Question 1

How early does my chauffeur arrive for airport pickups?

Accepted Answer

Your LAAC Car Service chauffeur is staged before your aircraft reaches the gate on arrivals and curbside 15 minutes ahead of your stated pickup time on departures. Arrival staging is anchored to live flight data, not the airline's scheduled time, so the car is in position whether you land early, on time, or late.

The staging windows we hold to:
• International arrivals: 60 minutes complimentary wait from actual block-in.
• Domestic arrivals: 45 minutes complimentary wait from actual block-in.
• Private aviation (FBO): chauffeur on station 2 hours before estimated wheels-down, holds for actual arrival.
• Departures: vehicle outside your door 15 minutes before the agreed pickup minute.

These are the same windows our concierge desk quotes at booking — no surcharge if you're late off the plane, no recalc at the curb.

Question 2

Do you track my flight? What if I'm delayed or early?

Accepted Answer

Every airport reservation at LAAC Car Service is monitored in real time against live FAA, Eurocontrol, and global airline data feeds — pickup time auto-adjusts to your actual landing, not the airline's scheduled time, so you never need to rebook, call dispatch, or update us mid-flight.

How the tracking actually works:
• The reservation is bound to your flight number at booking; our dispatch system pulls live position every 90 seconds.
• Early arrivals trigger an earlier chauffeur dispatch so the vehicle is curbside before wheels-down.
• Delays push the staging window forward — the chauffeur is sent at the right minute relative to actual ETA.
• Diversions and gate changes update automatically; we re-route the chauffeur to the new terminal or airport without you lifting a finger.

The result: you walk out of the jet bridge and the car is already there, every time.

Question 3

Meet-and-greet inside the terminal, or curbside pickup?

Accepted Answer

LAAC Car Service offers both meet-and-greet inside the terminal and curbside pickup at the door — your choice at booking, with no upcharge for either option. Meet-and-greet is the default on international arrivals and any reservation flagged for VIP, family, or first-time travelers.

What meet-and-greet includes:
• A uniformed chauffeur waiting at baggage claim with a discreet name sign.
• Luggage carried from the carousel to the vehicle — no carts, no hand-offs.
• Escort through the terminal to the curb, with the vehicle pre-staged for an immediate departure.
• On request: a porter, child-seat installation, or a quiet escort past photographers.

Curbside pickup uses the same flight tracking and complimentary wait — you simply meet the chauffeur at the assigned door rather than at the carousel. Both options are confirmed by a live concierge within 15 minutes of booking during support hours.

Question 4

Do you operate in all major international airports?

Accepted Answer

LAAC Car Service operates in 600+ cities across six continents and every major commercial hub - JFK, LAX, LHR, CDG, NRT, DXB, SIN, FRA, HKG, ICN, SYD, GRU, and the full long-haul network - through our in-house fleet in our home markets and the Five Star Alliance partner network everywhere else.

What that means in practice:
• One booking, one invoice, one standard - whether the vehicle is ours or a vetted partner's.
• Multilingual chauffeurs available on request at every international hub.
• Extended complimentary wait on international arrivals (60 minutes) to absorb customs and immigration.
• FBO and private-aviation coverage at every major business-aviation field.

You book the city; we handle which vehicle, which chauffeur, and which protocol the airport requires. The rider experience is the same in Atlanta as it is in Tokyo.

Question 5

What if my flight diverts or cancels last minute?

Accepted Answer

If your flight diverts mid-air or cancels at the gate, LAAC Car Service absorbs the change automatically — our dispatch system sees the divert or cancel on the same live feed the airline does, and we re-route or stand down without waiting for you to call.

How each scenario is handled:
• Divert to another airport we cover: the chauffeur is re-routed to the new airport at no additional charge; the original flat fare holds if the new destination is in the same metro.
• Divert outside our coverage area: we coordinate with a Five Star Alliance partner and confirm a new chauffeur before you land.
• Cancellation beyond your control (weather, mechanical, ATC): the reservation is waived in full, no cancellation fee.
• Rebooking onto a later flight: we re-bind the reservation to the new flight number — you message the concierge once, we handle the rest.

You never pay for an airline's disruption when you fly with LAAC Car Service.

Question 6

Are child seats and boosters available?

Accepted Answer

Yes — LAAC Car Service provides infant, convertible, and booster seats at no extra charge, installed by your chauffeur before pickup so the vehicle is ready the moment you reach the curb. Seats are professionally cleaned between rides and meet current FMVSS 213 (US) and ECE R44/R129 (EU) safety standards.

What to request at booking:
• Child's age, height, and weight — we fit the correct seat class (rear-facing infant, forward-facing convertible, high-back booster, or backless booster).
• Number of seats required — multiple seats are standard on family bookings.
• Any specific brand preference (Nuna, Britax, Cybex available in most markets).
• Whether you'd like the chauffeur to install or leave for you to install.

For international arrivals with infants, request the bassinet-compatible Sprinter or Suburban — both have the floor anchor points needed for rear-facing infant seats and ample cabin room for a tired family.

Question 7

Is a point-to-point the same as a transfer?

