Are child car seats included or extra?

Included at no charge across all vehicles — request seat type and child age/weight at booking. Many operators charge $10-$25 per seat; Noble does not. Confirm in writing because the dispatcher pre-loads the seat.

What car seats does Noble carry, and are they NHTSA-compliant?

Infant (4-30 lbs), convertible (5-65 lbs), and booster (30-100 lbs) seats, all FMVSS 213-compliant. Models include Britax, Graco, and Chicco, inspected for damage, expiration, and installation before each use.

Are car seats required by law in a NYC black car?

Yes. NYS VTL §1229-c requires car seats for under-4s and boosters for 4-7s (under 4’9"/100 lbs). Taxis and rideshare are exempt under conditions; pre-arranged black cars are not — so Noble provides the seat.

Which vehicle is best for a family, and how much does it cost?

Sedan ($95/hr) for 1-2 kids, SUV ($135/hr) for 2-3 kids plus luggage, Sprinter for multi-generational groups with 2-3 seats. Airport flat rates: JFK ~$165, LGA ~$115, EWR ~$175.

Do Sprinter Vans fit multiple car seats?

Yes. Sprinter captain’s chairs have LATCH anchors and hold 2-3 booster/convertible seats while still seating the family and luggage — ideal for multi-generational pickups, weddings with kids, and weekend getaways.

Can I bring my own car seat?

Yes. Bring your own seat and the chauffeur will assist; most LATCH seats install correctly. Confirm a secure fit before departure, and note your plan at booking so dispatch pre-stages the right vehicle.

Family Car Service FAQs

The most-asked questions about NYC family car service with child car seats

Noble includes infant, convertible, and booster car seats at no additional charge across every vehicle — request the seat type and the child’s age and weight at the time of booking. Many NYC operators charge $10-$25 per seat per booking; Noble does not. The one rule that matters: confirm the seat in writing when you book, because the dispatcher pre-loads it into the vehicle before the chauffeur is sent, and a same-day add is not always possible during peak hours.

Noble carries three standard types: an infant car seat (rear-facing, 4-30 lbs, birth to roughly 12 months), a convertible car seat (rear or forward-facing, 5-65 lbs, 0-4 years), and a booster seat (high-back or backless, 30-100 lbs, 4-12 years). All seats meet US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 213 (FMVSS 213) for child restraints — common fleet models are Britax, Graco, and Chicco. Every seat is checked for damage, expiration date, and proper installation before each use.

Yes. New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law §1229-c requires children under 4 to ride in a federally approved car seat in any motor vehicle, and children 4-7 (under 4’9" and under 100 lbs) to use a booster. Children 8-15 must wear a seat belt. Importantly, while yellow taxis and rideshare are exempt under specific conditions, a pre-arranged FHV (black car) like Noble is not exempt — which is exactly why Noble provides and installs the appropriate seat as standard.

For one or two children, a Business Sedan ($95/hr or flat-rate point-to-point) seats the family with a single seat installed. For two to three children plus luggage, a Business SUV ($135/hr) is the family workhorse — Chevrolet Suburban-class space for strollers and bags. For multi-generational groups or NYC-to-Hamptons family weekends, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van holds 2-3 child seats plus the full party and luggage. Airport runs are flat-rate: JFK around $165, LGA around $115, EWR around $175 in a sedan.

Yes. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van Executive captain’s chairs include LATCH anchors, and a standard configuration holds two to three booster or convertible seats simultaneously while still seating the rest of the family with their luggage. This makes the Sprinter the go-to for multi-generational airport pickups, weddings with kids, and NYC-to-Hamptons or NYC-to-Westchester family weekends where one vehicle needs to carry everyone and the gear.

Yes. You are welcome to install your own car seat, and Noble chauffeurs assist with installation in any sedan, SUV, or Sprinter Van — most LATCH-equipped seats install correctly in our fleet. Always ask the chauffeur to confirm a secure installation before departure. Whether you use Noble’s seat or your own, book it at the time of reservation rather than at pickup so the dispatcher can pre-stage the vehicle correctly.
