. A wedding party leaves a brownstone in Park Slope, stops for photographs under the Manhattan Bridge in DUMBO, and arrives at a waterfront venue. A birthday group starts in Williamsburg, crosses into Manhattan for dinner, and comes back to Greenpoint after midnight. A prom group meets in Bay Ridge for pictures on Shore Road. We plan the whole route as one booking with one quote.

For everyday rides, such as a car to the airport or a trip across the borough, see Brooklyn taxi and car service. This page covers limousines: stretch, SUV and Sprinter.

Which limo fits a Brooklyn booking

The quote confirms how many people the assigned stretch seats, because it varies by vehicle. We don't operate party buses. Groups larger than 14 travel in two vehicles.

Brownstone streets and where a stretch can stop

Much of brownstone Brooklyn is narrow one-way side streets, lined with parked cars on both sides. A stretch limousine can get down most of them, but it can't wait there without blocking the street. In Park Slope, Fort Greene, Carroll Gardens or Bed-Stuy, the car usually loads at your door and then waits on the nearest avenue, such as Seventh Avenue, Fifth Avenue or DeKalb, until you are ready.

If the pickup is a building with no frontage on the street, or a block with construction scaffolding, tell us. The chauffeur can then agree the exact spot with you before the day.

Brooklyn wedding limos and photo stops

Brooklyn weddings often include a photo stop, and the favourites are well known: Washington Street in DUMBO with the Manhattan Bridge behind, Brooklyn Bridge Park on the water, the Promenade in Brooklyn Heights, and Prospect Park. Venues include the Prospect Park Boathouse, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, converted warehouses in Williamsburg and Red Hook, and catering halls in Bay Ridge and south Brooklyn.

Three things to plan for:

• DUMBO's streets are cobblestone and crowded. On a sunny weekend, Washington and Water Streets are packed with photographers. A stretch moves slowly there and cannot stand for long. We usually drop the party at the edge of the cobbles and collect them at an agreed corner.
• Some parks require a permit for professional or wedding photography, including Brooklyn Bridge Park. Check with the park before you plan the stop.
• The photo stop always takes longer than planned. Build in 30 to 45 minutes, and remember it counts towards the hours on a stretch booking.

How to split the day between the couple's car and guest shuttles is covered on the wedding limo page.

Nights out in Williamsburg, Greenpoint and Bushwick

North Brooklyn is where many limo nights start or end. Williamsburg has the bars and clubs of Bedford and Kent Avenues and the waterfront. Greenpoint has Manhattan Avenue and Franklin Street. Bushwick and East Williamsburg have Brooklyn Steel and the late warehouse venues.

For these nights:

• Give a pickup corner, not just a club name. Kent Avenue has a two-way bike lane, and the side streets near the venues fill up at closing time. A pin on the corner works better than "outside the club".
• Greenpoint to Long Island City is one bridge. The Pulaski Bridge crosses Newtown Creek into Queens, which makes a Greenpoint pickup quick for a night that starts in LIC or Astoria.
• Into Manhattan, the Williamsburg Bridge is free and leads to the Lower East Side. Trips into Manhattan south of 60th Street may also carry the congestion charge, and the quote shows it.

For Bushwick pickups, see Bushwick, and for Greenpoint and the Williamsburg waterfront, see Williamsburg.

Proms, Barclays nights and the Dyker Heights lights

Proms. Brooklyn proms are held across the borough and in Manhattan. Many students gather at one home for photographs before leaving. List every pickup, the venue entrance and the end time. If the school publishes prom transportation rules, send them with your request. See the prom limo page for planning the night.

Barclays Center. On an event night, Atlantic and Flatbush Avenues are slow for an hour either side of the show. A limo drops you on a quieter side street and collects you at an agreed corner, away from the main doors.

Dyker Heights Christmas lights. In December, the blocks around 11th to 13th Avenues and 83rd to 86th Streets are packed every evening. An SUV or a Sprinter is easier than a stretch for this. Plan to walk the blocks, and arrange a pickup corner on the edge.

Brooklyn limo prices and cheaper options

There is no fixed Brooklyn limo price. A quote depends on the vehicle, the date, the hours and the route. To keep the cost down:

• Book the vehicle the night needs. Two people going to dinner in Manhattan need an executive sedan on a transfer, not a four-hour stretch.
• Share a Sprinter. Ten friends in a Sprinter usually pay less per person than in a stretch, and they all ride together.
• Stay in the borough. A night between Williamsburg and Bushwick has no bridge tolls and short drives between stops.
• Pick a weeknight if you can. Saturday nights in prom and wedding season are the hardest to book.

Our pricing page explains each line of a quote.

Choosing a Brooklyn limo company

Use the checklist on our limo service page. One point matters especially in Brooklyn: many neighbourhood car services run sedans and minivans, not limousines. Ask whether a stretch or a Sprinter is actually in the company's fleet, and ask for the TLC base that will dispatch it.

How to book a Brooklyn limo
