How Long the Drive Takes From Rye
Rye sits on I-95 a few minutes from Connecticut, and I-287 ends at I-95 in Rye. From here you reach JFK, LaGuardia and Newark without driving through Midtown. These are usual drive times from downtown Rye. Rush hour and holiday weekends add time, so we plan your pickup around them.
Times are for the drive only. For a domestic flight we usually suggest leaving Rye about 2½ hours before takeoff for JFK or Newark, and about 2 hours for LaGuardia. Add an hour for international flights.
Rye to Manhattan: Car or Metro-North?
Rye station is on the New Haven Line, and the train to Grand Central takes about 40 to 55 minutes. If you are traveling alone to Midtown on a weekday, take the train. It costs less and skips the traffic.
A car is the better choice in these cases.
When a Car Beats the Train From Rye
Two or more of you are going, and one car is easier than train tickets and cabs
You have luggage, a garment bag or sample cases
You want to work on the way, and every car has Wi-Fi
Your stop is far from Grand Central, like Hudson Yards, Tribeca or Brooklyn
It is a late dinner, a show or a game, and you want a ride home without a train schedule
You are hosting a client and want them picked up and dropped off on time
Heading out east for the weekend? Our car service to the Hamptons picks you up at your door in Rye and drives you to Southampton, East Hampton or Montauk. Southampton is usually about 2½ hours away. Summer Fridays are slower, so we can suggest a pickup time that misses the worst of it.

Ernest was outstanding! We spent an afternoon doing a family history tour of Brooklyn with a lot of stops on crowded streets and in quiet cemeteries. It was great having someone else take care of the driving so we could enjoy the afternoon. The vehicle was immaculate, and Ernest was helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend Ernest and Gotham Ride and would use them again the next time we’re in town.
We used Gotham Ride Chauffeur Service for our airport pickup at LaGuardia Airport (LGA), and everything went smoothly from start to finish.
The booking process was simple, communication was excellent, and our driver made the airport pickup easy. The luxury SUV was clean, comfortable, and had plenty of room for our luggage.
What impressed us most was the professionalism and attention to detail. After a long flight, having a dependable private driver in New York City made a huge difference.
I would highly recommend Gotham Ride to families, business travelers, and anyone looking for a reliable LaGuardia airport transfer, luxury SUV service, or professional chauffeur in NYC.
Excellent service and a company I would happily use again!

Definitely a 5-star experience. We’ll be booking with Gotham Ride again!
Michael was absolutely wonderful! It was my daughter’s birthday, and when we arrived, Michael was waiting for us with her name on the sign and a balloon and gift for her! She felt so special and it was the perfect kick off to our NYC visit. The ride was comfortable, with water and phone chargers available. We will choose Gotham ride over all other services every time. Thank you, Michael!!
Absolutely perfect in every aspect. Driver was very accommodating, and Maggie, who works in scheduling and at the office as usual, was terrific. Cannot say enough about Gotham and would highly recommend it to anybody. Thank you again
I booked Gotham Ride to help with transportation for myself and my husband for our wedding weekend. Everything was perfect - booking was super easy and transparent, our driver, Vladi, was on time and super nice, and the cars were clean and comfortable.
I booked them one day for an hourly service, so that we could easily get from our apartment, to city hall, to photos in central park, and then to our hotel in Queens. It was a long day, with many stops (and some unexpected traffic) but Vladi was so accommodating and made the day so easy for us.
Later in the weekend I booked them for a point-to-point ride to take us from our hotel and back to our apartment. We had a lot of bags and luggage with us after the wedding, but Vladi was so helpful in loading and unloading the car.
Overall, we had a great experience and I will definitely book again the next time we need a chauffeur service!
We had a wonderful experience with Gotham Chauffeur Services. Our driver, Michael, was prompt, professional and courteous. The Cadillac Escaladewas spotless, comfortable and beautifully maintained.

We have repeatedly used the Gotham Ride Team for transfers from/to airports (JFK and Newark) and from New York to New Haven. They are impressively professional and reliable, offering impeccable service and updates on whether the driver is there, their name and contact number, as well as if the passenger is on board. Use them for yourself or for your kids, if you are a parent with an international/out of town student, for absolute peace of mind. Highly recommended.
My 17 year old daughter was traveling alone and I was very nervous to have her alone in a car with a stranger, but Gotham were amazing about answering my questions before I booked, and stayed consistently helpful throughout her trip. Because my daughter was a minor traveling alone, they not only made sure I had the driver's GPS location throughout the 2 trips, but they personally talked to me on the phone during the first trip when a GPS glitch occurred to assure me all was still good. Even more amazingly, before the second trip, Maggie personally called me on Sunday to ask whether we wanted the same driver as the first trip or a new one. I was really impressed with this level of personal service as they knew I was nervous, but because Alexander was great with my daughter on the first trip I was more than happy to have him drive her again. Gotham really impressed me throughout these trips and I will only use them whenever I need rides in or around the city. THANK YOU!
Excellent service from Gotham Ride. Our airport transfer from JFK was smooth, comfortable, and stress-free. The driver arrived on time, was courteous, and the vehicle was spotless.

Booked a Cadillac Escalade ESV from Newark Airport to FiDi for a business trip. Driver was on time and professional. Pickup was easy. The SUV was clean, spacious, and comfortable.
