About Traveling New York City
There’s no place like New York. No matter how many times you’ve visited or how long you’ve lived here, there is always something new to discover. If you want a great view of the city, you have options. The Empire State Building, easily the city’s most famous landmark, has two observation decks offering views that extend into surrounding states. The Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center and the newly opened One World Observatory are also great vantage points.
Central Park is New York City’s backyard. Spend an afternoon in Sheep Meadow or walking through the Conservatory Garden and you’ll forget you’re in the most populous city in the country. Take a lap around the reservoir, go ice skating at Wollman Rink, visit the Central Park Zoo, or rent a rowboat. Also in Central Park: the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which is the largest museum in the country and houses more than 2 million works of art.
When exploring the city’s vast dining scene, where to begin? For a true New York dining experience, grab lunch at Eisenberg’s Sandwich Shop or Russ and Daughters. A special occasion or client dinner calls for an evening at Le Bernardin, a four Michelin-starred, seafood-centric restaurant helmed by acclaimed international chef Eric Ripert. The city also has plenty middle-of-the-road options, including an endless supply of bagels and New York-style pizza.
New York City is arguably home to the finest collection of museums in the world. Visit the Museum of Modern Art for a healthy dose of Picasso, Dali, and Monet; walk through the exhibits at the American Museum of Natural History; and admire the art – and architecture – at the Guggenheim.
Venture to the Lower East Side to the South Street Seaport. 200 years ago it was the city’s main port; today, the district is being revitalized to include plenty of shops and restaurants. Tour an historic ship docked along the pier or take a harbor cruise for even better views of the skyline, East River, and Brooklyn Bridge.
Take a break and escape the concrete jungle with a visit to Sleepy Hollow, a colonial-era village just 20 miles north of the city along the Hudson. Autumn is the best time to visit. The town, which inspired the legend of the Headless Horseman, comes alive with fall festivities and foliage. It’s a history buff’s heaven, home to a handful of historic sites that date back to the 1600s.
Visit Coney Island for a literal taste of classic Americana that will make you feel nostalgic for a bygone era. The old-fashioned seaside haunt is replete with roller coasters, a Ferris wheel, and lots of boardwalk bites – namely Nathan’s Hot Dogs, which hosts its annual hot dog eating contest every July 4.
Everything about New York City is fast-paced, and that includes getting around. Save yourself the stress and reserve limo transportation with OML. Our expert drivers can handle navigating the five boroughs for you.
Cancellation & Reservation Policies
Our Cancellation Policy
We prefer to receive any cancellations or changes at least 24 hours in advance, but we understand that unexpected things happen and will accept them up to at least one hour prior to the scheduled pickup time.
If one hour notice is not given, we will charge the minimum fare for a “no-show”.
Please retain the cancellation number our reservationist gives you for your records. If a change order is given for a later pickup time and it is not received within one hour of the original pickup time, a “wait time” charge will be incurred.
Drug Policy
We are aware that office employees or chauffeurs who use or abuse prohibited substances are a danger to themselves, their coworkers and to the customers who depend upon them to transport them securely in one of our vehicles. We can no longer depend upon individual discretion to provide the guarantee that substance abuse does not adversely affect any one of us. We realize that in today’s complex society it is necessary for O’Hare-Midway Limousine Service to insist upon the strict implementation and enforcement of this policy – and we intend to do so.
Any chauffeur who tests positive for substance abuse will not be “eligible for dispatch”; he or she will not be allowed to drive an O’Hare-Midway Limousine Service vehicle under any circumstance. All office employees will also be required to have “drug-free” status in order to remain on the job. We conduct periodic random tests to ensure that our staff is well monitored. Additionally, all new office employees and chauffeurs will be tested as a condition of employment. This policy is just one more way that O’Hare-Midway Limousine Service will demonstrate the important commitment to providing clients with the safest and most reliable form of ground transportation in Chicagoland.
Luggage Limitations Policy
In order to protect the property of our clientele, and in the interest of safety in general, the following luggage policies apply:
- Luggage must fit completely inside the vehicle. Tie-downs are prohibited.
- If a client has more luggage than we are able to fit into the vehicles trunk, a PRIVATE CAR is required. If you are unsure whether or not your luggage will fit, it is strongly suggested that you reserve a private car. Shared Car clients will not just be sharing a vehicle, but will need to share truck space as well. Please take this into consideration when reserving your vehicle.
- Skis will not fit safely in a Sedan. A Limousine or SUV will be necessary to ensure the safety of this equipment, as well as the safety of the chauffeur and passenger(s).
- Luggage that will not fit in the closed trunk of the vehicle will be put inside the car, as long as the safety of the chauffeur and passengers is not compromised.
No Nonsense Alcohol Policy
Our alcoholic beverage policy is based upon two statutes under current Illinois law. The first statute, #5/5-1, Class 8, deals with the distribution of alcoholic beverages. This law states that a license must be issued by the Illinois Liquor Control Commission in order to distribute alcohol. Under no circumstance may a license be issued to a livery vehicle. Therefore, it is illegal for O’Hare-Midway to provide alcohol to our passengers.
The second statute, #5/11-502, deals with the transportation or possession of alcoholic beverages in a motor vehicle. This law states that it is illegal for anyone to transport or drink alcoholic beverages in a motor vehicle. However, this statute “…shall not apply to the passengers in a limousine when it is being used for purposes for which a limousine is ordinarily used, the passengers on a chartered bus when it is being used for purposes for which chartered buses are ordinarily used…” Furthermore, “…a limousine is a motor vehicle of the first division with the passenger compartment enclosed by a partition or dividing window used in the for-hire transportation of passengers and operated by an individual in possession of a valid Illinois driver’s license of the appropriate classification…” As a result, we will allow our adult passengers to drink their own alcohol ONLY in a stretch limousine or mini-coach. No minor under 21 years of age is allowed to drink in our vehicles.
Our Reservation Policy
When you call to make a reservation, our reservationist will first ask you for the passenger’s contact phone number, including the area code, regardless of the pickup location. This number accesses the passenger’s profile in our computer system. This file will consist of the passenger’s name, address, preferred payment method, and an additional space for any special instructions.
