Secure executive transportation in Manhattan, Westchester, and the Hamptons
P1 drives executives, families, and their guests across Manhattan, Westchester, Greenwich, northern New Jersey, and the Hamptons: security professionals based in the region, in unmarked, equipped luxury SUVs, with pickups linked to the flight at Teterboro and Westchester County and a 24/7 operations center behind every trip.
A security professional at the wheel
Drivers from law enforcement, the military, or executive protection, trained in protective driving and emergency medical response.
An equipped, unmarked vehicle
A late-model luxury SUV with a trauma kit, an AED, secure Wi-Fi, and a Principal Kit, and nothing on the outside that draws attention.
Live tracking for your team
Assistants, pilots, and family you authorize follow the vehicle in real time, with an update at each milestone.
A 24/7 operations center
Every trip is monitored from the advance brief to the final drop-off, and any change is handled immediately.
How P1 runs trips in New York
New York and New Jersey are served to the P1 standard, with drivers who are based in the region and whose knowledge of Manhattan, the northern suburbs, and the New Jersey towns they cover is recorded and verified. Here P1 works for family offices with residences on the Upper East Side or in Greenwich, for corporate security teams bringing executives into Midtown and the Financial District, and for the assistants and chiefs of staff who build those days hour by hour.
A typical arrival lands at Teterboro, about 12 miles from Midtown, or at Westchester County for Greenwich, Rye, and Bedford, with Morristown used for Short Hills and the New Jersey suburbs to the west. From there the driver and vehicle stay with the principal for the day: on hand near the office tower through the morning's meetings, then on to a lunch downtown, an appointment on Madison Avenue, a gallery in Tribeca, and an evening at a venue with its own arrival procedure. The entrance at each stop and the place the vehicle waits are worked out ahead, so the driver can be at the curb when the principal comes down.
The most demanding week of the year is the high-level week of the UN General Assembly in late September. The city declares its weekdays Gridlock Alert Days, First Avenue closes from East 41st to 48th Street, the FDR Drive can close, and Midtown traffic slows to a crawl. P1 plans East Side trips around the closures, builds time into every leg, and sends the route for each day in the Movement Brief, so assistants can set meeting times with the real drive in mind.

A driver and vehicle for the whole day in New York
Most members book P1 by the hour rather than by the ride. From the first pickup to the last drop-off, the same driver and vehicle stay with the principal through meetings, errands, lunches, and dinners.
- Booked by the hourReserve the driver and vehicle for the day, or for the hours you need. The vehicle stays with the principal instead of dropping off and leaving.
- Staged at every stopWhile the principal is in a meeting, a shop, or at dinner, the driver waits nearby at the right entrance, ready to leave when the principal is.
- Plans that changeAdd a stop, change the destination, or keep the vehicle longer from the app. Each change is priced and approved on the spot, and operations updates the driver.

