Pickup Point and Departure Time from Manhattan
Personally, set the pickup point to Midtown Manhattan at the designated private pickup hub and fix a 7:15 AM departure. Outre hotel pickup, you may meet at a central Midtown meetup point; if you choose this, the driver uses a véhicule privé, and in some cases deux véhicules privés may be assigned to handle your group. The days before travel, confirm the exact point on your order and plan to arrive 10 minutes early to avoid delays. The voucher will display the final location and time. I would personally recommend arriving a few minutes early to ensure you’re ready when the driver signals.
Two practical options exist: hôtel pickup or a central Midtown meetup point. Hôtel pickup uses a private driver who collects at the hotel lobby; une zone privée may be arranged if you need a private meet-up area. The standard departure from Midtown is vers 7:30 AM; if you can, choose 7:15 AM to minimize traffic. Mais if your hotel is not convenient, pick the central point and still depart within the same window. The drive to DC takes about 4 hours 45 minutes, with one 15-minute rest stop after roughly two hours of driving. You’ll arrive in DC around 2:45 PM, subject to traffic.

Battery and Range Reality
