New York to Philadelphia
About 95 miles · The classic case for driving: the flight is an hour, the journey is most of a day.
By air
5h 15m
By rail
3h 15m
With Executifs
2h 5m
On this route you are at the door about 1h 10m sooner than the quickest alternative — with no terminal, no security queue and your luggage beside you the whole way.
Every city-to-city fare is quoted for your exact route and fixed before you travel. No surge, ever.
How we work these out: our figure is realistic door-to-door driving time in normal conditions. Rail and air figures are the travelling leg only, plus typical overheads — 45 minutes to the airport, 2 hours for check-in and security, 45 minutes to deplane and collect bags, and 45 minutes onward; for rail, 45 minutes to the station, 30 minutes boarding and 45 minutes onward. Your own times will vary with traffic, schedule and how early you like to arrive. These are illustrations, not guarantees.

Why People Book the Car Instead
It is one vehicle
No check-in, no gate, no changing onto a train and then into a taxi. The car that collects you is the car that drops you.
You can work the whole way
A private cabin with power and quiet for the entire journey, instead of three disconnected fragments of one.
Luggage stops mattering
Skis, sample cases, golf clubs, a week of bags — it goes in the car. There is no allowance and nothing to check.
The fare is fixed
Quoted for your exact route before you travel, including tolls on the direct route. It does not move with traffic, demand or the date.
