An investor roadshow or sales tour in New York can involve six to ten meetings a day across Midtown, the Financial District, Hudson Yards and sometimes New Jersey and Connecticut. Ground transportation is the backbone: the team must arrive on time, prepared and composed at every stop. The keys are a dedicated chauffeured vehicle on hourly service, a realistic schedule with travel buffers, a single point of contact with dispatch, and backup plans for traffic and last-minute changes.

Step 1: Choose the right vehicle

Team size Vehicle
1–2 executives Luxury sedan (e.g., Mercedes-Benz S-Class)
3–5 people Full-size SUV (Escalade, Suburban, Yukon XL)
6–12 people Sprinter van

Sedans are discreet and quiet for calls; SUVs fit bankers, analysts and presentation materials. See our fleet.

Step 2: Build a realistic schedule

  • Map meetings by neighborhood to reduce crosstown trips.
  • Allow 20–30 minutes for Midtown-to-Midtown moves, more at rush hour; allow 30–45 minutes between Midtown and the Financial District.
  • Build a buffer before key meetings.
  • Confirm building entrances — large towers have multiple lobbies and security desks.

Step 3: Keep the car with you

Hourly service keeps the vehicle and chauffeur dedicated to your team, waiting near each meeting and ready to leave immediately. Point-to-point bookings between each meeting introduce delay and risk. Read hourly vs point-to-point.

Step 4: Communication

  • One lead contact (often an executive assistant or roadshow coordinator) talks to dispatch.
  • Share the full itinerary with the chauffeur in advance.
  • Update pickup times by text as meetings run long or short.

Step 5: Contingencies

  • A backup vehicle for large teams or split schedules.
  • Alternate routes around events such as UN week or parades. Read UN General Assembly week traffic.
  • Airport timing for the last meeting of the day.