Accepted Answer

A point-to-point transfer is any flat-rate chauffeured ride between two non-airport addresses — hotel to restaurant, residence to event, office to client meeting, city to city — quoted as a single fare at booking with no meter, no surge, and no recalculation at the drop. It is the same product as an airport transfer, minus the flight tracking and meet-and-greet layer.

What LAAC Car Service includes on every point-to-point:
• Flat fare quoted and locked at booking — tolls, parking, fuel, and gratuity all in.
• Current-model-year vehicle, jet-black exterior, neutral leather interior.
• Vetted chauffeur in business attire, dispatched 15 minutes before pickup.
• Live dispatch tracking from origin to destination, monitored by the concierge team.

If the trip evolves — extra stops, a chauffeur waiting between meetings, a longer day than planned — we re-bill the ride as hourly at the standard hourly rate, transparently and with your approval.

Question 8

Do you handle train stations and cruise ports?

Accepted Answer

Yes — LAAC Car Service dispatches to every major rail terminal and cruise port in our operating cities as a standard flat-rate point-to-point, with the same arrival tracking we use for airports applied to the train or ship's actual arrival time. No different product, no surcharge for the venue.

Venues we run regularly:
• Rail: Penn Station, Moynihan Train Hall, Union Station DC, 30th Street Philadelphia, South Station Boston, St Pancras International, Gare du Nord.
• Cruise: Port of Miami, Port Everglades, Brooklyn Cruise Terminal, Manhattan Cruise Terminal, Port of Galveston, Southampton, Civitavecchia.
• Multi-leg: rail-to-hotel-to-cruise, cruise-to-airport, station-to-station across cities.

For cruise arrivals we monitor the ship's berth time and stage the chauffeur to match disembarkation; for rail we track the train's live position and adjust pickup accordingly. Tell the concierge the train number or ship name at booking and the rest is automatic.

Question 9

Can I add an extra stop on a point-to-point?

Accepted Answer

Yes — extra stops on a LAAC Car Service point-to-point can be added at booking, added in advance by messaging the concierge, or added on the day by telling your chauffeur, and the route is re-priced as a single trip rather than billed as separate rides.

How stops are priced:
• One short stop added at booking (under 15 minutes, on-route): no additional charge.
• Multiple stops or off-route detours: re-quoted as a longer flat-rate trip at booking.
• Stops where the chauffeur waits more than 30 minutes: the trip converts to hourly at the standard hourly rate, with your approval before the meter starts.
• Ad-hoc stops added day-of: handled in real time; any pricing adjustment is shown as a clean line item on your receipt, never a surprise at the curb.

For days with three or more stops or any open-ended schedule, hourly is the better fit — same chauffeur, same vehicle, no per-stop math.

Question 10

How is wait time handled between pickup and drop?

Accepted Answer

Every LAAC Car Service point-to-point includes 15 minutes of complimentary wait at pickup, with the clock starting at the agreed pickup time and the chauffeur holding quietly until you arrive. Beyond 15 minutes, wait is billed in 15-minute increments at the vehicle's standard hourly rate, and we always notify you before the meter starts.

Wait-time rules in practice:
• Non-airport pickup: 15 minutes free, then 15-minute increments at the hourly rate.
• Airport pickup: 60 minutes free on international, 45 on domestic, from actual block-in.
• Train and cruise: 30 minutes free from the actual arrival time of the train or ship.
• Mid-trip stops: 15 minutes free per stop on a point-to-point; longer than that, the trip converts to hourly.

If you know you'll be late at pickup, message the concierge — we'll push the staging window without billing wait time, as long as we know in advance.

Question 11

When does a point-to-point become an hourly trip?

Accepted Answer

A LAAC Car Service point-to-point converts to an hourly booking when the route changes mid-ride in a way that breaks the flat-rate model — the chauffeur waits more than 30 minutes between stops, the trip adds more than one extra unplanned stop, or pickup falls during a major event with regional dispatch minimums. We flag it at booking when we can see it coming, never at the curb.

The specific triggers:
• Wait at any single stop exceeds 30 minutes.
• Three or more stops added day-of beyond the original two addresses.
• Total trip duration exceeds 90 minutes door-to-door.
• Pickup or drop during a regional event minimum (Super Bowl week, F1 weekend, major UN sessions).

When any of these trigger, we re-quote the trip as hourly at the standard hourly rate before the change goes through and bill garage-to-garage. Hourly is often cheaper than three back-to-back point-to-points — the concierge will tell you which way to book.

Question 12

Are child seats and boosters available?

Accepted Answer

Yes — LAAC Car Service provides infant, convertible, and booster seats at no extra charge on every point-to-point, installed by your chauffeur before pickup so the vehicle is ready the moment you reach the curb. Seats meet current FMVSS 213 (US) and ECE R44/R129 (EU) safety standards and are professionally cleaned between rides.

What to request at booking:
• Child's age, height, and weight — we fit the correct seat class (rear-facing infant, forward-facing convertible, high-back booster, or backless booster).
• Number of seats required — multiple seats are standard on family bookings.
• Brand preference where available (Nuna, Britax, Cybex in most markets).
• Whether the chauffeur should install or leave for you to install.

For longer family trips or three-or-more car-seat configurations, request a Suburban or Executive Sprinter at booking — both have the floor anchor points and cabin room to fit multiple seats without crowding the adults.
