— The Service

Executive black car and chauffeur service from Long Island to Times Square.

RideSoHo’s Long Island-to-Times Square car service is built for the run from the suburbs into the busiest stretch of Midtown. A private vehicle and a professional chauffeur meet you at your door and drive direct to your Times Square destination, with a single confirmed rate and no metering. Whether you are coming from Great Neck on the North Shore, Garden City in central Nassau, Huntington in Suffolk, or the Hamptons on the East End, we route by the Long Island Expressway and the Queens-Midtown Tunnel, around the day’s traffic, and drop at the theater, hotel, or building entrance you name.

The clients who book this executive car service are Long Island residents heading to a Broadway show, business travelers bound for Midtown offices, families coming in for a weekend, and Hamptons and Gold Coast travelers who want a quiet, chauffeured ride instead of driving and parking in Manhattan or juggling the Long Island Rail Road and the subway. A private car is door to door, with no parking to find and no schedule to catch. We watch the LIE and the tunnel in real time, handle the tolls, and quote one flat fare for the whole trip.

Discreet, Professional Chauffeurs

Every RideSoHo chauffeur is licensed, background-checked, and experienced. Our chauffeurs know the North Shore and South Shore towns, the Long Island Expressway and parkway routes west, the Queens-Midtown Tunnel approaches, and the side streets around Times Square where a clean drop is harder than it looks. They keep the cabin quiet and the service professional throughout.

I I — O N T I M E

Timed to Your Schedule

For a show, a reservation, or a meeting, timing is the whole point. We plan the pickup around your curtain or your schedule, build in the LIE and the tunnel, and the chauffeur reroutes around backups in real time so you arrive with room to spare. On-demand and scheduled reservations are handled through 24/7 dispatch.

The Route to Times Square

The route runs the Long Island Expressway (I-495) west, or the Northern State Parkway, to the Queens-Midtown Tunnel and crosstown into the district. The chauffeur selects and adjusts the route in real time, choosing a bridge crossing when the tunnel backs up.

A Door-to-Door Alternative to the LIRR

The Long Island Rail Road runs to Penn Station, but you still drive to the station, park, and finish the trip from Penn to Times Square on foot or by subway. A private car service is door to door, with a chauffeur, no parking, and no schedule to catch.

Tolls & the Congestion Zone

Times Square sits inside Manhattan's Congestion Relief Zone, below 60th Street. The Queens-Midtown Tunnel toll and the congestion charge are both included in your flat rate, with no separate line item.

- Travelers We Serve Most

Residents, theatergoers, and corporate travelers.

North Shore & Gold Coast Residents

For residents of Great Neck, Manhasset, Roslyn, and the Gold Coast, we provide a discreet executive car service into the city, with consistent vehicles, account billing, and a chauffeur who knows the route, for shows, dinners, and business alike.

Hamptons, Corporate & Group Travel

For East End travelers, corporate accounts, and groups, we provide luxury sedans, SUVs, and vans, fixed pricing, and priority dispatch, whether it is a single principal or a full party heading into Midtown together.

Broadway & a Night Out

For theatergoers and a night on the town, we time the pickup to curtain, drop at the theater door, and have the car waiting after the final bow, no parking, no late-night train, no surge on the way home.

— Hourly Chauffeur

Hourly as directed for a full day or night in the city.

A trip into Times Square is rarely a single drop. You may want dinner before the show, a few stops around Midtown, or a chauffeur who waits through the performance and drives you home after. With hourly-as-directed chauffeur service, the car and driver stay with you, with wait time included in the rate, so you are never hailing a ride between stops in Midtown traffic.

 

Common itineraries include a Long Island pickup, dinner near the Theater District, the chauffeur waiting through the show, and the ride home afterward, all on one reservation. For a straight transfer from one Long Island address to a single Times Square destination, flat-rate point-to-point is typically the more economical structure. We build the evening around your schedule and confirm the rate before you book.

Routing & Traffic

Routing, tolls, and timing into Midtown.

The Route to Times Square

The route runs the Long Island Expressway (I-495) west, or the Northern State Parkway for the North Shore, to the Queens-Midtown Tunnel and crosstown to Times Square, with the Grand Central Parkway and a bridge crossing as alternates when traffic favors them. The chauffeur selects and adjusts the route in real time, so the fastest moving path is the one taken.

Tolls & the Congestion Zone

Times Square sits inside Manhattan's Congestion Relief Zone, south of 60th Street. The Queens-Midtown Tunnel toll and the Manhattan congestion charge are both included in your confirmed flat rate. The Long Island Expressway itself is toll-free, and there is no separate line item or end-of-trip add-on. The number you see at booking is the number you pay.

Peak Hours & Timing

Traffic on the LIE and at the Queens-Midtown Tunnel peaks on weekday mornings and late afternoons, and again before evening show times. For trips in those windows, dispatch builds in buffer time and the chauffeur stages the route early, so a meeting or a curtain is never left to the tunnel.
