What Yale Families Say
“We take Black Car NYC to New Haven every Parents Weekend. The driver drops us at our daughter's residential college, waits while we do brunch, then drives us back. So much better than the train with gifts and luggage.”
Richard & Ellen P.
Parents Weekend
“We loaded the Escalade with our son's entire dorm setup — boxes, bedding, mini fridge, everything. The driver helped us unload on Old Campus. No way we could have done that on Metro-North.”
The Goldberg Family
Freshman Move-In
“For my daughter's Yale graduation, we had family flying into JFK. Black Car NYC picked them up at the airport and drove directly to New Haven. Seamless. No Grand Central connection needed.”
Amanda T.
Graduation
“We booked a day trip for our son's admissions tour. The driver waited 4 hours while we toured campus and had lunch. Having our own car there made the whole day relaxed and stress-free.”
