New York City travelers looking to upgrade their holiday plans can now do it from the backseat of a luxury car. This December, Blacklane is rolling out its limited time Holiday Chauffeur experience, turning ordinary rides into full blown Secret Santa moments complete with high end gifts.

Available throughout the month in New York City, the Holiday Chauffeur blends Blacklane’s signature first class service with a curated trio of luxury presents.

Each ride includes three hand wrapped luxury gifts waiting in the backseat, each valued at over $300. Depending on guest preferences, the bundle may feature items from brands like Tom Ford, Mulberry, and Therabody. Think designer accessories, premium wellness gear, and indulgent treats that feel more Saks than stocking stuffer.

A luxury ride that doubles as a holiday gift

The Holiday Chauffeur is designed to feel personal. Guests can share interests, age ranges, or gift preferences with Blacklane’s in-house concierge team ahead of time, or simply let the experts surprise them. From airport transfers to city rides, every detail is handled so travelers can relax and enjoy the season.

The experience starts at $3,000 in New York City and includes meet and greet service at JFK, Newark, or LaGuardia, plus a city center transfer in a first class vehicle. Bookings must be made at least three days in advance, availability is limited, and gifts are non exchangeable.
