Times Square Car Service

A Times Square car service ride works when the pickup point is a street a car can reach. Broadway through the plazas is closed to vehicles, so give a cross street or avenue corner, such as West 45th Street and Eighth Avenue. Book ahead with one all-in price, shown before you book, and your chauffeur meets you there.

Times Square is inside the Congestion Relief Zone, so any per-trip charge is already in your price. 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.

We cover all of Times Square and the blocks around it: the plazas, the Theater District, the Port Authority Bus Terminal and the hotel corridors on the avenues and cross streets. The key in every area is the same: give a corner a car can reach, not a spot on the plaza.

Times Square sits between Midtown West and Hell's Kitchen, with Grand Central and Penn Station a short ride away. Trips between them are booked the same way. For pickups anywhere else in the borough, from Lower Manhattan to Harlem, see Manhattan car service.

After a Broadway show, the sidewalks fill quickly, so a pickup a short walk from the theater is usually easier than one at the door. Give the theater name, then a corner on the nearest avenue or cross street. Book the pickup for after the curtain and walk to that corner when you leave. A theater group of up to 13 can leave that corner together in a Sprinter booked through our limo service in NYC.

Every regular pickup has a 15-minute grace period, after which waiting time applies. For dinner and a show, book hourly with a 3-hour minimum so the car stays nearby. To mark a birthday or an anniversary at a Broadway show, make it a luxury ride.

The Port Authority Bus Terminal is at 625 Eighth Avenue at 42nd Street. For a pickup after a bus arrival, give the terminal address and the street exit you will use, add your mobile number, and call the chauffeur when you are walking out. The car waits on the street side you name.

Getting from the bus to the car

Tell us your bus arrival time and the carrier in the notes. Walk out to the street you named, or call us at 888-887-0324 if you need help. With a 15-minute grace period on regular pickups, call when you are close to the exit.

The Times Square Alliance says Broadway between 42nd and 47th Streets is a pedestrian plaza closed to vehicles, while the cross streets stay open. If you travel south on Broadway, traffic is redirected at 47th Street, the Alliance says. Plan your pickup on a cross street or avenue, never on the plaza.

No-standing zones

Many Midtown curbs limit where cars can stop. Choose a corner where the car can pull over briefly, be ready when the chauffeur arrives, and keep your phone on. If the first corner is busy, the chauffeur may call with a spot a few steps away.

New Year's Eve

Street closure plans for New Year's Eve 2026 were not yet announced as of Oct 29, 2026; check the Times Square Alliance and NYPD before the night. Expect large closures on the night. Book early and plan a pickup well outside the closed area.

Times Square is about 20 minutes from LaGuardia, 27 minutes from Newark and 30 minutes from JFK without traffic. Example fares start at $156 to LaGuardia, $172 to Newark and $175 to JFK in an Executive Sedan. Flight tracking is included on every airport pickup.

Drive times are estimates without traffic, checked Oct 29, 2026 (OSRM). Rush hour and weather add time.

Example prices from our booking engine, November 2026. Taxes, tolls and fees included; gratuity optional. Your exact price is shown before you book.

Your chauffeur tracks the flight, with a 60-minute wait time after a domestic landing and a 90-minute wait time after an international landing. For JFK Terminals 5 and 7, take the free AirTrain to the Howard Beach car service lot to meet your car. See Times Square to LaGuardia car service, Midtown to JFK car service and Midtown to Newark car service.

Times Square is inside the Congestion Relief Zone, which covers Manhattan local streets at or below 60th Street. Black car and taxi trips that start, end or run inside the zone carry a $0.75 per-trip charge, and that charge is part of the all-in price you see before you book.
