Lower Manhattan's Financial District: What You Need to Know

A Financial District car service ride is booked ahead with one all-in price, shown before you book. Give the building and the street entrance, choose a vehicle for your group and bags, and the chauffeur meets you there. FiDi is inside the Congestion Relief Zone, so any per-trip charge is already in your price.

Most trips from FiDi are airport runs, rides to Midtown meetings, and trips to Brooklyn through the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel. Drop-offs at Teterboro are available for private flights, and we meet arriving private flights at JFK, Newark, Teterboro (TEB), Westchester (HPN), Republic (FRG), Long Island MacArthur (ISP), Morristown (MMU), East Hampton (HTO), Gabreski in Westhampton Beach (FOK) and Trenton-Mercer (TTN). Your chauffeur meets you in the FBO lobby, or planeside when the FBO allows it.

FiDi Coverage Zones

We cover the whole Financial District, from the World Trade Center to Wall Street, the South Street Seaport, Battery Park and the Staten Island Ferry terminal. Narrow streets and security zones make a clear pickup point important, so give the building, the street entrance and the nearest corner.

Nearby neighborhoods

FiDi borders Tribeca to the north and Battery Park City to the west; see Battery Park City car service for pickups on that waterfront. Trips between them are booked the same way.

Major Pickup Points

The most common Financial District pickup points are One World Trade Center at 285 Fulton Street, the Oculus area, Pier 11 at Wall Street, Whitehall Terminal for the Staten Island Ferry, and the Battery. Give the street address for each one, since a building name alone can cover several entrances.

Pickup pointAddress or landmark to give
One World Trade Center285 Fulton Street
Oculus areaThe street and corner you will wait at
Pier 11Pier 11 at Wall Street, South Street
Staten Island FerryWhitehall Terminal
The BatteryState Street and the nearest cross street

One World Trade Center

One World Trade Center is at 285 Fulton Street, NY 10007. Give Fulton Street as the pickup street and add the entrance you will use. The World Trade Center site has several buildings and a large transit hub, so a street name and corner help the chauffeur reach you faster than a building name alone. Add your mobile number in the booking.

Staten Island Ferry Terminal

The Staten Island Ferry leaves from Whitehall Terminal, runs 24 hours a day, is free and takes about 25 minutes to St. George, according to NYC DOT. Use Whitehall Terminal as your pickup point after the ferry, and tell us which side of the terminal you will walk out on.

FiDi Airport Transfers

From One World Trade Center, Newark is about 25 minutes away, LaGuardia about 26 minutes and JFK about 37 minutes without traffic. Example fares start at $162 to LaGuardia, $164 to Newark and $201 to JFK in an Executive Sedan. Flight tracking is included on every airport pickup.

Airport day checklist

  • Book with your flight number so the chauffeur can track it
  • Give the pickup address, the cross street and any entrance detail
  • Choose an SUV if you have several large bags
  • Add child seats for young children in SUVs and Sprinters
  • Leave extra time for rush hour, which drive estimates do not include

Early morning airport runs

For an early flight, book the night before and add the flight number. Give the building and the exact entrance you will use, and keep your phone on so the chauffeur can reach you. Every regular pickup has a 15-minute grace period, after which waiting time applies.

Meet and greet

For a visitor landing at an airport, meet and greet is available for $25, and a dedicated greeter for $150. Add it when you book.

FiDi Business Travel: Built for Wall Street Schedules

Financial District business travel usually means early airport runs, client rides between Lower Manhattan and Midtown, and roadshow days with several meetings. Book one-way rides for single trips, or hourly service with a 3-hour minimum for a day of meetings, and put several riders on one company account. Downtown firms can book executive car service in New York for clients and staff, with corporate invoicing.

Corporate roadshows

For a roadshow, list every meeting address and time in order, and name one contact who can approve changes. A Luxury Sedan seats 3 and an SUV seats 6. Read more on our roadshow transportation page.

Visitors new to Lower Manhattan

Visitors often do not know which side of a building to wait on. Send them the exact pickup note from the booking, with the street and the corner, and add their mobile number so the chauffeur can reach them. A short note like "Fulton Street side, near the corner of Church Street" saves time.