Every pickup is linked to the flight, so an early, late, or diverted arrival re-times it automatically, and the driver is staged before the aircraft lands.
When New York gets busy, and what we plan around
- February and September
New York Fashion Week brings shows and late evenings across Manhattan, and pickups at crowded venue entrances are planned in advance.
- May and June
The Met Gala and Frieze New York in May, then the Tribeca Festival in June, add red-carpet arrivals and evening events to an already full spring calendar.
- Memorial Day to Labor Day
Hamptons season. Weekends shift east to Southampton and East Hampton, and Friday departures from Manhattan are planned around the traffic on the Long Island Expressway.
- Late August to mid-September
The US Open draws heavy traffic toward Flushing Meadows in Queens, and its night sessions finish late.
- Late September
UN General Assembly high-level week. Weekdays are Gridlock Alert Days, with closures on the East Side around the UN and on the FDR Drive.
- Thanksgiving to New Year's
The holiday season brings dense crowds to Midtown and Fifth Avenue, and dinners, parties, and shopping trips run late into the evening.
Waiting between stops in Midtown
Curb space in Midtown is scarce and the city limits idling, so a vehicle cannot simply sit outside an office tower for the length of a meeting. The driver stages nearby, follows the schedule, and brings the vehicle to the entrance when the principal is ready, and your team can see where it is on the tracking link at any moment.
Summer Fridays on the Long Island Expressway
Eastbound traffic on the Long Island Expressway backs up from about noon to 7 pm on summer Fridays, which can turn a 2- to 3-hour drive to East Hampton into 4 hours or more. Departures are timed around it where the schedule allows, and the brief gives the expected time for the hour you leave.
Arrivals at gala and show venues
On nights such as the Met Gala or during Fashion Week, the curb outside a venue is crowded with cars and photographers, and the drop-off and pickup points are often set by the event. Operations confirms those points ahead, and the brief names where the vehicle will be staged.
What the Movement Brief covers in New York
The people you designate receive a one-page brief before each trip, naming the driver and their credentials, the vehicle and its verified equipment, and the operations contact, with the local details below.
- The arrival airport (Teterboro, Westchester County, or Morristown), the FBO, and the meeting point at the aircraft or the FBO door
- The route and drive time for the day, including the crossing into Manhattan at the hour you land, closures during UN week, and Long Island Expressway traffic on summer Fridays
- Where the vehicle is staged at the residence, office building, or venue, and the entrance the driver will use
- The driver and their credentials, the vehicle and its verified equipment, and the operations contact for the trip
Between a car service and a full protection detail
Most trips do not call for a protection detail, but they deserve more than a chauffeur. P1 adds protective capability to everyday travel in New York without the footprint, minimums, or cost of a full detail.

Yes. P1 meets private flights at Teterboro (TEB) and Westchester County (HPN), and at Morristown (MMU) when it suits the first stop of the day better. The pickup is linked to the tail number, so an early or late arrival re-times it, and the driver is staged before the aircraft lands, at the aircraft where the FBO allows it and otherwise at the FBO door.
Yes. Most members book P1 by the hour, and the driver and vehicle stay with the principal for the day, staged near each stop and ready to move when the principal is. Stops can be added or the vehicle kept longer from the P1 app, with each change priced and approved on the spot.
A car service in New York is built around availability and comfort, and its drivers are chauffeurs. Every P1 driver is a security professional, typically with a background in law enforcement, the military, or executive protection, trained in protective driving, CPR and AED, and bleeding control. Each trip also comes with an advance brief for your team, live tracking, and a 24/7 operations center.
Drivers are armed where lawful and appropriately licensed, which in this region depends on the state and the license the driver holds. Armed capability is a final contingency; the driver's judgment, protective driving, and awareness come first.
Yes. Manhattan to East Hampton is booked as an intercity trip, with the driver staying with the principal through the weekend or returning afterward. The drive takes 2 to 3 hours in normal traffic and 4 hours or more on a summer Friday, when the eastbound Long Island Expressway backs up from about noon to 7 pm, so departures are timed around it where the schedule allows.
Send the itinerary as early as you can. During the high-level week in late September, weekdays are Gridlock Alert Days, First Avenue closes from East 41st to 48th Street, and the FDR Drive can close, so operations routes each trip around the closures, adds time to every leg, and puts the plan for each day in the Movement Brief.
Yes. Drivers are based in the region and cover Greenwich, Rye, Bedford, and Scarsdale, and Alpine, Englewood Cliffs, Saddle River, and Short Hills in New Jersey, as well as Manhattan. For a stay in Greenwich or the northern suburbs, Westchester County Airport is the closer arrival, and the same driver can cover the day in the city and the evening at home.
Yes. The people you authorize follow the vehicle in real time and are updated at each milestone, from the landing to the final drop-off. Pilots receive a crew link that shows where the vehicle is staged and when the passengers are on their way back to the aircraft, without destinations or family details.
The vehicles carry no branding, livery, or signage, and drivers wear business attire (slacks, a collared shirt, a light vest) rather than a chauffeur's suit and cap. There are no name boards at the FBO, every driver signs a nondisclosure agreement and the Code of Conduct before the first trip, and a tracking link shows the principal's name only if you allow it.
P1 is offered through membership rather than by the ride. P1 Membership begins with a minimum $25,000 prepaid annual service commitment, and the full amount is available toward eligible P1 services, in New York and every other market. The rate schedule is shared after a membership request.
