Holiday Lights Tours and Holiday Transportation in New Jersey & NYC
Minuteman Limousine & Car Service offers private, chauffeured holiday lights tours through Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, and New Jersey, along with transportation for holiday parties, shows, and Thanksgiving and Christmas airport travel. We have been driving New Jersey families, friends, and corporate groups through the holiday season since 1978.
Holiday Season Chauffeur Service
Three Ways We Help You Get Through the Holidays
From an evening under the lights at Rockefeller Center to an early flight out of Newark the day before Thanksgiving, holiday travel around New Jersey and New York City comes with heavy traffic, limited parking, and tight timing. Our chauffeurs plan around all three so your group can enjoy the season.

Holiday Lights Tours
Private Holiday Lights Tours from New Jersey to New York City
Driving into Manhattan to see the holiday lights usually means event-rate parking garages, closed streets around Rockefeller Center, and a long walk back to the car at the end of the night. On a chauffeured lights tour, your driver plans the route, drops your group close to each display, and waits nearby while you walk, take photos, and stop for dinner or hot chocolate.
Tours are reserved by the hour and begin at your home, hotel, or office anywhere in Morris County and North Jersey. We regularly take families, couples, friends, and corporate groups into New York City, and we can also build an evening around neighborhood displays closer to home.
New York City Holiday Lights
- Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree and the holiday window displays along Fifth Avenue
- Saks Fifth Avenue holiday light show across from the tree

Holiday Event Transportation
Holiday Party and Event Transportation Across NJ & NYC
December fills the calendar with office parties, holiday shows, and family gatherings, and many of those nights end later than planned. We schedule pickups around your event times, wait on site, and get every guest home safely, whether you are traveling as a couple or with a large group.
Company Holiday Parties
Shuttle employees and clients between the office, hotels, and the venue with our corporate transportation team.

New Year's Eve
Reserve early for New Year's Eve dinners, galas, and parties in New Jersey and Manhattan through our special occasion service.
Holiday Airport Transportation
Thanksgiving and Christmas Airport Car Service
The Wednesday before Thanksgiving, the Sunday after, and the days leading into Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve are among the busiest travel days of the year at New Jersey and New York airports. A drive that normally takes 35 to 40 minutes from Morristown to Newark can easily double, and Newark’s economy parking lot often fills by mid-morning on peak days.
Our chauffeurs track your flight, meet you at the terminal on your return, and choose vehicles with room for the whole family, holiday gifts, and extra luggage. Reserving early gives you the best choice of pickup times and vehicles during the holiday rush.

Holiday Transportation FAQs
How far in advance should I book a holiday lights tour?
Friday and Saturday evenings in December are the first dates to fill, so we recommend reserving as soon as your plans are set. Weeknight tours offer more flexibility and lighter crowds at the most popular displays.
Are holiday lights tours priced by the hour?
Yes. Lights tours are reserved by the hour, and your chauffeur stays with your group for the entire booking, including travel time to and from New Jersey.
Can we add a dinner stop or choose our own displays?
Absolutely. Share your dinner reservation and the displays you want to see when you book, and we will plan the route and timing around them.
When should I book Thanksgiving and Christmas airport rides?
As soon as your flights are confirmed. Pickup times around the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and the days before Christmas are reserved quickly, especially for SUVs and vans that fit larger families.
Which areas do you pick up from?
We serve Rockaway, Morristown, Parsippany, Randolph, Mendham, Chester, Madison, Florham Park, Mountain Lakes, Sparta, and communities throughout New Jersey, New York City, and the Tri-State area.
