MacArthur Airport Car Service to Manhattan & NYC

Rated Exellent by Trust Pilot

How Do You Get from MacArthur Airport to Manhattan?

Take a private car. MacArthur to Midtown Manhattan is about 51 miles, roughly an hour and 15 minutes on clear roads. Weekday rush hour on the Long Island Expressway can add an hour. Your chauffeur drives you from the terminal to your door with no train change, for one fixed price with tolls and tip included.

A Business Class Sedan seats three. A Business Sprinter Van seats 14 with 15 bags. Your quote covers the whole car, not a seat. These are the same pre-booked black cars we run across New York City.

The other way in is the Long Island Rail Road: a shuttle bus from the terminal to Ronkonkoma station, then the train to Penn Station or Grand Central. It costs less per person. A car is the better pick when you have heavy bags, kids, a group or a late landing.

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 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. If you’re looking for a dependable car service or JFK airport transfer in New York City, I highly recommend Gotham Ride.
